As a kid,Vanderlinde wanted to be a forest ranger ()At 19 years old, Vanderlinde was offered his first summer job in forestry at a fire lookout and realised his childhood dream.Years later,Vanderlinde's retirement led him back to where it all started:working at a fire lookout. The Sinkut lookout was built in 1927.British Columbia used to have 300 active lookouts across the province.Because of technological advancements,active fire lookouts are disappearing.The Sinkut lookout's location makes it the only regularly staffed lookout in British Columbia.And Vanderlinde becomes one of the last local regular fire watchers. 高三英语第4页（共11页） Vanderlinde's life on the lookout during fire season typically runs 14 days at a time.During that firc-watching fortnight,Vanderlinde will leave his home in downtown,and work and live at the lookout.From 8 a.m.to 8 p.m.,Vanderlinde scans as far as 80 to 90 kilometres across forests and lakes in cach dircction.The weather docsn't carc much for these hours,and the job can extend around the clock! Vanderlinde doesn't mind though."I just like bcing outdoors. "Onc night several years ago,all of a sudden,I smelt the ozonc ().recalls Vanderlinde.Knowing lightning produces ozonc,he quickly looked around and saw a flash from the corner of his cye as the lower part of Sinkut Mountain was struck by lightning during a storm.In no time,he worked out the exact location of the fire and relayed that information to the wildfire service. Last season marked Vanderlinde's cighth scason working at the Sinkut lookout into his retirement."There is nobody else out there doing the job.It gets..not lonely,but lonely in the fact that there is nobody to relate to,"he says. On the sccond-floor work desk,next to an old-school radio,sits a Bluetooth speaker,which sings Vanderlinde's favourite folk song: Day after day Alone on a hill The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still. 24.What makes the Sinkut fire lookout special?

C A chatbot might not brcak a sweat every time you ask it to make your shopping list or tell jokes.But over time,the planet might.Last June,OpenAI CEO claimed that an“average”ChatGPT query(搜宋指今)uses energy equal to“about what an oven(烤箱)would use in a little over one second”. What makes large language models (LLMs)so energy-hungry?LLMs are described by the number of parameters,which are the internal-controls the model adjusts during training to improve its performance.The more parameters,the more capacity the model has to learn patterns and relationships in data.GPT-4,for example,is said to have over a trillion parameters.LLMs are operated in massive data centers located across the world,where they are loaded on servers containing powerful chips handling computations.The larger a model is,generally the more chips are needed to run it-especially to get users the fastest response possible.All of this takes energy. The high energy use tied to LLMs isn't just a broad data center issue,though. During training,a model digests vast datasets and adjusts its internal parameters accordingly.This can take weeks.burning an enormous amount of energy.The second half of the model's life cycle is inference,which happens every time a user prompts the model.Over time,inference is expected to account for the majority of a model's emissions.Reasoning models,which explain their thinking step by step, consume far more energy than standard models,which directly output the answer. Machine learning research has been driven by accuracy and performance,and the exact figure of energy consumption is difficult to obtain.Major players including OpenAl have the data,for instance,their training methods-what data they used, how much compute time or what kind of energy powered it,but they're not sharing them.Researchers can only piece together limited clues from open-source LLMs. Inference,too,is difficult to quantify.The environmental impact of a single query can vary dramatically depending on which data center it's routed to,which energy network powers the data center and even the time of day.Ultimately,only the companies running these models have a complete picture-the emissions from this process are largely a black box. 高三英语第6页（共11页） While expcrts continue to work on secking methods to measure the cnergy consumption of LLMs,everyday people don't need to wait.Choosing the right model for each task makes a difference.For easy questions,skip large reasoning models. Even the way you phrasc your qucries matters-there s no need to be polite to the chatbot.It costs millions of cxtra dollars becausc of "thank you"and "please".The fix isn't to abandon Al.but to usc it more intelligently. 28.Why docs the author quote OpenAI CEO's words? A.To question a belicf. B.To clarify a concept. C.To highlight a concern. D.To present a finding. 29.What can we infer from this passnge? A.The shadiness of data restricts Al's better performance. B.The actual energy impact of LLMs remains largely unclear. C.Tackling environmental issues facilitates breakthroughs in Al. D.The environmental responsibility for LLMs is shifted to users. 30.As for LLMs,which would the author agree with? A.Their operation should be less energy-intensive than the training. B.Their rising dominance relies on their thinking capabilities. C.Their wide application calls for administrative regulation. D.Their reasoning function needs to be employed properly. D Imagine a world where the whispers of an ancient forest.the call of a rare bird, or the secrets of hidden medicinal plants could disappear forever-not because the species themselves disappear,but because the words describing them fade from memory.Every time an endangered language dies,we risk losing not just words. Languages do far more than help people communicate;they serve as living libraries of local knowledge.Local languages sometimes classify species in ways that Western science overlooks.For instance,the Seri people of Mexico use different words for loggerhead turtles depending on their age,size,and nesting status- information vital for conservation.These minute classifications often reflect ecological relationships invisible to outsiders. Meanwhile,the world's hotspots of language diversity often correspond with areas of high biodiversity.Places like Papua New Guinea,the Congo Basin,and the Amazon host not only an explosion of species but also an astonishing range of languages.This doesn't happen accidentally.Communities that have lived in harmony with their ecosystems for thousands of years have developed languages that reflect and reinforce this unique relationship.In some cases,a single word in a local 高三英语第7页（共11页） language might describe a plant's life cycle,its uses,and even its relationship to other species-information that could take years for scientists to document.As a result,the extinction of a language can erase the memory of local species,which in turn accelerates (the loss of these species,creating a domino effect that endangers entire ecosystems. Many endangered languages contain practical wisdom gathered through centuries of observation and experimentation,including details about medicinal plants, sustainable hunting methods,and effective ways to manage water,soil,and forests. It's often passed down orally,through stories or songs,using words that don't translate easily.For instance,the Yupik people of Alaska have complicated vocabulary for ice conditions,crucial for survival in a severe climate.When such knowledge is lost,communities and researchers alike lose invaluable insights into how to live sustainably in difficult environments. The disappearance of endangered languages isn't just a scientific emergency-it's also a cultural tragedy.Language is a core part of human identity,shaping how people see themselves and their place in the world.For many,the words used to describe a river,a forest,or a bird are integrated into their sense of belonging and responsibility.Losing a language can feel like losing a part of oneself. Each lost language is a closed book,locking away recipes for survival,hidden wonders of evolution,and blueprints for living in balance with nature.As the world faces serious ecological crises,the wisdom in these languages could be our most valuable resource.Isn't it time.to listen before it's too late? 31.The underlined word "minute"in Paragraph 2 probably means A.fine B.simple C.flexible D.random 32.It is implied in the passage that endangered languages A.may document the decline of survival means B.might reveal conflicts among species C.can influence human self-perception D.will die out faster than expected 33.What is the purpose of the passage? A.To challenge an assumption. B.To defend an argument. C.To seek a solution. D.To deliver a warning. 34.Which is the best title for the passage? A.Who Turns the Tide of Civilization B.Why Fading Voices Hold the Key C.What Hidden Wonders Whisper D.Where Old Stories Lead Us 高三英语第8页（共11页） 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂照。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We usc our imagination in many ways.Novelists rely on it to dream up plots. characters and scencs.Artists use it to produce new works.35 For adults, however,one of the most common uses of imagination is counterfactual thinking. Do you often find yourself lost in deep thoughts about what could have been? Imagining alternatives,different outcomes and reflecting on your choices?If so,then you've engaged in the cognitive process called counterfactual thinking.a psychological exercise that enables us to imagine "what if".situations and explore how different choices or circumstances might lead to different results.36 Following it,we can see how things would have been if something else had been changed. Counterfactual thinking can be a powerful tool for behavior regulation.For example,Sam applied for a job but wasn't given an opportunity.In this case,he thought "If I had prepared more thoroughly,could I have impressed the interviewer enough for him to hire me?"Sam might understand some of the factors that contributed to his job application outcome and do better next time.37 By imagining alternative scenarios (and reflecting on our actions,we can identify mistakes,learn from them,and adjust our behavior for the future. 38 When taken to extremes,counterfactual thinking can lead to endless regret.We've all been there-lying awake at night,replaying embarrassing moments or missed opportunities,torturing ourselves with "what ifs".This kind of excessive counterfactual thinking can be a typical feature of overthinking,and it can have serious negative impacts on our mental health and well-being.39 This way,we can use it constructively without falling into an unproductive thought cycle. A.It is like rewriting history mentally. B.Considering the "what if"question clearly offers benefits C.Yet letting your imagination run wild isn't always productive. D.Children entertain themselves by creating fantastical worlds in their minds E.However,it can sometimes lead us to get lost in our counterfactual thinking. F.The process of thinking will make us think about problems and improve creativity. G.We should find a balance between learning from the past and accepting what cannot be undone. 高三英语第9页（共11页） 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40、41题各2分，第2题3分，第43题5分·共12分） 阅读下而短文、根据随目要求用英文回答问题。计在答题卡指定区域作答。 History is full of storics suggesting that scientific breakthroughs happen suddenly,in a flash of inspiration.Perhaps the most famous of these concerns Isaac Newton,a physicist,who was supposedly sitting under a tree in his mother's garden when an apple fell on his head.Thanks to this,Newton came up with his theory of gravity. Nearly two thousand years carlicr,the mathematician and physicist Archimedes was struggling with a problem that nobody could find the answer to-how to accurately measure the volume of an object.When he noticed the water in his bathtub rising as he got in,the solution came to him."Eureka!"he reportedly proclaimed, which means "I've found it"in Ancient Greek.Apparently,he was so excited by his discovery,which became very influential,that he jumped out of the bathtub and ran into the street to tell everyone! These two stories,both of which involve scientists suddenly solving problems that they'd been working on,have been told for centuries.People enjoy the simplicity of the stories when they think of the images of an apple falling from a tree or an old man jumping out of the bathtub.Perhaps the two stories even lead us to believe that we too can make great discoveries if we're lucky enough to have our own "Eureka moment.But,in reality,such discoverics usually follow years of hard work and serious scientific analysis,most of which isn't of interest to people in the same way as the two stories mentioned previously. Recent studies suggest that effective problem-solving often requires two types of attention.The first stage is analytical thinking,which involves paying close attention to detail.This stage may take years or even decades.But there comes a point when we must step away from the problem and give it space and time.And it's during this less focused stage,when we're in the bathtub,or under an apple tree,that our "Eureka moments"are more likely to come. 高三英语弟10页（共11页）
