The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter, 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 1. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 2. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 3. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. B I grew up on a dairy farm. The particular life location to which I got assigned—“stuck” is a better word if you’ve ever been there — was a small family-owned-and-operated outfit. I remember the Christmas when our main hired hand dropped out of the work rotation. Sixteen and the oldest of the kids left at home, I was called on to fill in. Halfway through the first day, I realized I had never noticed exactly how much that worker did. For five days I either milked or slept, fed calves (牛犊) or slept. I have to admit this gave me a deep appreciation of how hard my parents worked day in and day out for 30 years, and that understanding solidified my determination to do whatever it took to not stay on that dairy farm my whole life. Eventually, my determination paid off. I got into college. Now, I no longer have to worry about my father’s voice yelling, “Stace, come out here! We need help!” To be honest, I’m grateful. But at the same time, I also don’t have a compelling reason to be up in time to see the beauty of a sunrise. Nor do I have the opportunity to dance with my sister in the dairy barn, work side-by-side with my dad and hear the old stories. Now, there are whole stretches of days when I don’t feel any pressing need to even go outside. And I can go months without petting an animal or watching in amazement at their keen sense of the environment around them. Instead, I have neighbors within shouting distance but who feel like they live a planet away. Eighteen years I lived my life on that dairy, not really knowing there were people who didn’t get up and go out and work together to get the same overwhelming tasks done day after day. Sometimes I wish I had never found out there were. 4. What did the author come to understand on her first day working on the farm? A. She couldn’t manage so much work. B. Her parents sacrificed a lot for her family. C The tasks were dull and challenging. D. The work was more demanding than expected. 5. What motivated the author to pursue further education? A. Lack of opportunities on the farm. B A passion for academic study. C. Her dissatisfaction with farm life. D. Encouragement from her parents. 6. How does the author feel about her life now? A. Mixed. B. Regretful. C. Content. D. Relieved. 7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. She has become tired of her daily routine. B. She misses the connections she had before. C. She regrets leaving her family behind. D. She has lost interest in the beauty of nature. C Pomelo(a kind of fruit) has a thick peel that is typically thrown away, contributing to significant food waste. In a recent study, researchers at the University of Illinois looked into methods to repurpose it to develop a device capable of powering small electronic products. The pomelo peel has a thin outer layer and a thick, soft inner layer. “Some people have used pomelo peels to extract mixtures for essential oils,” the researchers said, “but we wanted to take advantage of the structure of the peel so as to upcycle it into higher-value products.” They cut it into smaller pieces and freeze-dried it to maintain its unique three-dimensional porous (多孔的) architecture. By examining its chemical composition and mechanical properties, the research team engineered a device that transforms mechanical energy into electricity. The device is contact electrified, which may sound complex, but is actually simple. When we touch a sweater, especially in the winter, sometimes we feel a shock. The basic mechanism is contact electrification, or rubbing-electrification (摩擦起电). When two materials are rubbed against each other, electricity can form due to the transfer of charges between them. The researchers used the pomelo peel and a plastic film as two rubbing-electric layers that are brought into contact when external force is present. They attached an electrode to each of these layers to judge how well the resulting device could turn external mechanical energy into electricity. By simply tapping the pomelo-peel-based rubbing-electric device with a finger, they could light up about 20 LEDs. They also showed that a sports watch can be powered only by these mechanical forces, without the need of external electricity. This work has strong potential to transform otherwise wasted energy into useful electricity; it could contribute significantly to long-term sustainability. Yi-Cheng Wang, a professor of College of Illinois, said, “We also found that, thanks to the pomelo peel’s naturally porous structure, rubbing-electric devices based on it can be highly sensitive to force and force frequency. Therefore, we got the idea of developing sensing devices that can be attached to the human body for biomechanical monitoring.” 8. What made the researchers develop the rubbing-electric device? A. The goal to produce more oils. B. The desire to cut down food waste. C. The need to test a freeze-drying technology. D. The lack of effective power-generating tools. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the device? A. Its developing process. B. Its functional advantages. C. Its working principle. D. Its experimenting conditions. 10. Why are LEDs and the sports watch mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove the device’s effectiveness. B. To stress their energy efficiency. C. To show the device’s user-friendliness. D. To measure their electricity consumption. 11. What can we know from Professor Wang’s words? A. The devices need further tests. B. The devices inspired wider applications. C. Pomelo peel may fail to respond to force. D. Making sensing devices is their original goal. D Last spring, Shiri Melumad, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, gave a group of 250 people a simple writing assignment: Share advice with a friend on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. To come up with tips, some were allowed to use a traditional Google search, while others could rely only on summaries of information generated automatically with Google’s artificial intelligence. The people using AI-generated summaries wrote advice that was generic, obvious and largely unhelpful — eat healthy foods, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep!The people who found information with a traditional Google web search shared more subtle advice about focusing on the various pillars of wellness, including physical, mental and emotional health. The tech industry tells us that chatbots and new AI search tools will supercharge the way we learn and thrive, and that anyone who ignores the technology risks being left behind. But Dr. Melumad’s experiment, like other academic studies published so far on AI’s effects on the brain, found that people who rely heavily on chatbots and AI search tools for tasks like writing essays and research are generally performing worse than people who don’t use them. Welcome to the era of “brain rot”, the slang term to describe a deteriorated mental state from engaging with low-quality internet content. When we write with ChatGPT, are we even writing? The most high-profile study this year about AI’s effects on the brain came out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where researchers sought to understand how tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT could affect how people write. The study, which involved 54 college students, had a small sample size, but the results raised important questions about whether AI could suppress people’s abilities to learn. For part of the study, students were asked to write an essay ranging from 500 to 1,000 words, and they were divided into different groups: One group could write with the help of ChatGPT, a second group could look up information only with a traditional Google search, and a third group could rely only on their brains to compose their assignment. The students wore sensors that measured electrical activity in their brains. The ChatGPT users showed the lowest brain activity, which was unsurprising since they were letting the AI chatbot do the work. But the most striking revelation arose after the students finished the writing exercise. One minute after completing their essays, the students were asked to quote any part of their essay. The vast majority of ChatGPT users (83 percent) could not recall a single sentence. In contrast, the students using Google’s search engine could quote some parts, and the students who relied on no tech could recite lots of lines, with some even quoting almost the entirety of their essays literally. “It has been one minute and you really cannot say anything?” said Nataliya Kosmyna, the research scientist at MIT Media Lab who led the study, about the ChatGPT users. “If you don’t remember what you wrote, you don’t feel ownership. Do you even care?” 12. What was the main finding of Dr. Melumad’s experiment? A. AI-generated summaries are more helpful than traditional searches. B. People using AI summaries gave less detailed and helpful advice. C. Traditional Google searches are no longer useful for writing. D. AI tools improve the quality of writing assignments significantly. 13. What does the term “brain rot” refer to in the text? A. disease caused by using computers. B. Improved thinking ability from using AI. C. Mental decline due to poor content consumption. D. A new type of brain training method. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of the text? A. AI tools are useless for academic tasks. B. Using AI may reduce mental engagement and memory maintenance. C. Traditional search engines are better than AI for all tasks. D. Students should avoid using technology in writing assignments. 15. Why does the author mention Nataliya Kosmyna’s question: “Do you even care?” A. To show that ChatGPT users are lazy. B. To emphasize the loss of personal connection to one’s work when using AI. C. To criticize MIT’s research methods. D. To encourage more use of AI in writing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 James Smith has long succeeded in competition, even in snowball fights as a child.

I’d worked here for just two weeks, but I was always under his watch. “Just me and the chef in the kitchen? I… I’m not sure,” I stammered. John said firmly, “You’ve been watching, learning, and helping with every detail — taking orders correctly, keeping tables clean and handling change. I’m sure you’re ready.” “What if there are accidents?” I asked worriedly. “I’m sure you’ve learned the techniques from the past days,” John replied. Before he rushed out of the restaurant, he added, “Just trust yourself, find ways out and remember to smile.” Taking a deep breath, I straightened my apron (围裙) and walked toward the front of the restaurant. The crowd was starting to walk in — families with kids, couples chatting over coffee, and a few diners buried in their newspapers. The chef gave me a quick nod from the kitchen. The first hour went smoothly. I took orders, refilled drinks, and helped customers make the payments. Then a challenge came. A group of eight — clearly coming for a birthday party — walked in without a reservation. Our small restaurant was already nearly full — there was only a big table and two smaller tables. I led them to the big table by the window, but a lady shook her head and said, “This won’t do. We need space for the cake!” I tried to calm myself down and think hard. Then it hit me. I quickly put two smaller tables together near the window, covering the mismatched edges with a spare tablecloth. “How’s this? Plenty of room for your celebration,” I smiled, remembering John’s last words. The lady nodded instantly. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 雅礼中学2025年下学期期末考试试卷 高二英语 时量：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题看上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

If James can’t accept that, he should move out.(虽然Marley对TikTok的使用对某些人来说似乎有些过度，但最终还是取决于她选择如何利用自己的时间。如果詹姆斯不能接受，他应该搬出去)”可知，只有Margo全力支持Marley。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?(在我们的读者反馈部分，告诉我们：Marley应该离开TikTok，开始自己的生活吗？)”可知，这篇文章最有可能来自互动专栏。故选D。 B I grew up on a dairy farm. The particular life location to which I got assigned—“stuck” is a better word if you’ve ever been there — was a small family-owned-and-operated outfit.

In a recent study, researchers at the University of Illinois looked into methods to repurpose it to develop a device capable of powering small electronic products. The pomelo peel has a thin outer layer and a thick, soft inner layer. “Some people have used pomelo peels to extract mixtures for essential oils,” the researchers said, “but we wanted to take advantage of the structure of the peel so as to upcycle it into higher-value products.” They cut it into smaller pieces and freeze-dried it to maintain its unique three-dimensional porous (多孔的) architecture. By examining its chemical composition and mechanical properties, the research team engineered a device that transforms mechanical energy into electricity. The device is contact electrified, which may sound complex, but is actually simple. When we touch a sweater, especially in the winter, sometimes we feel a shock. The basic mechanism is contact electrification, or rubbing-electrification (摩擦起电). When two materials are rubbed against each other, electricity can form due to the transfer of charges between them. The researchers used the pomelo peel and a plastic film as two rubbing-electric layers that are brought into contact when external force is present. They attached an electrode to each of these layers to judge how well the resulting device could turn external mechanical energy into electricity. By simply tapping the pomelo-peel-based rubbing-electric device with a finger they could light up about 20 LEDs. They also showed that a sports watch can be powered only by these mechanical forces, without the need of external electricity. This work has strong potential to transform otherwise wasted energy into useful electricity; it could contribute significantly to long-term sustainability. Yi-Cheng Wang, a professor of College of Illinois, said, “We also found that, thanks to the pomelo peel’s naturally porous structure, rubbing-electric devices based on it can be highly sensitive to force and force frequency. Therefore, we got the idea of developing sensing devices that can be attached to the human body for biomechanical monitoring.” 8. What made the researchers develop the rubbing-electric device? A. The goal to produce more oils. B. The desire to cut down food waste. C. The need to test a freeze-drying technology. D. The lack of effective power-generating tools. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the device? A. Its developing process. B. Its functional advantages. C. Its working principle. D. Its experimenting conditions. 10. Why are LEDs and the sports watch mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove the device’s effectiveness. B. To stress their energy efficiency. C. To show the device’s user-friendliness. D. To measure their electricity consumption. 11. What can we know from Professor Wang’s words? A The devices need further tests. B. The devices inspired wider applications. C. Pomelo peel may fail to respond to force. D. Making sensing devices is their original goal. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11.

To come up with tips, some were allowed to use a traditional Google search, while others could rely only on summaries of information generated automatically with Google’s artificial intelligence. The people using AI-generated summaries wrote advice that was generic, obvious and largely unhelpful — eat healthy foods, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep!The people who found information with a traditional Google web search shared more subtle advice about focusing on the various pillars of wellness, including physical, mental and emotional health. The tech industry tells us that chatbots and new AI search tools will supercharge the way we learn and thrive, and that anyone who ignores the technology risks being left behind. But Dr. Melumad’s experiment, like other academic studies published so far on AI’s effects on the brain, found that people who rely heavily on chatbots and AI search tools for tasks like writing essays and research are generally performing worse than people who don’t use them. Welcome to the era of “brain rot”, the slang term to describe a deteriorated mental state from engaging with low-quality internet content. When we write with ChatGPT, are we even writing? The most high-profile study this year about AI’s effects on the brain came out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where researchers sought to understand how tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT could affect how people write. The study, which involved 54 college students, had a small sample size, but the results raised important questions about whether AI could suppress people’s abilities to learn. For part of the study, students were asked to write an essay ranging from 500 to 1,000 words, and they were divided into different groups: One group could write with the help of ChatGPT, a second group could look up information only with a traditional Google search, and a third group could rely only on their brains to compose their assignment. The students wore sensors that measured electrical activity in their brains. The ChatGPT users showed the lowest brain activity, which was unsurprising since they were letting the AI chatbot do the work. But the most striking revelation arose after the students finished the writing exercise. One minute after completing their essays, the students were asked to quote any part of their essay. The vast majority of ChatGPT users (83 percent) could not recall a single sentence. In contrast, the students using Google’s search engine could quote some parts, and the students who relied on no tech could recite lots of lines, with some even quoting almost the entirety of their essays literally. “It has been one minute, and you really cannot say anything?” said Nataliya Kosmyna, the research scientist at MIT Media Lab who led the study, about the ChatGPT users. “If you don’t remember what you wrote, you don’t feel ownership. Do you even care?” 12. What was the main finding of Dr. Melumad’s experiment? A. AI-generated summaries are more helpful than traditional searches. B. People using AI summaries gave less detailed and helpful advice. C. Traditional Google searches are no longer useful for writing. D. AI tools improve the quality of writing assignments significantly. 13. What does the term “brain rot” refer to in the text? A. disease caused by using computers. B. Improved thinking ability from using AI. C. Mental decline due to poor content consumption. D. A new type of brain training method. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of the text? A. AI tools are useless for academic tasks. B. Using AI may reduce mental engagement and memory maintenance. C. Traditional search engines are better than AI for all tasks. D. Students should avoid using technology in writing assignments. 15. Why does the author mention Nataliya Kosmyna’s question: “Do you even care?” A. To show that ChatGPT users are lazy. B. To emphasize the loss of personal connection to one’s work when using AI. C. To criticize MIT’s research methods. D. To encourage more use of AI in writing. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15.

I’d worked here for just two weeks, but I was always under his watch. “Just me and the chef in the kitchen? I… I’m not sure,” I stammered. John said firmly, “You’ve been watching, learning, and helping with every detail — taking orders correctly, keeping tables clean and handling change. I’m sure you’re ready.” “What if there are accidents?” I asked worriedly. “I’m sure you’ve learned the techniques from the past days,” John replied. Before he rushed out of the restaurant, he added, “Just trust yourself, find ways out and remember to smile.” Taking a deep breath, I straightened my apron (围裙) and walked toward the front of the restaurant. The crowd was starting to walk in — families with kids, couples chatting over coffee, and a few diners buried in their newspapers. The chef gave me a quick nod from the kitchen. The first hour went smoothly. I took orders, refilled drinks, and helped customers make the payments. Then a challenge came. A group of eight — clearly coming for a birthday party — walked in without a reservation. Our small restaurant was already nearly full — there was only a big table and two smaller tables. I led them to the big table by the window, but a lady shook her head and said, “This won’t do. We need space for the cake!” I tried to calm myself down and think hard. Then it hit me. I quickly put two smaller tables together near the window, covering the mismatched edges with a spare tablecloth. “How’s this? Plenty of room for your celebration,” I smiled, remembering John’s last words. The lady nodded instantly. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them. One customer knocked over his glass, splashing water across the floor. Without panicking, I grabbed a towel, quickly mopped it up, and handed him a fresh drink with a smile. “No worries at all — accidents happen!” I said. I noticed a look of admiration in his face. Another time, the kitchen mixed up an order. I apologized sincerely, had the chef remake it immediately, and even offered a free dessert to make up for the wait. Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in. He scanned the restaurant — tables full but orderly, guests chatting happily and no signs of chaos. Spotting me, he raised his eyebrows and smiled widely. Then he walked toward me, patted me on the shoulder and announced, “You’ve handled everything perfectly!” Relief washed over me, and pride quickly followed. At that time, I realized that maybe I was ready for more than I thought — I just needed to trust myself to figure things out, with a smile. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了周六上午，餐厅老板约翰临时让工作仅两周的作者代管店铺几小时。作者起初紧张，后谨记约翰“相信自己、保持微笑”的叮嘱，顺利应对顾客点餐结账，还巧妙解决生日派对拼桌、顾客打翻水杯、厨房送错餐等问题，最终获约翰夸赞，也意识到自己比想象中更能干。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“事故仍不断发生，但我尽力去处理它们”可知，第一段可描写作者尽力处理事故的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我正要把账单递给一位满意的顾客时，约翰走了进来”可知，第二段可描写作者最终获约翰夸赞，也意识到自己比想象中更能干。 2.续写线索：事故发生——尽力处理——约翰来到餐厅——获得约翰夸赞——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/make an apology ②淹没：wash over/flood over ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①真诚：sincerely/heartfeltly ②高兴：happily/joyfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] One customer knocked over his glass, splashing water across the floor.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] At that time, I realized that maybe I was ready for more than I thought — I just needed to trust myself to figure things out, with a smile.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
