In 2023.David Ferguson was awarded the Orchard Awards.a recognition to interational friends for enhancing cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world.As he stated in his acceptance speech,among the people who built the Forbidden City,there were craftsmen, and there were also those who helped them carry materials."Translators are the wood carricrs," he said,"What we build is development,prosperity and world peace." 商二 英语第4页共12页 24.Why did Ferguson decide to become a journalist? A.To pursuc a career in China B.To introduce Chinese culture. C.To present a true image of China D.To comparc China and the West 25.What factors contributed to China's cconomic success,according to Ferguson?

D.Chinese people's generosity and patience. 26.Why did Ferguson compare translntors to"wood canicrs"? A.They take on minor responsibilities. B.They play a crucial but hidden role.

AA True Story Behind Western Media B.A Secret of China's Rapid Development C.A Foreigner's Passion for Academic Exchange D.A British Man's Devotion to Documenting China C lmaginc you're writing a poem,thymes must be paired up before you start a new line.It tumns out that AI does something similar!When Claude,a large language model (LLM),is given the first line "he saw a camrot and had to grab it",it begins thinking about words like "rabbit"almost immediately.writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is uexpected Scientists at Anthropic,the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool,a"digital microscope",lets scientists look at which parts of the Al's neural( network light up when it's working on different tasks.If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit,then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in Al research,for example,whether a multilingual(多语言的)chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language..When Claude is asked for the opposite of "big"in English,or the same concept in Chinese,the same featue lights up in every case,before more language-specific circuits kick in to"ranslate"the concept of smallness into a particular word.This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought 高二 英语第5页共12页 Other insights,though,arc less encouraging.Wheu Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer math questions,the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion,and what it actually thought,might not always be the same.Worse still,ask a leading question-suggesting that the answer"might be 4",and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agrce with the question,even if the ug熙cstion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the samc in the future.The goal,after all,is not to have to do brain surgery,but to know what it's thinking. 28.What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A.Al can deal with complex tasks. B.AI can simplify rhyming lines. C.AI can write texts as programmed. D.AI can plan sentences in advance 29.How does "digital microscope"function in the rescarch? A.By working on different jobs. B.By matching language pattems. C.By tracking AI's thinking activities. D.By activating AI's "brain"potentiaL 30.What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A.It may make stuff up. C.It may lcave clues out B.It may skip chains of thought D.It may give logical reasoning. 31.Which of the following titles best suits this text? A.Why Al Still Gets It Wrong B.The Rise of AI Chatbots C.Chatbots'Language Magic D.Looking Inside Al's Mind D Planting trees alone won't stop global warming,and nature-based climate solutions are not a license to kecp cmitting().That's the underlying message of a paper published last f!in Nature by a group of climate scicntists. Increasingly,Weaver,onc of the scicntists says,fossil fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset()their greenhouse gas emissions-but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming.Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offscts. Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem:the cmission of grecnhouse gases into the atmosphere.They go up,and we necd them to come down.The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place.But we also have to get them down-permanently,not attached to a tree.Claiming"I'm not going to cut 商二 英语第6页共12页 down that tree over there if you give me money"is not a carbon offset.It's like me saying to you,"Please give me $10,000;otherwise,I'm going to go to my car dcaler and buy a big,gas- heavy SUV."It's just silly. The problem with our current understanding of net zcro is that it docsn't reflect the time periods involved.When we burn fossil carbon,really what we're doing is taking ancient forests that died and becamc coal over tens of millions of years-at high pressures decp under the Earth's surface-and we're putting that up in the atmosphcre in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somchow be an offset.A trce lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmuosphere.That's why we refer to geological nct zcro. It means that emissions from fossil fucls must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves,whcther it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage. 32.What is the idea of the group of climate scicntists? A.Nature-based climatc solutions really work very well. B.Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming. C.Buying carbon credits is cffective net-zero cmissions. D.The logic of offsets,maybe imperfect,is to be discussed. 33.How does the writer explain his point in para.3? A.By analysis. B.By definition. C.By comparison. D.By description. 34.What is the problem when people try to understand net zero? A.They tumn a blind eye to the relevant durations. B.They overestimate the number of trees nceded. C.They overempbasize the direct air capture ability. D.They fail to consider the geological reserve ability. 35.What does the underlined word "sequcstered"in the last paragraph mean? A Stored. B.Rcleased C.Produced. D.Destroyed. 第二节（共5小题：每小愿2.5分，满分125分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 高二 英语第7页共12页 The appealing flavors of China's local specialties have defined Fuchsia Dunlop's career.

For a long time,historinns assumed that Chinese cooking developed its enonnous variety becnuse pcople hnd to make the most of scarce resources.40 Dunlop stresses the value that the Chinesc have always placed on culinary ingemuity )practicality and pleasure were always the driving force.To understand the Chinese through their culinzry history is also to scc them in their best light-as inventive,adaptable,and open-minded. A.How did Chincsc cooking develop? B.In doing so,she has become the voice of a more genuine past C.Dunlop's goal is to rescuc Chinesc food from its reputation in the West. D.Imvitation to a Banguet has sold 50,000 copies since its publication there. E.More recent scholarship suggests that the centrality of food drove innovation.

I'm the only procrastinator in my family.My parents and sister were all bom with the"do it right now"gift.They are always in a rush,as if closcly rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally,I prefer a more relaxed pace.When my parents voiced their concem about my tendencies,saying "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today,"'No way!"I responded,confidently presenting my research as a defense.It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project.In these cases,delaying a decision can be beneficial.This was because our minds continuc to reflcct on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them,which could lead to more creative solutions.My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride.My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister's...or so I thought At school we'd been talking about architecture and design.As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr.Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete.We were expected to choose our materials,construct a small building and make use of things we had leamed in class.Not only would the winners receive extra credit.but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria."I have no clue how I could get it done,"my fricnd Nate sighed in despair.I didn't say anything.Not because I shared his anxiety-but because I was not nervous at all.I loved hands-on projects!Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria,I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone.So relaxed was I that I didn't give it a second thought for weeks. 高二 英语第11页共]2页 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右： 2.请技如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Before I kew it.I had only one day left for the project.

Our school library has launched a fascinating activity called “Book Blind Box”. Every month, the librarians prepare book boxes around different themes, such as mystery, history, or sci-fi, and students can borrow them without knowing what’s inside. It feels like opening a surprise gift! Last week, I picked a box themed “Adventure Stories” and discovered an amazing novel I wouldn’t have chosen otherwise. It opened my eyes to new genres, and I enjoyed every moment of my reading journey. I highly recommend similar activities at your school! Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写范文参考 Para.1 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic, I hastily and quickly gluing together what I pulled out from our recycle bin, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. Several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed constructions. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was obvious that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had. Para.2 That taught me a great lesson. I learnt from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks on time, but also I felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
