B Now 56,the adventurer Bouchra Baibanou only took up mountaineering in earnest in her early 40s,going on to become the first North African woman to climb the world's seven highest summits(山顶). Baibanou discovered a passion for hiking as a child at summer camp.As an adult,she volunteered with a group that guided tourists and continued to develop her 高二英语试题第3页共10页 hiking skills.In 2011,she made a decision to climb Kilimanjaro.At the beginning, she didn't expect to reach the summit."I was afraid.But I was curious to know what my body would do and how it would react,so I pushed myself beyond my limits." When she returned from Kilimanjaro,she began to think,"Why not dream big?" Baibanou trains very hard:yoga,bodybuilding,and swimming.Even with the most thorough preparation,however,she still suffered a lot when facing the tough natural environment.Climbing Mount Everest,she had snow blindness."I couldn't read anything.Everything was just white."Her vision eventually returned,but she suffered severe frostbite(冻伤)，too.“My fingers were all black.I went from the mountain directly to the hospital."Fortunately,no fingers were sacrificed. There is also a mental load that comes with attempting such risky challenges. She has lost friends to the mountains,and doesn't take risks lightly,saying that "80%of the accidents happen during descent,because people think it's over.In the mountains,we say,your success doesn't happen until you come down."Unlike many sports,where an athlete's greatest prize is gold,"Here your medal is your life.” "Many people think that Muslim women can't do things."she says."But when they see me do what I do,they know that we are free."She has founded an organization in Morocco,teaching young girls about hiking and teamwork.She is reshaping what female North African sportswomen can achieve. 24.What can we learn about Baibanou from the first two paragraphs? A.She began climbing in her fifties.B.She reached the top of Kilimanjaro. C.She volunteered at a summer camp.D.She set a record for the fastest climb. 25.What happened when Baibanou climbed Mount Everest? A.She experienced temporary vision loss. B.She was forced to end the climb earlier. C.She lost several fingers to serious frostbite. D.She was not fully prepared before the climb. 26.What does the underlined word"descent"in the Paragraph 4 mean? A.The upward climb. B.The process of training C.The return journey. D.The pursuit of a medal. 27.What does Baibanou's experience show? A.Knowledge is power. B.Your mind shapes your world. C.Fortune favors the brave. D.The early bird catches the worm. C The commonly held belief that happiness follows a U-shaped curve-with peaks at the beginning and end of life-might be incorrect according to a recent study done by Fabian Kratz and Josef Bruderl at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany. 高二英语试题第4页共10页 Kratz says he was motivated to revisit the claim"because the U-curve did not reflect my personal experiences with older people".So the pair looked at self-reported happiness statistics of 70,922 adults who took part in an annual survey in Germany between 1984 and 2017.They then modelled how happiness changed within each person's life Rather than forming a U-shaped curve,they found that happiness generally declines slowly throughout adulthood until people's late 50s,when it begins to rise upwards until 64,then drops dramatically. One of the reasons Kratz believes previous studies have come to incorrect conclusions is that they oversimplify the trajectory (of happiness,partly by ignoring deaths brought about by ill health."You get the impression that after a certain age,happiness would increase only because the unhappy people are already dead,”says Kratz. Others say the results raise new questions."This study is remarkable in that it reveals what we're really trying to know in research,"says Philip Cohen,a professor of social economics at the University of Maryland,"but further study should be done to learn why happiness changes throughout life and if the dramatic drop can be avoided.” What should be noted is that the pair didn't control for factors such as marriage and income,which may influence happiness,and the study only looked at one country.Despite all these,the findings could have effects on policy."Previous scholars argued that we need positive action policies to help individuals deal with their midlife crisis,"says Kratz."but our results suggest that the most urgent issue is to address happiness decline in old age." 28.How did Kratz and Bruderl carry out the study? A.By doing observation. B.By analyzing data C.By conducting surveys. D.By applying theories. 29.When is an adult likely to be the happiest according to Kratz's study? A.In his late 40s. B.In his early 50s C.In his early 60s D.In his late 70s. 30.What is Philip Cohen's attitude towards the new study? A.Highly critical. B.Firmly opposed C.Deeply doubtful. D.Cautiously favorable 31.What can be inferred about the study from the last paragraph? A.It controlled for factors properly. B.It focuses on solving midlife crisis C.It collected data in a scientific way.D.It provides insights for policymakers D More than60 years ago,.Rosie the Robot made her TV debut(首次亮相)in The Jetsons,buzzing from room to room completing housework.Now,as scientists work 高二英语试题第5页共10页 to develop modern-day Rosies,one ordinary task is proving to be a big problem: folding laundry. While it seems ordinary to pick up a T-shirt and fold it into a neat square,it requires a surprisingly complex understanding of how objects move in three dimensions.With a learned understanding of how different fabrics (will respond when folded,humans can accomplish such tasks with ease.But for robots,if new situations differ from their training,they will have difficulty applying what they learn.As a result,current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks. Many robotic systems use a folding strategy called "pick and place".The robot uses computer vision technology to identify a specific point on a shirt (like the left sleeve),then pick up that point and place it down at a different point (perhaps the right sleeve).The origin,destination and trajectory of the movement is pre-determined.Any unexpected change will result in an incorrect fold.Measured by a metric (called IoU (1 is perfect),this strategy only scored 0.41 in a 2024 study. New technologies aim to make robots better at reacting to real-time changes during a folding task.One of these approaches is called AdaFold.Unlike pick and place,AdaFold can change its plan in the middle of a fold.When folding,the model repeatedly monitors the fabric to measure progress,so that it can adapt to changes and adjust when necessary to ensure the most overlap ()In the same 2024 study, AdaFold scored an IoU of 0.83. AdaFold shows dynamic,adaptable response.It could help researchers design smarter robots that respond flexibly to the ever-changing human world.Hopefully in the near future,robots will free us from housework like folding laundry. 32.Why does the author mention Rosie the Robot at the beginning? A.To explain a concept. B.To lead in the topic. C.To introduce a product. D.To promote the TV series 33.What writing technique is mainly used in Paragraph 2? A.Giving examples. B.Raising a question C.Using repetition. D.Making a contrast. 34.How does AdaFold differ from"pick and place"in folding clothes? A.It plans all steps before moving. B.It works faster on heavy fabrics. C.It uses simpler vision technology.D.It adjusts its actions during folding. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Rosie the Robot:a target for criticism B.Home robots:an assistant for research C.Folding laundry:a challenge for robots D.AdaFold:an approach to training robots 高二英语试题第6页共10页 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。 Around 80%of New Year's resolutions fail by February.Why?Because most approaches to habit formation only rely on motivation and unclear goal-setting. 36.It's gradual shifts that naturally become part of your routine.Here's how: Take small steps Creating lasting habits doesn't require an extreme restructure of your lifestyle overnight.Instead,start small by choosing one achievable change.Rather than committing to a 30-minute workout,begin with just 5-10 minutes and gradually build up.37 Set clear intentions 38.Instead of saying,"I won't eat sugar,"shift to,"I'll have a protein-rich breakfast every morning."Rather than thinking,"I need to stop wasting time,"say,"I'll devote 10 minutes to reading before bed."The more specific your plan,the easier it is to follow through. 39 An effective way to make habits stick is by fixing them to something you already do.Drink a glass of water after brushing your teeth,or stretch for 30 seconds after getting out of bed.Your environment can also serve as a signal.For example, you can place a book on your pillow as a trigger(触发因素)to read before bed. Making new habits easy and natural increases the chances of success. Associate with pleasure Enjoyment plays a crucial role in making habits sustainable.The more pleasure you associate with a habit,the more likely you are to stick with it.40.If you want to be more active,choose an activity you truly enjoy. In short,you don't need more motivation,you need a system that works for you Lasting habits come from small,intentional choices made consistently over time. A.Start with a reminder B.Make steady progress C.Your entire life is essentially the sum of your habits D.Focus on what you will do rather than what you won't E.If you want to drink more water,try adding lemon to it F.However,the key to lasting habits isn't massive changes G.Constant progress leads to big transformations over time 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 高二英语试题第7页共10页 When I was young,my brother would take me to the nearby rivers to catch trout ()At first,I learned the 41 of fishing.Over time,I became 42 with the trout's behavior.But I never thought I could make a career out of this interest.

The exhibition 59(design)as a step-by-step narrative that uses Chinese characters as 60 thread to tell stories about cultural encounters between China and Britain.One section explores how artists and designers take hanzi as a starting point for new work,61(present)pieces that reinterpret strokes (and structures through book design,fashion,art and 62(create)products.Another section follows the early spread 63 hanzi to the West and pre-20th century efforts to systematize Chinese movable type. Display boards and visual timelines illustrate the development of Chinese characters.Visitors can follow how hanzi 64 (shift)in form and use over centuries,while seeing how it continues to inspire design today. Yukteshwar Kumar,a scholar with the University of Bath,said,"For me,the process of learning Chinese has been fascinating,because every character carries a story,and an exhibition like this helps people in Britain and China understand each other much 65 (well),and that makes it very meaningful." 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66.假定你是李华，你校正筹备开展冬季运动活动，校英文报“Opinions”栏目 现向全校师生征集建议。请你用英语给编辑写一封信，内容包括： (1)推荐一项运动； (2)说明推荐理由； （3)简述活动方案。 注意： (1)词数80左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Editor, I'm glad to share my ideas about our school's upcoming winter sports activities.

But I knew that wasn't the answer she was looking for.Instead,I responded like any mom would,.“Maybe.” "YES!"My daughter screamed as she balled up her fist. "Why are you excited and saying 'yes'?"I asked curiously. "Because maybe'always ends up being 'yes',"she said,her voice bubbling with excitement. Over the next week,I made a long list of all the reasons why going to Auntie's house for Spring Festival would be far superior to hosting at our own house. Returning home one evening,I found a carefully designed task list of "New Year's Eve Project"posted on the refrigerator.In the kitchen,my daughter was sorting through New Year decorations she had ordered online. "Mom,look!"she exclaimed,holding up a delicate paper cutting."This is for window decoration.For New Year's Eve,I volunteer to manage the drinks and desserts.Dad has agreed to take charge of hanging the couplets and lanterns.We can work together like a project team." At that moment,the expression on her face-a mixture of a planner's seriousness and a child's pure excitement-suddenly struck me.What she longed for was never a convenient feast,but that sense of participation-of each family member contributing and connecting for a shared,beautiful purpose.It is this very act of"building together"that gives "home"its unique sense of closeness during these special times. In my heart,I silently crossed out the long list of reasons for going to Auntie's house."Well then,"I heard my voice soften as I reached out to gently brush the hair from her forehead."Where shall we begin,project manager?" "YES!"Again,my daughter screamed as she pumped her fist. 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。 In the days that followed,our home shifted into action. When the big day came,all the guests present were impressed. 高二英语试题第10页共10页
