Born in London in 1934, she fell in love with animals as a child — her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee at two, and she spent hours observing birds and insects in her backyard. After high school, Goodall saved money for an African trip by working as a secretary. In 1957, she met renowned anthropologist Louis Leakey in Kenya. Impressed by her curiosity, Leakey offered her a job studying chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park — even though few believed a woman without a college degree could do serious scientific research. In 1960, Goodall arrived in Gombe. Living alone in a small camp, she woke early to follow chimpanzee groups. At first, the chimpanzees were wary of her and kept their distance, but her patience won their trust. A key breakthrough came when she saw a chimpanzee use a twig to fish for termites — challenging the belief that only humans make and use tools. Over the years, her research revealed chimpanzees have complex social structures and feel emotions like joy and grief. She also raised awareness about protecting their habitats, threatened by deforestation and poaching. Today, in her late 80s, Goodall still travels the world advocating for wildlife conservation and runs the Jane Goodall Institute, supporting projects in over 30 countries. Her story shows curiosity and perseverance can lead to extraordinary achievements. 4. What inspired Jane Goodall to study animals? A. A college course on primates B. Her toy chimpanzee and childhood observations C. A meeting with Louis Leakey in Kenya D. A trip to Gombe Stream National Park 5. What does the underlined word “wary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. cautious B. afraid C. doubtful D. curious 6. We can infer from the passage that Louis Leakey was ______. A. A strict boss who demanded perfect results B. An open-minded person who valued potential C. A scientist who doubted women’s research abilities D. A primatologist who studied chimpanzees in Gombe 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Jane Goodall’s research changed people’s understanding of chimpanzees B. The challenges Jane Goodall faced as a female scientist C The importance of protecting chimpanzee habitats D. Jane Goodall’s life and her contributions to science and conservation 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了简・古道尔从小热爱动物，在利基帮助下研究黑猩猩，发现它们会使用工具、有复杂情感。她终身致力于野生动物保护，用好奇与坚持取得非凡成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Born in London in 1934, she fell in love with animals as a child — her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee at two, and she spent hours observing birds and insects in her backyard.(她于1934年出生在伦敦，从小就对动物产生了浓厚的兴趣——两岁时，父亲送给她一个名为朱比利的玩具黑猩猩，此后她便在自家后院花大量时间观察鸟类和昆虫)”可知，玩具黑猩猩以及儿时的观察经历促使简·古道尔去研究动物。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“kept their distance(保持距离)”可知，黑猩猩们和她保持距离，说明一开始很谨慎。故划线词意思是“谨慎的”。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Impressed by her curiosity, Leakey offered her a job studying chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park — even though few believed a woman without a college degree could do serious scientific research.(由于对她的好奇心印象深刻，利基给了她一份在坦桑尼亚戈姆贝溪国家公园研究黑猩猩的工作——尽管当时几乎没有人相信一个没有大学学历的女性能够从事严肃的科学研究)”可知，路易斯·利基是一个思想开放且重视潜力的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Jane Goodall, a world-famous primatologist (灵长类动物学家), dedicated her life to studying chimpanzees.

Unlike traditional technology, AI can learn from data, recognize patterns, and make independent decisions — abilities once unique to humans. Widely used AI applications include natural language processing (NLP), which powers virtual assistants like Siri to understand speech and answer questions. In healthcare, AI helps doctors analyze medical images more accurately. Self-driving cars also rely on AI to detect obstacles and navigate safely, promising fewer traffic accidents. However, AI brings challenges. Privacy risks come with its collection of large amounts of personal data. Some repetitive jobs may be replaced by AI, leading to job displacement. Ensuring AI makes fair, unbiased decisions is also a key issue for developers. Despite these problems, experts believe AI’s benefits outweigh risks with proper regulation. With technological progress and thoughtful policies, AI will drive innovation, improve efficiency, and solve complex problems. Its future is not replacing humans, but working with them for a better world — this positive potential makes AI a valuable tool for progress. 8. Which is an example of NLP application? A. AI analyzing medical images B. Self-driving cars navigating C. Virtual assistants answering voice commands D. AI avoiding decision bias 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The challenges brought by AI technology B. The reasons why AI collects personal data C. How AI replaces repetitive human jobs D. The ways to make AI decisions fair 10. What is the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Fully critical B. Completely neutral C. Mostly positive D. Strongly doubtful 11. What is the best title for the passage? A The History of AI B. Types of AI Applications C. Solving AI’s Ethical Problems D. AI: Benefits, Challenges and Future 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人工智能的应用、带来的挑战、专家态度以及未来发展前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Widely used AI applications include natural language processing (NLP), which powers virtual assistants like Siri to understand speech and answer questions.(广泛使用的人工智能应用包括自然语言处理（NLP），它能让像Siri这样的虚拟助手理解语音并回答问题。)”可知，自然语言处理的应用例子是虚拟助手响应语音指令。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第三段，尤其是第一句话“However, AI brings challenges.(然而，人工智能带来了挑战。)”可知，第三段主要介绍人工智能技术带来的挑战。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Despite these problems, experts believe AI’s benefits outweigh risks with proper regulation.(尽管存在这些问题，专家们认为如果监管得当，人工智能的好处大于风险。)”以及“ Its future is not replacing humans, but working with them for a better world — this positive potential makes AI a valuable tool for progress.(它的未来不是取代人类，而是与人类合作创造更美好的世界——这种积极的潜力使人工智能成为推动进步的宝贵工具。)”可知，作者对人工智能的态度主要是积极的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought great changes to life and work. Unlike traditional technology, AI can learn from data, recognize patterns, and make independent decisions — abilities once unique to humans.(人工智能（AI）给生活和工作带来了巨大变化。与传统技术不同，人工智能可以从数据中学习、识别模式并自主做出决策——这些能力曾经是人类独有的。)”根据第三段“However, AI brings challenges.(然而，人工智能也带来了挑战。)以及根据最后一段“Despite these problems, experts believe AI’s benefits outweigh risks with proper regulation. With technological progress and thoughtful policies, AI will drive innovation, improve efficiency, and solve complex problems. Its future is not replacing humans, but working with them for a better world—this positive potential makes AI a valuable tool for progress.(尽管存在这些问题，专家认为，只要监管得当，人工智能的益处大于风险。 随着技术进步和审慎的政策制定，人工智能将推动创新、提高效率、解决复杂问题。 它的未来不是取代人类，而是与人类携手共建更美好的世界——这种积极的潜力使人工智能成为推动进步的宝贵工具)”可知，文章依次介绍了人工智能的好处、挑战和未来前景，因此“人工智能：益处、挑战与未来”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D Two small white dogs appeared as I arrived at a ranch house a few miles off the highway in Hempstead, followed by John Mendola, a retired police officer. He introduced me to the dogs, Princess Ariel and Princess Jasmine. They were named for a deceased dog named Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: they are Princess’s clones. It has now been nearly thirty years since cloning mammals (哺乳动物) became possible. The technology has mainly been used to produce cattle, sheep, and pigs. However, since 2005, more than two thousand dogs have been successfully cloned. Biologically, it is not very different from that of cloned cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical (伦理的) and identity issues. There are issues of exploitation (剥削) — both of grieving owners who hope to bring back their lost pets, and of the unseen animals whose bodies are used in making a clone. There’s the issue of supply: the production of tailored dogs in a society when so many good, naturally born ones in shelters are in need of adoption. Finally, there’s an existential issue: who, exactly, is produced when a dog is cloned? Dogs are seen by most owners as a species of individuals, with distinct personalities. We keep them for companionship. As a result, we have placed our ideas of selfhood onto them, giving them preferences, fears, and moods. But, if it is dogs’ individuality that we value, how can we accept the idea that their unique and unreproducible selves can, in fact, be reproduced? As a matter of fact, among the people who have cloned their dogs, many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning. Many spoke of the original as simply “special” — but the specific nature of that specialness seemed almost impossible to be explained. Perhaps the desire was less about re-creating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal. 12. What can we learn about the two white dogs in the first paragraph? A. They were named after a princess. B. They were clones of a late dog. C. They were distinct from each other. D. They were naturally produced by Princess. 13. How is the cloning of dogs different from that of other mammals? A. It has higher success rates. B. It raises more moral concerns. C. It is technically more challenging. D. It stirs greater public curiosity. 14. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the cloning of dogs? A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Favourable. D. Disapproving. 15. Why do people desire to clone their dogs? A. To deal with the identity issue. B. To reproduce the original animal. C. To recreate a distinctive emotional bond. D. To find out the specialness of the original dog. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了克隆狗早已有之，但会引发一系列伦理和身份问题，作者也表达了观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“He introduced me to the dogs, Princess Ariel and Princess Jasmine. They were named for a deceased dog named Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: they are Princess’s clones. (他把我介绍给狗狗们，爱丽儿公主和茉莉公主。它们以一只名叫公主的已故的狗命名，在每个细节上都与公主相似。它们应该是：它们是公主的克隆体)”可知，第一段中的两只白狗，是一只已故狗的克隆体。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“Biologically, it is not very different from that of cloned cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical (伦理的) and identity issues. (从生物学上讲，它与克隆的奶牛或绵羊没有太大区别，但在其他方面，克隆宠物会引发一系列伦理和身份问题)”可知，克隆狗与其他哺乳动物的不同之处在于它们会引发更多的道德问题。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段讲对狗的克隆产生的伦理问题和身份问题的分析和最后一段中“As a matter of fact, among the people who have cloned their dogs, many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning. (事实上，在克隆狗的人中，许多人很难准确说出他们想要繁殖的原始动物是什么，尤其是与他们喜欢的狗相比，他们并不想克隆)”可知，作者对此持不赞成的态度。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中“Perhaps the desire was less about re-creating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal. (也许这种愿望与其说是为了重新创造原始的狗，不如说是为了恢复与动物建立的独特关系)”可知，人们渴望克隆狗是为了重建与原有动物独特的情感联系。故选C项。 第二节 七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everybody lies to some degree. ___16___ However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers (弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for. ___17___ There are many signs that indicate that someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. ___18___ Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars (撒谎者) would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body. Ask questions — quickly. If you suspect you’re being lied to, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy.” explains Kang Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “ ___19___ When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.” Check for emotional “leaks” Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. ___20___ And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie. So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it. A. Listen to the voices. B. Get better at body language. C. The follow-up lie is more difficult. D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何识别说谎者的一些建议。 【16题详解】 上文“Everybody lies to some degree.(每个人都在某种程度上说谎)”说明每个人某种程度上都说谎，谎言会发生在每个人身上，选项G“谎言发生在朋友之间、师生之间、夫妻之间。”承接上文，人人都会说谎，谎言发生在各种人与人之间的关系中。故选G项。 【17题详解】 下文“There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice.(有很多迹象表明某人可能在说谎。例如，这个人可能会与他人的眼神接触过少或过多，面部出汗或泛红，以及难以控制自己的声音的音量和语调)”以及“Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars (撒谎者) would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.(通常与说话相伴的手势可能会变得不那么频繁出现。手臂和腿部的动作也可能减少。似乎说谎者会更加专注于讲述谎言，因此他们的身体会变得更加安静)”说明本段讲述了撒谎时的肢体语言，选项B“更善于解读肢体语言”总结了本段要义，故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice.(有很多迹象表明某人可能在撒谎。例如，一个人可能会有过少或过多的眼神交流，出汗或脸红，难以控制自己的音量和语调)”说明一个人撒谎时，会有很多迹象，会过少或过多的眼神交流，出汗或脸红，难以控制自己的音量和语调，选项D“有趣的是，说谎的人通常会身体动作更少”承接上文，说谎的人还会表现得更安静，故选D项。 【19题详解】 上文“Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy.” explains Kang Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.(试着快速地提出问题——一个接一个地问。“第一句谎言很容易说出口。”安大略教育研究所的教授康·李这样解释道)”说明第一个谎言很容易，问题也很容易回答，接下来的谎言就会很难，选项C“接下来的谎言更难。”承接上文，第一个谎言很容易，接下来的谎言很难。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot.(如果你通过录像仔细观察人们的行为，就会发现他们在露出假表情以掩盖谎言之前，会先流露出真实的情感。但这些极其短暂的面部动作（有些仅持续四分之一秒）却很难被察觉)”说明说谎者在表现出掩盖谎言的虚假表情之前表现出真实的情绪，但这些真实的情绪不容易被发现，甚至有些专业人员都发现不了，选项E“即使是受过测谎训练的专业人士也不能总是把它们区分开来。”承接上文，说谎者表现出的虚假表情和真实情绪，即使是受过测谎训练的专业人士也不能区分开。故选E项。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空处的最佳选项。 “You’ve lost 60% of your hearing in your right ear and it’s permanent(永久的).” “What?!” I stared at the doctor.

Her latest test — 65/100 — reddened her eyes instantly; big teardrops smudged (使模糊) the ink. She wiped her cheeks, crumpled the paper into a tight ball, and stuffed it in her desk, terrified someone might see that glaring score. Her face burned with embarrassment. Tom, her deskmate and the class’s top physics student, had quietly noticed her distress. More than once during evening study, he’d seen her frowning at formulas. After class, as classmates streamed out, Tom packed his bag but sat back down, gaze on her bowed head. “Lily,” he said softly, “Physics is a high obstacle, but running from it won’t help. Let’s go over the test step by step — I promise it’s not scary.” “I don’t want to bother you,” Lily mumbled. “It’s no bother,” Tom smiled, eyes crinkling. That afternoon, he explained complex physics concepts with simple daily examples — falling apples, light bulb circuits. For two weeks, they met at lunch and after school: he lent annotated notes and formula flashcards, quizzing her gently. Lily practiced tirelessly, and her confidence grew — she no longer froze at physics questions. When the midterm came, Lily breathed deeply, opened the paper, and felt relief — most questions felt familiar. She picked up her pen, hand steady, and wrote with a clear, focused mind. 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。 Paragraph 1: Three days later, the teacher handed out midterm papers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tom caught her eye and raised an eyebrow, smiling. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Three days later, the teacher handed out midterm papers. Lily’s hands shook as she took hers, squeezing her eyes shut before glancing down.“92!” she gasped, joy bubbling up. She turned to Tom, who was already grinning at her. “I did it! Thank you so much — you’re the reason I made it!” she said excitedly. Tom scratched his head shyly. “You worked so hard yourself. I just gave a little push.” The teacher walked by, nodding in approval: “Fantastic progress, Lily!” Lily smiled, realizing asking for help wasn’t weak — it was how we grow. Tom caught her eye and raised an eyebrow, smiling. “Told you you’d make it.” Lily nodded her head, passing him her paper. “I couldn’t have done it without you — those circuit examples, the flashcards… you made physics make sense.” Tom scratched the back of his neck, cheeks pink. “You did the work. I just gave you a nudge.” After class, Lily pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from her bag — her old 65-point test — and tape d it next to the new one in her notebook. “This is our win,” she said softly. Tom smiled, handing her a new set of flashcards. “Ready to go for 90 next time?” Lily nodded, her confidence brighter than ever — friendship, she realized, was the best tool to beat any obstacle. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莉莉数学很好但物理很差，一次只考了65分，十分难过。同桌汤姆注意到后主动帮助她，用简单例子讲解知识、帮她复习。两周努力后，莉莉期中考试取得92分的好成绩。她十分感谢汤姆，也明白求助不是软弱，友谊和努力能帮人战胜困难。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“三天后，老师发下了期中考试试卷”可知，第一段可描写莉莉期中考试取得92分的好成绩，十分感谢汤姆并认识到求助于他人并不代表软弱，而是成长所需的经历。 ②由第二段首句内容“汤姆的目光落在了她身上，挑了挑眉毛，微笑着说道：‘我早就跟你说过你会成功的。’”可知，第二段可描写汤姆对莉莉的鼓励，莉莉领悟到友谊和努力能帮人战胜困难。 2.续写线索：发下试卷——得知分数——感谢汤姆——汤姆鼓励——莉莉感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①战胜：beat/defeat ②求助：ask for help/turn to sb (for help) ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①激动地：excitedly/in excitement ②称赞：approval/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lily smiled, realizing asking for help wasn’t weak — it was how we grow.（运用了现在分词realizing作状语、动名词短语asking for help作主语以及how 引导的表语从句） [高分句型2] Lily’s hands shook as she took hers, squeezing her eyes shut before glancing down.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及现在分词squeezing作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 上饶市民校考试联盟 2025-2026学年上学期阶段测试（二） 高二英语试卷 试卷满分：150分 考试时长：120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Students who borrow e-books B Jane Goodall, a world-famous primatologist (灵长类动物学家), dedicated her life to studying chimpanzees. Born in London in 1934, she fell in love with animals as a child — her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee at two, and she spent hours observing birds and insects in her backyard. After high school, Goodall saved money for an African trip by working as a secretary. In 1957, she met renowned anthropologist Louis Leakey in Kenya. Impressed by her curiosity, Leakey offered her a job studying chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park — even though few believed a woman without a college degree could do serious scientific research. In 1960, Goodall arrived in Gombe. Living alone in a small camp, she woke early to follow chimpanzee groups. At first, the chimpanzees were wary of her and kept their distance, but her patience won their trust. A key breakthrough came when she saw a chimpanzee use a twig to fish for termites — challenging the belief that only humans make and use tools. Over the years, her research revealed chimpanzees have complex social structures and feel emotions like joy and grief. She also raised awareness about protecting their habitats, threatened by deforestation and poaching. Today, in her late 80s, Goodall still travels the world advocating for wildlife conservation and runs the Jane Goodall Institute, supporting projects in over 30 countries. Her story shows curiosity and perseverance can lead to extraordinary achievements. 4. What inspired Jane Goodall to study animals? A. A college course on primates B. Her toy chimpanzee and childhood observations C. A meeting with Louis Leakey in Kenya D. A trip to Gombe Stream National Park 5. What does the underlined word “wary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. cautious B. afraid C. doubtful D. curious 6. We can infer from the passage that Louis Leakey was ______. A. A strict boss who demanded perfect results B. An open-minded person who valued potential C. A scientist who doubted women’s research abilities D. A primatologist who studied chimpanzees in Gombe 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Jane Goodall’s research changed people’s understanding of chimpanzees B The challenges Jane Goodall faced as a female scientist C. The importance of protecting chimpanzee habitats D. Jane Goodall’s life and her contributions to science and conservation C Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought great changes to life and work. Unlike traditional technology, AI can learn from data, recognize patterns, and make independent decisions — abilities once unique to humans. Widely used AI applications include natural language processing (NLP), which powers virtual assistants like Siri to understand speech and answer questions. In healthcare, AI helps doctors analyze medical images more accurately. Self-driving cars also rely on AI to detect obstacles and navigate safely, promising fewer traffic accidents. However, AI brings challenges. Privacy risks come with its collection of large amounts of personal data. Some repetitive jobs may be replaced by AI, leading to job displacement. Ensuring AI makes fair, unbiased decisions is also a key issue for developers. Despite these problems, experts believe AI’s benefits outweigh risks with proper regulation. With technological progress and thoughtful policies, AI will drive innovation, improve efficiency, and solve complex problems. Its future is not replacing humans, but working with them for a better world — this positive potential makes AI a valuable tool for progress. 8. Which is an example of NLP application? A. AI analyzing medical images B. Self-driving cars navigating C. Virtual assistants answering voice commands D. AI avoiding decision bias 9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. The challenges brought by AI technology B. The reasons why AI collects personal data C. How AI replaces repetitive human jobs D. The ways to make AI decisions fair 10. What is the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Fully critical B. Completely neutral C. Mostly positive D. Strongly doubtful 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of AI B. Types of AI Applications C. Solving AI’s Ethical Problems D. AI: Benefits, Challenges and Future D Two small white dogs appeared as I arrived at a ranch house a few miles off the highway in Hempstead, followed by John Mendola, a retired police officer. He introduced me to the dogs, Princess Ariel and Princess Jasmine. They were named for a deceased dog named Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: they are Princess’s clones. It has now been nearly thirty years since cloning mammals (哺乳动物) became possible. The technology has mainly been used to produce cattle, sheep, and pigs. However, since 2005, more than two thousand dogs have been successfully cloned. Biologically, it is not very different from that of cloned cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical (伦理的) and identity issues. There are issues of exploitation (剥削) — both of grieving owners who hope to bring back their lost pets, and of the unseen animals whose bodies are used in making a clone. There’s the issue of supply: the production of tailored dogs in a society when so many good, naturally born ones in shelters are in need of adoption. Finally, there’s an existential issue: who, exactly, is produced when a dog is cloned? Dogs are seen by most owners as a species of individuals, with distinct personalities. We keep them for companionship. As a result, we have placed our ideas of selfhood onto them, giving them preferences, fears, and moods. But, if it is dogs’ individuality that we value, how can we accept the idea that their unique and unreproducible selves can, in fact, be reproduced? As a matter of fact, among the people who have cloned their dogs, many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning. Many spoke of the original as simply “special” — but the specific nature of that specialness seemed almost impossible to be explained. Perhaps the desire was less about re-creating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal. 12. What can we learn about the two white dogs in the first paragraph? A. They were named after a princess. B. They were clones of a late dog. C. They were distinct from each other. D. They were naturally produced by Princess. 13. How is the cloning of dogs different from that of other mammals? A. It has higher success rates. B. It raises more moral concerns. C. It is technically more challenging. D. It stirs greater public curiosity. 14. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the cloning of dogs? A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Favourable. D. Disapproving. 15. Why do people desire to clone their dogs? A. To deal with the identity issue. B. To reproduce the original animal. C. To recreate a distinctive emotional bond. D. To find out the specialness of the original dog. 第二节 七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everybody lies to some degree. ___16___ However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers (弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for. ___17___ There are many signs that indicate that someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. ___18___ Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars (撒谎者) would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body. Ask questions — quickly. If you suspect you’re being lied to, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy.” explains Kang Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “ ___19___ When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.” Check for emotional “leaks” Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. ___20___ And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie. So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it. A. Listen to the voices. B. Get better at body language. C The follow-up lie is more difficult. D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G.

Her latest test — 65/100 — reddened her eyes instantly; big teardrops smudged (使模糊) the ink. She wiped her cheeks, crumpled the paper into a tight ball, and stuffed it in her desk, terrified someone might see that glaring score. Her face burned with embarrassment. Tom, her deskmate and the class’s top physics student, had quietly noticed her distress. More than once during evening study, he’d seen her frowning at formulas. After class, as classmates streamed out, Tom packed his bag but sat back down, gaze on her bowed head. “Lily,” he said softly, “Physics is a high obstacle, but running from it won’t help. Let’s go over the test step by step — I promise it’s not scary.” “I don’t want to bother you,” Lily mumbled. “It’s no bother,” Tom smiled, eyes crinkling. That afternoon, he explained complex physics concepts with simple daily examples — falling apples, light bulb circuits. For two weeks, they met at lunch and after school: he lent annotated notes and formula flashcards, quizzing her gently. Lily practiced tirelessly, and her confidence grew — she no longer froze at physics questions. When the midterm came, Lily breathed deeply, opened the paper, and felt relief — most questions felt familiar. She picked up her pen, hand steady, and wrote with a clear, focused mind. 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。 Paragraph 1: Three days later, the teacher handed out midterm papers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tom caught her eye and raised an eyebrow, smiling. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
