I'd forgotten one thing-the terrible guilt.Maybe it's because the Easter holidays weren't sunny last year,or maybe it's because the youngest is my favourite (I am joking),but the guilt is just awful.It's like having a little Cinderella in the house,except I'm not the audience-I'm the evil stepmother.Fancy going to the beach,or to a party?What about a lovely lie-in,and then some re-runs of The Office?What about a ball-you know there are some great balls on? Everyone can do exactly as they wish,except the Cinderellas upstairs,who's trying to memorise the whole of Great Expectations,while the rest of us-even the people who did the same text last year-sit around going:"Is that the one about the orphanage and the poridge?" We can't even do positive visualisations of the summer,when it'll all be over,as that just reminds the poor rag-dressed creature of the time period between now and then.Really,the only way to offset (this guilt would be to memorise Great Expectations myself.But I don't want to.The sun's out. 24.What do parents compare exam season to? A.Ajoyful celebration. B.A difficult time. C.A fierce competition. D.A tough mission. 25.What does the underlined phrase "butt out"in Paragraph 1 mean? A.Leave them alone. B.Put up with them. C.Give them a hand. D.Talk with them openly. 26.Why does the author feel guilty? A.She forgets something terribly important. B.She fails to provide effective motivation for the child. C.She regrets missing out on quality time with the child. D.She is troubled by the family's ease and the child's hard work. 27.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Different mindsets for A-level exam preparations. B.Approaches to dealing with exam stress effectively. C.The importance of family support during exams. D.The mixed feelings of families during exam season. 尚二年级英语科试卷共11页第4页 C Last year,a high school student in Maryland was put in handcuffs after his school's AI surveillance system(监控系统)marked the chip bag in his pocket as a handgun.The incident was not an isolated mistake.Across the country,AI detection tools have been quietly marking the U.S.Declaration ofIndependence as "99.9%AI-generated."Shakespeare's plays? Clearly the output of a sophisticated language model.One professor discovered his 45-year-old academic paper was considered 77%AI-written-even though the technology did not exist when he composed it. These episodes point to a fundamental limitation in artificial intelligence that technical benchmarks (fail to capture.AI does not lack processing power;it lacks the capacity to step back and recognize absurdity (the quality of being silly or unreasonable).The detection software marks Jefferson's writing as made by AI because it is too polished,too structurally perfect. The system has been trained on a wrong idea:that human writing is,relatively speaking, logically messy and machine-produced output is naturally clean.When it encounters a human who writes with precision,the system's logic collapses. This weakness extends beyond writing analysis.AI does not excel at grasping irony or context-the very ingredients of human judgment.It operates by calculating probabilities based on patterns in its training data.A bag and a handgun may share enough visual features in low resolution to cause a match.The machine does not stop to consider whether it is likely for a teenager to carry a weapon made of corn chips.It cannot,because common sense is not a statistical category. What we are witnessing is not machine intelligence in any meaningful sense.It is pattern recognition at scale,lacking the reflective distance that allows humans to question their own assumptions.An AI does not know when it is being foolish.And a system that cannot recognize its own absurdity is not a thinking being-it is a mirror reflecting our data back at us, mistakes and all.The real danger is not that machines will become too clever.It is that we will start trusting their confident mistakes. 28.Why does the author mention the Maryland high school incident? A.To criticize the excessive use of surveillance in schools. B.To illustrate AI's inability to interpret context appropriately. C.To argue that AI surveillance systems should be banned. D.To highlight the dangers of students bringing weapons to campus. 29.Which of the following best matches how the AI tools in the passage work? A.An AI music app sorts a slow song into the"healing"list. B.A customer's ironic review is read by AI as sincere praise. C.A neatly written essay is identified as written by a human. D.A security AI judges an umbrella as a gun because rain wets its camera. 高二年级英语科试卷共11页第5页 30.What is the author's overall attitude toward current Al systems? A.Enthusiastic optimism about their future potential. B.Neutral reporting without clear personal views C.Skeptical concern about their fundamental limitations. D.Sharp criticism of certain weaknesses in the technology. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.The Absurd Mistakes of AI Detection. B.Why AI Cannot Replace Human Judgment. C.AI Tools with Sharp Power but Limited Sense. D.Never Fully Trust AI's Confident Errors. 0 Considered nature's engineers,beavers (build dams across streams to create ponds They are a key species due to their significant impact on streams,the movement of water,water quality,and the other animals that live there.Beavers can change their environments mainly through dam construction.The effects of these dams can be different in geographical regions, but scientists do not have a clear understanding of how they affect water quality,habitat,and sedimentation(沉积). "Due to limited study,some research scientists must make decisions on how the conservation,expansion,and reintroduction of beavers can make a difference to their local streams based on findings from ecosystems that are more frequently studied and better understood,"said EPA researcher Ken Fritz. Ken Fritz,Johnson,Heather Golden,and Brent Johnson,in collaboration with other researchers from Miami University,Ohio,conducted a scientific literature review to better understand how beaver dams influence stream systems across different biogeographical regions. Their paper used 267 peer-reviewed studies to quantify the effects of beaver dams.The literature review found that beaver dams had profound environmental effects.The impacts on stream morphology (and water movement were similar across geographical regions. Stream health also appeared to improve with beaver conservation. Specifically,results show that while nitrate and suspended sediments decreased downstream from beaver dams,pollutants like methyl mercury,dissolved organic carbon,and ammonium concentrations increased.Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations tended to not be affected by beaver dams.The effects beaver dams have on pollutants vary depending on environmental conditions-like temperature,sunlight,water velocity and depth-that aid in changing and transporting certain pollutants. On a larger scale,beaver dams slow water flow and increase sedimentation,and most pollutants likely settle out of the water into sediments upstream of the beaver dam.These areas could become zones of high concentration of some harmful pollutants for exposed wildlife. These findings can be useful for stream conservation and restoration efforts that introduce or protect beavers.Additional studies are needed in dry or cold biomes historically occupied by 态二年级英语科试卷共11页第6页 beavers and in new environments where beaver populations are currently expanding 32.What impact do beaver dams have on the environment? A.Water quality and living habitats. B.The climate of different regions. C.The safety of other wildlife. D.The increasing number of plant species. 33.What can we conclude about the influence of beaver dams? A.They effectively reduce all types of pollutants in streams. B.They may create hidden environmental risks for wildlife nearby. C.They mainly control pollution by changing water temperature and sunlight. D.They lead to higher concentrations of harmful pollutants downstream. 34.How did the researchers carry out their study? A.By conducting a literary review on beavers. B.By observing wild beavers in different regions. C.By summarizing plenty of previous related studies D.By inventing a novel approach to protect stream systems. 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Current research on beavers is far from complete. B.Beaver protection has greatly improved stream health C.Dry and cold regions are ideal habitats for beavers. D.Stream restoration relies mainly on beaver introduction. 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。 The National Southwest Associated University (Lianda)existed for only eight years during the Sino-Japanese War,yet it produced an extraordinary number of leading scholars and scientists.Its educational philosophy and methods continue to offer valuable lessons for higher education today.

My father's side of the family would have family gatherings every Saturday evening in my Granny's place,but I hadn't been attending them recently since it clashed with my part-time job as a barista().Granny also lived quite far away,so usually just my parents and my brother would go.This week,however,I had the day off.So here I was,meeting relatives I hadn't seen for long. We were a big family.I had a bunch of cousins at least ten years older than me.A few of them,including Cousin Joey,had children.Little Nova was about four to five,the first great-grandchild and the youngest in the family.The next was me,with a 15-year gap.Having my brother was a blessing.When we were little,all cousins were young adults.Being the only two kids was overwhelming.My outgoing brother shared adults'attention for me.But for Nova, all eyes were fixed on her. "Nova,say hello to Great Granny,"Joey pulled her arm.Nova frowned,looked down and stepped back."Don't be rude,"Joey insisted.Nova shook her head,hiding behind Joey's legs. Finn grabbed her arm and pulled her forward.Adults kept urging her to be polite,some harsh and some gentle.Watching this,my palms grew sweaty.Nova looked close to tears,her frown so deep as if it could pinch a fly to death. 高二年级英语科试卷共11页第10页 After a long struggle,Nova whispered a greeting too quiet to hear.Then she was set free to a bedroom.The adults stayed in the living room."Nova is just like Kristi,isn't she?"my mom said."You two are so shy and stubbomn,"Joey added,staring at me.I forced an awkward smile.Mom began talking about how difficult I was as a kid.Seeing Nova brought back my unwanted bitter memories.I truly understood how she felt deep inside. 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。 Seeing that everyone was buried in their warm chat,I quietly walked towards the bedroom.
