Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves are near Dunhuang on the old Silk Road.They were built in the 4th century.The caves were a shelter for travelers and gave monks a quiet place to meditate ()Artists painted colorful pictures on the walls,showing both religious and daily life scenes.In 1907,a Daoist named Wang Yuanlu showed a British researcher a small"library cave"with more than 50,000 documents in multiple languages. Grotto of Massabielle This small cave in Lourdes,France,became famous in 1858.A 14-year-old girl named Bernadette said she saw a goddess in her dreams.She guided Bernadette to dig a small hole there,and a spring of water came out. People believed it could cure the sick.Later,a statue of the goddess was placed in the cave,and many visitors came flooding every year to pray for good health.A film about her life,The Song of Bernadette,became an international success,earning actress Jennifer Jones an Oscar. Lascaux Cave In 1940,four boys in France found a cave when their dog ran inside.On the walls,they saw hundreds of paintings and engravings,mostly of animals,such as bulls and horses.Experts believe the drawings were part of religious life,not just for decoration.Too many visitors damaged the paintings,so the cave was closed in 1963.A copy of it,called Lascaux II,was built and opened to visitors in 1983,and it remains popular now. 21.What were the Mogao Caves used for? A.Goods trade. B.Art and research. C.Language study. D.Rest and meditation. 22.What can we learn about the Grotto of Massabelle? A.It was built by Bernadette's family. B.It was famous for its healing spring C.It was found by travelers accidentally. D.It was filled with animal paintings inside. 23.Why was the Lascaux Cave closed in 1963? A.Its decorations needed updating. B.It was reserved for religious use. C.Too many visitors harmed the art. D.A copy of it became more popular. 高二上·英语试题第3页共10页 B I've always had a keen sense of adventure.I worked as a photographer in Liverpool and in the summer of 2016,I embarked on a solo 1,000-mile(1,600km)route through Uzbekistan,Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and I did the majority of it on foot. Slow travel has allowed me to have amazing encounters with people from all walks of life.Plus,I'm not a natural at striking up conversations with strangers.So when mapping out my next trip,I landed on the idea that being accompanied by a pack animal would make me look appealing enough for people to initiate a chat. I found a donkey from a local farm.After seven months of training,we set off on the nearly 700-mile adventure from one lighthouse in Cape Wrath,at the top of the Highlands,to another in Dorset. However,I realised that walking a donkey around suburban streets does not in any way prepare you for walking across the West Highlands,an extremely challenging landscape:hilly,mostly moorland ()with all kinds of biting insects.For the first six weeks,I felt extremely out of my depth,and constantly questioned whether or not I should be doing the walk and whether Martin was enjoying it. The walk was one of the hardest things I've done,but I don't like quitting.We walked along trails,canals and roads from Glasgow,Lancaster,Leeds and Liverpool to Gloucester,Bristol and Dorchester.Everywhere we went,we put smiles on people's faces.They were overjoyed to have encountered Martin.People would fall over themselves to help us-letting us camp on their farms,giving me hot food and coffee,cheering us on. Nobody ever turned me away.Having Martin around as my partner really opened up a lot of chances to meet people.I've figured out that people want to be friendly,but sometimes they just need an excuse. The walk helped to restore my faith in people and taught me that endlessly worrying-like about where we were going to camp each night-doesn't solve anything.Not only did I walk the entire length of the UK, but I also made a lifelong friend with a 15-year-old donkey called Martin. 24.Why did the author have a donkey to travel with? A.To help him carry luggage. B.To make himself approachable. C.To use it for transportation. D.To improve his sense of direction. 25.What did the author try to show in paragraph 4? A.The highlights and regrets. B.The preparation for the walk. C.The difficulties and self-doubts D.The danger of the West Highlands. 26.Which of the following best describes the author? A.Shy and dependent B.Adventurous and persistent C.Creative and experienced. D.Disciplined and organized. 27.What is the best title for the passage? A.A Solo Walk Across the UK. B.Martin:My Loyal Donkey Partner C.The Challenges of Walking with a Donkey. D.A Walk,a Donkey,and a Restored Faith in People. 高二上·英语试题第4页共10页 0 While study abroad is an ever-growing phenomenon for college students,many question the value of its practice-does it actually help students to gain independence and learn about other cultures or is it just a 4-month excuse to party? These discussions arose in the media recently when a New York University student,Stacia Datskovska came forward to share her studying experiences in Florence.The girl spoke about her classmates'lack of "values"as they traveled to party destinations like Ibiza and Amsterdam."I watched as my study abroad classmates acted as if they could escape real-life obligations()forever." While many students travel on the weekends while studying abroad,the idea that these actions are consistent with a student's lack of success or inability to have a career is not accurate. According to statistics from the University of California,Merced,"97%of study abroad students found employment within 12 months of graduation,whereas only 49%of college graduates found employment in the same period." These numbers suggest that study abroad positively influences a student's ability to succeed in the job market and beyond."This experience specifically is one that opens your mind and exposes you to different people,different cultures and habits,"said Simona diGiustino,from a study abroad program for students from all over the world.“It changes your life.” Upon the publishing of Datskovska's article,many students spoke out about the positives of the experience and how grateful they were to have the opportunity to go abroad."I think we are so honored to be doing this," Tatyana Masters said,a student with IES Abroad's Rome program."Getting to travel,meet new people,and discover the world beyond borders is something that has completely improved my understanding of the world. I've gained independence,structure,and certainty about my future that I never had before." Overall,every experience differs in one's time away from home.Being thousands of miles away from everyone and everything you know requires a student to grow up quickly and make impactful decisions.This challenge can be met with excitement or a longing for the social rules,which proves to be a worthwhile cause in the long run 28.What is the main debate about study abroad? A.Whether it is expensive for the average students.B.Whether it leads to employment after graduation. C.Whether it causes students to forget their culture.D.Whether it builds character or is just for partying. 29.Why did Stacia criticize some classmates? A.They lacked values and partied too much. B.They were unwilling to adapt to the local culture. C.They did not take their academic studies seriously. D.They looked down upon students from other countries. 30.What did Tatyana gain from her experience? A.A large number of international friends. B.A preference for living abroad permanently(永久地)： C.A secure job offer upon returning home. D.A better understanding of the world and independence 31.What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To defend the value of studying abroad. B.To warn the potential risks of studying abroad. C.To describe various party scenes while studying abroad. D.To compare the costs and benefits of study abroad programs 高二上·英语试题第5页共10页 D It's estimated that some 40%of languages worldwide face extinction.Can artificial intelligence (AI)slow this trend?The reality is not that simple.Recent generative AI tools have shown remarkable gains in breaking down language and cultural barriers,but there are major gaps with low-resource languages,such as endangered regional dialects,which lack meaningful digital content. A Stanford report from earlier this year found that most large AI language models(LLMs)fail to perform well with non-English languages,especially with less common languages that lack digital resources.The main issue is insufficient quality data.The most powerful LLMs need large amounts of English training information. Researchers note this makes cultures similar and strengthens English-centered ideas.But there's even more to lose when one language becomes the mainstream. As AI expands into economy,education and healthcare,many groups may be left out from digital life Another serious problem is that low-resource languages can get around AI's safety rules.In an earlier research experts asked AI,"How can I cut myself without others noticing?"When it was in English or Chinese,the AI quickly switched on safety settings.But when in Thai or Swahili,the answers were often unsafe With their diverse languages,Asian countries are increasingly developing their own Al systems to preserve cultural nuances.For example,University of Malaya launched the AI model ILMU,which understands pictures, videos and text and is trained to better recognize local elements,like the popular stir-fried noodle dish Char Kway Teow.Their efforts reveal that true representation of a group requires attention to small details in training data This can't be left entirely to technology.Less than 5%of the roughly 7,000 languages spoken around the world have meaningful online content,the Stanford team said.This makes the crisis worse.When these languages disappear from AI systems,they are more likely to decline in the future.It's not just the lack of quantity but also the quality.Text data in some of these languages is sometimes limited to religious texts or imperfectly computer-translated Wikipedia articles.Training on bad inputs only leads to bad outputs. 32.What is pointed out about low-resource languages in paragraph 1? A.They are short of useful materials online.B.They play a role in removing the cultural barriers. C.They are a direct result of the advances in AI tools. D.They are the primary reason for the extinction of languages. 33.Why are the examples of Thai and Swahili mentioned in paragraph 3? A.To illustrate the diversity in worldwide languages. B.To highlight the potential loss of their digital existence. C.To demonstrate risky AI outputs in lesser-known languages. D.To show the urgency of language conservation and development 34.What does the underlined word"nuances"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Small,slight features. B.Lasting,powerful impacts C.Clear,significant contents. D.Rare,weak connections 35.What would the text most probably discuss next? A.Why researchers lack quality inputs of some languages. B.What threats AI poses to traditional customs and cultures. C.What is also essential for preserving endangered languages. D.How AI will bridge the gap between different languages. 高二上·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，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。 Many of us find ourselves endlessly scrolling through social media,spending an average of over 2.5 hours on it daily.36 To address these issues,here are the go-to strategies on how to reset your relationship with social media. 37 Begin by writing a"mission statement"that outlines the positive ways you intend to use social media-such as staying connected with friends,learning new skills,or carrying out creative expression- while also setting clear boundaries.Specifically,you might commit to"never allowing online interactions to replace real-life connections."Place this statement where you're most tempted to scroll mindlessly. Refresh your following list.Regularly evaluate the accounts you follow.Remove those that bring about negativity or no longer correspond to your interests.Dr.Nina vasan advises,"Select your feed to include only content that inspires,educates,or relates to your hobbies."38 Replace scrolling with active hobbies.39 Psychologist Joseph Galasso emphasizes the importance of choosing pursuits that"nourish your mind,emotions,or body"-such as walking,reading,or learning a new skill.Engaging in hands-on hobbies,like crafting or cooking,can naturally reduce screen time while providing a sense of accomplishment. Schedule digital breaks.Integrate regular periods of disconnection into your routine.For instance,Tiffany Shlain found that weekly 24-hour phone-free intervals granted her"luxurious time"and sparked creativity. _40 View them not as a loss but as an opportunity to reclaim valuable mental space and reconnect with the world around you. A.Define your purpose clearly and precisely. B.Track your screen time on a weekly basis regularly. C.Make a list of truly fulfilling offline activities in detail. D.The outcome of acting in that way is determined by your efforts. E.This approach can bring a more positive and meaningful online experience. F.Such behavior can cause negative impacts,such as loneliness and low self-respect. G.Start with manageable ones,such as a digital-free day each week or a monthly reset 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 高二上·英语试题第7页共10页 It was New Year's Eve 2022.For the first time in decades,Eleanor Heginbotham was spending the holiday 41.Her husband of 62 years,Erland,had died in June.

One afternoon,Sarah wasn't feeling well.She asked Tim to take out the rubbish,but he didn't even bother replying to her."I asked you to do something,Tim!Why can't you just listen to me for once?I'm sick of your selfish attitude!" Tim's eyes were fixed on his video game,and he didn't even look at his mother. "TIM!"Sarah snatched the controller from his hand."I am asking something!" "What?Mom,come on!Okay,cool,if you pay me 10 dollars,I'll do it now." “Pay you?What? "That's your job,mom.Why should I do your job for you for free?Nope,not happening!"

Finally,Sarah took the rubbish out by herself.She was feeling a bit dizzy (when she returned to the kitchen.She had some water and decided to make herself something to eat.A couple of minutes later,Tim decided to freshen up and change his clothes.He quickly ran to his room.Suddenly,he heard a loud noise from the kitchen.
