As American inventors, they challenged the long-held belief that human flight required gas-filled balloons. By focusing on mechanical engineering and persistent experimentation, they eventually proved that a powered, heavier-than-air machine could conquer the sky, which marked the threshold of a new era. Growing up with a passion for mechanics, the Wright brothers didn’t achieve success overnight. They drew inspiration from their experience with kites and bicycles, integrating these diverse concepts into their early designs. To test their theories, they chose Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, where the Atlantic coast provided ideal wind conditions. Through countless glider (滑翔机) tests on the sandy dunes, they painstakingly solved the complex problems of balance and control that had defeated previous inventors. The turning point arrived on December 17th, 1903. Their newly built aircraft, powered by a gasoline engine with a 12-meter wingspan, sat ready on the track. That morning, Orville made the world’s first powered flight, covering 36 meters in a mere 12 seconds. Although only a few witnesses and a single camera captured the moment, and newspapers largely ignored the news, this brief flight fundamentally changed the course of human history. Recognition, however, was delayed for nearly five years. It wasn’t until 1908, when Wilbur performed demonstration flights in France and the U.S. War Department showed interest, that the brothers became global heroes. Despite their sudden fame, the Wrights remained modest, returning to their hometown to focus on technical improvements and flight instruction rather than seeking public attention. Today, their original plane rests in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., near moon rocks and advanced spacecraft. This contrast serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come. From a 12-second hop to lunar exploration, the Wright brothers’ legacy (遗产) continues to inspire those who dare to look upward and imagine the impossible. 4. What does the underlined word “threshold” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Beginning. B. Challenge. C. Expectation. D. Conclusion. 5. What was the main challenge the Wright brothers overcame? A. Designing a powerful gas engine. B. Finding a place with suitable wind. C. Achieving balance and control in flight. D. Gaining recognition from the authority. 6. How did the brothers react to their sudden fame? A. They focused on moon exploration. B. They sought their fortune in Europe. C. They enjoyed being interviewed by newspapers. D. They remained devoted to improving their craft. 7. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. The Wright Brothers: From Toys to Sky B. Kitty Hawk: The Birthplace of Aviation C. Mechanical Engineering in the 20th Century D. The Technical Challenges of Early Aircraft 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了莱特兄弟从童年的玩具和梦想出发，通过不断的机械实验与对平衡控制的研究，最终在1903年实现人类历史上第一次有动力、受控的飞行。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“By focusing on mechanical engineering and persistent experimentation, they eventually proved that a powered, heavier-than-air machine could conquer the sky, which marked the threshold of a new era.( 通过专注于机械工程并坚持不懈地进行实验，他们最终证明了一种有动力、重于空气的飞行器能够翱翔于天空，这标志着一个新时代的threshold)”可知，莱特兄弟证明了比空气重的机器可以征服天空，这标志着一个新时代的开始。threshold在此处意为“开端；开始”，与beginning同义。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through countless glider (滑翔机) tests on the sandy dunes, they painstakingly solved the complex problems of balance and control that had defeated previous inventors.(通过在沙质丘陵上进行无数次滑翔机试验，他们终于攻克了此前那些发明者未能解决的平衡与操控难题)”可知，莱特兄弟通过在沙丘上进行大量的滑翔机实验，辛苦地解决了前人未能克服的“平衡与控制”难题。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite their sudden fame, the Wrights remained modest, returning to their hometown to focus on technical improvements and flight instruction rather than seeking public attention.(尽管他们突然一举成名，但莱特兄弟依然保持低调，他们回到自己的家乡，致力于技术改进和飞行教学，而非追求公众的关注)”可知，面对突然成名，他们保持谦逊，并回到家乡继续专注于技术改进和飞行指导。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“The story of aviation (航空) began not with grand machines, but with a toy helicopter and a dream shared by two brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wright.(航空史的开端并非始于大型飞行器，而是源于一架玩具直升机以及两位兄弟——威尔伯和奥维尔·莱特——共同怀有的一个梦想)”可知，文章讲述了莱特兄弟研究、实验、试飞成功到成名的全过程，重点在于他们追求飞行梦想的历程。选项A“莱特兄弟：从玩具到天空”既涵盖了主人公，又生动地概括了从起步到成功的跨越，适合作本文标题。 C Are you curious about the rich history behind Pakistan’s different musical traditions? From ancient to modern styles, Pakistani music offers a fascinating journey through culture and creativity. Music in Pakistan dates back to ancient times, when early musical instruments were found in the Indus Valley Civilization. Over centuries, different cultures and ruling powers shaped its growth, creating a unique musical identity. After Pakistan became independent in 1947, its music continued to grow. Classical musicians like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Roshan Ara Begum kept traditional forms such as Ghazal and Khayal alive. In the 1960s and 1970s, film music became popular, followed by the rise of pop music in the 1980s, with the band Vital Signs leading the way. Today, Pakistan’s music scene mixes tradition with modern styles. Folk (民间的) music varies across places, using instruments like the Dhol and Rubab. Artists such as Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi have brought these local sounds to the mainstream. Meanwhile, pop and rock remain popular, with bands like Junoon and singers like Atif Aslam winning wide fame. In recent years, hip-hop has also appeared, with artists like Bohemia connecting with young listeners. Pakistani music has gained world-wide recognition. The powerful singing of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and the lively performances of modern bands have won fans across the world. Partnerships with international artists and platforms like Coke Studio continue to introduce Pakistani music to new listeners. Pakistan’s music is like a colorful cloth made from many different cultural influences, historical traditions, and new creative ideas. From the old instruments that have been used for hundreds of years to modern partnerships with artists from around the world, Pakistani music shows the country’s rich cultural history and its active connection with the rest of the world. From classical music to modern beats, Pakistani music tells the story of a nation through its ever-changing sounds.

Users did not know this would happen. When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”. Forbes first reported this problem. They found more than 370,000 user conversations on the Internet. The BBC saw chats where users asked the new chat robot to create passwords, make meal plans for weight loss, and answer medical questions. This has happened before with other AI chat robots. A famous AI company recently stopped an experiment where shared AI chats appeared in search results. The company said chats are private unless users choose to share them. Earlier this year, another AI company also faced criticism when shared AI conversations appeared in a public feed. User names may be hidden in shared chats, but the conversations can still contain personal information. Experts say this is a serious privacy problem. “AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever. Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said. 12. What can we know about the shared conversations with the new chat robot? A. The conversations are searchable. B. BBC first reported the conversation. C. About 370,000 chats were found online. D. An AI company formally responded. 13. What is Prof Luc Rocher’s attitude towards AI chat robots’ privacy issues? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 14. What is Carissa Veliz’s view about tech companies? A. They lack enough entertainment options. B. They don’t inform users how data is used. C. They overcharge for AI chatbots. D. They focus too much on privacy protection. 15. What is mainly talked about in the text? A. Development of AI chat robots. B. How to use AI chat robots safely. C. Privacy leaks of AI chat robots. D. Suggestions on improving AI chat robots. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章以一种新的AI聊天机器人的数十万条用户对话在搜索引擎泄露为切入点，介绍“分享”按钮生成的链接导致对话可被搜索的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen.(在搜索引擎的结果中，发现了数十万计与一款新聊天机器人进行的对话记录。用户们此前并不知晓会有这样的情况发生)”可知，与AI聊天机器人进行的数十万条用户对话，在用户不知情的情况下，被暴露在搜索引擎结果中，即这些对话是可搜索的。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever.(牛津大学的卢克·罗彻教授表示：“人工智能聊天机器人正在引发一场隐私危机。”他还指出，泄露的聊天记录中包含了全名、住址、心理健康状况以及商业信息等敏感内容。这些信息会永远保留在网络上)”可知，Luc Rocher称A I聊天机器人是进行中的隐私灾难，这表明他的态度是批评性的。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said.(来自牛津大学的卡里萨·维利兹表示，用户并未被告知他们共享的聊天记录会出现在搜索结果中。她说：“我们的技术甚至都不会告知我们对数据的处理方式，这确实是个问题。”)”可知，Carissa Veliz指出技术未向用户说明数据处理方式是个问题。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第二段“When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”.(当新聊天机器人使用者点击“分享”按钮时，就会生成一个独特的链接。这个链接原本是为与朋友分享而设的，但同时也使得这些聊天内容能够在互联网上被搜索到。最近的一次搜索发现，有关新聊天机器人的聊天记录有近30万条之多。一位专家称人工智能聊天机器人造成了“隐私灾难”)”可知，这篇文章主要谈论的是人工智能聊天机器人存在的隐私泄露问题。 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。 When you hear the term “wildlife”, you might picture animals. However, many conservation guidelines and related fields cover both plants and animals. These living things are not introduced by humans but are found wild. Actually, different wildlife live in every ecosystem, including forests, oceans, deserts, and more. ____16____ Here are some reasons. Wildlife maintains balance in ecosystems. Every living thing is connected. If even just one organism becomes threatened or extinct, it has an effect on the entire ecosystem. It disrupts the food chain, sending shockwaves through the environment. What’s worse, threats to species rarely happen in isolation. ____17____ Diversity means healthier ecosystems. When discussing wildlife, you’ll often hear the term “biodiversity”. This refers to the number of species in an ecosystem. Healthy ecosystems have a lot of diversity. ____18____ If there are fewer plant species, a disease that affects them spreads faster and more effectively. Wildlife provides nutrients for humans. Everything we eat comes from either an animal or a plant originally. While we don’t eat as much “wildlife” as we used to because the food supply chain has become so industrial, crops and animals were wildlife at one point. ____19____ Protecting wildlife and natural habitats strengthens food security around the world. ____20____ Wildlife conservation areas and preserved natural habitats attract visitors from all over the world. Many places depend on wildlife for tourism, which makes up over 10% of the world’s GDP. Countries like Brazil, Australia, Kenya, and more are especially dependent on tourism. Without wildlife, the economy of many countries would suffer significantly. A. Why does wildlife matter? B. Wildlife has cultural significance. C. Wildlife is important for the economy. D. Why can they live in harmony with each other? E. Without a variety of food sources, our nutrition suffers. F. Thus, protecting every species is vital for maintaining ecosystems. G. And a wide variety of plants means greater productivity and better health. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要阐述了野生动植物的重要性及其保护意义，从维持生态平衡、促进生态系统健康、保障人类营养以及推动经济发展等多个角度展开论述。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Actually, different wildlife live in every ecosystem, including forests, oceans, deserts, and more.(实际上，不同的野生动植物生活在每一个生态系统中，包括森林、海洋、沙漠等等)”可知，不同的野生动植物生活在每一个生态系统中；再根据下文“Here are some reasons.(以下是一些原因)”可推知，此处应提出一个需要解释原因的问题，A项“为什么野生动植物很重要？”符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Wildlife maintains balance in ecosystems. Every living thing is connected. If even just one organism becomes threatened or extinct, it has an effect on the entire ecosystem. It disrupts the food chain, sending shockwaves through the environment. What’s worse, threats to species rarely happen in isolation.(野生动物维持着生态系统的平衡。每一个生物都是相互关联的。哪怕只有一个生物受到威胁或灭绝，也会对整个生态系统产生影响。它会破坏食物链，并在环境中引发连锁反应。更糟糕的是，物种受到的威胁很少是孤立发生的)”可知，本段强调野生动物在维护生态平衡中的作用，及物种之间相互关联、威胁，不会孤立存在。F项“因此，保护每一种生物对于维持生态系统来说至关重要”是对本段内容的总结，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据下文“If there are fewer plant species, a disease that affects them spreads faster and more effectively.(如果植物种类减少，那么影响这些植物的疾病就会传播得更快、更猛烈)”可推知，上文应说明植物种类多样的好处，G项“而种类繁多的植物则意味着更高的产量和更好的健康状况”符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Wildlife provides nutrients for humans. Everything we eat comes from either an animal or a plant originally.(野生动植物为人类提供营养。我们吃的所有东西最初都来自动物或植物)”可推知，空处应承接上文，进一步说明野生动植物对人类的重要性。E项“如果没有多样化的食物来源，我们的营养就会受到影响。”符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Many places depend on wildlife for tourism, which makes up over 10% of the world’s GDP.(许多地方依靠野生动植物发展旅游业，旅游业占世界GDP的10%以上)”可推知，本段主要讲述野生动植物对经济的重要性。C项“野生动植物对经济发展至关重要。”符合语境。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30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入空白处的最佳选项。 Andrew was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at the age of eight.

While##Although##Though 39. was introduced 40. Interestingly 41. mixture 42. a 43. as 44. cultural 45. sharing 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了茶在不同文化交流中的桥梁作用。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：近年来，茶，世界上最古老的饮品之一，已成为连接不同文化的桥梁。根据时间状语“In recent years”可知，此处强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has +过去分词”，主语tea是不可数名词，所以用has become。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：上个月在伦敦举行的一场特别展览上，参观者对一个名为“当东西方在茶杯中相遇”的独特展示惊叹不已。句中已有谓语动词were amazed，此处应用非谓语动词。display与title之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词titled作后置定语，修饰display。 【38题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽然中国是茶的发源地，但英国人发展出了他们自己独特的传统——下午茶。根据语境，前后句之间是让步关系，即“虽然中国是茶的发源地，但是……”，所以用while/although/though引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然，尽管”，句首单词首字母大写。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：这个习俗在19世纪40年代被引入，现在已成为英国优雅的象征。根据时间状语“in the 1840s”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语This custom与introduce之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were +过去分词”，主语This custom是单数，所以用was introduced。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：有趣的是，展览突出了这两种传统是如何开始相互学习的。此处位于句首，修饰整个句子，应用副词Interestingly，意为“有趣的是”，句首单词首字母大写。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：在中国，年轻人越来越被传统茶与西方风味的创意融合所吸引，比如奶盖茶或水果冷泡茶。根据空前的the creative可知，此处应用名词mixture，意为“混合，融合”，作介词to的宾语，是不可数名词。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：与此同时，在英国，人们对中国传统茶道“功夫茶”的兴趣与日俱增。此处泛指“一种日益增长的兴趣”，growing是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【43题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：与此同时，在英国，人们对中国传统茶道“功夫茶”的兴趣与日俱增。be known as为固定短语，意为“被称为，作为……而闻名”。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：“茶不仅仅是一种饮品；它是文化交流的一种媒介，”茶专家莎拉·汤普森说。此处修饰名词exchange，应用形容词cultural，意为“文化的”，cultural exchange表示“文化交流”。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：她相信，通过分享享受茶的不同方式，不同背景的人可以更好地相互理解。by为介词，后接动名词作宾语，所以此处用sharing。 第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节　(满分15分) 46. 上周日你校举行了弘扬中华传统文化的活动。请你以“Promote traditional Chinese culture”为题给校英文报写一篇报道，内容包括: (1)活动内容； (2)活动的意义。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Promote traditional Chinese culture ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Promote traditional Chinese culture Our school held an activity to promote traditional Chinese culture last Sunday.

For the past fifteen years, every Wednesday, she has driven twenty minutes to volunteer at the nursing home where she once worked as a healthcare aide (助手). She was forced to retire when the government made sixty-five the age of retirement. She always said she would still be working if she hadn’t been made to quit. Loving the work and the residents, she returned as a volunteer. Even now, older than many of the residents, she continues to give her time. She still treats the “dear old souls” with the same energy as when she was employed. When she worked, she worked hard. Raising five children on a farm, managing a large garden, and later studying at night school to become a healthcare aide, she never avoided responsibilities. At the nursing home she fed residents, bathed them, and cleaned up. Once an older woman, embarrassed after incontinence (失禁), asked how Mom could sing while calmly and cheerfully cleaning things up. To Mom, who had cared for many children and a sick mother-in-law, it was simply part of life. On night shifts (夜班), while others dozed (打盹), Mom knitted or did small projects, always ready to comfort someone after a bad dream. She was known for her hard work and cheer. Now her role is lighter: She visits, listens, and encourages residents to join activities. Her Wednesday programs are best attended. “A lot of them would just sit in their rooms being lonely,” she says. “I don’t give them a choice. I tell them there’s a lovely program and, before they can say no, there we are.” She walks beside some, pushes others in wheelchairs, and makes sure no one feels left out. Not everyone agrees at once, but Mom never gives up; she often wins over the most unwilling. 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 Wednesday afternoon, a resident firmly refused to leave his room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To everyone’s surprise, the resident was walking beside Mom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One Wednesday afternoon, a resident firmly refused to leave his room. He sat by the window, staring outside with a distant look. Mom knocked gently and stepped in, her voice calm but cheerful. She asked about the flowers in the garden, the books on his shelf, and even told him about her own farm years. At first he barely responded, but Mom did not give up. She pulled a chair close, sat quietly, and listened with patience. Little by little, his frown softened, and he began to speak about his younger days, about the work he had done and the family he missed. To everyone’s surprise, the resident was walking beside Mom. She had taken his arm lightly, guiding him toward the hall where music was playing. Other residents looked up, astonished, as he joined the circle for the first time. Mom smiled as if nothing unusual had happened, but I could see how much her persistence meant. Watching them, I realized what her presence brought: not just company, but the courage to step out of loneliness. Through her simple acts, she gave the residents not only care but also a sense of being valued. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者八十岁的母亲退休后，坚持每周三去养老院做志愿。她一生勤恳有担当，退休后仍热心陪伴老人、鼓励他们参与活动。她耐心开导孤僻老人，用坚持与温柔驱散孤独，给予老人关怀、陪伴与被珍视的温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写妈妈耐心开导孤僻老人，用坚持与温柔驱散孤独。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写妈妈给予老人关怀、陪伴与被珍视的温暖，老人被打动。 2.续写线索：妈妈耐心开导——妈妈坚持陪伴——老人被打动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/quit ②回复：respond/reply ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①吃惊：astonished/stunned ②孤独：loneliness/aloneness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Watching them, I realized what her presence brought: not just company, but the courage to step out of loneliness.（运用了现在分词作状语和what引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】She had taken his arm lightly, guiding him toward the hall where music was playing.（运用了where引导定语从句和现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高 一 英 语 注意事项: 1.答题前,考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 第一部分　听力(共两节,满分30分) 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节　(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例:How much is the shirt?

As American inventors, they challenged the long-held belief that human flight required gas-filled balloons. By focusing on mechanical engineering and persistent experimentation, they eventually proved that a powered, heavier-than-air machine could conquer the sky, which marked the threshold of a new era. Growing up with a passion for mechanics, the Wright brothers didn’t achieve success overnight. They drew inspiration from their experience with kites and bicycles, integrating these diverse concepts into their early designs. To test their theories, they chose Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, where the Atlantic coast provided ideal wind conditions. Through countless glider (滑翔机) tests on the sandy dunes, they painstakingly solved the complex problems of balance and control that had defeated previous inventors. The turning point arrived on December 17th, 1903. Their newly built aircraft, powered by a gasoline engine with a 12-meter wingspan, sat ready on the track. That morning, Orville made the world’s first powered flight, covering 36 meters in a mere 12 seconds. Although only a few witnesses and a single camera captured the moment, and newspapers largely ignored the news, this brief flight fundamentally changed the course of human history. Recognition, however, was delayed for nearly five years. It wasn’t until 1908, when Wilbur performed demonstration flights in France and the U.S. War Department showed interest, that the brothers became global heroes. Despite their sudden fame, the Wrights remained modest, returning to their hometown to focus on technical improvements and flight instruction rather than seeking public attention. Today, their original plane rests in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., near moon rocks and advanced spacecraft. This contrast serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come. From a 12-second hop to lunar exploration, the Wright brothers’ legacy (遗产) continues to inspire those who dare to look upward and imagine the impossible. 4. What does the underlined word “threshold” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Beginning. B. Challenge. C. Expectation. D. Conclusion. 5. What was the main challenge the Wright brothers overcame? A. Designing a powerful gas engine. B. Finding a place with suitable wind. C. Achieving balance and control in flight. D. Gaining recognition from the authority. 6. How did the brothers react to their sudden fame? A. They focused on moon exploration. B. They sought their fortune in Europe. C. They enjoyed being interviewed by newspapers. D. They remained devoted to improving their craft. 7. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. The Wright Brothers: From Toys to Sky B. Kitty Hawk: The Birthplace of Aviation C. Mechanical Engineering in the 20th Century D. The Technical Challenges of Early Aircraft C Are you curious about the rich history behind Pakistan’s different musical traditions? From ancient to modern styles, Pakistani music offers a fascinating journey through culture and creativity. Music in Pakistan dates back to ancient times, when early musical instruments were found in the Indus Valley Civilization. Over centuries, different cultures and ruling powers shaped its growth, creating a unique musical identity. After Pakistan became independent in 1947, its music continued to grow. Classical musicians like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Roshan Ara Begum kept traditional forms such as Ghazal and Khayal alive. In the 1960s and 1970s, film music became popular, followed by the rise of pop music in the 1980s, with the band Vital Signs leading the way. Today, Pakistan’s music scene mixes tradition with modern styles. Folk (民间的) music varies across places, using instruments like the Dhol and Rubab. Artists such as Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi have brought these local sounds to the mainstream. Meanwhile, pop and rock remain popular, with bands like Junoon and singers like Atif Aslam winning wide fame. In recent years, hip-hop has also appeared, with artists like Bohemia connecting with young listeners. Pakistani music has gained world-wide recognition. The powerful singing of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and the lively performances of modern bands have won fans across the world. Partnerships with international artists and platforms like Coke Studio continue to introduce Pakistani music to new listeners. Pakistan’s music is like a colorful cloth made from many different cultural influences, historical traditions, and new creative ideas. From the old instruments that have been used for hundreds of years to modern partnerships with artists from around the world, Pakistani music shows the country’s rich cultural history and its active connection with the rest of the world. From classical music to modern beats, Pakistani music tells the story of a nation through its ever-changing sounds. Whether you love music or are just beginning to explore, there is always something new to discover in this lively musical culture. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To compare different music. B. To explain the history in detail. C. To lead in the topic. D. To describe the background. 9. What forms Pakistan’s unique musical style? A. Cultural and ruling influences. B. Early instrument discovery. C. Indus Valley Civilization history. D. Pakistan’s ancient civilizations. 10. What can we learn about Pakistan’s music development? A. Classical music disappeared after 1947. B. Today’s music is mainly modern styles. C. Its pop music began in the 1960s. D. Film music was popular before pop music. 11. What does the colorful cloth suggest about Pakistan’s music? A. It has a very long history. B. It mixes several cultural patterns. C. It’s popular mainly in certain places. D. It mainly uses traditional instruments. D Hundreds of thousands of conversations with a new chat robot have been found in search engine results. Users did not know this would happen. When the users of the new chat robot press a “share” button, a unique link is created. This link was meant for sharing with friends, but it also made the chats searchable on the Internet. A recent search found nearly 300,000 conversations from the new chat robot online. One expert called AI chatbots a “privacy disaster”. Forbes first reported this problem. They found more than 370,000 user conversations on the Internet. The BBC saw chats where users asked the new chat robot to create passwords, make meal plans for weight loss, and answer medical questions. This has happened before with other AI chat robots. A famous AI company recently stopped an experiment where shared AI chats appeared in search results. The company said chats are private unless users choose to share them. Earlier this year, another AI company also faced criticism when shared AI conversations appeared in a public feed. User names may be hidden in shared chats, but the conversations can still contain personal information. Experts say this is a serious privacy problem. “AI chat robots are a privacy disaster in progress,” said Prof Luc Rocher from University of Oxford. He added that leaked (泄露的) chats have shown full names, locations, mental health details, and business information. These leaks stay online forever. Carissa Veliz from University of Oxford said users were not told that their shared chats would appear in search results. “Our technology doesn’t even tell us what it’s doing with our data, and that’s a problem,” she said. 12. What can we know about the shared conversations with the new chat robot? A. The conversations are searchable. B. BBC first reported the conversation. C. About 370,000 chats were found online. D. An AI company formally responded. 13. What is Prof Luc Rocher’s attitude towards AI chat robots’ privacy issues? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 14. What is Carissa Veliz’s view about tech companies? A. They lack enough entertainment options. B. They don’t inform users how data is used. C. They overcharge for AI chatbots. D. They focus too much on privacy protection. 15. What is mainly talked about in the text? A. Development of AI chat robots. B. How to use AI chat robots safely. C. Privacy leaks of AI chat robots. D. Suggestions on improving AI chat robots. 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。 When you hear the term “wildlife”, you might picture animals. However, many conservation guidelines and related fields cover both plants and animals. These living things are not introduced by humans but are found wild. Actually, different wildlife live in every ecosystem, including forests, oceans, deserts, and more. ____16____ Here are some reasons. Wildlife maintains balance in ecosystems. Every living thing is connected. If even just one organism becomes threatened or extinct, it has an effect on the entire ecosystem. It disrupts the food chain, sending shockwaves through the environment. What’s worse, threats to species rarely happen in isolation. ____17____ Diversity means healthier ecosystems. When discussing wildlife, you’ll often hear the term “biodiversity”. This refers to the number of species in an ecosystem.

For the past fifteen years, every Wednesday, she has driven twenty minutes to volunteer at the nursing home where she once worked as a healthcare aide (助手). She was forced to retire when the government made sixty-five the age of retirement. She always said she would still be working if she hadn’t been made to quit. Loving the work and the residents, she returned as a volunteer. Even now, older than many of the residents, she continues to give her time. She still treats the “dear old souls” with the same energy as when she was employed. When she worked, she worked hard. Raising five children on a farm, managing a large garden, and later studying at night school to become a healthcare aide, she never avoided responsibilities. At the nursing home she fed residents, bathed them, and cleaned up. Once an older woman, embarrassed after incontinence (失禁), asked how Mom could sing while calmly and cheerfully cleaning things up. To Mom, who had cared for many children and a sick mother-in-law, it was simply part of life. On night shifts (夜班), while others dozed (打盹), Mom knitted or did small projects, always ready to comfort someone after a bad dream. She was known for her hard work and cheer. Now her role is lighter: She visits, listens, and encourages residents to join activities. Her Wednesday programs are best attended. “A lot of them would just sit in their rooms being lonely,” she says. “I don’t give them a choice. I tell them there’s a lovely program and, before they can say no, there we are.” She walks beside some, pushes others in wheelchairs, and makes sure no one feels left out. Not everyone agrees at once, but Mom never gives up; she often wins over the most unwilling. 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 Wednesday afternoon, a resident firmly refused to leave his room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To everyone’s surprise, the resident was walking beside Mom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
