Kathrine Switzer was the only registered woman in the race. She had used the name “K. V. Switzer” to hide her gender because, at that time, females were widely believed to be physically incapable of running such a long distance. The first few miles felt like a piece of cake. Her brief sense of freedom, however, was almost destroyed when race director Jock Semple, his face red with fury, suddenly charged at her. “Get out of this race and give me those numbers!” he yelled, lunging to rip the race numbers from her sweatshirt. Although her boyfriend, who was running with her, managed to push the director away, the public shame left her deeply upset. For a moment, the thought of dropping out came into her mind. However, a more profound realization then took hold, and she understood that quitting was not an option. “If I quit,” she thought, “I will prove him right. Nobody will ever believe that women have the capability to run 26 miles or more. More importantly, if I quit, it will set women’s sports back instead of moving it forward…” Fueled by this new determination, the rest of the race became a different kind of battle. She struggled against not only the freezing rain that chilled her to the bone but also the burning pain in her legs and the haunting memory of the attack. After 4 hours and 20 minutes of painful effort, she crossed the finish line, greeted not by cheers but by the curious stares of a few reporters. The race was over, but her pursuit of change was just beginning. Her determined finish that day became a primary force in helping get women officially accepted into the Boston Marathon in 1972 and paving the way for the women’s marathon in the Olympic Games. Her number 261 has since become a symbol of fearlessness for women worldwide. 14. What did Kathrine hope to achieve in the 71st Boston Marathon? A. Being a registered runner. B. Proving women’s athletic ability. C. Acting as a coach to her friend. D. Providing service as a volunteer. 15. Why did Jock Semple chase Kathrine? A. To follow her pace. B. To defeat her in the race. C. To force her to quit. D. To protect her from others. 16. What is mainly discussed about Kathrine in the last paragraph? A. Her leadership. B. Her ambition. C. Her popularity. D. Her influence. 17. What is the author’s attitude towards Kathrine Switzer’s run in the 1967 Boston Marathon? A. Admiring. B. Ambiguous. C. Indifferent. D. Skeptical. 【答案】14. B 15. C 16. D 17.

Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution. This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters. The proposed city is a wonder of modern design. Structurally, each 25-acre unit houses up to 50,000 residents, with its buildings kept at a height of under 90 meters for stability. Using seawater-resistant materials, these structures are also designed to be flexible, much like bamboo, to resist waves. Energy-wise, the project plans to use a mix of renewable energy sources, getting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators. The project also offers significant environmental advantages. A 2023 study by the Marine Future Institute suggests that, compared to building artificial islands, this floating method protects up to 68% more of the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, its closed-loop system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 90%compared to a land-based city of a similar size. However, despite these benefits, significant challenges remain. Financially, the initial construction cost is estimated to be 30% higher than traditional land-based developments. Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually. Moreover, comprehensive emergency plans for events such as tsunamis are still in development. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts,” notes designer Tim Fu, “but evolving with them.” While its long-term success is still debated, the design redefines urban strength under challenging situations. Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci concludes. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning a threat into a sustainable opportunity. 18. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters. C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities. 19. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A. Adaptable and innovative. B. Fictional and renewable. C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional. 20. A major limitation of the Floating City project is that ______. A. its carbon emissions are higher than land-based cities B. it negatively impacts marine life more than artificial islands C. its structures require regular repair due to seawater exposure D. its emergency planning for tsunamis is fully completed 21. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat. B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities. C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions. D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 21. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Luca Curci建筑事务所为应对海平面上升带来的沿海灾害威胁，提出的“漂浮城市”设计方案，阐述了该设计的结构特点、环保优势，同时分析了其面临的挑战，并点明该设计体现的与自然和谐共生的城市建设理念。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution.(面对两大主要威胁：持续的海平面上升，以及到2070年亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人可能面临年度洪水的预测，Luca Curci建筑事务所提出了‘漂浮城市’这一开创性的解决方案。)”可知，潜在的灾害促使该事务所推出新设计。故选B。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters.(该设计使城市区域能够适应不断上升的水位，直接应对这些日益严重的灾害。)”以及第二段“A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators.(其关键创新点在于安全系统：极端天气下，平台能借鉴鱼群躲避捕食者的方式自动分离并重新组合。)”可知，该设计兼具适应性与创新性。故选A。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually.(在技术层面，持续暴露在海水中会损坏材料，研究表明平台表面每年可能有高达15%的部分需要维修。)”可知，该项目的一大局限是结构因受海水侵蚀需定期维修。故选C。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution.(面对两大主要威胁：持续的海平面上升，以及到2070年亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人可能面临年度洪水的预测，Luca Curci建筑事务所提出了‘漂浮城市’这一开创性的解决方案。)”以及第五段“Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. ‘Cities must learn to dance with the waves,’ Curci concludes.(与对抗自然的刚性海堤不同，这些动态结构旨在与海洋节奏和谐共生。Curci总结道：‘城市必须学会与海浪共舞。’)”可知，文章核心是介绍随潮汐发展的漂浮城市设计。B“随潮而起：漂浮的城市。”符合主题，适合用作标题，故选B。 D Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology. This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits. The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers. The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies. A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own. Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them. 22. What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2? A. Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI. B. Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems. C. Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users. D. Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people. 23. The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______. A. users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored B. users’ participation matters in designing technologies C. users’ advice hinders the development of technologies D. users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies 24. What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limitation. B. Creation. C. Adaptation. D. Communication. 25. The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______. A. technology can independently interact with disabled people B. technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality C. technology can help people communicate effectively D. technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people 【答案】22. D 23. B 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了生成式人工智能驱动的人形机器人在助力残障人士生活方面的潜力，分析了当前技术与实际需求之间存在的差距及成因，并提出将包容性融入设计流程、让残障群体参与技术开发的解决方案，还以Euphonia项目为例佐证该方案的有效性，最终指出技术设计应从“为残障人士设计”转向“与他们共同设计”。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A 2023 study by the ‘AI for Accessibility’ Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users.(‘无障碍人工智能’研究所2023年的一项研究显示，39%的残障用户因技术无法理解他们而感到恼火，而非残障用户的这一比例为28%。)”以及“Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs.(近一半的残障用户还表示，他们必须改变自身行为才能使用设备，而非让设备适应自己的需求。)”可知，生成式人工智能对残障用户而言不够人性化。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, ‘Nothing about us without us,’ must become a guiding principle for developers.(许多人工智能技术的设计没有其目标服务群体的直接参与。为纠正这一点，残障群体的口号‘没有我们的参与，就没有关于我们的决策’必须成为开发者的指导原则。)”可知，作者引用该口号是为了强调用户参与在技术设计中的重要性。故选B。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification.(这种方法从一开始就将无障碍性视为核心要求，而非事后的modification。)”可知，modification译为“修改、调整”，与adaptation含义相近。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies.(在实践中，这就要求在开发和测试新技术时，让残障人士参与进来，分享他们的经历和见解。)”以及第五段“A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands.(名为Euphonia的项目就是一个清晰的例子。它旨在改善有语言障碍用户的语音识别效果。由于该人工智能接受了大量非典型语音模式人群的数据训练，因此能准确解读他们的指令。)”可知，作者举该例子是为了说明技术能够为残障人士实现包容性设计。故选D。 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。 When it comes to gift-giving, many people tend to give material possessions like clothing, electronics, or other items. ____26____ As it turns out, personalized experience gift ideas can have a lasting positive impact on the receiver. One of the biggest benefits of giving experiences as gifts is that they often create lasting memories that can be cherished for a lifetime. Whether it’s a concert ticket, a cooking class, or a weekend getaway, experiences allow people to create new memories and bond with one another in a meaningful way. These memories can often be more valuable and enduring than physical possessions. ____27____ Experiences also have the power to strengthen relationships. When you give someone an experience as a gift, you are creating an opportunity for the receiver to spend quality time with you and create new memories together. ____28____ This can help deepen your bond and create a closer connection between you and your loved one. In addition, experiences can be a great way to show your loved ones that you truly care about them. ____29____ It means you’ve taken the time to think about what they would truly enjoy and appreciate. This level of personalization can make the gift feel even more special and meaningful. ____30____ In a world where we are increasingly concerned about our impact on the environment, giving experiences as gifts can be a more sustainable choice. Experiences often involve activities like dining out, attending events, or taking a class, which create fewer carbon emissions and require fewer resources than the production and transportation of physical goods. A. All these are priceless gifts. B. Thus, they make special gifts. C. You show this by choosing gifts that match their hobbies. D. Moreover, experiences become a popular environmental trend. E. Or rather, you are giving them the gift of your time and attention. F. However, in this material-abundant world, experience gifts stand out. G.

People were busy in my home. The living room, transformed into a sort of workshop, was piled with boxes, wrapping paper, and some colorful ribbons (缎带). At the center of it all was my mother, Lee-Ann. Every year, Lee-Ann organized a Christmas charity drive, collecting donations, gifts, and food hampers (食品篮) for families in need within our community. It was a tradition she had started when I was just a toddler, fueled by her belief that everyone deserved to experience the joy and warmth of life, regardless of their circumstances. “But, Mom, do you think we can manage? I mean, it’s amazing what you’re doing, but it’s a lot of work, and...” I asked. She stopped wrapping and looked up at me, her gaze firm yet gentle. “Mark, do you know why I do this every year?” she asked. I shook my head, realizing I had never really known her motivations. “Because,” she continued, “giving brings us together. It reminds us that we’re all part of a bigger family. And if we can make even a small difference in someone’s life, then all the effort is worth it.” Moved by her words, I nodded, understanding for the first time the depth of her commitment. The days that followed were a lot of activities. Our family, along with a group of volunteers drawn in by my mother’s infectious enthusiasm, worked tirelessly. We wrapped gifts, packed food hampers, and arranged deliveries. My mother was everywhere at once, encouraging, and spreading cheer. On Christmas Eve, as we loaded the last of the hampers into the van, my mother turned to me and said, “ Ready for the final round?” 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文1： I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” As we made our rounds, delivering hampers and seeing the joy on the faces of those we helped, I felt a profound connection to the community and to my mother’s mission. Each “thank you” and every smile was a reminder of the impact of her work. Later that evening, as we sat around our own Christmas tree, my mother wrapped an arm around me. “Thank you, Mark,” she said. “For being my right-hand man.” “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” She laughed softly. “Maybe, but every superhero needs a team. And I’ve got the best one.” That year, like every year, my mother, Lee-Ann, showed us the true meaning of giving and the power of compassion. She taught us that by coming together to support one another, we could create ripples of kindness that would extend far and wide. I was grateful to her. In my eyes, and in the eyes of our community, she was, and always will be, a superhero. 例文2： I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” With that, we set off on our journey to distribute the gifts and food hampers to the families in need within our community. The air was crisp with the chill of winter, but it did nothing to dampen our spirits. Each family we visited was overwhelmed with gratitude, their eyes lighting up as they received the much-needed supplies. At one stop, after helping a single mother and her children unpack the hamper, my mother placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and said, “You know, you’re a hero today.” “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” My mother’s dedication to this charity drive went beyond mere organization and planning. It was a testament to her belief in the power of giving and the importance of community. As we completed our deliveries and returned home, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for having a mother who taught me the true meaning of Christmas—not just the presents and decorations, but the joy of giving and the warmth of being part of a larger family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者母亲每年组织圣诞慈善活动，为社区中有需要的家庭收集捐款、礼物和食品篮的传统。作者起初对这项工作的艰巨性表示担忧，但在母亲的话语激励下，作者开始理解并投入到这项工作中。在圣诞节前夕，作者与母亲一同完成最后一轮物资派送，深刻体会到了这项工作的意义。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我微笑着，心中充满了自豪感和使命感。”可知，第一段可描写作者和母亲一起进行最后一轮物资派送，看到受助者的笑脸，感受到与社区和母亲使命的深刻联系，以及母亲对作者的感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容““但是妈妈，”我回答，“你才是这里真正的超级英雄。””可知，第二段可描写作者对母亲的赞美，以及母亲对团队合作重要性的认识。 2.续写线索：派送物资——看到笑脸——感谢母亲——赞美母亲——母亲教我们认识到给与和团队合作的重要意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①派送：deliver/distribute/hand out ②拥抱：wrapp an arm around me/hug me /give me a hug ③轻声笑：laugh softly/smile gently/chuckle 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②感激：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we made our rounds, delivering hampers and seeing the joy on the faces of those we helped, I felt a profound connection to the community and to my mother’s mission.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] She taught us that by coming together to support one another, we could create ripples of kindness that would extend far and wide.（运用了that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 深圳实验学校高中园2024-2025学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语 第一卷 第一部分 单项选择（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 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。 1.

Kathrine Switzer was the only registered woman in the race. She had used the name “K. V. Switzer” to hide her gender because, at that time, females were widely believed to be physically incapable of running such a long distance. The first few miles felt like a piece of cake. Her brief sense of freedom, however, was almost destroyed when race director Jock Semple, his face red with fury, suddenly charged at her. “Get out of this race and give me those numbers!” he yelled, lunging to rip the race numbers from her sweatshirt. Although her boyfriend, who was running with her, managed to push the director away, the public shame left her deeply upset. For a moment, the thought of dropping out came into her mind. However, a more profound realization then took hold, and she understood that quitting was not an option. “If I quit,” she thought, “I will prove him right. Nobody will ever believe that women have the capability to run 26 miles or more. More importantly, if I quit, it will set women’s sports back instead of moving it forward…” Fueled by this new determination, the rest of the race became a different kind of battle. She struggled against not only the freezing rain that chilled her to the bone but also the burning pain in her legs and the haunting memory of the attack. After 4 hours and 20 minutes of painful effort, she crossed the finish line, greeted not by cheers but by the curious stares of a few reporters. The race was over, but her pursuit of change was just beginning. Her determined finish that day became a primary force in helping get women officially accepted into the Boston Marathon in 1972 and paving the way for the women’s marathon in the Olympic Games. Her number 261 has since become a symbol of fearlessness for women worldwide. 14. What did Kathrine hope to achieve in the 71st Boston Marathon? A. Being a registered runner. B. Proving women’s athletic ability. C. Acting as a coach to her friend. D. Providing service as a volunteer. 15. Why did Jock Semple chase Kathrine? A. To follow her pace. B. To defeat her in the race. C. To force her to quit. D. To protect her from others. 16. What is mainly discussed about Kathrine in the last paragraph? A. Her leadership. B. Her ambition. C. Her popularity. D. Her influence. 17. What is the author’s attitude towards Kathrine Switzer’s run in the 1967 Boston Marathon? A Admiring. B. Ambiguous. C. Indifferent. D. Skeptical. C Global sea levels continue to rise, posing a significant threat to coastal populations worldwide. Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution. This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters. The proposed city is a wonder of modern design. Structurally, each 25-acre unit houses up to 50,000 residents, with its buildings kept at a height of under 90 meters for stability. Using seawater-resistant materials, these structures are also designed to be flexible, much like bamboo, to resist waves. Energy-wise, the project plans to use a mix of renewable energy sources, getting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators. The project also offers significant environmental advantages. A 2023 study by the Marine Future Institute suggests that compared to building artificial islands, this floating method protects up to 68% more of the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, its closed-loop system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 90%compared to a land-based city of a similar size. However, despite these benefits, significant challenges remain. Financially, the initial construction cost is estimated to be 30% higher than traditional land-based developments. Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually. Moreover, comprehensive emergency plans for events such as tsunamis are still in development. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts,” notes designer Tim Fu, “but evolving with them.” While its long-term success is still debated, the design redefines urban strength under challenging situations. Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci concludes. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning a threat into a sustainable opportunity. 18. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters. C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities. 19. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A. Adaptable and innovative. B. Fictional and renewable. C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional. 20. A major limitation of the Floating City project is that ______. A. its carbon emissions are higher than land-based cities B. it negatively impacts marine life more than artificial islands C. its structures require regular repair due to seawater exposure D. its emergency planning for tsunamis is fully completed 21. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat. B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities. C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions. D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo. D Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology. This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits. The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers. The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies. A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own. Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them. 22. What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2? A. Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI. B. Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems. C. Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users. D. Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people. 23. The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______. A. users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored B. users’ participation matters in designing technologies C. users’ advice hinders the development of technologies D. users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies 24. What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limitation. B. Creation. C. Adaptation. D. Communication. 25. The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______. A. technology can independently interact with disabled people B. technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality C. technology can help people communicate effectively D. technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people 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。 When it comes to gift-giving, many people tend to give material possessions like clothing, electronics, or other items. ____26____ As it turns out, personalized experience gift ideas can have a lasting positive impact on the receiver. One of the biggest benefits of giving experiences as gifts is that they often create lasting memories that can be cherished for a lifetime.

In addition, experiences can be a great way to show your loved ones that you truly care about them. ____29____ It means you’ve taken the time to think about what they would truly enjoy and appreciate. This level of personalization can make the gift feel even more special and meaningful. ____30____ In a world where we are increasingly concerned about our impact on the environment, giving experiences as gifts can be a more sustainable choice. Experiences often involve activities like dining out, attending events, or taking a class, which create fewer carbon emissions and require fewer resources than the production and transportation of physical goods. A. All these are priceless gifts. B. Thus, they make special gifts. C. You show this by choosing gifts that match their hobbies. D. Moreover, experiences become a popular environmental trend. E.

People were busy in my home. The living room, transformed into a sort of workshop, was piled with boxes, wrapping paper, and some colorful ribbons (缎带). At the center of it all was my mother, Lee-Ann. Every year, Lee-Ann organized a Christmas charity drive, collecting donations, gifts, and food hampers (食品篮) for families in need within our community. It was a tradition she had started when I was just a toddler, fueled by her belief that everyone deserved to experience the joy and warmth of life, regardless of their circumstances. “But, Mom, do you think we can manage? I mean, it’s amazing what you’re doing, but it’s a lot of work, and...” I asked. She stopped wrapping and looked up at me, her gaze firm yet gentle. “Mark, do you know why I do this every year?” she asked. I shook my head, realizing I had never really known her motivations. “Because,” she continued, “giving brings us together. It reminds us that we’re all part of a bigger family. And if we can make even a small difference in someone’s life, then all the effort is worth it.” Moved by her words, I nodded, understanding for the first time the depth of her commitment. The days that followed were a lot of activities. Our family, along with a group of volunteers drawn in by my mother’s infectious enthusiasm, worked tirelessly. We wrapped gifts, packed food hampers, and arranged deliveries. My mother was everywhere at once, encouraging, and spreading cheer. On Christmas Eve, as we loaded the last of the hampers into the van, my mother turned to me and said, “ Ready for the final round?” 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
