And if an artist puts Al masterpieces up for sale,what should the price be?”可知，作者提及《蒙娜丽莎》是为 了通过原作与复制品的价值差异引出A虹作品因可大量生成、缺乏稀缺性而面临的价值定位难题，即呈现 A虹艺术在价值方面的潜在问题。 3l.B推理判断题。根据第四段中“AI art involves a program mimicking(模仿)the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human.But who made the artwork,the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright violation(侵犯版权)？Such questions complicate the merging of Al and the art industry”可知，AI艺术引发了“创作者归属”以及“是否侵犯原作者版权”等问题，这使得版权 问题变得更加复杂。 【高二第一学期期末考试·英语卷参考答案第1页（共4页）】 6195B 32.C段落大意题。根据第二段“‘Moss cultures have a much larger surface than any other plant,’Zhengliang Wu,co-founder of Green City Solutions,explained to CNN.That means we can capture more pollutants.' The entire'tree'sustains itself using solar panels that generate electricity so that it can collect rainwater itself.To monitor the health of the moss,the CityTree has sensors which measure temperature and water quality.”可知，第二段主要是关于CityTree是如何工作的。 33.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“However,.Gary Fuller,an expert on air pollution,thinks that the concept of an urban air purifier might be too ambitious.'Even if you had a perfect air cleaner,getting the surrounding air in contact with it is really hard,'he said.Pollution made by cars,for example,spreads upwards a few kilometers into the air.Efforts would be better put into stopping the pollution from forming in the first place,.’he added.”可知，加里·富勒对“城市树”持怀疑态度。 34.B细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are also testing a system to create their own air flow that draws the pollution to the‘tree'.”可知，CityTree的发明者可能会对结构进行改进。 35.D标题判断题。根据第一段“To fight this problem,four friends put their heads together and designed CityTree,which is a mobile structure that can capture as many pollutants as a forest made up of 275 trees. What makes the‘tree'special is that it's not a regular tree at all;it is made up of moss cultures(苔藓培养 物)that do a great job of absorption.”和下文可知，本文主要介绍了“城市树”可以改善空气污染，介绍了其 工作原理以及好处。D选项“具有森林绿色效益的‘树'。”最符合作为文章标题。 36.G根据上文提出的问题和下文给出的建议可知，G项（这并不是魔法一变得天生有趣实际上是一种你 可以练习并变得更擅长的技能。)承上启下，符合语境。 37.F根据下文“it does not necessarily mean that the people around you will.You need to know your audience before you can make them laugh!”"可知，F项（要知道你在和什么样的人交谈，什么能让他们发笑。）符合 语境。 38.E本段的主题是讲笑话是要注意时机，E项（在转向另一个话题之前，永远要给你的观众大笑的时间。）总 结上文，呼应本段主旨。 39.D根据上文“Telling well--recited jokes,.such as knock-knock jokes or inappropriate jokes,will turn people off to your sense of humor..”可知，D项（此外，讲电视上听到或网上发现的笑话似乎没有吸引力。）进一步谈 到不恰当的做法，符合语境。 4O.B根据下文“Audiences appreciate it when you make yourself the target of comedy..It will help them open up and they will find it easier to laugh at both you and themselves.”可知，B项（开自己的玩笑。）可以概括本 段内容。 4l.B根据上文“I had no choice but to walk home”可知，作者只能步行回家，因为所有的交通(traffic)因地震 都停止了。 42.B根据下文“an old lady at a bakery(烘焙店)giving out free bread'”可知，这是作者看到(saw)的。 43.D根据上文“an old lady at a bakery(烘焙店)giving out free bread''可知，老人的善行应是让作者感到温暖 (warm)。 44.D根据下文“He was opening his house for people to go to the toilet.”可知，这个人让人们免费使用卫生间 (bathroom)。 45.A根据下文“gas stations'”以及“we are only giving$30 worth of gas per person”可知，作者开车去加满 (filled up)油。 46.C下文“many gas stations were either closed'”提到很多加油站关闭了，推知没有足够的汽油(gas)。 47.C根据上文“many gas stations were either closed”以及下文“since I was behind fifteen cars'”可知，加油要 排很长的(long)队。 48.A根据下文“we are only giving$30 worth of gas per person.Is that all right?”可知，轮到(turn)作者加油 了 49.D根据上文“many gas stations were either closed”以及“Because of this situation,we are only giving$30 worth of gas per person..”可知，在汽油短缺的情况下每人只能加30美元的汽油，所以是大家共享(share)有 限的汽油。 50.B根据下文“after he dried the tears'”"可知，一个男人在人们给他送食物时哭了(crying)。 5l.C根据上文“when people brought food to him”可知，此处指把食物带到(brought)那里。 52.A根据下文“I am very53 that we are provided with food..”可知，接下来他说的话(words)让作者感到 惊讶。 53.D根据下文“we are provided with food”可知，地震后得到食物应是心存感激(grateful) 54.B根据上文“we are provided with food'和本句中表示转折的“But”可知，这里的人拿到了食物，但是这个 城市中靠近我们的人根本没有得到(received)任何食物。 55.A根据上文“But people in the city next to us'”以及“Please go to that center as well..”可知，这个城市(city) 的另一侧有一个光明的未来。 【高二第一学期期末考试·英语卷参考答案第2页（共4页）】 6195B 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.languages考查名词复数。根据上文among the largest可知，空处应填名词复数形式。 57.its考查代词。此处应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词fomm,故填its。 58.called考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处应作定语修饰The Chinese characters today,因主语与 call之间为被动关系，因此填called。 59.which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句修饰characters,并在定语从 句中充当介词of的宾语，故用关系代词which。. 60.northern考查形容词。空处修饰名词China,故填northern。 6l.is based考查时态和语态。在定语从句中which指代先行词Standard Mandarin,在从句中作主语，和base 之间是被动关系，且此处叙述的是客观情况，故用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is based。 62.to learn考查非谓语动词。have a tendency to do为固定搭配，意为“偏好做”。 63.of考查介词。be aware of sth.为固定搭配，意为“意识到某事”。 64.gradually考查副词。空处修饰动词becoming,因此用其副词形式。 65.a考查冠词。tool为单数可数名词，此处表示泛指，且空后的necessary的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。 应用文写作（满分15分） 参考范文 Recently,the students in our class have held a heated debate on whether the government should exploit a cultural relic in our city. Some students were in favor of the idea.They thought the cultural relic is worth exploiting.Because it will make people learn more about history.What's more,it can attract more visitors to our city,which will boost tourism.However,others thought that we should keep it as it is and preserve it properly.Only in this way can it not be destroyed. Since no agreement was reached,we finally decided to ask experts for advice to find a better way to make good use of this relic. 读后续写（满分25分） 参考范文 The next day was Wednesday,and Meg decided to go and see Mrs Hillary early.She needed to explain to Mrs Hillary why she couldn't hand in her test paper."Mrs Hillary,I'm sorry.My mom threw my test paper away because she thought it to be trash."Mrs Hillary looked up,smilingly,"Meg,you know what?It's a miracle.I picked up your test paper.Certainly it wasn't found outside your home.It was under your desk that I found it.Perhaps you dropped it by accident yesterday. Mrs Hillary didn't blame()Meg,just telling her to be careful next time.Meg felt a little relaxed and walked back to the class.Although she felt bad for lying,she still felt glad that Mrs Hillary gave her another chance.The teacher was kind enough not to make a fuss of it.But on that day,Meg promised herself to be more careful and the most important thing for her to remember is to try to never,never lie again. 附听力材料 (Text 1) M:We will go to the zoo.There are many lovely animals.

The man,Bob,was alone when he left his farmhouse on New'Year's Eve to collect firewood.Expecting a journey of only several meters,Bob was wearing just long johns 【高二第一学期期末考试·英语卷第3页（共8页）】 6195B (),a shirt and slippers when he went outside,although the temperature was around -4 'C. After the accident,he was unable to move in the snow.Fortunately,Kelsey came to his assistance.

Kelsey's companion kept him warm by lying on top of him.She licked his face and hands tokeep him awake."Kelsey kept barking but never left my side,"Bob recalled."I knew I couldn't give up and that it was my choice to stay alive. Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold.When he finally lost consciousness,his dog kept barking.Finally,hearing the barking,Bob's neighbor discovered him at 6:30 p.m.on New Year's Day and called the emergency services at once.When Bob arrived in hospital,his body temperature was below 21'C.However,doctors were surprised to find that he didn't have any frostbite().They believed it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep him warm.

C As artificinl intelligence(AI)art generators take the world.by storm,some people.wonder if the works from Al art generators should count as art.The technology is still developing and has some problems to iron out,which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good AI can produce. Art is classed as the product of imagination,skill,experience,and emotion,usually meant to represent'something for the public to enjoy.Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works.Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data,linking someone's prompt to datasets,and trying to represent it as best as possible.The difference is that the Al is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to.express itself. AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard.But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual 【高二第一学期期末考试·英语卷第4页（共8页）】 6195B ▣▣ CS 扫描全能王创建 L.connrdo dn Vinci's painting.Why?Scarcity-there's only one of the original.Should anyone pay for these things?And if nn artist puts Al masterpieces up for sale,what should the price be? Al art involves a program mimicking()the work of existing artists to create a new picce according to the request of a human.But who made the artwork,the machine'or its uscr？And can the original artists sue for copyright violation(侵a犯版权)？Such questions complicate the merging of AI and the art industry,while fueling arguments against recognizing Al-generated art as marketable artistic products. Once we've answered those questions,we can solve the really big one:When an Al- generated pointing wins an award,who gets the prize? 28.What does the underlined word "flaws"in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Benefits. B.Advances. C.Weaknesses. D.Rules. 29.How is Al art different from human art? A.It is the product of experience. B.It costs less money to produce. C It combines different styles of works.

B.To present the potential trouble with the value of Al art. C.To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists. D.To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces. 31 What can we infer from paragraph 4? A.Al art promotes the sale of artistic products. B.AI art makes copyright issues more complicated. C.Artists can create more works with the help of Al. D.There will be less competition in the art industry. D Air pollution is among the biggest threats against humans,which causes seven million early deaths a year.To fight this problem,four friends put their heads together and designed CityTree,which is a mobile structure that can capture as many pollutants as a forest made up of 275 trees.What makes the "tree"special is that it's not a regular tree at all;it is made up of moss cultures(苔藓培养物)that do a great job of absorption. "Moss cultures have a much larger surface than any other plant,"Zhengliang Wu,co- founder of Green City Solutions,explnined to CNN."That means we can capture more pollutants."The entire"tree"sustains itself using solar panels that generate electricity so that it can collect rainwater itself.To monitor the health of the moss,the CityTree has sensors which measure temperature and water quality. Now,about 20 CityTrees can be found in major cities like Oslo and Paris.The team'also has plans to introduce the CityTree to cities in lower-income countries,which may have worse air pollution.However,Gary Fuller,an expert on air pollution,thinks that the concept of an urban air purifier might be too ambitious."Even if you had a perfect air cleaner,getting the surrounding air in contact with it is really hard,"he said.Pollution made by cars,for example,spreads upwards a few kilometers into the air."Efforts would be better put into stopping the pollution from forming in the first place,"he added. 【高二第一学期期末考试·英语卷第5页（共8页）】 6195B In response,the CityTrce inventors say that they realize this and choose the location of each CityTree carefully.They are also testing a system to create their own air flow that draws the pollution to the "tree". 32.What is paragraph 2 mninly about concerning the CityTree? A.Its look. B.Its operating process. C.How it works. D.How it gets powered. 33.What is Gary Fuller's attitude to the CityTree? A.Doubtful. B.Intolerant.C.Worried. D.Unclear. 34.What will the CityTree inventors probably do? A.Develop a new type of air cleaner. B.Make improvements to the structure. C.Redirect efforts to make greener cars.
