B Christopher C.Grinter has spent much of his life surrounded by insects,though not in the way most people imagine.His work helps support the California All-Taxa Biodiversity Inventory(CalATBI),an effort to document every species in the state before they disappear. Grinter's fascination began far from California.Growing up in suburban Chicago,he watched butterflies dance through his backyard and wanted to know their names."It all started with butterflies,"he says.His parents took him to a members'night at the Field Museum,where he saw an insect collection for the first time."I had my mind blown."He began volunteering there,labeling and databasing specimens ()and eventually started his career in the field. When CalATBI started,Grinter's team collected hundreds of thousands of insects, covering tens of thousands of miles.Their fieldwork was unlike anything seen in a generation.It produced scientific treasure and also the occasional misadventure-like the time their vehicle sank into Mojave Desert sand.They waited for rescue in 100-degree heat, but,as he recalls,"couldn't stop the sampling." Today,genetic sequencing (is routine."DNA barcoding as a technique isn't on the cutting edge anymore,and in the best way-it has become routine,"Grinter says.His team integrates genomic(基因组的)analysis into specimen digitization,creating a DNA reference library for insects. Still,Grinter insists that data alone is not enough."The next key step is to collect and keep specimens in a proper way,which makes scientific research possible."Museums,he says,are like "storehouses of life"-they keep scientific evidence safe over time and ensure that experiments can be repeated and confirmed. 高三英语第4页共12页 What gives him hope are the people joining the effort."Modern science doesn't happen alone in basements,"he says."It's teams of people working and supporting each other."For Grinter,that collaboration,and the interest that drives it,may be as vital to biodiversity as the species themselves. 24.Why is the author's childhood experience mentioned in paragraph 2? A.To explain his career roots. B.To stress his family background. C.To show his early interest. D.To highlight the uniqueness of insects 25.What did Grinter's team do when CalATBI started? A.They visited special insect libraries.B.They sought broad recognition. C.They conducted extensive fieldwork.D.They learnt from contemporary scientists. 26.What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A.The cultural function of museums.B.The importance of storing specimens. C.Specimens'safety problems. D.Research's reliance on museums. 27.Which of the following is true of Grinter's story? A.Practice makes perfect. B.A friend in need in a friend indeed. C.Every dog has its day. D.Curiosity is the mother of success. C Could you imagine being able to"feel"the images on your screen?UCSB researchers have made this sci-fi-like idea a reality.They've developed a display where pixels ( physically rise off the surface when activated by laser light(微光)， Even our most advanced screens today have a limitation:they're flat.We never quite feel what we see. In 2021,UCSB professor Yon Visell investigated this very question:could light be made to create a sensation that could be felt through touch?He saw a breakthrough in late 2022.A single pixel rose upward under a flash of laser light,sending a pulse (that was very much noticeable to Professor Visell's fingertips. At the heart of this invention are tiny pixels,which are tiny cells built with a thin film stretched above a small air cavity ()When a quick pulse of laser light hits a pixel,the film heats up,causing the trapped air to expand,making the surface swell upward in just 2 to 100 milliseconds,by about a millimeter(0.04 inch). As a sighted person,it does initially feel like something new and unusual.But the more I think about it,the more it feels like it could have the most significant benefit to people who explore the world through touch.This begins to look like a sort of"animated Braille (动画盲文)”and tells a story in real-time.It could make digital learning faster and richer for blind users. 高三英语第5页共12页 Touch and sight have always lived in separate digital worlds.We input with touch,and consume outputs with sight.With this new invention,this separation may just be narrowing. As the UCSB researchers put it,someday soon,anything you see,you may also feel. 28.What makes the new display different from the screens today? A.It sends out laser light. B.Its pixels can expand upward. C.It rises off fingertips. D.Its pulses are unnoticeable. 29.Which aspect of the invention is talked about in paragraph 4? A.Its working principle. B.Its daily application. C.Its obvious advantages. D.Its potential challenges. 30.Who will benefit most from the new display according to the author? A.UCSB researchers. B.Adventurous sighted people. C.The visually disabled. D.The digital enthusiasts. 31.What does the author imply about the invention in the last paragraph? A.It may help replace sight with touch.B.It may separate input from output. C.It may help feel what is usually seen.D.It may enlarge gaps between senses. D The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots.These toys are flexible enough to conduct limited conversations with children and to respond to them just as they finish talking.Are these interactions enough to provide the "personalized education"one company claimed?Will toys like Curio's Grem help or harm children's language development? The more language that is addressed to children,the bigger their vocabulary will be. But these vocabulary words are not learned because they were spoken out of context,as current Al-infused toys do,but from caregivers who make the words come alive. Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children's language outcomes.In fact,if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers,these toys may impede children's language learning. When a caregiver describes something that a child is interested in,children can learn its name.A chatbot is less able to teach children about their environments because it cannot see and describe a toy the child is holding.Even if it could see,it does not have prior knowledge about the toys a child owns.Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words-they grow from hearing words in conversations that capture the child's attention. 高三英语第6页共12页 Finally,children are also seeking further information about the sounds of their language.The caregivers'repetition of the word emphasizes its name while also giving the child more information about the sound of the word.If the child mispronounces the word, the caregiver will likely emphasize the correct pronunciation.Commercially available chatbots can't reliably do this Quality language expands on what toddlers(学步的儿童)know,takes the child's perspective and past history into consideration,and responds to children's questions.We have seen some work that shows social robots can help preschool children learn vocabulary, and that conversational agents who ask older children to respond to educational television programs can help children learn.However,we need more research to know the effects these robots have on babies'and toddlers'language learning.Until that happens,we believe that the humans in toddlers'lives are responsible for conducting the conversations that grow children's language.As a researcher and his teammates state,"Our babies shouldn't be lab mice for toy companies." 32.What is the function of the first paragraph? A.To point out a problem. B.To present a phenomenon. C.To put forward the viewpoint. D.To introduce the topic. 33.What does the underlined word "impede"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Prevent. B.Facilitate. C.Secure. D.Maintain. 34.What can a caregiver do to help children learn a language? A.Provide interaction in context. B.Emphasize their names. C.Weaken their attention. D.Repeat grammar rules. 35.Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A.Is It Necessary to Interact with Caregivers? B.Will AI-Powered Toys Be a New Toy Trend? C.Are Caregivers the Secret to Kids'Overall Development? D.Can AI-Powered Toys Help Toddlers Learn Language? 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。 StoryTree is a website for sharing,encouraging,and recording personal and family memories and history.It can be done online or offline,in real-time,or in your own time,all in a fun and simple new way.36 All of them work well together to support each other. 高三英语第7页共12页 37 StoryTree is different.It lets you "tap"those photos and stories into your digital journal and topical memory books.Everyone belonging to your StoryTree can add and read the entries in real time,or at any time! Additionally,once a week StoryTree sends everyone in a StoryTree group an interesting prompt (into their StoryChat as well as to their emails,to help bring back memories and encourage reflection and discussion.38 (But if your brother tells a big fish story,you will surely want to correct it with the true version!) And if you prefer to save your stories and memories in an additional"private journal", you can simply create a synchronized personal Story Tree that only you can see. 39 In fact,create as many StoryTrees as you like,and synchronize as many as you like too! 40 It's like having a kind and curious author come to your home whenever you want and have her interview you to compose your personal or family biography.Who doesn't want to have a personal history book written for them?There are over 700 questions in five categories the StoryBook interviewer can ask you,all about your life and family,at your leisure. The fourth and final key tool is StoryBox.It can hold all your old photos,videos, memorable documents,talks,artwork,schoolwork to either store or to sort out later. A.StoryTree does all of this through four key tools. B.Memories can only be shared and preserved alone. C.Each person can read it and respond,or not,as they like. D.StoryTree can also serve as an"automated life-story writer". E.Or just use StoryTree as a private journal without any group Tree at all. F.It can record whatever you put into your group StoryTree-automatically! G.Most apps let shared photos and life experiences be"Here today,gone tomorrow." 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。 Last week,my decades-old fiddle leaf ficus tree was dying.I texted my neighbor Karen.She texted me back 41 to teach me how to make the yellow return to green.I was 42 to have a neighbor who cared about my plants. 高三英语第8页共12页 When my family moved here in 2017,Karen created a detailed map of the homes surrounding us,so I could become43 with the other neighbors.Karen wanted to help create a sense of 44,and she wasn't going to leave it up to 45.

Each day,Eddie hurried to Luis's house for practice,struggling with the heavy accordion case while worrying about Ruben.Though a gifted guitarist who picked up songs quickly and loved playing with the band,Ruben hated practicing alone.He was always late, and his lack of solo(单a独的)practice led to constant mistakes一a growing problem for the trio(三重奏). Their lives changed when Luis handed Eddie an envelope from the Tejano Festival:an invitation to perform in just two months.The boys celebrated wildly,but Eddie's joy was mixed with anxiety,hoping the opportunity would motivate Ruben to practice.That night, Eddie shared the news with his family.His father,a former festival winner,presented a trophy(奖杯)with“First Place'”written on it and encouraged him,“You belong there and will shine."Eddie admitted his worry about Ruben,who was too talented and dear a friend to replace.His father advised,"Find out why he won't practice alone and help him." At their next practice,Ruben messed up the festival song at the very beginning.He claimed sore fingers from building a hut(简陋的小屋)，but Luis accused him of skipping practice.Ruben got annoyed,and Eddie was angry.Following his father's advice,Eddie asked Ruben why he didn't play at home as he should.Ruben admitted,"My guitar sounds lonely alone,and I can't focus." Upon learning where Ruben's problem lay,Eddie decided to take immediate action to make practice fun for Ruben.On the way to Luis's,Eddie came up with a plan:practice together at Ruben's house daily.Luis agreed and they ordered Ruben's favorite pizza for a surprise. 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。 高三英语·第11页共12页 With pizza in hand,Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben's door.
