Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of AI. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough. ▲ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practised it. They believed that music, maths and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful impact. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you！ 22．Which sentence should go into “___▲___ ”  in Paragraph 1? A．It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B．This means AI is the new start of physics. C．The award brings attention to machine learning. D．Traditional physics involves no other subjects. 23．Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A．To show how clever they were. B．To tell how they made inventions. C．To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D．To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 24．What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A．It was first created and practised by ancient Greeks. B．It helps find out where your inspiration comes from. C．It focuses only on the study of science and technology. D．It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 25．Which of the four students is practising cross-disciplinary learning? A．Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B．Zhang Jia uses maths knowledge to solve a biology problem. C．Wang Yi learns how to make paper-cutting in an art class. D．Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever heard of a famous charity called Operation Smile? 26 Operation Smile was started by a doctor and his wife.

They learn manners firstly from parents, so the most important way you can pass good manners to your kids is to set examples and talk about them in your home. You can’t avoid these two words in our home:“please” and “thanks”. Start by asking your child to follow your example when he or she is only months old. As they get older, tell them softly when they forget. They will get in the habit of saying “May I please have a glass of milk?” instead of “I want milk!” My daughter went through a shy phase(阶段). She found it difficult to say “thank you” to people she didn’t know well. I knew that she wasn’t being impolite. She just wasn’t comfortable with talking to strangers. We came up with a good idea. She would try her best to look at the person who helped her and smile. I'd then jump in and say, “She’s saying thank you with her eyes.” It wasn’t long before she said the words herself, and I helped her get there. Picking noses, talking while eating, running around... These acts are usually seen in childhood. For all these acts, you can let your child know it’s not the best action in public. We use the word “inappropriate(不恰当的)” because it doesn’t mean these actions are always bad. It simply tells children that these actions have a time and a place, but “not here, not now”. 54．When should parents start teaching their children good manners? 55．What did the writer ask her daughter to do when she was shy? 56．Do you think it is proper to laugh loudly in public? Why or why not? 第七部分 书面表达(共1题；满分25分) 57．非洲部分地区教育资源短缺，当地志愿者发起网络求助，呼吁各界助力改善儿童就学条件。请你根据以下提示，以联合国儿童基金会成员的身份，写一封90词左右的回信，介绍组织、阐述帮扶计划并传递支持与鼓励。文章的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear volunteers, I’m a member of UNICEF.

Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of AI. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough. ▲ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practised it. They believed that music, maths and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful impact. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you！ 22．Which sentence should go into “___▲___ ”  in Paragraph 1? A．It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B．This means AI is the new start of physics. C．The award brings attention to machine learning. D．Traditional physics involves no other subjects. 23．Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A．To show how clever they were. B．To tell how they made inventions. C．To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D．To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 24．What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A．It was first created and practised by ancient Greeks. B．It helps find out where your inspiration comes from. C．It focuses only on the study of science and technology. D．It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 25．Which of the four students is practising cross-disciplinary learning? A．Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B．Zhang Jia uses maths knowledge to solve a biology problem. C．Wang Yi learns how to make paper-cutting in an art class. D．Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 【答案】22．A 23．C 24．D 25．B 【导语】本文以2024年诺贝尔物理学奖授予机器学习先驱为例，介绍了跨学科学习的概念、历史背景、现实应用及其在应对未来挑战中的重要性。 22．推理判断题。根据“This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough.”可知，两位获奖者利用物理学原理在机器学习领域取得突破，这正是跨学科思想融合的范例。选项A“这是跨学科学习的最佳体现。”能够对前文进行总结并呼应文章主题。故选A。 23．推理判断题。根据“These inventors used knowledge from many different fields.”以及“As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies.”可知，作者列举这些伟人是为了证明跨学科思考能带来伟大成就，而这正是现代学校推行跨学科学习的原因。故选C。 24．细节理解题。根据“As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject.”可知，跨学科学习有助于人们打破单一学科的界限进行思考。故选D。 25．推理判断题。根据“cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject”以及“using that knowledge to improve our own understanding.”可知，跨学科学习的核心在于不同学科知识的交叉与融合。选项B“张佳用数学知识来解决一个生物问题。”描述了利用数学知识解决生物学问题，属于学科交叉应用，符合文中对跨学科学习的定义。故选B。 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever heard of a famous charity called Operation Smile? 26 Operation Smile was started by a doctor and his wife.

They learn manners firstly from parents, so the most important way you can pass good manners to your kids is to set examples and talk about them in your home. You can’t avoid these two words in our home:“please” and “thanks”. Start by asking your child to follow your example when he or she is only months old. As they get older, tell them softly when they forget. They will get in the habit of saying “May I please have a glass of milk?” instead of “I want milk!” My daughter went through a shy phase(阶段). She found it difficult to say “thank you” to people she didn’t know well. I knew that she wasn’t being impolite. She just wasn’t comfortable with talking to strangers. We came up with a good idea. She would try her best to look at the person who helped her and smile. I'd then jump in and say, “She’s saying thank you with her eyes.” It wasn’t long before she said the words herself, and I helped her get there. Picking noses, talking while eating, running around... These acts are usually seen in childhood. For all these acts, you can let your child know it’s not the best action in public. We use the word “inappropriate(不恰当的)” because it doesn’t mean these actions are always bad. It simply tells children that these actions have a time and a place, but “not here, not now”. 54．When should parents start teaching their children good manners? 55．What did the writer ask her daughter to do when she was shy? 56．Do you think it is proper to laugh loudly in public? Why or why not? 【答案】54．When their children are months old. 55．To try her best to look at the person who helped her and smile. 56．No. Because laughing loudly in public is not polite/ will disturb others. 【详解】1.根据“Start by asking your child to follow your example when he or she is only months old.”可知父母应该在孩子几个月大的时候就开始教他们良好的礼仪。 2.根据第三段，作者的女儿经历过害羞阶段，她知道并不是女儿不礼貌，而是和陌生人说话感到不适，因此他们想出了一个好办法，就是让女儿尽力看着帮助她的人并且微笑。 3.表达观点，认为在公共场合大声地笑是否合适并阐述理由。 第七部分 书面表达(共1题；满分25分) 57．非洲部分地区教育资源短缺，当地志愿者发起网络求助，呼吁各界助力改善儿童就学条件。请你根据以下提示，以联合国儿童基金会成员的身份，写一封90词左右的回信，介绍组织、阐述帮扶计划并传递支持与鼓励。文章的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear volunteers, I’m a member of UNICEF.

Charities provide services that are important to people in need: food banks feed hungry families, churches help find cheap housing, hospitals give free basic care to low-income patients, and animal charities save homeless pets. They help improve the lives of millions of people every day. Charity benefits you too. Helping others is good for your health and well-being. Volunteering makes you feel like you’re making a difference. Some charities protect the environment, like The Nature Conservancy (protecting lands and waters) and WWF (protecting endangered species for over 50 years).

Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton. What they did was to use principles from physics to make discoveries in machine learning, which pushed the development of AI. This is a perfect example of joining ideas from different subjects to achieve a breakthrough. ▲ In simple terms, cross-disciplinary learning is about not sticking to just one subject. It means being curious and open to ideas from different fields—whether it’s science, art, history or technology—and using that knowledge to improve our own understanding. Cross-disciplinary learning is nothing new. We have seen many examples over the centuries. Even the ancient Greeks practised it. They believed that music, maths and astronomy (天文学) were interconnected. This helped them make groundbreaking discoveries. Great minds like Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Zhang Heng gave us amazing and influential creations because they were inventors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and more, all at the same time. These inventors used knowledge from many different fields. As they proved, great achievements often come from thinking beyond the boundaries of a single subject. This is why, nowadays, schools are pushing cross-disciplinary studies. They hope that by drawing from multiple areas, students can contribute to different fields and make a meaningful impact. Cross-disciplinary learning can help you gain new opinions, find creative solutions and most importantly, better prepare you to deal with the complex challenges of tomorrow. You never know where inspiration might come from. Sometimes the best ideas are found in the most unexpected places. So, go ahead, mix it up, learn from everything, and see how far it takes you！ 22．Which sentence should go into “___▲___ ”  in Paragraph 1? A．It’s cross-disciplinary learning at its best. B．This means AI is the new start of physics. C．The award brings attention to machine learning. D．Traditional physics involves no other subjects. 23．Why does the writer mention great minds in Paragraph 4? A．To show how clever they were. B．To tell how they made inventions. C．To explain why schools push cross-disciplinary learning. D．To introduce how cross-disciplinary learning developed. 24．What can we learn about cross-disciplinary learning from the passage? A．It was first created and practised by ancient Greeks. B．It helps find out where your inspiration comes from. C．It focuses only on the study of science and technology. D．It contributes to thinking beyond the boundaries of a subject. 25．Which of the four students is practising cross-disciplinary learning? A．Chen Xi does physics homework in a geography class. B．Zhang Jia uses maths knowledge to solve a biology problem. C．Wang Yi learns how to make paper-cutting in an art class. D．Li Na likes to listen to music while doing a chemistry experiment. 第三部分 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever heard of a famous charity called Operation Smile? 26 Operation Smile was started by a doctor and his wife.

They learn manners firstly from parents, so the most important way you can pass good manners to your kids is to set examples and talk about them in your home. You can’t avoid these two words in our home:“please” and “thanks”. Start by asking your child to follow your example when he or she is only months old. As they get older, tell them softly when they forget. They will get in the habit of saying “May I please have a glass of milk?” instead of “I want milk!” My daughter went through a shy phase(阶段). She found it difficult to say “thank you” to people she didn’t know well. I knew that she wasn’t being impolite. She just wasn’t comfortable with talking to strangers. We came up with a good idea. She would try her best to look at the person who helped her and smile. I'd then jump in and say, “She’s saying thank you with her eyes.” It wasn’t long before she said the words herself, and I helped her get there. Picking noses, talking while eating, running around... These acts are usually seen in childhood. For all these acts, you can let your child know it’s not the best action in public. We use the word “inappropriate(不恰当的)” because it doesn’t mean these actions are always bad. It simply tells children that these actions have a time and a place, but “not here, not now”. 54．When should parents start teaching their children good manners? 55．What did the writer ask her daughter to do when she was shy? 56．Do you think it is proper to laugh loudly in public? Why or why not? 第七部分 书面表达(共1题；满分25分) 57．非洲部分地区教育资源短缺，当地志愿者发起网络求助，呼吁各界助力改善儿童就学条件。请你根据以下提示，以联合国儿童基金会成员的身份，写一封90词左右的回信，介绍组织、阐述帮扶计划并传递支持与鼓励。文章的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear volunteers, I’m a member of UNICEF.
