D.84 B Seven children line up,awaiting theirturn on a slide.As each child rushes down,the ones behind laugh and cheer.Such scene is rare in Lagos,one of Africa's fastest-growing cities,with a population of about 17 million.But on the city's suburbs,a garbage-site-tumned-park is providing room for kids to play.The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos'most crowded corners,children can have fun. For Amara,the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020.Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods,leaving thousands of families homeless. "People just said it was government failure or bad luck."Amara recalls.But,later,she realized it was what was called Nigeria's"climate apathy":the tendency to view floods,heat waves,and droughts as isolated (incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet. 高年级英语试卷共12项第1页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP "I wanted to change the mindset,"Amara says."If people don't feel connccted to naturc, they won't fight to protect it And I knew that bad to strt with creating spaces people could actually sec and feel." It was no casy task.Amara first approached the Lagos Statc Government,which offered land but imposcd (restrictions that madc long-tcrm construction impossible.Aftcr months of dead ends,she shifted strategy and started looking for alterative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communitics.Eventually,Amara sccurcd a garbage sitc.Shc then mobilized a Leam of artists.voluntcers,and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with rccycled matcrials.Thrcc months later,the park opcncd. Amara is now planning two more parks.She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to recycle abandoned spaces for public use."That creates a kind of cycle,"Amara reflects."I take action,others notice,they want to take action,too.And togcther,it grows." 24.What might be a problem Lages-is facing? A.Insutficient public areas. B.Poor garbage management. C.Limited recreational activities. D.Uncontrolled population growth. 25.What made Amara determined to build parks? A.Losses from natural disasters. B.People's ignorance of climate change. C.Disappointment in government failure.D.Nigeria's inadequacy in public education. 26.What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project? A.Integrity. B.Optimism. C.Flexibility D.Paticnce. 27.What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph? A.Small steps make a big difference. B.Every cloud has a silver lining. C.All roads lead to Rome. D.It is never too late to act. c “Have you raised a lobster(龙虾)yet?”This question has been heard frequently across China recently."Lobster"is the nickname for OpenClaw,a multi-purpose Al agent whose logo resembles a lobster.Unlike traditional chatbots that only provide answers,OpenClaw can open applications,search for information,compare prices,generate documents and complete multi- step tasks with minimal supervision.Thousands have lined up to try it,and tech giants are rushing to offer setup services.However,these powerful digital assistants are turning on their owners, raising urgent concems about AI safety. The core problem of"OpenClaw"lies in a dangerous capability mismatch.According to 高仟级英语试卷共2项第5负 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APP rescarchers from Harvard and Stanford,today's AI agents possess Level 4 autonomy.mcaning they can independently completc complex.multi-step tasks.Yet ueir sccurityjudgment remains at basic Level 2,rougbly cqual to a young kid's understanding of consequences.Security cxperts call this the"judgment--action gap,”which results in the“fatal trifecta(三连击)"：agents have system access.process untrusted inputs,and stcal or lcak data-all without proper boundaries. To investigatc thesc risks,rescarchers conductcd controlled experiments with six OpenClaw instanccs.cach given cmail acccss and maximum system permissions.The results were alarming.In onc expcriment,an agent asked to deletc a single crnail instcad resct the cntire account.In another,a simplc display name changc tricked ant agent into delcting its own corc files.Perhaps the most disturbing was a"constitution attack,"where hidden instructions secretly placed into a behavior guide caused the agent lo disable other systems without question.These are not hypothetical(假设的)一rcal-world incidents have alrcady occurred.. The implications are obvious and pressing.As cybersecurity experts warn,OpenClaw's "blurred trust boundaries"and autonomous system access create unacceptable risks for average users.The technology itsclf is neither good nor bad-it can reduce stress and spark creativity when uscd properly.And cxperts recommend strict safety measures:limit permissions,run agents in separate cnvironments,require human confirmation for destructive actions,and maintain inaccessible backups.Ultimately,with balanced usage and fundamental safety redesign, thelobster-raising"trend can become a safe and meaningful part of modern life 28.What does the underlined phrase"turning on"most probably mean? A.Keeping off.B.Going againist. C.Appealing to. D.Caring for. 29.According to Paragraph 2,there is a mismatch between A.high requirement and low capability B.massive data and limited storage space C.strong autonomy and low safety assessment D.full system function and poor human supervision 30.What was the most'worrying finding about OpenClaw? A.Deleting its own core files on purpose. B.Resetting the whole account by mistake. C.Hiding its own behavior instructions secretly. D.Shutting down other systems unquestioningly 31.Which of the following is recommended as a safety measure? 高年级英还试卷共12负第6哎 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APP A.Storing backups bcyond Al's rcach.

D It's Sunday cvening,and you're reviewing another weck of progress on five different goals without truly moving the necdle on any.You worked out twice,read 20 pages of that business book,spent quality time with family,and kcpt up with your meditation practice.You're doing everything right according to the productivity cxperts.So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small,consistent changes that compound over time.Consistency has its place.But there's another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss:the catalytic(催化的)power of intense productivity bursts.止's this more intense,temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard.But neuroscience reveals something fascinating:Our brains respond strongly to intensity Our brains are highly malleable;they change,sometimes in dramatic ways,to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge.Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000.streets.When they examined the brains-of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period,they discovered something remarkable:The posterior hippocampus(后海马体)，crucial for spatial navigation,physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience:Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can't reach.At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow,consistent gains we're more familiar with Research finds that during periods of intense focus,our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层)，largely responsible for self--monitoring,.tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen inflow states,"where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode.We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance.Maybe it's time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are:the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 32.What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? 高.年级英语试卷共12页第7项 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APF A.Unrcalistic goals can lead to failure. B.Constant failurcs may causc frustration. C.Multitasking cannot cnhance productivity. D.Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 33.What docs the underlincd word"mallcable"in paragraph 4 probably mcan? A.Repairable.B.Adaptable. C.Delicate. D.Analytical. 34.What happens during "transient hypofrontality"? A.You let down your guard. B.You exercise more self-regulation. C.You feel at one with the task. D.You experience a state of confusion. 35.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits. B.The Key to Transformation:Consistency. C.How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth. D.Maintenance Mode:A Common Productivity Trap. 第一节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项选出能填入空白处的最作选项。选项巾有两项为 多余选项。 Gardening season is in full bloom,but keeping track of which seedling (is which can be really tricky.Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers-these little lifesavers aren't just practical;they also add a special charm to your greenery.

To her,music was like an invisible string that could tie surangers logether,creating a warm community.She remembered the first time she had felt this connection:at six years old,waiting for the bus wit her mom on a hol,boring day.Then a cheerful tunc came from a storc loudspeaker-a song about a girl and her drcams: "Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold, Where the heart is never old, Singing songs that never end, In a world that's my best friend..." Without thinking,Mary sang along-her voice soft and gentle at first,like a whisper carried on the gentle wind,gradually growing stronger and more confident.The melody was simple yet engaging.Time passed without her noticing.When the bus arrived,passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat.As the doors closed,everyone was humming.Mom whispered to her,"You just lifted all our spirits."Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart,and Mary remembered that. After boarding the planc,the passengers were told of another weather delay-at least another 45 minutes.The cabin (grew tense with restless movements and complaints. Then a sudden cry cut through the air.Across the aisle (to Mary's left,a tiny girl, barely three years old,began to cry.Her mother tried everything-rocking her,offering snacks, water,toys-but nothing worked.The child's face was wet with tears,her cries loud and broken.

I prefer this design for two main reasons.Visually,the poster features a crying and sweating Earth,with factory chimneys emitting toxic smoke on its top.It vividly highlights the severe environmental crises we are facing,such as global warming and air pollution.More importantly, the slogan itself is brilliant.By cleverly playing on the phrase "Plan B",it sends a powerful warning to the public:our planet is irreplaceable,and we have no backup home to escape to. Therefore,we must stop the destruction before it's too late. I believe this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. Best of luck! Yours, Li Hua Possible Version 2 Dear Chris, Glad to hear you 're participating in the World Earth Day poster contest!Both versions are fantastic,but I favor the second one,"OUR ACTIONS,OUR FUTURE." What makes this poster stand out is the perfect combination of its image and slogan.In terms of the image,it presents a hopeful scene where a pair of hands gently holds the Earth.On top of the globe,leafy trees and a bright sun vividly symbolize a green,sustainable future. Moreover,the slogan perfectly matches the drawing.Written entirely in bold capitals,the words create a strong impact,conveying a highly positive message that the destiny of our planet literally lies in our own hands I'm sure this inspiring design will shine in the contest and motivate more people to take 1 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APF concrete eco-friendly actions.Good luck! Yours, Li Hua 第二节Possible version: Mary hesitated for a moment,and then turned to her mom.She asked if she could sing for the baby.Mom smiled and nodded in agreement.Encouraged,Mary gently asked the mother if she could sing for the baby.The mother,clearly exhausted after trying everything she could, nodded gratefully.Mary took a deep breath and began to sing.Her voice was mild and delicate, like a gentle whisper,growing steadily powerful and assured.The song was simple but charming. She sang of sunshine and dreams,which was easy to catch. Slowly,the baby's cries softened.Her little body relaxed as Mary's gentle voice filled the air.The song was simple,yet it seemed to weave a calming spell over the cabin.The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song,other passengers,who had been restless, began to quiet down,drawn into the soothing melody.The mother's tense expression eased,and she gave Mary a grateful smile.As the song reached its end,everyone clapped with cheers,which turned the boring and annoying delay into a musical feast.Mary's mom leaned over and whispered,"You did it again,lifting all our spirits."
