Among the eye-catching displays are Camp’s own handmade dolls which bring every corner of the gallery to life with stories waiting to be discovered. Camp’s artistic journey kicked off when her mother once allowed her to pick out whatever crafts she wanted to try in the art store Zabar. She later pursued her passion by studying Studio Arts and Art History at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by a Master’s degree in Arts Administration. Though her later path wasn’t always smooth, Camp’s passion for art never faded. Her determination and talent paved the way for her remarkable career. As a doll maker, Kimberly Camp not only uses a diverse range of materials collected from across the globe to add the dolls’ unique charm but establishes a strong connection to African cultural heritage in her dolls. Her first dolls “Brown Babies” featured 32 traditional African dress designs, capturing people’s hearts with their cultural richness. Her breakthrough moment came in 1982 when her 55 Kwanzaa (宽扎节) dolls were sold out in just a few hours, pushing her into the spotlight. Soon after, she introduced “Kimkins”, a line of dolls dressed in traditional African fabrics, with distinctive hand-painted faces. At their pinnacle in 1985~1986, Camp produced 2,000 “Kimkins” annually. In fact, Camp’s dolls are more than toys but recognized as “soft sculptures” mirroring her personality and humor. Over years, her works have been shown in over 100 exhibitions across the U. S. and around the world. In 2020, Camp received the Award of Excellence: Craft Makes Us Human for her dolls. Today, Camp’s hands are never still. She continues to explore new artistic fields, fully absorbed in every moment of her art-filled life. 4. What inspired Kimberly Camp’s early interest in art? A. Her work in a gallery. B. Her visit to an art store. C. Her family background. D. Her university education. 5. What do we know about Kimberly Camp’s dolls? A. They reflect a new art form. B. They inspire more American artists. C. They are specially sold during Kwanzaa. D. They showcase traditional African elements. 6. What does the underlined word “pinnacle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Crisis. B. Exploration. C. Summit. D. Adventure. 7. Which of the following could be the best title for this text? A. Telling the History of Africa Through Dolls B. Weaving African Heritage into Soft Sculptures C. Kimberly Camp: Master of Arts Administration D. Kwanzaa Dolls: Bridging Generations with Tradition 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了Kimberly Camp的艺术生涯和成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Camp’s artistic journey kicked off when her mother once allowed her to pick out whatever crafts she wanted to try in the art store Zabar.(Camp的艺术之旅始于她的母亲曾经允许她在Zabar艺术商店挑选任何她想尝试的工艺品)”可知，参观了一家艺术品商店激发了Kimberly Camp早期对艺术的兴趣。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As a doll maker, Kimberly Camp not only uses a diverse range of materials collected from across the globe to add the dolls’ unique charm but establishes a strong connection to African cultural heritage in her dolls. Her first dolls “Brown Babies” featured 32 traditional African dress designs, capturing people’s hearts with their cultural richness.(作为一名娃娃制造商，金伯利·坎普不仅使用从世界各地收集的各种材料来增加娃娃的独特魅力，而且在她的娃娃中建立了与非洲文化遗产的强烈联系。她的第一个娃娃“棕色婴儿”采用了32种传统的非洲服装设计，以其丰富的文化俘获了人们的心)”可知，Camp的娃娃展示了传统的非洲元素。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Camp produced 2,000 “Kimkins” annually.(坎普每年生产2000个“Kimkins”)”可推知，每年生产2000个“Kimkins”，结合后面年份，应是Camp的巅峰时期，所以pinnacle应是“鼎盛时期”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第三段“As a doll maker, Kimberly Camp not only uses a diverse range of materials collected from across the globe to add the dolls’ unique charm but establishes a strong connection to African cultural heritage in her dolls. ... In fact, Camp’s dolls are more than toys but recognized as “soft sculptures” mirroring her personality and humor. Over years, her works have been shown in over 100 exhibitions across the U. S. and around the world. In 2020, Camp received the Award of Excellence: Craft Makes Us Human for her dolls.(作为一名娃娃制造商，金伯利·坎普不仅使用从世界各地收集的各种材料来增加娃娃的独特魅力，而且在她的娃娃中建立了与非洲文化遗产的强烈联系。……事实上，坎普的娃娃不仅仅是玩具，而是被认为是反映她个性和幽默的“软雕塑”。多年来，她的作品在美国和世界各地的100多个展览中展出。2020年，坎普因她的娃娃获得了优秀奖：工艺使我们成为人类)”可知，本文主要讲述了Kimberly Camp将非洲文化遗产融入玩偶创作，其作品被称作“软雕塑”，所以B项“将非洲遗产编织成柔软的雕塑”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 C In the age of AI, worries about its impact on the environment are snowballing. For example, asking ChatGPT a question uses ten times more energy than an old-fashioned search. The development of AI has also caused a big increase in greenhouse-gas emissions. Google’s emissions went up nearly 50% from 2019 to 2023. However, these concerns might be overstated. In fact, AI may be less energy-hungry than many people assume. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the electricity used by data centres could become three times as much within five years. But at present, the 1.5% of global electricity consumption related to data centres mainly comes from things like streaming, social media and online shopping. Moreover, some of AI’s electricity use will help with greening the economy. AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical grids (电网), cut fuel use in shipping and spot invisible leaks of greenhouse gas. Policymakers and industry leaders face the task of maximizing AI’s advantages while minimizing its climate effects. The best way would be for governments to set a proper price for carbon and let the market operate. But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream, focusing on other three measures are more down-to-earth. The first is more openness. Starting in August 2026, the EU will require some AI developers to report how much energy they use in detail. That approach should be copied elsewhere. A second is to rethink how data centers operate. The IEA notes that being able to shift workloads between different data centers at different times could reduce stress and help balance energy grids. Third, technology companies must keep their promises about protecting the environment instead of depending on buying renewable-energy credits. Doubling down on such approaches would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero. 8. What is the main concern about AI? A. Its inability to reduce emissions. B. Its impact on social development. C. Its shock on old-fashioned search. D. Its high-level energy consumption. 9. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. AI’s environmental-friendly potential remains tested. B. AI has a minor role in the current electricity consumption. C. AI is currently the most effective way to reduce emissions. D. The process of AI detecting gas leaking is easy to achieve. 10. Which solution is more realistic to minimize AI’s climate effects? A. Fixing a proper price for carbon. B. Allowing the market to operate. C. Reconsidering data center operations. D. Purchasing renewable-energy credits. 11. Which of the following is the best title for text? A. AI and Climate: A Battle of Balancing. B. Climate: A Victi m or a Beneficiary of AI? C. AI’s next target: Environmental Protection. D. AI: A Threat or a Contributor to the Climate? 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是人工智能（AI）对环境的影响，指出人们对AI高能耗、增加温室气体排放存在担忧，但这种担忧可能被夸大，AI或许不像人们想的那么耗能，且还有助于环保。同时，本文提出政策制定者和行业领导者需平衡AI优势与气候影响，并给出具体解决措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For example, asking ChatGPT a question uses ten times more energy than an old-fashioned search. The development of AI has also caused a big increase in greenhouse-gas emissions.(例如，向ChatGPT询问一个问题比传统的搜索多消耗十倍的能量。人工智能的发展也导致了温室气体排放的大幅增加。)”可知，人们主要担心AI的高能耗问题，故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the electricity used by data centres could become three times as much within five years. But at present, the 1.5% of global electricity consumption related to data centres mainly comes from things like streaming and social media.(国际能源署（IEA）预测，数据中心的用电量将在五年内增加三倍。但目前，与数据中心相关的1.5%的全球电力消耗主要来自流媒体和社交媒体。)”可知国际能源署预测未来五年数据中心用电可能变为三倍，但目前数据中心占全球电力消耗的1.5%主要来自流媒体和社交媒体等，言外之意是目前AI在数据中心电力消耗方面作用较小，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The best way would be for governments to set a proper price for carbon and let the market operate. But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream, focusing on other three measures are more down-to-earth.(最好的办法是政府为碳设定一个合适的价格，让市场运作。但是，由于全球碳价格仍然是一个遥远的梦想，因此关注其他三个措施更为实际。)”以及第四段“A second is to rethink how data centers operate.(第二是重新思考数据中心的运作方式。)”可知，设定合适的碳价是最好的方法，但这还很遥远，而重新思考数据中心的运营方式是更切实可行的措施之一，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“In the age of AI, worries about its impact on the environment are snowballing.(在人工智能时代，对其对环境影响的担忧正在滚雪球。)”指出人们担忧人工智能对环境的影响，如高能耗和增加温室气体排放等，第二段“AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical grids(电网), cut fuel use in shipping and spot invisible leaks of greenhouse gas.(人工智能已经帮助提高了电网的效率，减少了航运中的燃料使用，并发现了看不见的温室气体泄漏。)”又提到人工智能在一些方面有助于经济绿化和环保，如改善电网效率等，文章倒数第二段集中提出了一些使人工智能减少对气候的负面影响并发挥其优势的措施，纵观全文，文章都在围绕着人工智能对气候的影响来展开，所以D选项AI: A Threat or a Contributor to the Climate?(人工智能：对气候的威胁还是贡献？)准确地概括了文章关于人工智能对气候影响的讨论，既提到了人们的担忧（威胁），又提到了它的环保潜力（贡献），作为文章题目最合适，故选D项。 D It’s not just humans who have trouble making up — even ants aren’t quick to forgive, either. Ants rely heavily on their sense of smell to distinguish nestmates from outsiders. A familiar smell allows ants to know which nearby ants are there to help, and which may fight for the same resources. But new research from evolutionary biologists at Germany’s University of Freiburg indicates ants don’t just react in the moment — they preserve knowledge of hostile (敌对的) encounters with neighboring enemies, and act accordingly. Experiments were conducted to determine if ants remember bad experiences with other ants, and how it influences their relationships. First, they placed ants into 60 second meet-and-greet situations: In one setting, the insects simply encountered some of their nestmates; another situation involved a group interacting with aggressive and hostile ants from other groups. This was then repeated once for each group over five days. From there, scientists examined how the various ant groups subsequently reacted when they encountered the aggressive ants. Further analysis showed ants were more hostile towards ants that smelled of past bad encounters with other nests. They may spray formic acid (蚁酸) at one another. Volker Nehring, co-author of the study, said, "We often underestimate insect cognition (认知). Ants aren’t inflexibly programmed — they learn from interactions with others, and sense of smell plays a crucial role in the formation of both nestmate and non-nestmate recognition patterns.” Researchers also believe these results imply ants can classify smells for ants outside their colonies, which may help make defensive responses accordingly. Moving forward, the biologists hope to look into how much ants can adapt their sense of smell based on these interactions to see if the knowledge translates on an even deeper Level. 12. What can we learn from the new research? A. Ants act on past memories. B. Ants have common enemies. C. Ants locate food resources alone. D. Ants compete with each other for food. 13. How were the two settings different in experiment design? A. Species of ants. B. Duration of encounters. C. Number of repetitions. D. Relationship between ants. 14. What does Volker Nehring imply in paragraph 4? A. Ants have a fixed recognition pattern. B. Ants gain cognition based on experiences. C. Interactions depends on the degree of flexibility. D. Smell serves as the only access to communication. 15. What might the researchers explore next? A. Ants’ smell classification. B. Ants’ aggressive interaction. C. Ants’ defensive response level. D. Ants’ smell adaptation mechanism. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了德国弗莱堡大学进化生物学家的一项新研究，发现蚂蚁不仅会对当下情况做出反应，还会记住与敌对蚂蚁的不良遭遇，并据此行动，同时研究人员还将进一步探究蚂蚁基于这些互动对嗅觉的适应能力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But new research from evolutionary biologists at Germany’s University of Freiburg indicates ants don’t just react in the moment — they preserve knowledge of hostile (敌对的) encounters with neighboring enemies, and act accordingly.(但德国弗莱堡大学进化生物学家的一项新研究表明，蚂蚁不仅会对当下的情况做出反应——它们会记住与邻近敌人的敌对遭遇，并据此采取行动。)”可知，研究发现，蚂蚁会记住与邻近敌人的敌对遭遇，并据此采取行动，由此可知，从这项新研究中我们可以了解到蚂蚁会依据过去的记忆采取行动。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, they placed ants into 60 second meet-and-greet situations: In one setting, the insects simply encountered some of their nestmates; another situation involved a group interacting with aggressive and hostile ants from other groups.(首先，他们让蚂蚁处于60秒的见面问候情境中：在一种情境下，这些蚂蚁只是遇到了一些自己巢穴的同伴；另一种情境则是一群蚂蚁与来自其他群体的具有攻击性和敌意的蚂蚁互动。)”可知，在实验设计的两种情境中，不同之处在于蚂蚁之间的关系，一种是同伴关系，另一种是与敌对蚂蚁的关系。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Volker Nehring, co-author of the study, said, "We often underestimate insect cognition (认知). Ants aren’t inflexibly programmed — they learn from interactions with others, and sense of smell plays a crucial role in the formation of both nestmate and non-nestmate recognition patterns.”(该研究的合著者沃尔克・内林说：“我们常常低估昆虫的认知能力。蚂蚁并不是被固定编程的 —— 它们从与其他蚂蚁的互动中学习，并且嗅觉在识别巢穴同伴和非巢穴同伴模式的形成中起着至关重要的作用。”)”可知，内林暗示蚂蚁是基于经验获得认知的，它们会从与其他蚂蚁的互动中学习，由此可知，蚂蚁的认知主要通过与其他蚂蚁的互动经历的积累。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Moving forward, the biologists hope to look into how much ants can adapt their sense of smell based on these interactions to see if the knowledge translates on an even deeper Level.(展望未来，生物学家们希望研究蚂蚁在这些互动的基础上能够在多大程度上适应它们的嗅觉，以观察这种认知是否能在更深层次上得以体现。)”可知，研究人员下一步希望探索蚂蚁如何根据这些互动调整嗅觉，并研究其认知是否能深入到更高层次，由此可知，研究人员接下来可能会探索蚂蚁的嗅觉适应机制。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每题 2.5 分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning from Experience While older generations sometimes appear a bit boring and old-fashioned, their accumulated wisdom offers practical solutions to modern challenges.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), inventor Cai Lun improved papermaking techniques, ____36____ (lead) to the invention of “paper hawks”, which resembled kites as we know them today. “Kites’ ____37____ (origin) reveal the remarkable creativity and ability of ancient Chinese ____38____ (explore) the mysteries of nature. They ____39____ (drive) by curiosity and a spirit of scientific exploration to understand and use the power of wind,” says Ma Zhiyao, a professor specializing in intangible cultural heritage. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the prosperity (繁荣) made paper more affordable, and kites ____40____ (true) became part of people’s lives. As kite-making techniques became more advanced, varieties ____41____ (decorate) with imagery were developed. “Kite making, among other intangible cultural heritage forms’ craftsmanship, tests whether the inheritors can persevere in dull work, ____42____ is a process of character-building,” Ma adds. From an item as modest as a kite, we can see Chinese people’s attachment ____43____ the cultural values associated with happiness, initiative and ____44____ (enthusiastic).

Inside, the cozy living room smelled of pine needles and cinnamon (肉桂皮). Twelve-year-old Sarah stood on a chair, carefully hanging handmade paper stars above the fireplace — a Christmas tradition her mother had started years ago. “Each star holds a wish, Mom used to say, her eyes twinkling as she lifted Sarah to place the highest one.” This year, Sarah’s wish was simple: Bake gingerbread cookies with Dad, just like before. Her father, a truck driver often away for days, had promised. No work on Christmas Eve! We’ll make a mess in the kitchen, just you and me, he’d declared two days ago, kissing her forehead before heading out. But now, heavy snow blurred the streetlights, and the clock ticked past 7 PM. Sarah’s phone buzzed—a text from Dad: “Traffic jam near Pineville. Home by 8! Don’t eat all the sprinkles (糖粉)!” She smiled, arranging cookie cutters in the shape of stars, trees, and reindeer. The recipe book, stained with chocolate from happier times, lay open on the table. By 8:30 PM, the storm roared louder. News reports warned of closed roads and accidents. Sarah called Dad repeatedly, but his phone rang unanswered. She hugged her knees by the fireplace, staring at the photo on the mantel (壁炉台): Mom laughing and flour dusting her nose as Dad pretended to bite a half-baked cookie. After Mom’s passing away last year, Christmas had felt hollow. “This year has to be different,” Sarah thought. Suddenly, a loud knock startled her. Through the frosted window, red and blue lights flashed—a police car! Sarah’s hands turned icy. “Was there an accident?” She stumbled to the door, her socks slipping on the wooden floor. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para.1 When she opened it, cold wind blew in. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2 That night, they baked cookies in the kitchen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Paragraph 1: When she opened it, cold wind blew in. There stood her father, his hair sparkling with snowflakes and a tired but warm smile lighting up his face. Beside him, a police officer held a large box. “Merry Christmas, my little star!” Dad cheered, pulling her into a bear hug. The officer explained how Dad had stopped to help dig out a family whose car was buried in snowdrifts. The box, Sarah discovered, was filled with cookies and thank-you notes from the family. But her breath caught when she spotted the white bandage wrapped around father’s reddened palm. “Don’t worry. It’s not serious,” father said. “Now, let’s go to the kitchen to make Christmas cookies”. 或Paragraph 1: When she opened it, cold wind blew in. Behind the police officer stood Dad, his coat covered with snowflakes. His face was red from the cold, but his eyes showed relief. “We found him stuck in deep snow,” the officer said. Sarah jumped into her father’s arms, her frozen fear melting into warm tears. Dad told her his truck couldn’t move in the heavy snow, and his phone had died after trying to call for help. “But I kept remembering our cookie promise,” he said softly, his voice shaking Then they thanked the policeman and went into the kitchen. Paragraph 2: That night, they baked cookies in the kitchen. Using Mom’s old recipe book, Dad read the steps aloud, pretending to forget them until Sarah giggled. They cut out star-shaped cookies with shaky edges and reindeer missing antlers. Flour covered the table and their clothes, but they didn’t care. When the cookies were ready, Dad placed one shaped like a star next to Mom’s photo on the mantel. Outside, the snow had stopped, and moonlight lit the quiet street. Sitting by the fire eating warm cookies, Sarah leaned against Dad’s shoulder. She realized her Christmas wish hadn’t been about perfect cookies — it was about Dad’s arms around her, making their broken world feel whole again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Sarah在母亲去世后的第一个圣诞节，期待与父亲一起制作姜饼人饼干的故事。父亲因暴风雪被困在路途中，Sarah从期待到担忧，最终警察将父亲安全送回，两人一起完成了圣诞烘焙，重拾家庭温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “当她打开门时，寒风呼啸而入。”可知，第一段可描写开门后 Sarah 看到警察身后平安归来的爸爸，爸爸向她解释被困原因，随后他们感谢警察并进入厨房。 ②由第二段首句内容 “那天晚上，他们在厨房里烤饼干。”可知，第二段可描写父女俩一起按照妈妈的旧食谱烤饼干，过程中充满欢乐，烤好后爸爸将饼干放在妈妈照片旁，Sarah 也意识到自己的圣诞愿望真正含义是家人的陪伴 。 2.续写线索：期待与爸爸烤饼干——爸爸因雪被困未归——看到警车惊慌——爸爸平安归来——一起烤饼干 ——领悟圣诞愿望真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳：jump/leap/spring ②拥抱：jump into one’s arms/hug sb. tightly/embrace sb. ③打电话求助：call for help/make a call for assistance/dial the number for support 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/fright/dread ②咯咯笑：giggle/chuckle 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Using Mom’s old recipe book, Dad read the steps aloud, pretending to forget them until Sarah giggled.（运用了until引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When the cookies were ready, Dad placed one shaped like a star next to Mom’s photo on the mantel. （运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 包九中外国语学校高二年级英语学科期中调研卷 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

B Kimberly Camp’s lively gallery in New Jersey is a treasure house of creativity, filled with a rich collection of artworks from around the world. Among the eye-catching displays are Camp’s own handmade dolls which bring every corner of the gallery to life with stories waiting to be discovered. Camp’s artistic journey kicked off when her mother once allowed her to pick out whatever crafts she wanted to try in the art store Zabar. She later pursued her passion by studying Studio Arts and Art History at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by a Master’s degree in Arts Administration. Though her later path wasn’t always smooth, Camp’s passion for art never faded. Her determination and talent paved the way for her remarkable career. As a doll maker, Kimberly Camp not only uses a diverse range of materials collected from across the globe to add the dolls’ unique charm but establishes a strong connection to African cultural heritage in her dolls. Her first dolls “Brown Babies” featured 32 traditional African dress designs, capturing people’s hearts with their cultural richness. Her breakthrough moment came in 1982 when her 55 Kwanzaa (宽扎节) dolls were sold out in just a few hours, pushing her into the spotlight. Soon after, she introduced “Kimkins”, a line of dolls dressed in traditional African fabrics, with distinctive hand-painted faces. At their pinnacle in 1985~1986, Camp produced 2,000 “Kimkins” annually. In fact, Camp’s dolls are more than toys but recognized as “soft sculptures” mirroring her personality and humor. Over years, her works have been shown in over 100 exhibitions across the U. S. and around the world. In 2020, Camp received the Award of Excellence: Craft Makes Us Human for her dolls. Today, Camp’s hands are never still. She continues to explore new artistic fields, fully absorbed in every moment of her art-filled life. 4. What inspired Kimberly Camp’s early interest in art? A. Her work in a gallery. B. Her visit to an art store. C. Her family background. D. Her university education. 5. What do we know about Kimberly Camp’s dolls? A. They reflect a new art form. B. They inspire more American artists. C. They are specially sold during Kwanzaa. D. They showcase traditional African elements. 6. What does the underlined word “pinnacle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Crisis. B. Exploration. C. Summit. D. Adventure. 7 Which of the following could be the best title for this text? A. Telling the History of Africa Through Dolls B. Weaving African Heritage into Soft Sculptures C. Kimberly Camp: Master of Arts Administration D. Kwanzaa Dolls: Bridging Generations with Tradition C In the age of AI, worries about its impact on the environment are snowballing. For example, asking ChatGPT a question uses ten times more energy than an old-fashioned search. The development of AI has also caused a big increase in greenhouse-gas emissions. Google’s emissions went up nearly 50% from 2019 to 2023. However, these concerns might be overstated. In fact, AI may be less energy-hungry than many people assume. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the electricity used by data centres could become three times as much within five years. But at present, the 1.5% of global electricity consumption related to data centres mainly comes from things like streaming, social media and online shopping. Moreover, some of AI’s electricity use will help with greening the economy. AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical grids (电网), cut fuel use in shipping and spot invisible leaks of greenhouse gas. Policymakers and industry leaders face the task of maximizing AI’s advantages while minimizing its climate effects. The best way would be for governments to set a proper price for carbon and let the market operate. But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream, focusing on other three measures are more down-to-earth. The first is more openness. Starting in August 2026, the EU will require some AI developers to report how much energy they use in detail. That approach should be copied elsewhere. A second is to rethink how data centers operate. The IEA notes that being able to shift workloads between different data centers at different times could reduce stress and help balance energy grids. Third, technology companies must keep their promises about protecting the environment instead of depending on buying renewable-energy credits. Doubling down on such approaches would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero. 8. What is the main concern about AI? A. Its inability to reduce emissions. B. Its impact on social development. C. Its shock on old-fashioned search. D. Its high-level energy consumption. 9. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A.

D It’s not just humans who have trouble making up — even ants aren’t quick to forgive, either. Ants rely heavily on their sense of smell to distinguish nestmates from outsiders. A familiar smell allows ants to know which nearby ants are there to help, and which may fight for the same resources. But new research from evolutionary biologists at Germany’s University of Freiburg indicates ants don’t just react in the moment — they preserve knowledge of hostile (敌对的) encounters with neighboring enemies, and act accordingly. Experiments were conducted to determine if ants remember bad experiences with other ants, and how it influences their relationships. First, they placed ants into 60 second meet-and-greet situations: In one setting, the insects simply encountered some of their nestmates; another situation involved a group interacting with aggressive and hostile ants from other groups. This was then repeated once for each group over five days. From there, scientists examined how the various ant groups subsequently reacted when they encountered the aggressive ants. Further analysis showed ants were more hostile towards ants that smelled of past bad encounters with other nests. They may spray formic acid (蚁酸) at one another. Volker Nehring, co-author of the study, said, "We often underestimate insect cognition (认知). Ants aren’t inflexibly programmed — they learn from interactions with others, and sense of smell plays a crucial role in the formation of both nestmate and non-nestmate recognition patterns.” Researchers also believe these results imply ants can classify smells for ants outside their colonies, which may help make defensive responses accordingly. Moving forward, the biologists hope to look into how much ants can adapt their sense of smell based on these interactions to see if the knowledge translates on an even deeper Level. 12. What can we learn from the new research? A. Ants act on past memories. B. Ants have common enemies. C. Ants locate food resources alone. D. Ants compete with each other for food. 13. How were the two settings different in experiment design? A. Species of ants. B. Duration of encounters. C. Number of repetitions. D. Relationship between ants. 14. What does Volker Nehring imply in paragraph 4? A. Ants have a fixed recognition pattern. B. Ants gain cognition based on experiences. C. Interactions depends on the degree of flexibility. D. Smell serves as the only access to communication. 15. What might the researchers explore next? A Ants’ smell classification. B. Ants’ aggressive interaction. C. Ants’ defensive response level. D. Ants’ smell adaptation mechanism. 第二节（共5小题；每题 2.5 分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning from Experience While older generations sometimes appear a bit boring and old-fashioned, their accumulated wisdom offers practical solutions to modern challenges.

Inside, the cozy living room smelled of pine needles and cinnamon (肉桂皮). Twelve-year-old Sarah stood on a chair, carefully hanging handmade paper stars above the fireplace — a Christmas tradition her mother had started years ago. “Each star holds a wish, Mom used to say, her eyes twinkling as she lifted Sarah to place the highest one.” This year Sarah’s wish was simple: Bake gingerbread cookies with Dad, just like before. Her father, a truck driver often away for days, had promised. No work on Christmas Eve! We’ll make a mess in the kitchen, just you and me, he’d declared two days ago, kissing her forehead before heading out. But now, heavy snow blurred the streetlights, and the clock ticked past 7 PM. Sarah’s phone buzzed—a text from Dad: “Traffic jam near Pineville. Home by 8! Don’t eat all the sprinkles (糖粉)!” She smiled, arranging cookie cutters in the shape of stars, trees, and reindeer. The recipe book, stained with chocolate from happier times, lay open on the table. By 8:30 PM, the storm roared louder. News reports warned of closed roads and accidents. Sarah called Dad repeatedly, but his phone rang unanswered. She hugged her knees by the fireplace, staring at the photo on the mantel (壁炉台): Mom laughing and flour dusting her nose as Dad pretended to bite a half-baked cookie. After Mom’s passing away last year, Christmas had felt hollow. “This year has to be different,” Sarah thought. Suddenly, a loud knock startled her. Through the frosted window, red and blue lights flashed—a police car! Sarah’s hands turned icy. “Was there an accident?” She stumbled to the door, her socks slipping on the wooden floor. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para.1 When she opened it, cold wind blew in. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2 That night, they baked cookies in the kitchen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
