Yet,to stone enthusiasts,these little rocks reveal a tascinating world. JinHuilin,34,a member of the Nanjing Yuhua Stone Cultural Exchange Association started observing stones at the age of 23 in Nanjing,Jiangsu.He was.mstantly grabbed by the beauty of Yuhua stones,deseribing them as"exceptionally enchanting". Nanjing Yuhua stone is a type ot omamental waterworn stope inainly found in areas like Nanjing and Yizheng.It is known for its jade-like texture,bright colors,delicate size,and rich designs. When a Yuhua stone is dry,it appears as nondescript greys making it difficult-te-detect its true quality.Jin and his friends used to go to mining sites in Luhu,Nanjing,on rainy days,wearing rubber shoes to collect Yuhua stones.The rainwater brought out detailed patterns on the stones."If it's not raining,it's best to carry a bottle to spray the surface of these stones with water.You can sometimes uncover agate(玛w)or even fossils.”Jin said. According to Jin,appreciating stones starts with their external qualities like texture,color,and pattems.However,"genuine appreciation of the cultural references of the stones requires cultural knowledge;otherwise,they might seem like mere blocks of color,"said Jin.With related cultural knowledge and imagination,people see different patterns according to the textures and shapes of stones -such as weather-beaten trees,lofty peaks,roaring waterfalls,green lotus,or aged scholars."So, observing stones is,in a way,observing oneself.The stones a person chooses as their favorites ultimately refleco their cultural awareness."Jin added. Apart from water appreciation in which people observe patterns of stones in the water,Jin mentioned that enthusiasts also have other ways to apprectate stones.He gave some examples."Some people enjoy holding stones in their hand,appreciating their unique textures,or using strong light to reveal hidden patters that are even more beautiful.Others choose to place the stone on the desk, inviting admiration from guests who appreciate the stone from various-angles."said lin For Jin,stone observation brings joy and freshness to his life."Some people like to have lively pets as companions,while I prefer stones for their everlasting nature."Jin noted. 24 Whydid/in and His friendslcollect stoneson rainy days? 雅礼集团2025年下期期末考试高二英语第3页共8页 A.Because rainwater made the stones easier to carry. B.Because wet stones were more vatuable in the market. C.Because rainy days prevented others from collecting stones. D.Because rainwater revealed the hidden patterns of the stones. 25.What does the underlined word "nondescript"in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.Plain. B.Shiny. C.Unique. D.Colorful. 26.What does tin Huilia suggest about stone appreciation? A.It essentially relies on the observer's culturas perspeony B.It is ideally conducted among enthusiasts an.social occasions. C.It specially focuses on examining rocks'features on rainy days. D.It generally requires.advanced cquipment to see their me beauty 27.Which is the best title for the passage? A.A Master of Stone Appreciation B.Observing stones,Reflecting Self C.The Art of Making Yuhua stones D.Rlentifymg stones,Appreciating Nature C City living has long been described as fast-paced.A study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reveals that citizens in three major north-eastemn,U.S.cities-Boston,New York,and Philadelphia-are walking15 percent faster than they did in 1980.(hey also found that fewer people are spending extra time in public spaces,with the number dropping by 14 pereent over the past three decades. Co-author Arianna Salazar-Miranda said that the findings suggest a shift in how people use public spaces.She said,"When they start to function more like passageways than gathering spots,we risk losing cities'ability to generate informal encounters that drive creativity,engagement and community." Ruth Conroy Dalton,a professor of architecture at Northumbria University in the UK,who was not involved in the study,said,rise n walking speed shortens the average street joumey oy about 13 percent which-means fower seconds-in-which asserby mhteractions eye contact,or simply being present can occur."Dalton added."When the street itself gives you less to stop and lodk aroudd.you tena to hurry through it even faster. In the study,the researchers used machine learning to nalyze the videos taken by urbanist William Whyte between 1978 and 1980 in New York City.In 2010,a rescarcn team led by sociologist Keith Hampton recreated Whyte's filming conditions,shooting apdated videos from the same public locations at the same time of day.Among the findings was a drop in the number of people who ioined groups after entering public spaces.As for the reasons,the researchers point to the rise of smartphones,which allow people to make pians digitally before stepping outside.Coffee culture may also be playing a role, drawing people away from sidewalks and into climate-controlled Wi-Fi-equipped venues. The researchers hope their work will inform how cities desigo and redesign public areas,espeeially at a time when digital polarization is reshaping how people connect in real life:"Public space is such an important element of city life,"said co-author Salazar-Miranda."The tore we can keep improving public space,the more we can make our cities better places for puople to come together." 28 Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 1? A.To assess urban planning challenges. B.Lo demonstrate improved traffic efficiency. C.To highlight reduced social contact D.To provide ovidence fo faster lifestyles. 29.What is theumpactof faster walking speeds according to Dalton? A.It promotes pnysical exercise.

D Hundreds of women and minors have become victims of deepfake images made by Grog,an AI chathol owned by Elon Musk.This AI tool has been banned in several countries,which has started a global discussion about AI censorship and digital safety. The large number of deepfakes appeared after December 24th.On that day,Mr Musk said Grok had a new image generator through an update.This change made Grok as good as.the chatbots from Google and OpenAl,but there were big differences.Following Mr Musk's wish to make the most "based" (anti-censorship)chatbot,Grok hardly refusearequests for umages thatmight-be harmful.While Google and UpehAt s toots stop most requests for nude deepfakes,Grok kept making suchicontene for users. In early January,people reported that Grok had created nude deepfakes of women and even childron without their permission.Malaysia and Indonesia were the tirst to take action,banning Grok for a short ume.tney said Grok"seriously broke human rights,dignity and citizens'digital safety".Other countries like the UK have started looking into how Grok works. Mr Musk's reaction to this problem has got him criticized.When he saw a deepfake image of a stoaster wearing a bikini (a silly request that Grok had done),he laughed.This was very different from other tech companies,which said sorry when their AI was misused like this.On January 9th,Grok's image generator was only for paid users.This step cut down the number of harmful requests,but it did thot make them disappear completely. The Grok incident has shown how hard it is to contrel AI-generatedicontent these qays.As Al tools get more powerful,policymakers and tech companies are trying to find a balance between new inventions and protecting vulnerable groups from harm. 2.What is thetmain dinerence.oetween Grok ana uoogle's chatbot?

Last month,we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text.After many difficulties,we found only one site within the park was open to visitors.To enjoy the stone text in the mountains,we needed to finish a 2.5-mile path,which started from the museum of the park.2.5 miles didn't sound like a very long huke.We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit,and we thought we could easily do 2.5 miles.However,the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep and rocky and that it could be very challenging.But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go. "2.5 miles is not a big deal.Surely,we could do it if we wear proper boots andstartearly tomorrow morning,"I whispered to my husband lightheartedly. The next morning,my husband and I got up early.Before starting our hike.we first reachod-a-plaeo that-served breakfast.There,we found a family of three,a voung mnn name:Walter,his wife and sister They would also take the.path to watch the stone text.They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while.Before they set off,Walter said that he would see us at the stairs,and we thought no more about it.Twenty minutes later,we also started hiking. The trail started well and it was pretty,much downhill all the way Then it became more and more challenging.The path became extremely stecp and was blocked here and there by huge slippery ( rocks,which made each step forward an adventure. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph /As we pushed on,the.hike necame even toughey Paragraph 2:When Walter saw us,herrushedto help us. 罪礼集团2025年下期期末考试高二英语第8页共8页
