B When Elise inherited her grandmother's bamboo-weaving workshop in a small rural town,she had no intention of kooping it.The 22 year-old design school graduate had dreamed of working for a famous fashion brand in the city."Bamboo weaving is outdated,"she had told her grandmother before her passing."No one buys those old-fashioned baskets and mats anymore." 圜 Returning for the funeral,Elise found herself drawn to the quiet workshop where dust covered the neatly stacked bamboo strips.As she ran her fingers over the 如 smooth bamboo,childhood memories flooded back-sitting on her grandmother's lap,watching skilled hands weave delicate patters,listening to stories of how this 啟 craft had sustained their family through generations. That evening,she diecovered an old journal hidden in the loom's drawer.The 长 pages revealed her grandmother's surprisingly innovative vision-sketches of 区 bamboo products with modern designs:handbags,lampshades,and even bamboo- inspired jewelry.Next to each design were thoughtful notes about appealing to 数 younger generations while preserving the craft's essence,and how bamboo's eco- friendly nature could make it relevant again. 痢 Determined to honor this legacy,Elise embarked on the challenging journey of revitalizing the workshop.She spent months mastering basic techniques, 阳 enduring blistered fingers and frustration.She experimented with combining bamboo with leather straps,colorful fabrics,and metal clasps,sharing these innovative designs on social media.Despite early struggles with few orders and criticism from traditional villagers Elise persisted. Her breakthrough came when she began attending design fairs in nearby cities,where her unique products attracted attention from boutique owners and environmental advocates.The turning point arrived when a renowned fashion designer contacted her for a collaboration featuring sustainable materials.Soon, orders poured in from young consumers who appreciated the blend of tradition and modernity,and eco-conscious buyers who valued the zero-waste production. A year later,Elise's transformed workshop not only thrived commercially but also became a community hub where she taught local women bamboo weaving, 高二英语第4页（共11页） providing them with sustainable livelihoods.Holding her grandmother's journal, she realized tradition means letting it grow with the times 24.Why did Elise initially refuse to take over her grandma's bamboo-weaving workshop? A.She wanted to stay in the city. B.She hated the boring work of bamboo weaving. C.She thought the craft was out of fashion and unprofitable. D.She didn't have the necessary skills to run the workshop. 25.What did Elise discover in her grandma's journal? A.Records of the family's hard times in the past. B.Instructions on how to weave traditional bamboo baskets. C.Complaints about young people's ignorance of traditional crafts 圜 D.Drawings of innovative bamboo products and forward-thinking ideas. 26.Which words ean best describe Elise? 铷 A.Helpful and cautious. B.Traditional and honest. 啟 C.Creative and persistent. D.Curious and dependent. 27.What can we learn from the passage? 长 A.Elise's ideas came from a famous fashion brand B.Elise's success helped preserve the traditional craft. C.Elise's grandma had never left the small rural town. D.Elise's bamboo products became popular because of low price. 数 c 寂 Few people doubt the value of developing students'thinking skills.A focus on critical thinking is common in education.In the Australian Curriculum,critical 舸 thinking and creative thinking are known as "general capabilities".The US has a similar focus through their“common core'”. Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children.One strategy that has a large impact on students'ability to analyze and evaluate arguments is argument mapping,in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion.This type of argument-based intellectual engagement can show high outcomes in terms of the quality of thinking in any classroom.Research also shows deliberate attention to the practice of reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be significantly improved through targeted teaching. Teachers at one high school in Australia,who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods,developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person.Students needed_to construct their own criteria 高二英语第5页（共11页） for greatness.To do so,they had to analyze the Australian sporting context,create possible evaluative standards,explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates.They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible,widely applicable and produeed a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport. Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument mapping said the critical thinking gains measured are close to those that could be expected to result from three years of undergraduate education.Students who are taught to think well also do better on subject-based exams and standardized tests than those who do not. In terms of developing 21st century skills,which includes setting up students for lifelong learning,teaching critical thinking should be core business. 28.Which of the following can explain the underlined word "capturing"in Paragraph 2? A.Blocking. B.Designing. C Describing. D.Attracting. 29.What's therpurpose of Paragraph 3? A.To acknowledge the teachers'outcomes. B.To emphasize the importance of critical thinking. C.To construct the criteria for being great. D.To present how to teach critical thinking. 30.What is the authors attitude toward teaching critical thinking? A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Objective. D.Neutral. 31.What does this text imply? A.Critical thinking should be valued in education. B.Critical thinking methods should be improved. C Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received. D.Researches on critical thinking deserve more attention. D The concept of“digital amnesia(健忘症)”has gained attention as smartphones and cloud storage become widespread.Coined by researchers at a German technology institute,the term describes a growing phenomenon:people are increasingly unable to recall information they rely on devices to store.A 2023 study tracking 2,000 adults across five countries found that 71%could not remember their closest friends'phone numbers,compared to just 12%in 2003- before smartphones became mainstream. This shift is not merely about memorization;it reflects a change in how we 高二英语第6页（共11页） process information.Cognitive scientists explain that when we save a fact to a phone rather than committing it to memory,our brains engage in "transactive memory"-relying on external tools as extensions of our own cognition.While this frees up mental space for complex thinking,it also creates vulnerability(). For example,travelers who store directions exclusively in navigation apps often struggle to navigate manually if their devices lose power. Critics argue that digital amnesia signals a decline in cognitive ability,but this view oversimplifies the issue.A 2024 experiment at Stanford University showed that participants who used digital storage performed better on creative problem-solving tasks than those who memorized all information.The brain,it turns out,allocates resources.based on utility:when information is easily accessible externally,it focuses on higher-order skills like analysis and connection-making. However,relying too heavily on devices carries risks.Researchers warn that excessive dependence on digital storage may weaken our ability to form long-term memories,as the brain requires active rehearsal to consolidate information.This is particularly concerning for younger generations,who have grown up with constant access to digital tools.A teacher in Berlin reported that students often struggle to summarize readings because they habitually look up every detail instead of internabzing(内化)key ideas. The solution lies in balanced reliance.Experts recommend "intentional memorization"for essential information-such as emergency contacts-while using devices for non-critical data.This approach leverages technology's efficiency without sacrificing core cognitive skills.As one researcher noted,"The goal is not to reject digital tools,but to use them as assistants rather than replacements for our own memory..” 32.According to paragraph 1,what is the primary evidence for the phenomenon of “digital amnesia”? A.71%of adults how use cloud storage. B.Most adults cannot recall their friends'phone numbers. C.It was coined by researchers at a German technology institute. D.Smartphones have become widespread across all five countries 33.What can we infer from the experiment mentioned in Paragraph 3? A.Digital storage harms creative thinking. B.Memorizing all information improves problem-solving C.People with digital amnesia have lower intelligence. D.External memory tools can benefit cognitive development. 高二英语第7页（共11页） 34.Which of the following is correct according to the passage? A.Digital amnesia is a dangerous mental disorder. B.People should abandon digital tools because of digital amnesia. C.Digital amnesia reflects the brain's adaptive use of external memory tools. D.Navigation apps are the main cause of people's poor sense of direction. 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人空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Friendship is a cornerstone of human life,yet its importance is often underestimated.While we may feel an unlimited desire for connection,resenrch iudieates that our capacity for maintaining relationships is actually finite.35 These studies Lave produced a wide range of estimates,from a few hundred to several thousand people.However,our core circle of trusted companions is 國 significantly smaller,typically consisting of only 10 to 20 people.36 This trend is concerning,as strong social bonds are strongly linked to better health and 如 longer life. Research offers practical guidance.Firstly.do not underestimate the 的 value of casual acquaintances().In fact,these brief,positive interactions can already have a meaningful influence on our happiness.38 A University of 长 Kansas study quantified this,finding it takes approximately 50 hours to transition from acquaintance to casual friend,another 40 hours to become a "real"friend, ☒ and a total of 200 hours to form a close bond. If building new friendships from beginning seems challenging,reviving old 数 relationships can be a highly rewarding alternative.Reconnecting with old friends allows for the quick revival of past trust.39 As a more unconventional 向 approach,appropriate self-disclosure can also foster closeness,as sharing personal thoughts often increases likability and strengthens bonds. 期 The universal longing for connection suggests that many people are navigating life feeling isolated.The most straightforward step might be to simply reach out to someone around you. A.So,what can one do to enrich a limited social life? B.For those seeking deeper connections,investment of time is crucial. C.Moreover,this trusted circle seems to be shrinking in size over the years. D.At the same time,you gain new insights from each other's recent life experiences. E.Social scientists have employed various methods to measure social network size. F.This method,though creative,might not accurately reflect the depth of these friendships. G.Therefore,making an effort to reconnect can be a highly efficient way to build a reliable friendship. 高二英语第8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小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43小题5分，共 12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域 作答。 AI's Biggest Threat:Young People Who Can't Think CEO Andy Jassy caused a stir last week with a memo to his employees warning that artificial intelligence could displace them."We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today,and more people doing other types of jobs,"he wrote.Nothing in his memo was shocking.Technological 最 advances as far back as the printing press have removed some jobs while creating many others.The real danger is that excessive reliance on AI could give rise to a 铷 generation of brainless young people unequipped for the jobs of the future because 的 they have never learned to think creatively or critically. Tho brain continues to develop and mature into one's mid-20s,but like a 长 muscle it needs to be exercised,stimulated and challenged to grow stronger.Technology and especially AI can prevent this development by doing the ☒ mental work that builds the brain's version of a computer cloud-a phenomenon called cognitive offloading.Growing research shows that handwriting engages parts 郑 of your brain that play a crucial role in learning and helps children with word and letter recognition.Taking notes by hand also promotes memory development by forcing you to synthesize()and prioritize information.When you type away 相 on a keyboard,on the other hand,information can go,as it were,in one ear and out the other.A study last year analyzed brain electrical activity of university students during the activities of handwriting and typing.Those who were handwriting showed higher levels of neural activation across more brain regions: "Whenever handwriting nrovements are included as a learning strategy,more of the brain gets stimulated,resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity,"the researchers noted.Most students in college and many in high school take notes on laptops or tablets,when they take them at all.AI tools that summarize lectures and meetings may soon make note-taking old- 靠 fashioned.Students will likely retain less information as a result. Why commit information to memory when ChatGPT can provide answers at your fingertips?For one thing,the brain can't draw connections between ideas that 高二英语第9页（共11页） aren't there.Nothing comes from nothing.Creativity also doesn't happen unless the brain is engaged.Scientists have found that "Aha!"moments occur spontaneously with a sudden burst of high-frequency electrical activity when the brain connects seemingly untelated concepts.College and high-school students increasingly also use large language models like ChatGPT to write papers,perform mathematical proofs,and create computer code.That means they don't learn how to think through,express or defend ideas.Nor how to construct arguments and anticipate the rebuttals().They offload these eognitive challenges to AI.Why hire a brainless bachelor's degree holder for a rote job that a bot can do at lower cost and with no complaints? 40.What is the danger of overreliance on AI according to the text? 41.Why does handwriting promote students'cognitive development? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. According to scientific researches,"suddenly understanding"moments happen when people use AI to help with challenges. 43.How do you use AI reasonably as a student?(In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) 见第11页学校自主命题。
