Through this experience,I realized the power of sharing.By sharing my passion for Chinese calligraphy,I was able to introduce others to the beauty and depth of Chinese culture.It made me proud of my cultural roots and motivated me to continue learning and sharing.Now,I often participate in various cultural exchange activities and also use social media to share my calligraphy works and stories.I hope that through my small efforts,more people around the world will come to appreciate and love Chinese culture as I do. 听力部分录音材料 (Text 1) W:Excuse me,at which stop should I get off for the city museum?

B The first time my daughter,Chloe,realized I was leaving on a trip without her,she was alarmed."Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?"she cried.I tried to tell her that someday she'd understand the appeal of travel.But as my husband, Evan,pulled her off my leg so I could leave,I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away,I felt energized and inspired.Chloe was happy to hear about my trip.But this was the age of learning about compromises().As in:"You have to wear a coat,but we'll compromise and you can choose which one."She told me I could keep going on trips for work-but we'd compromise:she'd come with me. When she was six,we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico.I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes()or dived along a reef.In Fiji, nine-year-old Chloe was attracted by the compassionate(有同情心的)women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader.During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13,she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life. When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education,it shouldn't have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Chloe was excited when,after months of interviews,she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind.Compared to the silly 17-year-old I'd said goodbye to,the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and,later,from university in France,seemed mature and unfamiliar. 24.How did Chloe feel the first time she realized her mum was leaving on a trip without her?

C.Travel shapes a person. D.Life is like a journey. C Seeing terror films(恐怖电影)is typically a harmless activity.But the fear it generates can cause the body's fight-or-flight system-releasing chemicals into the body and causing a number of physiological responses. Our body's fear response is actually a fantastic tool for survival in dangerous situations because it kicks in fast,makes us full of energy,heightens our focus,strengthens our muscles,and gets us ready to handle whatever is coming at us.It's a built-in survival mechanism,which has been with us since our ancient ancestors.But even as it helped our ancient ancestors escape from tigers and keeps us out of harm today,activating the body's fear response isn't always a good thing.If it's initiated too often with constant stress or frequent jump scares,it can wear our bodies down. The body's fear response,or fight-or-flight response,always begins in the amygdala-a part of the brain's system that's critical for recognizing threats and processing emotions.After it detects a threat,the amygdala sends a distress signal to a command (centre in the brain,which tells the nervous system to release hormones and neurotransmitters(荷尔蒙和t神 )Research shows that these hormones and neurotransmitters work together to quicken your breathing and to make your heart send oxygen-rich blood faster to your muscles and vital organs.This prepares the muscles and brain to rapidly set up a threat response. Indeed,when stress hormones are released too often or for long periods of time,it can wear your body down.In some people,it can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, heart problems and digestive(诮化的)issues,because your body is constantly in“high alarm mode”. Another consideration is that our immediate biological response to fear is the same whether we're facing true danger-or something that only appears that way.Overexposure to jump scares can make you less sensitive to fear.So people who enjoy terror films regularly might not react as strongly to real danger because their brain gets used to these situations. 28.Why are ancient ancestors mentioned in Paragraph 2? A.To show body's fear response is inborn. B.To admire their quick response to fear. C.To show how they survived the scary situations.

C.An Extreme Entertainment D.Effects of Fear on Brain and Body D Scientists with the BrainGate research centre have developed a breakthrough brain- computer interface (BCI).The system aims to restore communication for individuals with speech disabilities caused by conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS),which leads to the gradual loss of mobility and speech.It uses implanted (sensors to interpret brain signals when a user attempts to speak,turning them into text that is read aloud by a computer.The study,published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 14,was led by David Brandman and Sergey Stavisky,faculty members at UC Davis Health. ALS,also known as Lou Gehrig's disease,affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement.BCI technology can restore communication for those affected.In this study,Casey Harrell,a 45-year-old man with ALS,regained the ability to communicate effectively within minutes of using the system.Harrell described the experience as life-changing,saying,"My past condition was so demoralizing.Not being able to communicate seems as if you were trapped.Something like this technology will help people get back into life and society." The BrainGate clinical trial,led by Dr.Leigh Hochberg from Brown University,has made major progress in interpreting brain signals to help people with paralysis ( communicate.In July 2023,the UC Davis team implanted a BCI device into Harrell's brain, focusing on the left precentral gyrus,a part of the brain that controls speech.The system translates brain activity into phonemes()and words,enabling real-time communication. Harrell's BCI generated speech with a voice similar to his own,using software trained with existing voice samples of his voice before he developed ALS.This allowed him to connect with his loved ones in a deeply personal way. Over 32 weeks and 248 hours of use,the system achieved remarkable results,with 99.6%accuracy for a 50-word vocabulary in 30 minutes of training and 90.2%accuracy for a 125,000-word vocabulary after 1.4 additional training hours."This is game-changing technology,"Brandman said."It provides hope for people who want to speak but can't."Dr. John Ngai,director of the NIH's BRAIN Initiative,highlighted the milestone as a major step in restoring communication for individuals locked in by paralysis. 32.What do we know about the BrainGate BCI? A.It is used to treat speech disabilities. B.It translates brain signals into speech. C.It helps people with ALS move and speak. D.It connects brains to make computers smarter. 33.What does the underlined word "demoralizing"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Discouraging. B.Comforting. C.Demanding. D.Eye-opening. 34.What was the purpose of using Harrell's pre-ALS voice to compose the speech? A.To enable his communication in real time. B.To improve the accuracy of speech translation. C.To help interpret his brain signals more easily. D.To make his speech emotionally meaningful. 35.What is Dr.John Ngai's attitude towards the BrainGate BCI? A.Unconcerned. B.Unclear. C.Critical. D.Favourable. 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Bird-watching,or "birding",is a very popular hobby these days-and it's a fantastic way of getting outside and connecting with nature.36 What you will need? When you start,the only thing you really need is some way of identifying the birds that you see.A good field guide will have photos,pictures and descriptions to assist you in identifying birds.Of course,you might prefer to use some apps on your phone.37 Where to go? The great thing about bird-watching is that you can start just in your garden or street,or in a local park.38 Unusual plants grow there,and they are also good places for different species of birds because there is lots of food and water for them and safe places where they can rest. How to observe? It's always best to look for birds in the early morning or late afternoon,because this is when they are most active.When you see a bird,make some notes about its colour or shape before it flies away.Draw the pictures of birds and copy the songs of them.Is it alone or in a group?39 How does it fly?Can you hear its call or song?Where is it-in a tree or on the ground,and in what kind of habitat?Then check your field guide or app. 40 Birds are always looking for predators(掠食动物)，so be very quiet when you are birdwatching,and don't wear brightly-coloured clothes that may frighten them.Never go too close to a bird,especially when it is making a nest or feeding the young. A.What is it eating? B.What to remember? C.So how can you get started? D.Make some simple observations. E.That's why you should watch birds. F.But wetlands,perhaps,are perfect places. G.They can have recordings of birds'calls,which is of great help. 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分40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人空白处的最佳选项。 I picked up my phone to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.And I got a 41 "Cannot take photos:There is not enough available 42 to take a photo."I panicked and 43 went to see what pictures I could delete().No candidates.So I tried the next best thing:to 44 some apps.But it turned out that all of them were useful.

But wasn't I planning on taking 50 pictures and then looking at Switzerland through a screen?I was 51 myself from having the experience that I had been looking forward to. So a trip without taking pictures was actually a blessing.I was 52 to take mental pictures and to experience Switzerland.

At first,I found it extremely challenging.The brush seemed to have a mind of its own, and the Chinese characters that I wrote were far from the beautiful and elegant ones I had seen in books or on the wall of my grandpa's study.My wrist()would ache after just a few minutes of holding the brush,and the ink would often mess up the paper.But my grandfather was patient.He adjusted my sitting posture and guided my hand,showing me how to control the brush with just the right amount of pressure.He told me stories about famous calligraphers in Chinese history and explained the cultural significance behind each stroke(). As time went on,I went abroad for my high school education.While I was engaged in my schooling,I kept practising Chinese calligraphy for an hour or two every day.Gradually,I began to notice improvements in my writing.I didn't feel the pain in my hand any longer and the characters became more balanced and graceful.I also started to learn about the different styles of Chinese calligraphy,such as the bold and vigorous style of Kai Shu and the flowing and dynamic style of Xing Shu.I was amazed by the beauty,the elegance and the rich cultural heritage embedded(藴含的)in each style. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day,my school held an international cultural exchange activity.
