DeepSeek claimed higher energy efficiency but also faced doubts, keeping AI’s energy use a persistent concern. Here is the daily energy comparison between ChatGPT and Google search. Operation Type Energy Per Search Daily Energy Use ChatGPT Response 0.0029 kWh 621.4 MWh Google Search 0.0003 kWh 10.8 MWh Given the energy consumption, AI adoption won’t slow as firms view it as essential, so a smart strategy is needed to employ AI’s benefits while meeting sustainable goals. Luckily, industry experts are developing various solutions to address this challenge. The AI-related energy risks have gained visibility, triggering public awareness and action. Yet focusing on energy alone cannot break the cycle of increasing environmental and operational pressures. “To address AI-energy risks and unlock long-term value, companies and investors must move beyond their narrow roles in the AI value chain. They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment,” notes Lauren Smart in World Economic Forum. 1. How much more daily energy does ChatGPT consume than Google Search? A. 632.2 MWh. B. 621.4 MWh. C. 610.6 MWh. D. 10.8 MWh. 2. Which of the following is an effective measure to cut AI energy use? A. Adopting energy-saving chips. B. Selecting larger models. C. Establishing more data centers. D. Encouraging firm competitions. 3. According to Lauren Smart, AI companies should adopt a mission that________. A. generates shared benefit B. gains public recognition C. follows existing regulations D. maximizes investor’s profits B For years, as an art influencer, I lived online, documenting all aspects of my life and desiring more followers on Instagram. A constant panic over lost connections the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia. Then, everything changed. Only after giving up my smartphone did I realize how distracted and anxious I had become. Withdrawal was difficult, but as months passed, subtle changes accumulated. When the Internet wasn’t immediately accessible, the urge to use it faded away, and parts of me that had been buried under years of digital noise surfaced. Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present. Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there? or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination. It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there. 4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account? A. A loss of connections. B. A sense of personal burnout. C. A near miss of an accident. D. A decline of online followers. 5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2? A. Absorbed in new hobbies. B. Stuck in digital withdrawal. C. Focused on quality moments. D. Built on health and productivity. 6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone? A. He has to rely on computers. B. Real-time contact is much needed. C. Close relationships are hard to maintain. D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health. B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility. C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence. D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency. C A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.” The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours. The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!” Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood. However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications. 8. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned? A. To explain how the brain processes smell. B. To introduce a newly-invented tracking device. C. To show a link between breathing and depression. D. To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern. 9. What does the underlined word mean? A. Connected. B. Powered. C. Controlled. D. Trained. 10. What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood? A. Changes in breath cure anxiety. B. Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing. C. Their exact relationship remains unclear. D. Breathing is responsible for negative mood. 11. What is the main finding of this research? A. Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health. B. Breathing patterns link to identity and health. C. A groundbreaking device reveals mental health. D. Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods. D In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught. Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea: procrastination (拖延) might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的)thinking rather than“seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy. Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time. In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers. Settlers are often labelled as copycats, but this stereotype misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which mostly featured basic sports games. A settler, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System. It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing. 12. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding? A. He who hesitates is lost. B. More speed, less effect. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. No pains, no gains. 13. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To support a viewpoint. B. To correct a misconception. C. To introduce a practice. D. To promote a phenomenon. 14. What plays a key role in settlers’ success based on Golder’s findings? A. Doing effective marketing. B. Mastering strategic timing. C. Employing high technology. D. Breaking existing rules. 15. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A. Seize the Day: The Early Bird Principle! B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Settlers. C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment. D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying? 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。 A trip to the supermarket has now become more than a simple shopping experience. In fact, it is now carefully designed psychological persuasion. Shopkeepers know how to create an environment that makes customers buy more than they planned. For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food. ____16____ Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. ____17____ If a certain item seems popular, customers naturally believe it is worth buying. With the help of modern technology, some supermarkets now provide real-time purchasing information.As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product. ____18____ This model, known as a “swarm move”, increases sales without offering discounts simply because it makes customers feel confident about choosing what everyone else buys. ____19____ When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags. Even being alone, they think they are shopping independently, and they are still influenced by others’ choices. All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making. ____20____ A. The idea behind this approach is simple. B. Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket. C. The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online. D. This method reassures shoppers that they are making the“right” choice. E. People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping. F. As a result, these items sell more quickly than cheaper, less visible products. G. That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd. 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。 The morning sun had just begun to rise over Siblyback Lake when Aimee, Britney, and Abi started their 18-mile training run for the London Marathon.

Right, Anjali? Why don’t you show us since you’re the star student,” Deepak taunted (奚落). Anjali was confused. She wasn’t trying to show off. She was just playing tabla (印度塔不拉鼓), like everyone else. And why was Deepak being so mean lately? Is it because tabla is a boy’s thing? She didn’t care that people thought it was a boys’ instrument. Anjali knew there was no such thing. She danced her fingers across the tabla to perform the composition in confusion. “Ugh!” Anjali heard someone groan, and she stopped playing. “I guess I don’t know it that well after all,” Anjali said sheepishly to the teacher, Mr. Zakir. Her stomach was doing flip-flops. That wasn’t true. Not even a little. Mr. Zakir’s eyes narrowed. He looked like he was about to say something, but changed his mind. “The recital (演奏会) is next week, everyone. Keep practicing. I will be announcing who will get to perform onstage with me at my next concert!” Anjali had dreamed of a moment like that. She wanted to win the opportunity, but she needed to sort things straight with Deepak first. As the class was dismissed, Anjali hurried over to Deepak. When she finally made eye contact with him, he purposely looked away and walked off. The next day at school, Anjali overheard Deepak whispering to Mary. “People are only interested because she’s the only girl in tabla class and they want her to feel special. She’s not that good—” Anjali was furious. She excused herself and went to the bathroom. She took some deep breaths but couldn’t relax. Her heart was pounding: “It’s not my fault that people make a big deal about a girl playing tabla. I make mistakes too, but I work really hard. Maybe he should too. He should be less mean and practice more.” “If I play in this concert, no one will talk to me again. He will turn everyone against me.” “I don’t want to see a tabla or hear a tabla or play a tabla EVER AGAIN!!” Anjali yelled at the mirror. It was quiet for a moment. She believed it was one of her darkest days ever. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Stepping out of the bathroom, Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the recital, Deepak walked up to Anjali. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 成都天府中学2025-2026学年度上期期末测试（高三） 英语 考试时间：120分钟 满分：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纸上。 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。每段对话仅读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Good morning, everyone. For the past 50 years, the highest paying jobs have centered on knowledge work, especially in science and technology, but the rapid rise of generative AI is beginning to change that. AI excels at processing data and handling repetitive tasks with speed and accuracy. However, AI still struggles with tasks that require deep reasoning, empathy, or dealing with unknown variables. That’s why soft skills will become more important than ever. Collaboration, empathy, emotional awareness and creative problem solving are crucial in the era of AI. In short, the future belongs not to those who compete with machines, but to those who use AI as a tool to enhance their own humanity. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One Possible Version Paragraph 1: Stepping out of the bathroom, Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall. One of them illustrated with several instruments and a quote “Never dim your light.” For that very moment, Anjali thought about how she was mesmerized the first time she saw someone playing tabla, by the beautiful sounds he was creating with his hands. She knew that tabla was meant for her. When the day of the recital finally arrived, Anjali was determined to do her very best, regardless of the outcome. She was not going to let anyone make her feel bad, whether it was for being good at something or for being a girl. And as expected, she delivered a flawless performance. Paragraph 2: After the recital, Deepak walked up to Anjali. “Very impressive.” He remarked awkwardly that he was just jealous because tabla should be a boy’s instrument. Anjali shrugged, “You know there is no such thing.” As Anjali took one last look at the stage, she felt such a relief. Under the spotlight was the set of tabla, glittering on the stage just as she did a few minutes earlier. Among countless compliments and congratulations from the audience, Anjali heard a little sweet voice, “Bravo, Anjali!!” She turned to find a little girl looking up at her. “I didn’t know girls could play tabla,” she said. “Girls can do everything boys do,” Anjali beamed, “Never dim your light”. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
