Suddenly,his daughter cried "Look!"Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away,coming down As the plane disappeared behind the trees,Gelinne,a former sailor,realized it would land in the river.Without hesitation,he ran down to the waterfront.The plane had slid to a stop on the broad,frozen river,far from shore,sinking.The pilot was standing on the wing.Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the ice water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to.take any chances walking on it.So he and his son,John,pulled two kayaks out."If it can float on the water,it can slide on the ice,"Gelinne said. The kayaks'paddles (proved too weak,so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along.Their first attempts left them spinning in circles.But with effort,they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane,the pilot was standing on a tail wing,surrounded by open water.Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water,paddling toward the pilot and thinking,"What if he panics?What if I fall over?" With his son nearby,Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm,joking,"Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.""The pilot grabbed the kayak's bow.Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice.But each time Gelinne tried,the kayak broke through the ice.He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help.A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared.It picked up the pilot,Steve 71,and rushed him to safety,who would be treated for minor injuries.Later the boat returned to help Gelinne,exhausted,to shore. The boat had arrived just in time,Gelinne recalled."I'm 60 years old,"he says."There was no way I could get him to shore."Still,he was satisfied. 24.What was Gelinne's first reaction to the air crash?

B.Modest and intelligent. C.Generous and cautious. D.Helpful and humorous. C When the biggest earthquake in over a decade hit Kamchatka Peninsula in July,experts worldwide knew within moments thanks to global sensors,and now AI is.set to improve earthquake research-making it far faster and rewriting scientists'understanding of how quakes happen. Scientists are using machine learning to find millions of tiny and unseen earthquakes in data from active earthquake areas.These enlarged databases help learn future quake risks,and some even apply machine learning to aftershock forecasts."Machine learning opened a whole new window,"notes Mousavi,an expert in this field. Earthquakes occur when underground rock layers push against each other,building stress until the rock breaks and releases energy.This energy is recorded by professional tools,which have provided far more data in recent years.Just a decade or two ago,most analysis (was made by human,but today's large number of data makes AI-powered operation necessary One common application is phase picking,identifying the arrival of P and S waves important for discovering the exact quake locations.This task costs time for humans,but machine learning algorithms ()trained on past data,do this far faster with comparable accuracy(准确度)，Mousavi says.. Another area that has already seen big discoveries is the use of machine learning to enlarge earthquake catalogs-lists of quakes in particular regions.For example,researchers recently used AI to create a more detailed catalog of a magnitude 7.3 quake in.April 2024,increasing its completeness by about five times,cutting the time from months to one day Even with these improvements in finding and recording quakes,Al is still not.better than 20252026学年度第立学期期中考试高一英语试卷第5页（共12页） old methods at predicting future earthquakes.While it makes aftershock forecasts faster,it's about as accurate as usual ways.Experts warn not to.trust it too much and stress that double-checking is important to make sure we understand AI's results right.Still,earthquake ientists say,.“We're on the way.” 28.What is the benefit of machine learning in quake research? A.Decreasing future quake risks. B.Predicting quake time exactly. C..Finding unnoticed small quakes. D.Correcting human work's mistakes. 29.Why is phase picking mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To prove AI can provide perfect data. B.To show AI speeds up quake analysis C.To tell P waves are faster than S waves. D.To compare the speed of human and Al. 30.What can be inferred from the 2024 quake catalog? A.AI now makes traditional methods useless. B.AI is used to build a more detailed catalog. C.AI works without historical earthquake data. D.AI can enrich the data of the catalog sooner. 31.What is the researchers'attitude towards using Al in earthquake prediction? A.Careful but hopeful. B.Doubtful and worried. C.Concerned but helpless. D.Supportive and confident. D Have you ever wondered what makes people happy?Is it lots of money;good health,loving relationships,or simply chocolate? According to the latest World Happiness Report,money is not the main source of happiness. While hardship can make you unhappy,once your basic needs are met,money and material things matter far less.True happiness depends more on appreciating what you already have than on getting more.Sure,money can buy the latest smartphone or fashion item,and those things bring you joy at first,but that feeling is often short-lived:Think about you birthday gifts as a child.No matter how over the moon you feel while opening them,they may lie forgotten in a drawer soon.The same goes for the quick thrill of'eating too much chocolate,often resulting in stomachache. 2025~2026学年度第二学期期中考试高一英语试卷第6页（共12页） Lasting happiness tends to come from intangible things.One major factor is human relationships.The support of family and friends makes us feel protected and respected.But happiness means you have to give and take.Performing acts of kindness and helpfulness regularly,like listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbour's shopping bag,will make you feel pleased.Even a simple smile can beat 2,000 chocolate bars! Health is another key to happiness.Poor health can make anyone feel down.But staying healthy requires some effort.A healthy diet is important and so is regular exercise.Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce anxiety and makes you feel more positive because it releases endorphins(feel-good chemicals).So,if you feel blue about your exams,get exercising You'll also find that you sleep better. Talking of sleep,do you often wake up feeling tired?If so,it's probably because you haven't had enough of it.Teenagers often go to bed late and get up early,so many suffer from a lack of sleep.This tiredness will certainly have a bad effect on your mood,harm your concentration and even slow your growth.So if you want to be happy and do well at school,try .to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know more about happiness,why not start practising today?Smile,stay active,care for others,and rest well. 32.Which of the following can bring true happiness according to.the report? A.Valuing what one already has. B.Owning the newest smart devices. C.Eating chocolate in moderation D.Earning more than basic needs. 33.What does the underlined word "intangible"mean in paragraph 3? A.Secret and personal. B.Simple and common. C.Unimportant and small. D.Immaterial and invisible. 84.What could be the author's suggestion for teenagers? A.Study harder to improve their school work. B.Value the true foundations of happiness. C.Connect happiness with material gains. D.Reduce physical exercise to get more sleep. 35.What is the best title for the passage? A.Beyond Sweets:Chocolate's Limits B,Beyond Buying:Smiles and Meaning C.Beyond Joy:Real Routes to Happiness D.Beyond Wealth:Health and Relationships 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 20252026学年度第二学期期中考试高一英语试卷第7页（共12页) 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，并在答题纸上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How You Can Create Luck in Everyday Life Having a positive way allows you to create your own luck in everyday life.Here are some tips.
