B 圜 When Lila Mae turned 17 last spring,the one gift she wanted most wasn't a 如 new phone or a concert ticket.It was a professional microphone.For months,the British teenager had been recording audio books for her 78-year-old grandmother, 部 Iris,who lost most of her eyesight after a stroke in 2024.Iris,a lifelong book 长 lover,had grown deeply lonely when she could no longer hold a novel or read the local newspaper,and Lila's quiet,steady voice quickly became her favorite part of 区 the day. At first,Lila only recorded the books Iris loved most-old detective stories 洲 and poetry collections.But after sharing a short clip of her recording on a local 南 community social media group,she received dozens of messages from other families with visually impaired relatives,begging for her help."I realized my 般 grandma wasn't the only one feeling left out,"Lila said in an interview."Reading is such a personal thing,and so many people had lost that connection to the stories they loved.” By the summer of 2025,Lila had built a team of 25 volunteer readers from her school and local college.They worked with the town's public library to create a free audio book library specifically for visually impaired people in the area, recording everything from popular novels to local history books and even recipe collections.What made the project special,however,was that they added personal touches:each recording opened with a warm greeting,and many ended with a short,encouraging message for the listener. In November 2025,Lila was awarded the UK's Young Community Hero 高二英语第4页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP Award for her work.But for Lila,the best reward wasn't the prize.It was the handwritten letter she received from Iris,which her neighbor had helped write. “You didn't just give me my books back,”it read.“You gave me my joy back.” Today,her project has expanded to three more towns,and over 300 visually impaired people have benefited from the free audio books."Kindness doesn't have to be big,”Lila said.“It just has to be consistent..” 24.What was the primary motivation for Lila to start recording audio books? A.To win the UK's Young Community Hero Award. B.To share her recordings on the community social media C.To record audio books for her grandma with poor eyesight. D.To build a volunteer reading team from her school for the elderly. 园 25.Why was Lila's audio book project unique? 如 A.It was free for all people in the town. B.It only provided books for elderly listeners. 部 C.It was created with the help of local famous writers. D.It was more personal and caring than a standard library. 长 26.What is the main message the author conveys through Lila's story? 区 A.Technological skills are essential for helping the elderly. B.Young people are often more compassionate than the older. 数 C.A simple kind act performed consistently can have a profound impact. D.Winning awards is the most important recognition for community service. 都 27.Which of the following is the best title for the text? 脚 A.The Life of a Visually Impaired Elderly Woman. B.The Importance of Reading for the Poor-eyesight People. C.How to Win the Young Community Hero Award. D.Teen's Audio Books Bring Joy to the Visually Impaired. C Recent years have seen a major increase in humanity's efforts to explore deep space.Countries around the world have sent advanced probes,earried out research on the Moon and other planets,and built space stations for long-term use.These ambitious projects have not only deepened our understanding of the universe but have also led to new technologies in areas such as materials science, life support systems,and deep-space communication-many of which are now used on Earth.For instance,lightweight materials developed for spacecraft are 高二英语第5页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP now used in everyday products,and water recycling systems designed for astronauts have helped improve clean water access in remote areas. The engineering behind these missions shows how complex systems can be designed to work in the most challenging conditions.Spacecraft must travel huge distances,operate on their own in extreme environments with high radiation and temperatures,and send data across millions of kilometers with little delay.Unlike earlier space exploration,which often involved short visits and symbolic achievements,today's missions focus on enduring presence and continuous scientific study.This change reflects a new stage in how humans relate to space: no longer just visitors,but responsible users who aim to use space resources carefully and sustainably.Scientists are now exploring the possibility of mining asteroids()for rare metals and establishing permanent bases on the Moon, which could serve as launch points for deeper space missions. However,this growth in space activity has also brought unintended problems.Orbital debris-fragments ranging from old satellites to tiny paint chips-now threatens both crewed and uncrewed spacecraft.Traveling at high speeds,even small fragments can cause serious damage.The space environment, once seen as limitless and durable,is now understood to be a shared resource that needs careful management. Many experts agree that peaceful use of space requires strong international cooperation.Creating shared rules and binding agreements to protect the space environment is not just wise but necessary.It ensures that space remains a common heritage for all people,rather than a resource controlled by only a few. As more countries and private companies enter the space race,the urgency of such agreements becomes even more pressing. 28.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To tell the development of space exploration. B.To emphasize the importance of space projects. C.To list the new technologies in space exploration. D.To show how space exploration benefits life on Earth. 29.The author mentions "orbital debris"primarily to A.explain a technical problem that scientists are close to solving B.argue that space exploration should be temporarily suspended C.illustrate the unintended negative consequences of space activities D.compare the risks of space travel with those of land transportation 高二英语第6页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 30.Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A.Space exploration has solved most of Earth's technological problems. B.The benefits of space travel outweigh its risks and should continue. C.Space activities bring both technological progress and new challenges. D.Space exploration requires international cooperation due to safety concerns. D In an era when artificial intelligence can generate images in seconds,why would anyone spend months learning to embroider (by hand?These questions challenge young people considering careers in traditional crafts.Yet paradoxically,as technology advances,handmade creations may become more valuable,not less. Consider Zhang,a 21-year-old digital media major who recently won a prize for designing cultural products inspired by the Palace Museum.She used AI as an exploratory tool during her creative process.The software helped her generate stylistic variations quickly.But she didn't stop there.She then spent weeks refining designs manually,ensuring cultural accuracy and emotional depth that algorithms (alone could not achieve."When I studied elements of the Palace Museum,I deepened my understanding of why they existed and how to express their meaning through modern design,"Zhang explains.The AI provided possibilities;human judgment selected among them. This collaboration between human and machine represents a growing agreement among experts:technology should not replace creativity but expand its possibilities.Gao Yang,a competition judge,notes,"AI can quickly generate stylistic variations,but designers must focus on emotional tone and cultural logic."The key lies in applying humanistic thinking to guide digital tools. Crafts carry something machines cannot copy:human story.When Padruk Tendhar,a 25-year-old Tibetan designer,restores classical costumes,he is not just reproducing patterns.He is recovering meaning-the dignity conveyed by a wider waistline,the elegance surrounding the face in traditional silhouettes( )His designs emerge from years of studying art archaeology and understanding why ancestors created things the way they did. Some worry that as younger generations embrace tradition,authenticity might be lost.When traditional patterns appear on thermal cups,are they being 高二英语第7页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP respected or commercialized?Yet defenders of innovation argue that traditions have always evolved.The embroideries admired in museums today were once contemporary designs.What matters is not preserving forms unchanged but maintaining connections-between past and present,between maker and material. This perspective explains why young people turn to traditional crafts even as technology advances.In university clubs across China,students gather to learn papercutting,woodcarving,and folk music.Their motivation isn't practical-few will become professional artisans.Instead,they seek something technology cannot provide:tangible connection to human continuity.As one participant put it after learing from a master woodcarver,"When I hold the tool he held for sixty years, I feel time differently.The wood speaks of patience,of hands that came before." 圜 In an age of instant everything,that may be tradition's most precious gift. 31.What role did AI play in Zhang's creative process? 铷 A.It served as a tool to explore stylistic possibilities. B.It autonomously produced the designs that won the competition. 散 C.It was used primarily to test consumer preferences before production. 长 D.It removed Zhang's need to study the Palace Museum's cultural elements. 32.Why does the author mention Padruk Tendhar's work? K A.To show that young Tibetans prefer modern fashion over tradition. 数 B.To prove that Tibetan designs have become popular only recently. C.To explain that traditional crafts carry cultural meaning beyond patterns. D.To suggest that restoring classical costumes requires hard work and knowledge. 33.The underlined word "tangible"most probably means something that 阳 A.exists in digital form B.can be touched or felt physically C.can be understood by the mind D.continues through generations 34.What is the author's main argument in the passage? A.AI's assistance in design is the key to preserving traditional crafts. B.Young people are embracing crafts with the help of digital tools. C.Human cultural understanding remains essential in design in the era of AI. D.AI is superior to humans in generating creative designs for cultural products.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that Turkish high school students who had access to ChatGPT while doing practice math problems did worse on a math test compared with students who didn't have access to ChatGPT.Those with ChatGPT solved 48 percent more of the practice problems correctly,but they ultimately scored 17 percent worse on a test of the topic that the students were learning. A third group of students had access to a revised version of ChatGPT that functioned more like a tutor.This chatbot was programmed to provide hints without directly giving the answer.The students who used it did spectacularly better on the practice problems,solving 27 percent more of them correctly compared with students who did their practice work without any high-tech aids. But on a test afterwards,these AI-tutored students did no better.Students who just did their practice problems the old fashioned way-on their own-matched their test scores. The researchers titled their paper,"Generative AI Can Harm Learning,"to make clear to parents and educators that the current crop of freely available AI chatbots can "substantially prevent learing."Even a fine-tuned version of ChatGPT designed to mimic a tutor doesn't necessarily help. The researchers believe the problem is that students are using the chatbot as a"crutch."When they analyzed the questions that students typed into ChatGPT, students often simply asked for the answer.Students were not building the skills that come from solving the problems themselves. ChatGPTs errors also may have been a contributing factor.The chatbot only answered the math problems correctly half of the time.Its arithmetic computations were wrong8 percent of the time,but the bigger problem was that its step-by-step 高二英语第10页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP approach for how to solve a problem was wrong 42 percent of the time.The tutoring version of ChatGPT was directly fed the correct solutions and these errors were minimized. ChatGPT also seems to produce overconfidence.In surveys that accompanied the experiment,students said they did not think that ChatGPT caused them to leam less even though they had.Students with the AI tutor thought they had done significantly better on the test even though they did not.(It's also another good reminder to all of us that our perceptions of how much we've learned are often wrong.) ChatGPT is not the first technology to present a tradeoff in education. Typewriters and computers reduce the need for handwriting.Calculators reduce the need for arithmetic.When students have access to ChatGPT,they might answer more problems correctly,but learn less.Getting the right result to one problem won't help them with the next one. 40.What was the main finding about students who used ChatGPT for math practice? 41.Besides misuse,what other factors may affect the learning outcomes of the students who use ChatGPT? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >When students use ChatGPT to solve problems,they might get more correct answers and learn more. 43.How can you ensure you are still learning rather than just getting answers when using AI tools for schoolwork?(In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) (见学枚自主命题部分) 高二英语第11页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 2025一2026学年度第二学期期中练习 高二英语 班级： 姓名： 第三部分第二节(20分)： 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你从学校国际部网站上看到一则招募通知：下个月在 北京将举办国际中学生科技创新论坛(International Middle School Tech Innovation Forum),现招募学生志愿者担任“论坛接待助理”(Reception Assistant)。请你用英文写 一封电子邮件，表达你想申请该职位的意愿。 内容包括：1.申请理由：2.个人相关优势。 注意：1.词数100左右：2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Sir or Madam, Yours, Li Hua 第12页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫猫ApP
