But the modern movement itself didn’t emerge until the late 1960s. Below are some artworks that help tell the story of Land Art as it has expanded and evolved since then. A Line Made By Walking One of the first examples of Land Art, A Line Made By Walking, was created by Richard Long in 1967 by walking the same path again and again in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Since it was unable to be commercialized, it was applauded for having changed the definition of what art could be. Spiral (螺旋) Jetty Another noticeable piece of Land Art is undoubtedly Spiral Jetty, which was created by Robert Smithson in April of 1970. Using natural materials including rocks and earth, Smithson built a 457-meter-long spiral off the shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The Lightning (闪电) Field The most unusual Land Art work of all is The Lightning Field created by Walter de Maria in 1977. She used unconventional materials to draw attention to the power of nature. The piece consisted of 400 steel poles arranged in a desert ringed by mountains in New Mexico to attract lightning during storms. Due to the unpredictability of nature, this display could take on many forms depending on the weather. Washington’s Crossing In 1969, Bill Beckley went to the location of George Washington’s famous crossing of the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War and repeated the action while pouring white paint behind him. This work built a sort of bridge between Land Art which tries to promote a more positive relationship between the audience and the earth and the so-called Narrative Art in which story is the top priority. 1. When was A Line Made By Walking created? A. In 1967. B. In 1969. C. In 1970. D. In 1977. 2. Which artwork should be appreciated during storms? A. Spiral Jetty. B. Washington’s Crossing. C. The Lightning Field. D. A Line Made By Walking. 3. What is special about the last piece? A. It focuses on preservation. B. It stresses story-telling. C. It can’t be sold to museums. D. It uses unusual materials. B As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan found it hard to believe that many people in Africa lacked clean water. Seeing the drinking fountain just ten steps away from his classroom, he wondered why African children had to walk ten kilometers for dirty water that made them sick. He decided to help. Ryan initially aimed to earn $70 for a well through chores. However, a charity informed him a well actually cost $2,000. Determined, Ryan expanded his efforts by persuading classmates and neighbors to donate. With a family friend’s help, his story spread publicly, and he soon raised the full amount. A well was built near a Ugandan primary school, freeing children from long, dangerous walks for water. When Ryan visited, they welcomed him with joyful songs, dances, and gifts. Seeing the direct impact of his work, Ryan felt profound happiness. This success inspired Ryan to establish a foundation, encouraging broader participation in his mission. The foundation continues to grow, supporting well-building projects across Africa. To date, over 800,000 people in 16 countries have gained access to clean water. Reflecting on his journey, Ryan now believes the essential question isn’t “Why don’t I help?” but “How can I help today?”. His story proves that a child’s determination can create lasting change. 4. How much did it cost to build the well? A. 70 dollars. B. 1,300 dollars. C. 2,000 dollars. D. 800,000 dollars. 5. How did Ryan raise more dollars? A. By telling his story to his uncle. B. By encouraging his family to help. C. By cleaning more windows and doing gardening. D. By persuading his classmates and neighbours to donate money. 6. Why did Ryan set up a foundation? A. To build more wells. B. To make his parents’ dream a reality. C. To encourage more friends to help. D. To inspire people to participate. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. A child’s determination to make a difference. B. The process of building wells in Africa. C. The importance of starting a foundation. D. A boy earning money for his first well. C Sharks: Dangerous or Endangered? We see a woman swimming at night in dark sea. Suddenly, she is pulled underwater. She surfaces, cries in fear, then disappears forever. This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws, showing a shark attack. It tells the story of a great white shark that attacks and kills swimmers. Jaws was a great success, attracting huge audiences and winning many awards. It strengthened people’s long-held idea of the great white shark as a dangerous animal. People have always been scared of sharks, but Jaws made things worse. It made people frightened of sharks, especially of the great white shark. Many people who saw the film started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans. Some people stopped swimming in the sea, afraid of the horrible creature from the film. Other people started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. At that time, nobody cared if sharks were killed, or how many were killed. People just wanted them killed. After 1975, the number of large sharks around America fell quickly, and soon fell around the world. This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also finning. Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off. The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully. The fins are used in shark fin soup. Finning kills millions of sharks a year. Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on. In 1980, Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight. It was an area where fishermen were finning, and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks. Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him. He came to see people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. From that day on, he fought to protect sharks. He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks’ behaviour. “Sharks don’t target humans,” he said. Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food, and they attack us by mistake. Only around six people are killed by sharks every year. Fortunately, not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks—some became interested in understanding them. Today, as we learn more about sharks, more people than ever want to protect them from extinction. 8. The opening scene of the film Jaws is mentioned to _________. A. introduce the topic B. make people aware of sharks C. tell sharks are lovely D. show its anger in the sea 9. Which of the following was led to by the film? A. Many sharks were killed for finning. B. Children were more frightened of sharks. C. Most people stop swimming in the sea. D. People believe sharks are horrible animals. 10. What does the third paragraph mainly tell? A. Finning led to a fall in the number of sharks. B. Finning should be forbidden by the law. C. It’s cruel for the sharks to be killed for profit. D. It’s the film that makes finning popular. 11. How does the author of the text feel about the future of the sharks? A. Worried. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Pessimistic. D “Computer software to identify AI-generated text exists, but most programs share one weakness: no sense of style,” says Jun Jang, a 16-year-old junior at Oxford High School in Mississippi. His new software hopes to fill that gap. Jun says he often sees students admit using AI tools on classroom assignments. “But relying too much on these tools can be harmful,” Jun says, pointing to a 2025 study published in Societies. “I figured that by solving this issue, I could assist teachers as well as help kids become more creative and contribute more innovation.” Currently, most AI detectors look at one text by itself, and search for certain AI traits (特征) but don’t account for someone’s unique style of writing. Jun’s program instead analyzes a text known to have been written by a student without AI help. How? Schools already use browser-lockdown programs that block access to AI writing tools. A teacher could collect writing samples at the beginning of the school year when students are in this lockdown mode and “cannot cheat”. After that, the teacher can employ his new program to compare future work by the student with those early samples. Jun’s software then reviews the text from a known author for how that person used such things as punctuation and grammar. Did the writer regularly use long, complex sentences, simple ones or a mix of both? His software searches for such personal styles in someone’s writing. Then it looks for evidence of the same style traits in a second text. By carefully examining the two, it judges whether both share the same author. To test his model, he trained his model on some data, and then gave it a new set of data and asked it to identify whether the two documents came from the same author. Compared to author-verifying software on the market, Jun’s model was more veracious. He reports a 25% increase across the board”. If a student’s work gets flagged as AI-written, Jun’s model explains how the model arrived at that judgment. Teachers will understand how a model made its decision, therefore being able to talk to their students about those issues. 12. What is a feature of Jun’s software? A. It considers writers’ writing styles. B. It is poor at analyzing AI texts. C. It fails to search for certain Al traits. D. It can increase data processing speed. 13. How does Jun’s software detect AI-generated texts? A. By quoting a teacher. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By providing statistics. 14. What does the underlined word “veracious” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Creative. B. Accurate. C. Complex. D. Practical. 15. How can Jun’s software benefit teachers? A. Generate writing samples. B. Identify students’ emotions. C. Simplify grading processes. D. Explain detection decisions. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分125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。 Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing much, but in many ways they are the unsung heroes of the home. ____16____, but studies have shown that they can promote people’s wellbeing by improving their mood (心情), reducing stress and helping their memory.

For months, I’d talked non-stop about the forest adventures and watching stars at night shown in the camp brochure. “It’s a chance to be on my own. And I will learn something,” I’d say. Finally, my mother agreed, and I spent weeks packing something necessary — sure this would be the best summer ever. The first day at Camp Redwood was amazing. As soon as I stepped off the bus, the fresh pine smell and the sound of birds singing made me feel alive. I met Sarah, my camp roommate, and we quickly became friends. That evening, we roasted some food over the campfire and then gathered in the tent to tell stories, each of which made us jump and laugh. Over the following days, the camp leader, Mr. Carter, patiently taught us to identify different bird calls by their sounds and deal with accidents. We also learned to make some special and beautiful items with what could be found in nature. I secretly made a hat with some leaves for my mother. Everything was perfect — until the last night. A thunderstorm hit suddenly. Rain beat down on the tent and wind howled like a pack of wolves. Sarah and I stuck together, scared. Our tent started leaking, and our sleeping bags became completely wet. “I want to go home, now!” Sarah cried. Thinking of what I had said to my mother, I grabbed the extra plastic sheet from my backpack and shouted, “Let’s fix this!” We struggled in the dark, our hands shaking from the cold and fear as we tried to tie the plastic sheet over the tent. The wind pushed against us, making it hard to hold the slippery fabric. Just as we tied the last knot (结), Mr. Carter arrived with a flashlight. His eyes opened wide when he saw the fixed tent. “You two did that?” he asked, surprised. We nodded proudly. Mr. Carter offered to take a photo of Sarah and me achieving something amazing. At that moment, I felt eager to go home to share something with my mother. 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。 The next day, when I got home, my mother saw my muddy shoes and asked, “How was it?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother had a good look at the photo and the gift and said, “You’re absolutely right!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 大通二中2025～2026学年第一学期高三年级教学质量期中检测试卷 英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：外研版必修第一册～必修第三册。 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.

Then I carefully pulled out a photo from my pocket — Sarah and I smiled widely through rain-soaked hair, plastic sheet strings twisted around our fingers as we tied the knot — and said, “I learned something.” Digging into the depths of my bag, I gently placed the hat into my mother’s hand and said, “This is for you.” My mother had a good look at the photo and the gift and said, “You’re absolutely right!” I saw pride in her eyes and added excitedly, “I learned that being on my own isn’t about doing everything alone. It’s about facing challenges with courage and cleverness — and sometimes with a friend.” My mother’s eyes softened as she put on the hat carefully. “I’m so proud of you,” she whispered, pulling me into a warm hug. At that moment, I knew this was truly the best summer ever — not despite the storm, but because of it. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
