Huang was born in Tainan in 1963,but his father's work took the family to Thailand when he was a child.Then,when Huang was 9,his parents sent him.and his brother to the United States due to political tensions in Thailand. Unexpectedly,Huang was sent to a reform school for troubled youth.This may not sound beneficial,but Huang appreciated it.He says,"We worked really hard,and the kids were really tough."The toughness and work ethic (he developed have served him well. After graduating from college,Huang earned a master's degree in electrical engineering. While being a student,he worked as a waiter.Before he took the job,he was very shy,but waiting tables forced him to speak to people.That helped him to get over his shyness.He also learned the importance of admitting mistakes. On his 30th birthday,Huang and two engineering friends founded his company,NVIDIA. They thought it was likely that computers would soon need more powerful technology to display graphics ()So NVIDIA produced such hardware:the Graphics Processing Unit(GPU)in 1999.The first application of this technology was to video games,but it has also been used in other areas.Recently,GPUs have played a key role in the development of AI. Huang's success is attributed to a number of factors including hard work and refusal to give up.But the most important characteristic is his willingness to take risks and learn from failure. This requires humility ()and honesty,which enables him to recognize and correct mistakes. Huang encourages these attitudes in his employees,which are partly responsible for the company's success. Today,at the age of 62,Huang is the longest-serving CEO of a major technology company. He does not intend to stop anytime soon. 24.How did Huang react to being admitted to a reform school? A.He was shocked at first but settled for it. B.He took it seriously and made full use of it C.He set a goal to get prepared for his tech career. D.He regretted the reform school but didn't say so. 25.Why did Huang and his friends decide to develop the GPU? A.Because video game companies placed a large order of it. B.Because AI was in great need of the hardware at that time. C.Because stronger graphics hardware might be needed soon. D.Because no other groups were developing similar technology. 26.Which may replace the underlined part"attributed to"in paragraph 6? A.due to B.essential to C.identical to D.compared to 27.What is the text mainly about? A.GPU technology's invention and wide application. B.Huang's experiences and qualities leading to his success. C.NVIDIA's development and impact on the tech industry. D.The significance of hard work and risk-taking for a firm. 高二英语（试题)第4页（共10页) People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions-and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack,University of Glasgow researcher,said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do,Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. "We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,"Jack said."Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure,whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth." According to Jack and her colleagues,the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed.As a result,facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories:happy,sad,surprised,fearful, disgusted(厌恶的)，angry,or neutral..They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did."The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,"Jack said."Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion,Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less." In short,the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on,examining how cultural factors have diversified (these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion.Otherwise,when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures,Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 28.The discovery shows that Westerners A.consider facial expressions universally reliable B.observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways C.have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions D.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth 29.What were the people asked to do in the study? A.To classify some face pictures. B.To make a face at each other. C.To get their faces impressive. D.To observe the researchers'faces. 高二英语（试题)第5页（共10页) 30.What key weakness might critics highlight about the study's design? A.Dependence on subjective emotion categorization B.Lack of more diverse American cultural groups. C.Use of posed photos instead of natural expressions. D.Failure to track eye movements during observation. 31.What can be the best title for the passage? A.Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions B.The Eye as the Window to the Soul C.Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D.How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding D Advances in generative artificial intelligence (Al)have enabled authentic-sounding speech synthesis(语音合成)to the point that a person can no longer distinguish whether they are talking to another human or a deepfake(深度伪造).If a person's own voice is“cloned'bya third party without their agreement,bad guys can use it to send any message they want. Computer scientist and engineer Ning Zhang has developed a new method to prevent unauthorized speech synthesis before it takes place:a tool called AntiFake. Traditional deepfake detection methods only work after the damage is done.However, AntiFake prevents voice data from being synthesized into an audio deepfake beforehand.This tool turns the tables on cybercriminals(网s络罪犯)by using similar voice cloning techniques they employ,but for voice protection.The software complicates voice data extraction and feature identification crucial for voice synthesis."We're using an opposite AI technique originally used by cybercriminals,but now we're using it against them,"Zhang explained."We slightly change the recorded audio,just enough to make it unusable for voice clone training while still sounding natural to humans." Ben Zhao,a professor of computer science at University of Chicago,says that the software, like all digital security systems,will never provide complete protection.But,he adds that it can raise the bar and limit the attack to a smaller group of individuals with significant resources. AntiFake can already protect shorter voice recordings against cloning.The creators of the tool believe that it could be extended to protect larger audio documents or music from misuse. But the methods and tools that are developed must be continuously adapted because cybercriminals will learn and grow with them. 32.What is the primary purpose of AntiFake? A.To improve the quality of synthetic speech. B.To clone voices without the owner's approval. C.To stop unapproved speech generation from happening. D.To detect deepfakes after they have been created. 高二英语（试题)第6页（共10页) 33.How does AntiFake differ from these traditional methods? A.It cannot detect deepfakes until created. B.It prevents audio deepfakes in advance. C.It only works on short voice recordings. D.It relies on human listeners to identify deepfakes. 34.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The battle against deepfakes requires ongoing efforts. B.Developers should focus on short voice recordings. C.AntiFake is ineffective against advanced cloning techniques. D.AntiFake provides permanent solutions to the deepfake threat. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.The Future of Voice Technology B.A Method for Detecting AI Deepfakes C.A Tool to Keep AI from Stealing Your Voice D.The Challenge of Telling Human Voices 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Green Travel:More Than a Trend Many people assume sustainable(可持续的)travel requires grand gestures like carbon offset or expensive eco-hotels.Yet true green travel is built through simple,daily choices that collectively protect our planet.36. Choosing slow transportation.The heart of green travel lies in embracing (slower journeys.A traveler opts for a train instead of a flight between cities,enjoying landscapes while reducing emissions ()It might not seem heroic,but it reflects the wisdom that lasting impact comes from consistent,small acts.Like a forest growing silently over centuries,these choices build up into a healthier planet.37.They understood that harmony with nature is the highest form of travel. Respecting local ecosystems.38.When a hiker carries back all trash from a mountain trail,or a diver avoids touching coral reefs,they preserve beauty with care.This mirrors the ecological principle of "leave no trace"-protection over intervention.True respect isn't just about following rules;it focuses on a mindset where nature grows. _39.Thoughtful consumption creates waves of change.A tourist buys a handmade souvenir from a local artisan instead of a factory-made item.A family chooses a restaurant serving locally sourced food.Supporting communities that depend on sustainable practices reinforces a cycle of care.Such kindness to the Earth never goes unnoticed-it becomes the wealth we leave for future generations. Traveling light and smart.In an era of overconsumption,packing minimally is a 高二英语（试题)第7页（共10页) revolutionary act.A backpacker brings reusable bottles and containers,refusing single-use plastics.A hotel guest reuses towels and turns off lights when leaving.To some,these may seem inconvenient,but they are significant investments in our planet's future.40. A.Supporting local communities. B.Reducing waste consciously. C.Traditional cultures long practiced sustainable living. D.Once polluted,ecosystems take decades to recover. E.It is because every small action defends an easily-broken world. F.Respecting nature doesn't limit your adventure-it deepens your connection. G.Here are practical ways to travel greener and gain rewarding experiences. 第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Grace is an average young girl in the class.But she has a deep love for writing.She would spend countless hours 41 stories and poems in her notebook,lost in the world of her 42.
