The students represented many fields of study. On average, surveyed students use 2.1 AI tools for their courses. ChatGPT remains the most common tool used, mentioned by 66% of respondents, followed by Grammarly and Microsoft Copilot (each 25%). Here are most common use cases: Despite their wide use of AI tools, students were not confident about their AI knowledge, the survey found. Fifty-eight percent of students reported feeling that they do not have enough AI knowledge and skills, and 48% felt poorly prepared for AI-related work. Notably, 80% of surveyed students said their university’s adoption of AI tools does not fully meet their needs. Students’ top AI needs included: ● Universities should provide training for both teachers and students on the effective use of AI tools (said by 73% of teachers and 72% of students); ●Universities should offer more courses on AI knowledge (72%); ●Universities should include students in choosing which AI tools to use (71%); ●Universities should increase the use of AI in teaching and learning (59%). “With AI being used more widely, universities must now treat it as a basic part of education, not just a tool,” said Alessandro Di Lullo, head of the Digital Education Group and an AI expert at The University of Hong Kong. At the same time, he said, “universities need to consider how to effectively improve AI skills to equip both students and academics with the skills to succeed in an AI-driven world.” 1. What is the most common use of AI among students? A. Search for information. B. Check grammar. C. Summarize documents. D. Create a first draft. 2. What worries most students when using AI tools? A. They do not use AI tools enough. B. They are not ready for jobs that need AI skills. C. They do not know enough about AI. D. Universities do not use AI effectively in teaching. 3. What does Alessandro Di Lullo emphasize regarding AI in education? A. Reducing AI adoption in academic settings. B. Improving AI skills for students and teachers. C. Focusing on AI as an additional tool for teaching. D. Balancing AI use with traditional educational tools. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍2024年全球AI学生调查结果，显示学生平均使用2.1款AI工具（ChatGPT 最常用），但普遍缺乏AI知识与技能，呼吁大学提供相关培训、课程等以满足需求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Search for information(搜索信息)”最高为69%，可知，学生中使用人工智能最常见的用途是查找信息。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Fifty-eight percent of students reported feeling that they do not have enough AI knowledge and skills, and 48% felt poorly prepared for AI-related work.(58%的学生表示他们觉得自己在人工智能方面的知识和技能不足，而48%的学生则认为自己在与人工智能相关的工作方面准备不足)”可知，他们对人工智能了解不够。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“At the same time, he said, “universities need to consider how to effectively improve AI skills to equip both students and academics with the skills to succeed in an AI-driven world.”(同时，他说道：“大学需要思考如何有效地提升学生的 AI 技能，以便让师生们具备在人工智能驱动的世界中取得成功的必备技能。”)”可知，亚历山德罗·迪卢洛在谈到教育中的人工智能时强调了提升学生和教师的AI技能。故选B。 B I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I met a courteous human being in this modern era of the so-called Generation X. Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a fashionable coffee place, with two of my grown-up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a steep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were walking down the steep stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down. Just as I was in the middle of the staircase, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who would want to go up in a hurry. I kept coming down as fast as I could, holding on to the banister (扶手), in spite of my advanced years. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort. Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through. We admired his kindness for both, waiting for us to come down before going up himself and also holding the main entrance door open for us to go out. To date, I still remember this gentleman and pray to God to make more human beings like him. 4. Before she met the man in the restaurant, the author had thought ________. A. she didn’t belong to the Generation X B. there were few polite people in the modern society C. having coffee in a fancy café was not her cup of tea D. human beings were born courteous 5. In paragraph 2, the underlined phrase “in a single file” means that ________. A. walking one after another in a line B. moving slowly to avoid slipping C. walking carefully with a file in hand D. moving in pairs down the staircase 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author was a lady in her early thirties. B. The author tended to feel nervous in some stressful situations. C. The man probably knew one of the author’s daughters. D. The man was unsure whether to go in the café or not. 7. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage? A. Strange encounter at a fancy coffee shop B. A narrow Escape on the Stairs C. A Man of Mystery and Manners D. An Unexpected Lesson in courtesy 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者原本认为现代社会缺乏礼貌，但一次在拥挤咖啡店的经历中，一位绅士的体贴行为让她改变了看法，并希望更多人能像这位绅士一样彬彬有礼。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I met a courteous human being in this modern era of the so-called Generation X. (我曾以为礼貌已成为过去式。在这个所谓的X世代的现代社会里，我很少遇到有礼貌的人。)”可知，作者在遇到餐厅里的男士前，认为现代社会中礼貌的人很少。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were walking down the steep stairs, where the narrow space(享用完咖啡和点心后，我们走下陡峭的楼梯，那里狭窄的空间)”和下文“with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.(几乎没有空间让另一个人爬上去或下来)”可知，楼梯陡峭，且空间狭窄，因此一次只能走一个人，画线部分in a single file指“楼梯太窄，一次只能容纳一个人”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort. (我的女儿们已经下楼了，担忧地抬头看着我，她们知道我是个容易紧张的人，所以希望我能在陌生人上楼前走到她们身边。)”可知，作者在有压力的情况下容易紧张。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I met a courteous human being in this modern era of the so-called Generation X. (我曾以为礼貌已成为过去式。在这个所谓的X世代的现代社会里，我很少遇到有礼貌的人。)”以及下文可知，文章开篇作者认为现代社会缺乏礼貌，后因在咖啡馆遇到一位有礼貌的男士——他主动等作者一行人下楼再上楼，还为她们扶门——改变了原有看法。D项“一次意外的礼貌教育”符合主题，适合用作标题。故选D项。 C Researchers from Northwestern University and the Chicago Botanic Garden will study the carbon capture (碳捕获) effects of soil additives on agricultural fields. For the world to meet the global average temperature goals set forth in the 2015 Paris Agreement, we need to actively decrease carbon emissions (排放). Earth and planetary sciences professor Andy Jacobson suggests Earth science can help it and that one possible way is to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and lock it away for a few thousand years. The chemical weathering of rocks is a natural phenomenon that transforms atmospheric CO2 into a stable mineral form. When CO2 dissolves in water, it creates a substance that can break down rocks. This transformation releases elements from certain rocks and changes CO2 into a stable form. Over time, these elements combine to form minerals that are the building blocks of many natural structures and rocks. This transformation helps to lock carbon in a solid form, which plays an important part in stabilizing Earth’s climate over the long term. “Over much shorter human timescales, this stable form of CO2 acts as a sink for atmospheric CO2,” says Jacobson. Can we speed up the weathering process and actively remove carbon from the atmosphere at rates fast enough to help reduce the impact of modern climate change? Enhanced rock weathering was proposed as a strategy of decreasing carbon emissions decades ago but only recently gained interest. An article in a 2020 magazine estimated that enhanced weathering could remove up to 2 billion tons of CO2 annually from the atmosphere by 2050. Jacobson is leading a team of researchers to investigate this negative emissions technology. In a series of experimental systems that simulate natural conditions at the garden, researchers will test the effects from adding different types of rock to soils used to grow various crops. The soil additives will include a volcanic rock that chemically weathers faster than other rocks and minerals, potentially speeding up CO2 capture and storage. 8. What does Jacobson stress about Earth science in paragraph 2? A. Its scientific origin as a principle. B. Its present limitations in carbon capture. C. Its potential role in achieving climate goals. D. Its logical accuracy in temperature prediction. 9. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 3 concerning rocks? A. Their natural structures. B. The reasons for their formation. C. The process of their weathering. D. Their stable chemical composition. 10. What is the main function of the question in paragraph 4? A. To introduce the following solution. B. To doubt the content of a magazine. C. To summarize the previous paragraph. D. To show the fast rate of climate change. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Is Farming the Key to Carbon Capture? B. Can Humans Stabilize the Climate of Earth? C. What Is the Chemical Weathering of rocks? D. How Do Carbon Emissions Speed up Global Warming? 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西北大学和芝加哥植物园的研究人员通过研究土壤添加剂（尤其是增强岩石风化）对农田碳捕获的影响，探索利用地球科学手段实现气候目标的可能性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For the world to meet the global average temperature goals set forth in the 2015 Paris Agreement, we need to actively decrease carbon emissions (排放). Earth and planetary sciences professor Andy Jacobson suggests Earth science can help it and that one possible way is to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and lock it away for a few thousand years.(要实现2015 年《巴黎协定》设定的全球平均气温目标，全球需积极减少碳排放。地球与行星科学教授安迪・雅各布森提出，地球科学可为此提供助力，其中一种可行方案是捕获大气中的二氧化碳，并将其封存数千年。)”可知，Jacobson强调地球科学在实现气候目标中具有潜在作用。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The chemical weathering of rocks is a natural phenomenon that transforms atmospheric CO2 into a stable mineral form. When CO2 dissolves in water, it creates a substance that can break down rocks. This transformation releases elements from certain rocks and changes CO2 into a stable form. Over time, these elements combine to form minerals that are the building blocks of many natural structures and rocks. This transformation helps to lock carbon in a solid form, which plays an important part in stabilizing Earth’s climate over the long term.(岩石的化学风化是一种自然现象，能将大气中的二氧化碳转化为稳定的矿物形态。二氧化碳溶于水后会形成一种可分解岩石的物质，这一转化过程会从特定岩石中释放出元素，并将二氧化碳转化为稳定形态。久而久之，这些元素会结合形成矿物，而这些矿物是许多自然构造和岩石的基本组成部分。这种转化有助于将碳锁定在固态形式中，对长期稳定地球气候起着重要作用。)”可知，该段主要围绕岩石的化学风化过程展开，介绍了其如何将大气中的二氧化碳转化为稳定的矿物形式。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Can we speed up the weathering process and actively remove carbon from the atmosphere at rates fast enough to help reduce the impact of modern climate change?(我们能否加速风化过程，并以足够快的速度主动从大气中清除碳，从而帮助减轻现代气候变化的影响？)”以及第五段开头“Enhanced rock weathering was proposed as a strategy of decreasing carbon emissions decades ago but only recently gained interest.(几十年前，增强岩石风化就被提出作为减少碳排放的策略，但直到最近才引起人们的关注。)”可知，第四段的问题提出了“能否加速岩石风化以快速固碳”的疑问，而第五段随即介绍了“增强岩石风化”这一策略，由此可判断该问题的主要作用是引出后续的解决方案。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers from Northwestern University and the Chicago Botanic Garden will study the carbon capture (碳捕获) effects of soil additives on agricultural fields.(来自西北大学和芝加哥植物园的研究人员将研究土壤添加剂在农田中的碳捕获效果。)”可知，文章开篇点明研究主题，探究土壤添加剂（岩石）对农田的碳捕获效果，结合全文内容可知，随后围绕岩石风化固碳原理、增强岩石风化技术及研究计划展开。A选项“农业是碳捕获的关键吗？”既体现了研究的应用场景（农田/农业），又点出核心主题（碳捕获），符合文章主旨。故选A项。 D Satellites are increasingly a global-communications lifeline, allowing people in remote areas to make phone calls and get online. Services such as SpaceX’s Starlink, by far the largest of the networks of telecommunications satellites in low Earth orbit, have been increasing rapidly during the past decade. This success comes at a cost. As things stand, most satellites are single-use products with lifetime of 15 years or less. Moreover, space debris (垃圾), which may cause damage to spacecraft, is a growing problem. The rapid increase in satellites raises key questions about whether humanity could or should litter the environment around Earth. Astronomers are raising their voice in this debate. Researchers pointing their telescopes at stars are increasingly finding their observations ruined by light streaks (光条纹) from satellites flying overhead. In the past five years, some astronomers and satellite operators have cooperated to preserve “dark and quiet skies”. This could involve changing a satellite’s design to make it less bright or organizing activities so that astronomers can point their telescopes to regions where satellites aren’t flying at any given moment. Beyond conflicts with astronomers’ observations, discussions about the future of satellites need to include voices of Indigenous (本土的) peoples, many of whom have important connection to the night sky but have long been excluded from decision-making and economic power in outer space. International discussions need to recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples in space as well as on Earth, says astronomer Hilding Neilson. The skies are a global resource, shared by all humanity, and it is crucial that decisions about its use consider the needs of all affected parties. Satellite connectivity remains essential for many people, including Indigenous communities in remote and under-served areas. This is why the conversation about astronomy and satellites cannot be reduced to“satellites are bad and we must save the night skies for astronomy”. 12. What is the public’s major concern about the growing number of satellites? A. They may pose a threat to the environment. B. They could increase global competition. C. They are too difficult to maintain. D. Their operational lifespan is too short. 13. Why did some astronomers and satellite operators choose to cooperate? A. To provide clear views for telescopes. B. To develop new advanced telescopes. C. To identify safer orbits for satellite operation. D. To boost the global satellite communication network. 14. What is Neilson’s suggestion concerning Indigenous peoples? A. Protect their traditional culture from disappearing. B. Expand their understanding of space. C. Involve them in space decisions. D. Improve their access to satellite services. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Satellite development needs more support. B. Satellite connectivity’s benefits remain to be seen. C. There is an urgent need to explore space resources. D Satellites and astronomy must find ways to co-exist. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了卫星数量增长带来的问题及应对措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The rapid increase in satellites raises key questions about whether humanity could or should litter the environment around Earth.(卫星数量的迅速增加引发了一个关键问题：人类是否能够或应该在地球周围的环境中乱扔垃圾)”可知，公众主要担心卫星数量的增长可能对环境构成威胁。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers pointing their telescopes at stars are increasingly finding their observations ruined by light streaks (光条纹) from satellites flying overhead. In the past five years, some astronomers and satellite operators have cooperated to preserve “dark and quiet skies”.(研究人员用望远镜对准恒星时，越来越多地发现他们的观测被头顶上飞行的卫星发出的光条纹破坏了。在过去的五年里，一些天文学家和卫星运营商合作保护“黑暗宁静的天空”)”可知，一些天文学家和卫星运营商选择合作是为了给望远镜提供清晰的视野。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Beyond conflicts with astronomers’ observations, discussions about the future of satellites need to include voices of Indigenous (本土的) peoples, many of whom have important connection to the night sky but have long been excluded from decision-making and economic power in outer space. International discussions need to recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples in space as well as on Earth, says astronomer Hilding Neilson.(除了与天文学家的观测发生冲突外，关于卫星未来的讨论还需要包括本土人民的声音，他们中的许多人与夜空有着重要的联系，但长期以来一直被排除在外层空间的决策和经济权力之外。天文学家Hilding Neilson说，国际讨论需要承认本土人民在太空和地球上的权利)”可知，Neilson建议让本土人民参与太空决策。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The skies are a global resource, shared by all humanity, and it is crucial that decisions about its use consider the needs of all affected parties. Satellite connectivity remains essential for many people, including Indigenous communities in remote and under-served areas. This is why the conversation about astronomy and satellites cannot be reduced to“satellites are bad and we must save the night skies for astronomy”.(天空是一种全球资源，由全人类共享，关于其使用的决策必须考虑到所有受影响方的需求，这一点至关重要。卫星连接对许多人来说仍然至关重要，包括偏远和服务不足地区的本土社区。这就是为什么关于天文学和卫星的讨论不能简化为“卫星是坏的，我们必须为天文学拯救夜空”)”可推知，卫星和天文学必须找到共存的方法。故选D。 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I were not allowed to say “I’m bored.” ___16___ I always assumed my parents made this rule to spare themselves from hearing us complain, but now I wonder if it had deeper historical roots. ___17___ For a long time, it has been viewed as an unpleasant, even wrong feeling. In ancient times, if someone showed the signs of boredom, they were wrong of “acedia,” a feeling of being apart that was seen as rude to the world and its creator. The growth of factories and time-saving devices only strengthened our wish to use time well. ___18___ Many parents try to keep their children from getting bored, either to stop complaints or because they think boredom wastes a chance to get ahead. None of these attitudes toward boredom strike me as healthy or beneficial. We need to move past our fear of boredom and start to see it as an unavoidable, necessary, and even advantageous experience. ___19___ It is a very unpleasant (and short) state that often pushes us to try new ideas. When we take away children’s boredom by giving them instant and shallow activities, we greatly lower their chances of learning new and challenging things well. ___20___ Instead, we should trust that children will find ways to amuse themselves — and maybe even learn to accept boredom as a gift, a chance to think, to create, to discover. As we learn to sit with boredom, we may find that it is not our enemy but our helper, something we need for a life of meaning and invention. A. Boredom, at its best, brings creativity. B. As a culture, we have a bad relationship with boredom. C. Today, we continue to view boredom with strong dislike. D. Schools should add more creative classes to prevent boredom. E. We should not fill every minute of our kids’ days with activities. F. If we were, we were instantly given a task, so we learned to avoid it. G. Modern technology has made boredom a rare experience for children. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了人们对无聊的传统负面看法及历史根源，提出应正视无聊，将其视为有价值的体验，反对用活动填满孩子的时间。 【16题详解】 根据前文“When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I were not allowed to say “I’m bored.” (我小时候，父母不允许我和兄弟姐妹说“我好无聊”。)”可知，空格处应说明违反这一规定的后果，F选项“If we were, we were instantly given a task, so we learned to avoid it. (如果我们说了，就会立刻被分配一个任务，所以我们学会了避免说这句话。)”中的“If we were”对应前文的“not allowed to say”，解释了“避免说”的原因，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据后文“For a long time, it has been viewed as an unpleasant, even wrong feeling. (长期以来，它一直被视为一种令人不快甚至错误的感觉。)”中的“it”指代“boredom（无聊）”，且后文讲述了古代及工业时代人们对无聊的负面态度，B选项“As a culture, we have a bad relationship with boredom. (作为一种文化，我们与无聊有着糟糕的关系。)”总领本段，概括了人们对无聊的负面认知，符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“The growth of factories and time-saving devices only strengthened our wish to use time well. (工厂的发展和省时设备的出现，进一步强化了我们合理利用时间的愿望。)”和后文“Many parents try to keep their children from getting bored, either to stop complaints or because they think boredom wastes a chance to get ahead. (许多父母试图让孩子避免无聊，要么是为了阻止他们抱怨，要么是因为他们认为无聊浪费了取得进步的机会。)”可知，空格处应衔接过去与现在对无聊的态度，C选项“Today, we continue to view boredom with strong dislike. (如今，我们仍然对无聊抱有强烈的反感。)”中的“continue”体现了态度的延续性，承接前文的历史态度，引出后文现代父母的做法，符合语境。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“We need to move past our fear of boredom and start to see it as an unavoidable, necessary, and even advantageous experience. (我们需要克服对无聊的恐惧，开始将其视为一种不可避免、必要甚至有益的体验。)”和后文“It is a very unpleasant (and short) state that often pushes us to try new ideas. (它是一种非常不愉快（且短暂）的状态，常常促使我们尝试新想法。)”可知，空格处应具体说明无聊的益处，A选项“Boredom, at its best, brings creativity. (无聊在最佳状态下能带来创造力。)”中的“creativity”与后文“try new ideas”相呼应，点明了无聊的优势，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Instead, we should trust that children will find ways to amuse themselves — and maybe even learn to accept boredom as a gift, a chance to think, to create, to discover. (相反，我们应该相信孩子们会找到自娱自乐的方式——甚至可能学会接受无聊作为一份礼物，一个思考、创造、发现的机会。)”中的“Instead”可知，空格处应提出与后文相反的错误做法，E选项“We should not fill every minute of our kids’ days with activities. (我们不应该把孩子的每一天都用活动填满。)”与后文“相信孩子能自娱自乐”形成对比，符合“Instead”所体现的转折关系，符合语境。故选E项。 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, 共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。 As a star in my high school team, I was never interested in team sports, but I loved track, confident in my ____21____.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she would feel jealous (妒忌的) and want to buy something better. Her parents often told her, “True value isn’t in what you own,” but she never listened. One day, Lily noticed a girl from another class, whose name was Mary. Mary’s family was wealthy, but she always wore simple clothes and carried an old schoolbag. Unlike Lily, Mary never joined in the students’ discussions about brands or prices. Instead, she spent her time helping classmates with math problems or volunteering in the school library. Her grades were always at the top of the class, and everyone respected (尊重) her. Lily couldn’t understand why Mary didn’t care about material things. One afternoon, Lily saw Mary sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. She decided to talk to her. “Why don’t you buy nicer things?” Lily asked. “Your family has enough money.” Mary looked up with a smile.“I’d rather spend money on things that matter,” she said. “Like helping others or buying books.” That night, Lily thought about Mary’s words. She realized that she had been looking for things that didn’t bring real happiness. The next day, she made a decision: she would stop comparing herself with others and start focusing on what truly mattered. 注 意 ： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 The following week, Lily began to learn from Mary. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The following week, Lily began to learn from Mary. She stopped begging her parents for expensive items and instead used her pocket money to buy a few second-hand books, which she shared with classmates who couldn’t afford new ones. When she saw someone struggling with homework, she would sit down patiently and help, just like Mary did. During lunch breaks, instead of talking about brand-new sneakers or phones, she joined Mary in the library, organizing books and helping younger students find what they needed. At first, she felt a little shy, but seeing the smiles on others’ faces warmed her heart. Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. Her grades had jumped from average to top 10, and she organized a weekly study group that helped half the class improve. At the school’s volunteer day, she led a team to clean the community park, laughing as she picked up litter with classmates. “Lily’s heart is as bright as her smile now,” her math teacher said in class. Her parents, seeing her donate old clothes to charity, hugged her tightly. Lily finally understood: true value lies not in what you have, but in what you give. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了高中生莉莉原本爱与他人攀比物质，在看到同学玛丽虽家境富裕却专注于帮助他人和学习后，深受触动并决定改变自己的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来的一周，莉莉开始向玛丽学习。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉开始学习玛丽后具体的行为表现。她不再执着于让父母买昂贵物品，而是把零花钱用于买二手书分享给同学，主动去帮助同学解决作业难题，还和玛丽一起在图书馆帮忙整理书籍、帮助低年级学生找书等。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，老师和同学们都称赞莉莉。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉做出改变后的成果体现。包括成绩提升进入班级前10，组织学习小组帮助很多同学提高成绩，在学校志愿者日带领团队清理社区公园等，以及老师、父母对她改变的认可，最终莉莉领悟到真正价值的所在。 2.续写线索：决定学习玛丽——具体行为改变——过程感受—— 老师和同学们都称赞——继续行动—— 自身领悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy /purchase ②帮助：help /aid ③组织：organize /arrange ④捐赠：donate /contribute 情绪类 ①害羞的：shy/bashful ②耐心地：patiently/with patience 【点睛】【高分句型1】She stopped begging her parents for expensive items and instead used her pocket money to buy a few second-hand books, which she shared with classmates who couldn’t afford new ones.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句以及who引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】At the school’s volunteer day, she led a team to clean the community park, laughing as she picked up litter with classmates.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 新泰一中北校高二年级上学期第二次大单元考试英语试题 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The students represented many fields of study. On average, surveyed students use 2.1 AI tools for their courses. ChatGPT remains the most common tool used, mentioned by 66% of respondents, followed by Grammarly and Microsoft Copilot (each 25%). Here are most common use cases: Despite their wide use of AI tools, students were not confident about their AI knowledge, the survey found. Fifty-eight percent of students reported feeling that they do not have enough AI knowledge and skills, and 48% felt poorly prepared for AI-related work. Notably, 80% of surveyed students said their university’s adoption of AI tools does not fully meet their needs. Students’ top AI needs included: ● Universities should provide training for both teachers and students on the effective use of AI tools (said by 73% of teachers and 72% of students); ●Universities should offer more courses on AI knowledge (72%); ●Universities should include students in choosing which AI tools to use (71%); ●Universities should increase the use of AI in teaching and learning (59%). “With AI being used more widely, universities must now treat it as a basic part of education, not just a tool,” said Alessandro Di Lullo, head of the Digital Education Group and an AI expert at The University of Hong Kong. At the same time, he said, “universities need to consider how to effectively improve AI skills to equip both students and academics with the skills to succeed in an AI-driven world.” 1. What is the most common use of AI among students? A. Search for information. B. Check grammar. C. Summarize documents. D. Create a first draft. 2. What worries most students when using AI tools? A. They do not use AI tools enough. B. They are not ready for jobs that need AI skills. C. They do not know enough about AI. D. Universities do not use AI effectively in teaching. 3. What does Alessandro Di Lullo emphasize regarding AI in education? A. Reducing AI adoption in academic settings. B. Improving AI skills for students and teachers. C. Focusing on AI as an additional tool for teaching. D. Balancing AI use with traditional educational tools. B I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I met a courteous human being in this modern era of the so-called Generation X. Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a fashionable coffee place, with two of my grown-up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a steep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were walking down the steep stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down. Just as I was in the middle of the staircase, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who would want to go up in a hurry. I kept coming down as fast as I could, holding on to the banister (扶手), in spite of my advanced years. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort. Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through. We admired his kindness for both, waiting for us to come down before going up himself and also holding the main entrance door open for us to go out. To date, I still remember this gentleman and pray to God to make more human beings like him. 4. Before she met the man in the restaurant, the author had thought ________. A. she didn’t belong to the Generation X B. there were few polite people in the modern society C. having coffee in a fancy café was not her cup of tea D. human beings were born courteous 5. In paragraph 2, the underlined phrase “in a single file” means that ________. A. walking one after another in a line B. moving slowly to avoid slipping C. walking carefully with a file in hand D. moving in pairs down the staircase 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author was a lady in her early thirties. B. The author tended to feel nervous in some stressful situations. C. The man probably knew one of the author’s daughters. D. The man was unsure whether to go in the café or not. 7. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage? A. Strange encounter at a fancy coffee shop B. A narrow Escape on the Stairs C. A Man of Mystery and Manners D. An Unexpected Lesson in courtesy C Researchers from Northwestern University and the Chicago Botanic Garden will study the carbon capture (碳捕获) effects of soil additives on agricultural fields. For the world to meet the global average temperature goals set forth in the 2015 Paris Agreement, we need to actively decrease carbon emissions (排放). Earth and planetary sciences professor Andy Jacobson suggests Earth science can help it and that one possible way is to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and lock it away for a few thousand years. The chemical weathering of rocks is a natural phenomenon that transforms atmospheric CO2 into a stable mineral form. When CO2 dissolves in water, it creates a substance that can break down rocks. This transformation releases elements from certain rocks and changes CO2 into a stable form. Over time, these elements combine to form minerals that are the building blocks of many natural structures and rocks. This transformation helps to lock carbon in a solid form, which plays an important part in stabilizing Earth’s climate over the long term. “Over much shorter human timescales, this stable form of CO2 acts as a sink for atmospheric CO2,” says Jacobson. Can we speed up the weathering process and actively remove carbon from the atmosphere at rates fast enough to help reduce the impact of modern climate change? Enhanced rock weathering was proposed as a strategy of decreasing carbon emissions decades ago but only recently gained interest. An article in a 2020 magazine estimated that enhanced weathering could remove up to 2 billion tons of CO2 annually from the atmosphere by 2050. Jacobson is leading a team of researchers to investigate this negative emissions technology. In a series of experimental systems that simulate natural conditions at the garden, researchers will test the effects from adding different types of rock to soils used to grow various crops. The soil additives will include a volcanic rock that chemically weathers faster than other rocks and minerals, potentially speeding up CO2 capture and storage. 8 What does Jacobson stress about Earth science in paragraph 2? A. Its scientific origin as a principle. B. Its present limitations in carbon capture. C. Its potential role in achieving climate goals. D. Its logical accuracy in temperature prediction. 9. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 3 concerning rocks? A. Their natural structures. B. The reasons for their formation. C. The process of their weathering. D. Their stable chemical composition. 10. What is the main function of the question in paragraph 4? A. To introduce the following solution. B. To doubt the content of a magazine. C To summarize the previous paragraph. D. To show the fast rate of climate change. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Is Farming the Key to Carbon Capture? B. Can Humans Stabilize the Climate of Earth? C. What Is the Chemical Weathering of rocks? D. How Do Carbon Emissions Speed up Global Warming? D Satellites are increasingly a global-communications lifeline, allowing people in remote areas to make phone calls and get online. Services such as SpaceX’s Starlink, by far the largest of the networks of telecommunications satellites in low Earth orbit, have been increasing rapidly during the past decade. This success comes at a cost. As things stand, most satellites are single-use products with lifetime of 15 years or less. Moreover, space debris (垃圾), which may cause damage to spacecraft, is a growing problem. The rapid increase in satellites raises key questions about whether humanity could or should litter the environment around Earth. Astronomers are raising their voice in this debate. Researchers pointing their telescopes at stars are increasingly finding their observations ruined by light streaks (光条纹) from satellites flying overhead. In the past five years, some astronomers and satellite operators have cooperated to preserve “dark and quiet skies”. This could involve changing a satellite’s design to make it less bright or organizing activities so that astronomers can point their telescopes to regions where satellites aren’t flying at any given moment. Beyond conflicts with astronomers’ observations, discussions about the future of satellites need to include voices of Indigenous (本土的) peoples, many of whom have important connection to the night sky but have long been excluded from decision-making and economic power in outer space. International discussions need to recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples in space as well as on Earth, says astronomer Hilding Neilson. The skies are a global resource, shared by all humanity, and it is crucial that decisions about its use consider the needs of all affected parties. Satellite connectivity remains essential for many people, including Indigenous communities in remote and under-served areas. This is why the conversation about astronomy and satellites cannot be reduced to“satellites are bad and we must save the night skies for astronomy”. 12. What is the public’s major concern about the growing number of satellites? A. They may pose a threat to the environment. B. They could increase global competition. C. They are too difficult to maintain. D. Their operational lifespan is too short. 13. Why did some astronomers and satellite operators choose to cooperate? A. To provide clear views for telescopes. B. To develop new advanced telescopes. C. To identify safer orbits for satellite operation. D. To boost the global satellite communication network. 14. What is Neilson’s suggestion concerning Indigenous peoples? A. Protect their traditional culture from disappearing. B. Expand their understanding of space. C. Involve them in space decisions. D. Improve their access to satellite services. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Satellite development needs more support. B. Satellite connectivity’s benefits remain to be seen. C. There is an urgent need to explore space resources. D. Satellites and astronomy must find ways to co-exist. 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I were not allowed to say “I’m bored.” ___16___ I always assumed my parents made this rule to spare themselves from hearing us complain, but now I wonder if it had deeper historical roots. ___17___ For a long time, it has been viewed as an unpleasant, even wrong feeling. In ancient times, if someone showed the signs of boredom, they were wrong of “acedia,” a feeling of being apart that was seen as rude to the world and its creator. The growth of factories and time-saving devices only strengthened our wish to use time well. ___18___ Many parents try to keep their children from getting bored, either to stop complaints or because they think boredom wastes a chance to get ahead. None of these attitudes toward boredom strike me as healthy or beneficial. We need to move past our fear of boredom and start to see it as an unavoidable, necessary, and even advantageous experience. ___19___ It is a very unpleasant (and short) state that often pushes us to try new ideas. When we take away children’s boredom by giving them instant and shallow activities, we greatly lower their chances of learning new and challenging things well. ___20___ Instead, we should trust that children will find ways to amuse themselves — and maybe even learn to accept boredom as a gift, a chance to think, to create, to discover. As we learn to sit with boredom, we may find that it is not our enemy but our helper, something we need for a life of meaning and invention. A. Boredom, at its best, brings creativity. B. As a culture, we have a bad relationship with boredom. C. Today, we continue to view boredom with strong dislike. D. Schools should add more creative classes to prevent boredom. E. We should not fill every minute of our kids’ days with activities. F. If we were, we were instantly given a task, so we learned to avoid it. G. Modern technology has made boredom a rare experience for children. 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, 共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。 As a star in my high school team, I was never interested in team sports, but I loved track, confident in my ____21____.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she would feel jealous (妒忌的) and want to buy something better. Her parents often told her, “True value isn’t in what you own,” but she never listened. One day, Lily noticed a girl from another class, whose name was Mary. Mary’s family was wealthy, but she always wore simple clothes and carried an old schoolbag. Unlike Lily, Mary never joined in the students’ discussions about brands or prices. Instead, she spent her time helping classmates with math problems or volunteering in the school library. Her grades were always at the top of the class, and everyone respected (尊重) her. Lily couldn’t understand why Mary didn’t care about material things. One afternoon, Lily saw Mary sitting alone under a tree, reading a book. She decided to talk to her. “Why don’t you buy nicer things?” Lily asked. “Your family has enough money.” Mary looked up with a smile.“I’d rather spend money on things that matter,” she said. “Like helping others or buying books.” That night, Lily thought about Mary’s words. She realized that she had been looking for things that didn’t bring real happiness. The next day, she made a decision: she would stop comparing herself with others and start focusing on what truly mattered. 注 意 ： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 The following week, Lily began to learn from Mary. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, teachers and classmates all praised Lily. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
