But Impressionism is so much more. For example, Degas didn't consider himself an impressionist. In his late years, Monet painted water lilies that are 100% abstract. Did you know the four female Impressionists? Or that, during the first decades of Impressionism, the entire group was laughed at, but everything changed in the 1880s and 1890s thanks to one very stubborn art dealer. Cubism 101: Picasso and Braque Duration:1 h 31 min Average rating: 4.6 Lecturer: Joanna Kaszubowska As an art movement of the 20th century, Cubism is difficult to understand and often dismissed with a comment"my five-year-old could paint that”. This course introduces you to this art movement, whose core phase was just a few years. You will see in a nutshell how Cubism came to be and then how each artist took it in another direction. You will also understand why no one's five-year-old could paint a Cubist painting. Post-Impressionism 101 Duration: 48 min Average rating: 4.9 Lecturer: Magda Michalska Impressionists painted the world the way they saw it by using unrealistic colors and little shadowing. Post-Impressionists carried further the Impressionist liberation of expression. Yet, the definition of the time frame of the "movement” was a bigger problem. Fry determined it lasted from 1880 to 1905. However, John Rewald argued that it had begun later, in 1886, with the last exhibition of the Impressionists, and lasted until 1892, the beginning of Munch's Expressionism. The Art of Renaissance Florence Duration: 7 h 40 min Average rating: 4.9 Lecturer: Joanna Kaszubowska This is an insightful tour of Renaissance Florence and its celebrated art and culture. Learn how and why Florence became a crucial place for developments in Italian art in the period between 1300 and 1600. Learn about artists' innovations; meet the greatest: Botticelli, Masaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo and their sponsors the Medicis. Without the Florentine Renaissance, there wouldn't be Western art history as we know it today. 1. What does French Impressionism and Cubism 101 have in common? A. They are rated the same. B. They both happened in the 1900s. C. They share one lecturer. D. They are hard to understand. 2. Which of the four courses has the shortest duration? A. French Impressionism. B. The Art of Renaissance Florence. C. Cubism 101: Picasso and Braque. D. Post-Impressionism 101. 3. What's special about The Art of Renaissance Florence? A. It uncovers unknown secrets of Impressionism. B. It exposes the learners to a confusing art form. C. It introduces the artists as well as their sponsors. D. It demonstrates how Renaissance period started. B It’s 12km from Pelegrinska on the Eastern tip of Hvar Island, across a 3km channel of water to and around the coast of Palmizana island and I’m attempting to swim this distance. I’m taking part in UltraSwim 33.3, an open-water event that challenges swimmers to cover the distance of an English Channel swim. This may seem an odd way to start an article about writing. But I’ve long told students that writing a novel is less like a flash of inspiration and more like swimming the Channel. Training for the UltraSwim meant gradually increasing my distance, strengthening my technique, and adapting to cold water. That is exactly like writing. Just as you can build physical tirelessness, you can build creative staying power. For swimming, that meant cold water adaptability and learning to eat properly between swims. For writing, it means writing even when the words feel off and learning to rewrite what doesn’t work. Each week I saw my swim times improve, just as my early drafts began to read less like notes and more like chapters. This isn’t just my theory. Other authors have found similar inspiration in swimming. Even Hemingway was known for his love of swimming. The pool at his Key West home was more than just a luxury; it was a place for reflection, writing and escape. He swam elsewhere, too: in Spain, in France, wherever life took him. There’s a moment, somewhere towards the end of a long swim, when your arms ache and every fibre of your being wants out. But you keep going and touch the finish line. And then you collapse and say you will never do that again. The funny thing is, the swimmers were, within minutes of receiving their medals, already talking about “next year”— about training more seriously and coming back stronger. That’s the part most non-writers don’t understand: finishing the first draft of a novel isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of editing, rewriting, restructuring. You’ve made it to the other side, but the tide (潮汐) is already pulling you back for another pass. 4. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To describe a swimming route. B. To explain a competition’s rules. C. To connect two seemingly different things. D. To showcase an athletic achievement. 5. In what sense are swimming and writing similar according to the text? A. Adaptability and gradual progress are key. B. They require sudden bursts of inspiration. C. Physical strength is irrelevant to creativity. D. It takes a high level of focus to do them well. 6. Why does the author mention Hemingway’s swimming pool in Key West? A. To criticize his luxurious lifestyle. B. To suggest sporty writers can easily succeed. C. To highlight how swimming fueled his writing. D. To compare it with modern swimming facilities. 7. What does the author say about finishing the first draft of a novel? A. It’s like winning a swimming medal. B. It leads to the next phase of hard work. C. It marks the final step of the writing process. D. It’s less important than the initial brainstorming. C Up until recently, 16-year-old Esraa Elsharkawy had doubts about artificial intelligence (AI). “I just thought AI was just kind of off-putting,” she says. She worried the technology would take jobs away from humans, and she didn’t understand how it worked, but she wanted to learn more. The only problem: She couldn’t get that kind of education at her high school in Katy, Texas. For years, research has shown a digital divide in schools’ teaching about new technologies. For example, rich suburban schools are more likely to have computer science classes than poorer urban and rural districts. A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap: it invited about 30 high schoolers from low-income families to spend three weeks living on campus, learning about the math that powers generative AI and work together with Princeton teachers to build AI solutions for real-world issues: from drone (无人机)-based wildfire monitoring to medical problem-solving. At Princeton, campers worked on AI solutions to real-life challenges in medicine, robotics and environmental science. On a mid-July afternoon, AI4All campers sat in a group inside a lecture hall and listened closely to Princeton professor Jaime Fernández Fisac as he explained how AI could help drones fly better. The concepts were very difficult, but the high schoolers were following along. Elsharkawy attended the camp and said the experience changed her idea of AI. She said the AI4All program “definitely helps with the digital divide.” Ryan Chou, from California, called the camp a “small but impactful” step and wanted it expanded. Public K-12 teachers see both benefits and risks in AI, according to a survey. A majority of those surveyed believe AI will improve accessibility of learning materials for students with disabilities. Still, 40% of them say they don’t use AI at all. And more than half of the 40% believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically. 8. What does the underlined word“off-putting” mean in paragraph 1? A. Unsettling. B. Disappointing. C. Promising. D. Relaxing. 9. What’s the goal of the camp? A. To introduce AI to young learners. B. To popularize AI education. C. To apply AI in math learning. D. To address practical problems. 10. How did the campers react to the AI courses? A. They showed great enthusiasm. B. They showed respect for professors. C. They enjoyed the teaching methods. D. They had trouble following the lessons. 11. What is the attitude of most teachers surveyed towards AI? A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Objective. D. Unclear. D Fishing is a way of life for people who live on the floating villages of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake. These Southeast Asians depend on fish in the lake. But those fish are in trouble. Generally, their numbers in Tonle Sap Lake have been falling sharply. Compared to the number in 2003, just 12 percent as many could be found in 2019. Chevalier was part of a team that shared those data in Science of the Total Environment. “If the tendency (趋势) continues,” he says, “there will be nothing for people there to eat any more.” Dams (大坝) are a big problem, Chevalier says. These structures break up river systems. With growing human populations, overfishing becomes more of a threat. As people keep fishing, the share of fish left there could decrease even more. Pollution threatens freshwater ecosystems, too. People have also been changing the land in ways that damage the habitat in lakes and streams. And then there’s a growing number of non-native harmful species. Lastly, global warming has been causing harm by stressing both fish and their food sources. Still, the situation isn’t hopeless. Researchers are working to identify the most effective ways to change that. One way is to remove outdated or ill-placed dams. The largest such U.S. project took down four dams from the lower Klamath River. Soon after, thousands of salmon (鲑鱼) were swimming upstream through this newly opened stretch. Elsewhere, dam operators can reduce harm by changing river flows. Limiting flow too much can cause downstream areas to dry up. Smarter dam placement would also help. “Restoring habitat can help if done right. But this work costs money. And it’s hard to restore entire streams,” John Gray, a fish biologist, says. In 2022, scientists tried repopulating some fish species at Tonle Sap Lake. However, nearly half the fish were caught less than three months later. With each success or failure, scientists learn how better to deal with these big problems. Teens can get involved. Many conservation groups welcome help from people of any age. 12. Why is fishing mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To present a way of living. B. To lead to the main concern. C. To state the best fishing place. D. To stress the value of tradition. 13. Which of the following is a way to settle the problem caused by dams? A. Increasing the use of dams. B. Turning dams into river habitats. C. Choosing the locations for dams wisely. D. Limiting the river water flowing downstream. 14. What does Gray think of restoring habitat? A. It has limited benefits. B. It is of no use. C. It will bring worse results. D. It is money-saving. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Benefits of Protecting Fish. B. Threats to Southeast Asia. C. Remove Old Dams to save Salmon. D. Help Tonle Sap Fish Survive. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Everyone who knows the joy of loving an animal will also experience the sorrow of losing them. Here are heartfelt ways to heal (治愈) and honor their memory. Give yourself permission. If you’re heartbroken after the loss of your pet, you’re far from alone. Countless pet owners said they cried more for their animal than a human. That’s because animals don’t care what their owners look like, what they drive and where they live. ____16____ Thus, allow yourself to feel the loss of unconditional love. Stop blaming yourself. One of the most common emotions we feel when we lose a furry family member is guilt. Pet parents will say things like they didn’t walk their animal enough. ____17____ So repeat a sentence: I feel guilt, and it’s normal. This helps you catch it, before it goes deeper. Make feelings tangible (可感知). Those who experience a sudden loss of a companion animal may find themselves in a state of shock. ____18____ Looking at pictures of your animal and journaling your feelings are both ways to concretize the loss early in the process. ____19____ It’s widely known that animals are often more perceptive than humans. They may have taught you patience or helped you learn how to live in the moment. Incorporate (融合) these lessons into your life, and the spirit of your pet will always be with you. Open your heart again. If you wait until you no longer miss your animal, you may never be ready to welcome another. It’s advisable to acknowledge your sorrow while also opening your heart to the joy a new pet can bring. This starts with creating a loving environment for both you and your new furry friend. ____20____ A. Reflect on their wisdom. B. Acknowledging this death is crucial. C. It’s rare to have a relationship this pure. D. This often comes from a sense of powerlessness. E. Hold a gathering to remember what they brought you. F. Some people find comfort in creating a memorial garden. G. It’s important to treat your emotional state with mercy. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） “I want to be a champion jockey (骑师),” Billy Loughnane says, with the smile that is already something of a trademark.

How has he managed to stay so ____30____? “Everyone asks me the question,” he says, “and I just focus on my rides.” In 2025, Loughnane has not simply been ____31____, but the busiest rider in Britain, with 771 rides. Every ride involves much more than the one or two minutes on the ____32____. “A lot goes in before the race,” he says, “looking at my horse’s ____33____ races and its run style, and making a plan on what to do with the trainer before the race.

Looking after the family has always been her job. Since her daughters were married and her husband retired, she decided to get a job to experience a new life. She noticed the ice cream shop in her neighborhood and applied there. Due to a labor shortage, the owners, a middle-aged couple, were delighted to hire her. Three months later, Marta loved her job. One morning, Carol, the woman owner, explained that her husband David had the flu. Carol worried about running out of ice cream but said making more was impossible because it was David’s job and he was protective of his machines. The ice cream room was locked, and David refused to share the key location because he was worried that Carol wouldn’t know how to do it at all. Marta encouraged Carol to call David, but he insisted on coming in to make the ice cream himself. Carol only persuaded him to stay in bed by promising not to attempt making ice cream. Marta felt sorry for Carol and urged her to prove her capability. Despite her worry of not matching David’s skill, Carol agreed to try. While Carol served the customers, Marta began her own search. She started from the obvious places—drawers and apron （围裙） pockets—but found nothing. She checked inside the fridges and the dishwasher. Nothing. Then her eyes fell on a large horseshoe magnet （磁铁） lying on a shelf in the storeroom. It was just what she needed! She ran it over the sides of boxes of cups. Then through piles of kitchen towels and stacks of paper napkins. No place was ruled out. When she took the magnet to the bag of sugar, she almost missed the faint stirring of the tiny crystals （晶体）. She realised that something other than that sugar was in the bag. Marta moved the magnet around slowly until, eventually, a key jumped out and stuck to it. Marta handed the key over to Carol. “Now I’ll serve the customers while you go and do the magic,” she encouraged Carol. 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。 Carol resolved to succeed, following the recipes carefully. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, David arrived, surprised to see the scene. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三模拟测试二英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

(了解艺术家的创新；认识最伟大的艺术家：波提切利、马萨乔、列奥纳多·达·芬奇、拉斐尔、米开朗基罗，以及他们的赞助人美第奇家族)”可知，该课程的特别之处在于.既介绍艺术家，也介绍他们的赞助人。故选C项。 B It’s 12km from Pelegrinska on the Eastern tip of Hvar Island, across a 3km channel of water to and around the coast of Palmizana island and I’m attempting to swim this distance. I’m taking part in UltraSwim 33.3, an open-water event that challenges swimmers to cover the distance of an English Channel swim. This may seem an odd way to start an article about writing. But I’ve long told students that writing a novel is less like a flash of inspiration and more like swimming the Channel. Training for the UltraSwim meant gradually increasing my distance, strengthening my technique, and adapting to cold water. That is exactly like writing. Just as you can build physical tirelessness, you can build creative staying power. For swimming, that meant cold water adaptability and learning to eat properly between swims. For writing, it means writing even when the words feel off and learning to rewrite what doesn’t work. Each week I saw my swim times improve, just as my early drafts began to read less like notes and more like chapters. This isn’t just my theory. Other authors have found similar inspiration in swimming. Even Hemingway was known for his love of swimming. The pool at his Key West home was more than just a luxury; it was a place for reflection, writing and escape. He swam elsewhere, too: in Spain, in France, wherever life took him. There’s a moment, somewhere towards the end of a long swim, when your arms ache and every fibre of your being wants out. But you keep going and touch the finish line. And then you collapse and say you will never do that again. The funny thing is, the swimmers were, within minutes of receiving their medals, already talking about “next year”— about training more seriously and coming back stronger. That’s the part most non-writers don’t understand: finishing the first draft of a novel isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of editing, rewriting, restructuring. You’ve made it to the other side, but the tide (潮汐) is already pulling you back for another pass. 4. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To describe a swimming route. B. To explain a competition’s rules. C. To connect two seemingly different things. D. To showcase an athletic achievement. 5. In what sense are swimming and writing similar according to the text? A. Adaptability and gradual progress are key. B. They require sudden bursts of inspiration. C. Physical strength is irrelevant to creativity. D. It takes a high level of focus to do them well. 6. Why does the author mention Hemingway’s swimming pool in Key West? A. To criticize his luxurious lifestyle. B. To suggest sporty writers can easily succeed. C. To highlight how swimming fueled his writing. D. To compare it with modern swimming facilities. 7. What does the author say about finishing the first draft of a novel? A. It’s like winning a swimming medal. B. It leads to the next phase of hard work. C. It marks the final step of the writing process. D. It’s less important than the initial brainstorming. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章以作者参加超远距离游泳赛事为引，将写作小说与游泳类比，强调二者均需循序渐进、坚持适应，还借海明威事例佐证，指出小说初稿仅是后续工作的开始。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s 12km from Pelegrinska on the Eastern tip of Hvar Island, across a 3km channel of water to and around the coast of Palmizana island and I’m attempting to swim this distance. I’m taking part in UltraSwim 33.3, an open-water event that challenges swimmers to cover the distance of an English Channel swim. This may seem an odd way to start an article about writing. But I’ve long told students that writing a novel is less like a flash of inspiration and more like swimming the Channel.(从赫瓦尔岛东端的佩莱格里纳出发，沿着一条3公里的水道，前往帕尔米扎纳岛的海岸并环绕其周边区域，这段距离共计12公里。我正尝试游完这段距离。我正在参加“超长游泳33.3”活动，这是一项开放水域赛事，挑战游泳者完成英吉利海峡游泳的距离。这似乎并不是撰写文章的恰当开头方式。但我一直告诉学生，写一部小说不像突然获得灵感那样简单，而更像是游过英吉利海峡那样)”可知，第一段的目的是将两个看似不同的事物联系起来，为后文的类比论证铺垫。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Training for the UltraSwim meant gradually increasing my distance, strengthening my technique, and adapting to cold water. That is exactly like writing. Just as you can build physical tirelessness, you can build creative staying power. For swimming, that meant cold water adaptability and learning to eat properly between swims. For writing, it means writing even when the words feel off and learning to rewrite what doesn’t work.(进行超长距离游泳训练意味着要逐步增加游泳的距离、强化游泳技巧，并适应冰冷的水环境。这与写作的过程如出一辙。正如你可以锻炼出身体的耐力一样，你也能培养出创作的持久力。对于游泳而言，这意味着要适应冰冷的水环境，并学会在游泳间隙合理饮食。对于写作而言，则意味着即便感觉措辞不当也要坚持写作，并学会对不成功的作品进行修改)”可知，游泳和写作在“需适应挑战”与“逐步提升”这两点上高度相似。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Even Hemingway was known for his love of swimming. The pool at his Key West home was more than just a luxury; it was a place for reflection, writing and escape. He swam elsewhere, too: in Spain, in France, wherever life took him.(就连海明威也因热爱游泳而闻名。他在基韦斯特的家中所拥有的游泳池不仅是一种奢华享受，更是一个用于沉思、写作和逃避现实的场所。他还曾在其他地方游泳：在西班牙、在法国，以及随生活所至的任何地方)”可知，作者提及海明威在基韦斯特的游泳池是为了强调游泳对他的写作产生了怎样的影响。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That’s the part most non-writers don’t understand: finishing the first draft of a novel isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of editing, rewriting, restructuring. You’ve made it to the other side, but the tide (潮汐) is already pulling you back for another pass.(这是大多数非作家所不明白的一点：完成一部小说的初稿并非意味着结束，而是编辑、重写和重新构思的开始。你已经走过了这一关，但潮汐却已经在把你拉回原处，让你再来一遍)”可知，作者认为完成小说初稿会引领接下来艰苦工作的阶段。故选B。 C Up until recently, 16-year-old Esraa Elsharkawy had doubts about artificial intelligence (AI). “I just thought AI was just kind of off-putting,” she says. She worried the technology would take jobs away from humans, and she didn’t understand how it worked, but she wanted to learn more. The only problem: She couldn’t get that kind of education at her high school in Katy, Texas. For years, research has shown a digital divide in schools’ teaching about new technologies. For example, rich suburban schools are more likely to have computer science classes than poorer urban and rural districts. A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap: it invited about 30 high schoolers from low-income families to spend three weeks living on campus, learning about the math that powers generative AI and work together with Princeton teachers to build AI solutions for real-world issues: from drone (无人机)-based wildfire monitoring to medical problem-solving. At Princeton, campers worked on AI solutions to real-life challenges in medicine, robotics and environmental science. On a mid-July afternoon, AI4All campers sat in a group inside a lecture hall and listened closely to Princeton professor Jaime Fernández Fisac as he explained how AI could help drones fly better. The concepts were very difficult, but the high schoolers were following along. Elsharkawy attended the camp and said the experience changed her idea of AI. She said the AI4All program “definitely helps with the digital divide.” Ryan Chou, from California, called the camp a “small but impactful” step and wanted it expanded. Public K-12 teachers see both benefits and risks in AI, according to a survey. A majority of those surveyed believe AI will improve accessibility of learning materials for students with disabilities. Still, 40% of them say they don’t use AI at all. And more than half of the 40% believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically. 8. What does the underlined word“off-putting” mean in paragraph 1? A. Unsettling. B. Disappointing. C. Promising. D. Relaxing. 9. What’s the goal of the camp? A. To introduce AI to young learners. B. To popularize AI education. C. To apply AI in math learning. D. To address practical problems. 10. How did the campers react to the AI courses? A. They showed great enthusiasm. B. They showed respect for professors. C. They enjoyed the teaching methods. D. They had trouble following the lessons. 11. What is the attitude of most teachers surveyed towards AI? A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Objective. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能教育在不同学校中的差异，以及普林斯顿大学AI4All夏令营在缩小人工智能教育差距方面所做的努力和取得的成效，同时提及了公立K-12教师对人工智能的看法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Up until recently, 16-year-old Esraa Elsharkawy had doubts about artificial intelligence (AI). (直到不久前，16岁的埃斯拉·埃尔沙卡维还对人工智能持怀疑态度。)”和“She worried the technology would take jobs away from humans, and she didn’t understand how it worked, but she wanted to learn more. (她担心这项技术会夺走人类的工作，而且她不明白它是如何工作的，但她想更多地了解。)”可知，人工智能让埃尔沙卡维感到担忧。由此推知，她的话“I just thought AI was just kind of off-putting”表达了同样的意思，划线词off-putting意为“令人不安的”。A.Unsettling.令人不安的；B. Disappointing.令人失望的；C. Promising.有前途的；D. Relaxing.令人放松的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap: it invited about 30 high schoolers from low-income families to spend three weeks living on campus, learning about the math that powers generative AI and work together with Princeton teachers to build AI solutions for real-world issues (普林斯顿大学的一个免费夏令营AI4All希望帮助缩小这一差距：它邀请了大约30名来自低收入家庭的高中生在校园里生活三周，学习驱动生成性人工智能的数学知识，并与普林斯顿大学的老师一起为现实世界的问题构建人工智能解决方案)”可知，这个夏令营帮助来自低收入家庭的学生学习人工智能知识，目标是普及人工智能教育。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“On a mid-July afternoon, AI4All campers sat in a group inside a lecture hall and listened closely to Princeton professor Jaime Fernández Fisac as he explained how AI could help drones fly better. The concepts were very difficult, but the high schoolers were following along. (七月中旬的一个午后，“AI普及计划”夏令营的学员们齐聚演讲厅，全神贯注地聆听普林斯顿大学教授海梅·费尔南德斯·菲萨克的讲座。教授正在阐释人工智能如何优化无人机飞行性能，尽管这些概念晦涩难懂，但在场的中学生们却始终紧跟讲解思路。)”可知，尽管人工智能的概念很难，但高中生们都在努力跟上，表现出对人工智能课程的极大热情。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Public K-12 teachers see both benefits and risks in AI, according to a survey. A majority of those surveyed believe AI will improve accessibility of learning materials for students with disabilities. Still, 40% of them say they don’t use AI at all. And more than half of the 40% believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically. (根据一项调查，公立K-12教师看到了人工智能的好处和风险。大多数受访者认为，人工智能将提高残疾学生学习材料的可获得性。尽管如此，他们中40%的人表示他们根本没有使用人工智能。在这40%的人中，超过一半的人认为，学生每周使用人工智能会降低他们独立思考和批判性思考的能力。)”可知，大多数受访教师既看到了人工智能的好处，也看到了其风险，对人工智能持客观态度。故选C项。 D Fishing is a way of life for people who live on the floating villages of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake. These Southeast Asians depend on fish in the lake. But those fish are in trouble. Generally, their numbers in Tonle Sap Lake have been falling sharply. Compared to the number in 2003, just 12 percent as many could be found in 2019. Chevalier was part of a team that shared those data in Science of the Total Environment. “If the tendency (趋势) continues,” he says, “there will be nothing for people there to eat any more.” Dams (大坝) are a big problem, Chevalier says. These structures break up river systems. With growing human populations, overfishing becomes more of a threat. As people keep fishing, the share of fish left there could decrease even more. Pollution threatens freshwater ecosystems, too. People have also been changing the land in ways that damage the habitat in lakes and streams. And then there’s a growing number of non-native harmful species. Lastly, global warming has been causing harm by stressing both fish and their food sources. Still, the situation isn’t hopeless. Researchers are working to identify the most effective ways to change that. One way is to remove outdated or ill-placed dams. The largest such U.S. project took down four dams from the lower Klamath River. Soon after, thousands of salmon (鲑鱼) were swimming upstream through this newly opened stretch. Elsewhere, dam operators can reduce harm by changing river flows. Limiting flow too much can cause downstream areas to dry up. Smarter dam placement would also help. “Restoring habitat can help if done right. But this work costs money. And it’s hard to restore entire streams,” John Gray, a fish biologist, says. In 2022, scientists tried repopulating some fish species at Tonle Sap Lake. However, nearly half the fish were caught less than three months later. With each success or failure, scientists learn how better to deal with these big problems. Teens can get involved. Many conservation groups welcome help from people of any age. 12. Why is fishing mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To present a way of living. B. To lead to the main concern. C. To state the best fishing place. D. To stress the value of tradition. 13. Which of the following is a way to settle the problem caused by dams? A. Increasing the use of dams. B. Turning dams into river habitats. C. Choosing the locations for dams wisely. D. Limiting the river water flowing downstream. 14. What does Gray think of restoring habitat? A. It has limited benefits. B. It is of no use. C. It will bring worse results. D. It is money-saving. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Benefits of Protecting Fish. B. Threats to Southeast Asia. C. Remove Old Dams to save Salmon. D. Help Tonle Sap Fish Survive. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了柬埔寨洞里萨湖鱼类数量急剧下降的问题，分析了造成这一问题的多种原因，并介绍了一些可能的解决方案。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Fishing is a way of life for people who live on the floating villages of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake. These Southeast Asians depend on fish in the lake. But those fish are in trouble. (捕鱼是柬埔寨洞里萨湖水上村落居民的一种生活方式。这些东南亚人依赖湖里的鱼为生。但这些鱼正面临困境。)”可知，第一段先介绍了洞里萨湖浮村的人们的生活方式，然后引出这些鱼遇到了困境，即引出主要关注的问题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One way is to remove outdated or ill-placed dams.(一种方法是拆除过时或位置不当的大坝。)”和“Smarter dam placement would also help.(更明智的大坝选址也会有所帮助。)”可知，明智地选择大坝的位置是解决大坝造成的问题的方法。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Restoring habitat can help if done right. But this work costs money. And it’s hard to restore entire streams.(如果做得正确，恢复栖息地是有帮助的。但是这项工作需要花钱。而且很难恢复整个溪流。)”可知，Gray认为恢复栖息地的益处有限。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Fishing is a way of life for people who live on the floating villages of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake. These Southeast Asians depend on fish in the lake. But those fish are in trouble. (捕鱼是柬埔寨洞里萨湖水上村落居民的一种生活方式。这些东南亚人依赖湖里的鱼为生。但这些鱼正面临困境。)”以及下文可知，文章开篇指出洞里萨湖鱼类数量锐减及当地居民对鱼类的依赖，接着分析大坝、过度捕捞等威胁鱼类生存的因素，随后介绍移除旧坝、合理选址、恢复栖息地等保护措施，最后提到科学家的努力及青少年可参与保护。所以D项Help Tonle Sap Fish Survive (帮助洞里萨湖的鱼类生存) 涵盖“鱼类面临危机”和“保护措施”核心内容，符合主旨。故选D。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Everyone who knows the joy of loving an animal will also experience the sorrow of losing them. Here are heartfelt ways to heal (治愈) and honor their memory. Give yourself permission. If you’re heartbroken after the loss of your pet, you’re far from alone. Countless pet owners said they cried more for their animal than a human. That’s because animals don’t care what their owners look like, what they drive and where they live. ____16____ Thus, allow yourself to feel the loss of unconditional love. Stop blaming yourself. One of the most common emotions we feel when we lose a furry family member is guilt. Pet parents will say things like they didn’t walk their animal enough. ____17____ So repeat a sentence: I feel guilt, and it’s normal. This helps you catch it, before it goes deeper. Make feelings tangible (可感知). Those who experience a sudden loss of a companion animal may find themselves in a state of shock. ____18____ Looking at pictures of your animal and journaling your feelings are both ways to concretize the loss early in the process. ____19____ It’s widely known that animals are often more perceptive than humans. They may have taught you patience or helped you learn how to live in the moment. Incorporate (融合) these lessons into your life, and the spirit of your pet will always be with you. Open your heart again. If you wait until you no longer miss your animal, you may never be ready to welcome another. It’s advisable to acknowledge your sorrow while also opening your heart to the joy a new pet can bring. This starts with creating a loving environment for both you and your new furry friend. ____20____ A. Reflect on their wisdom. B. Acknowledging this death is crucial. C. It’s rare to have a relationship this pure. D. This often comes from a sense of powerlessness. E. Hold a gathering to remember what they brought you. F. Some people find comfort in creating a memorial garden. G. It’s important to treat your emotional state with mercy. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出养宠者都会经历失宠之痛，进而给出五条慰藉方法：允许自己悲伤、停止自责、让情绪可感、回想宠物启示、重新敞开心扉接纳新宠物。 【16题详解】 根据上文“That’s because animals don’t care what their owners look like, what they drive and where they live.(这是因为动物并不在意主人的长相、所驾驶的车辆以及居住的地方)”可知，前文强调动物不在意主人的外貌、座驾和住所，突出了宠物与主人关系的纯粹性。故C选项“没有几段关系能如此纯粹”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Stop blaming yourself. One of the most common emotions we feel when we lose a furry family member is guilt. Pet parents will say things like they didn’t walk their animal enough.(别再自责了。当我们失去一只宠物家庭成员时，最常有的感受就是内疚。宠物主人往往会说诸如“他们没有给宠物遛够”之类的话)”可知，该段围绕宠物离世后主人的愧疚感展开，还举例提到“没陪宠物走够路”这类想法。本句揭示愧疚感的根源：主人因无法改变宠物离世的事实，便将责任归咎于自身的小疏忽，产生了无力感。故D选项“这往往源于一种无力感”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Make feelings tangible (可感知). Those who experience a sudden loss of a companion animal may find themselves in a state of shock.(让情感变得可感知。那些突然失去陪伴宠物的人可能会陷入极度的震惊之中)”以及后文“Looking at pictures of your animal and journaling your feelings are both ways to concretize the loss early in the process.(看着你的动物的照片以及记录下自己的感受，都是在这个过程初期将这种失落感具体化的方法)”可知，段落核心是让悲伤可被感知，以应对突然失去宠物的冲击，B选项“认识到这种死亡是至关重要的”符合语境，指出处理悲伤的前提：必须先直面并承认宠物已经离世的事实。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据后文“It’s widely known that animals are often more perceptive than humans. They may have taught you patience or helped you learn how to live in the moment. Incorporate (融合) these lessons into your life, and the spirit of your pet will always be with you.(众所周知，动物往往比人类更具感知力。它们或许教会了你如何保持耐心，也帮助你学会了如何活在当下。将这些经验融入你的生活，你的宠物的精神将永远伴随着你)”可知，该段提到宠物能教会人耐心、活在当下等品质，并建议将这些融入生活。选项A作为段落主旨句，概括了“从宠物身上汲取智慧与启示”的核心。故A选项“思考他们的智慧”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Open your heart again. If you wait until you no longer miss your animal, you may never be ready to welcome another. It’s advisable to acknowledge your sorrow while also opening your heart to the joy a new pet can bring. This starts with creating a loving environment for both you and your new furry friend.(再次敞开心扉吧。如果你一直等到自己不再想念那只动物时才去迎接新的宠物，那你可能永远都不会准备好迎接另一只宠物的来到。建议你在面对这份悲伤的同时，也要敞开心扉去感受新宠物能带来的快乐。这首先要从为你自己和你的新毛茸茸的朋友营造一个充满爱的环境开始)”可知，段落主题是 “重新敞开心扉”，在怀念旧宠物的同时接纳新宠物。选项F提供了纪念旧宠物的具体方式 —— 打造纪念花园。故F选项“有些人会通过建造纪念花园来寻求慰藉”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） “I want to be a champion jockey (骑师),” Billy Loughnane says, with the smile that is already something of a trademark.

Since her daughters were married and her husband retired, she decided to get a job to experience a new life. She noticed the ice cream shop in her neighborhood and applied there. Due to a labor shortage, the owners, a middle-aged couple, were delighted to hire her. Three months later, Marta loved her job. One morning, Carol, the woman owner, explained that her husband David had the flu. Carol worried about running out of ice cream but said making more was impossible because it was David’s job and he was protective of his machines. The ice cream room was locked, and David refused to share the key location because he was worried that Carol wouldn’t know how to do it at all. Marta encouraged Carol to call David, but he insisted on coming in to make the ice cream himself. Carol only persuaded him to stay in bed by promising not to attempt making ice cream. Marta felt sorry for Carol and urged her to prove her capability. Despite her worry of not matching David’s skill, Carol agreed to try. While Carol served the customers, Marta began her own search. She started from the obvious places—drawers and apron （围裙） pockets—but found nothing. She checked inside the fridges and the dishwasher. Nothing. Then her eyes fell on a large horseshoe magnet （磁铁） lying on a shelf in the storeroom. It was just what she needed! She ran it over the sides of boxes of cups. Then through piles of kitchen towels and stacks of paper napkins. No place was ruled out. When she took the magnet to the bag of sugar, she almost missed the faint stirring of the tiny crystals （晶体）. She realised that something other than that sugar was in the bag. Marta moved the magnet around slowly until, eventually, a key jumped out and stuck to it. Marta handed the key over to Carol. “Now I’ll serve the customers while you go and do the magic,” she encouraged Carol. 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。 Carol resolved to succeed, following the recipes carefully. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, David arrived, surprised to see the scene. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Carol resolved to succeed, following the recipes carefully. She entered the ice - cream making room, her hands a bit shaky at first. But as she got started, her confidence grew. She measured the ingredients precisely, poured them into the machines, and set the controls according to the instructions. The familiar smell of ice - cream in the making filled the air. She watched closely as the mixture started to transform into the creamy delight they were known for. Suddenly, David arrived, surprised to see the scene. His eyes widened as he saw Carol working skillfully in the ice - cream room. At first, he was a bit shocked, but then a smile spread across his face. He walked over to Carol and said, “I see you didn't need me after all.” Carol laughed and replied, “Thanks to Marta, I managed. It's time you trusted me more.” David nodded, realizing his over - protectiveness was unnecessary. From then on, David and Carol worked together more harmoniously, and Marta felt proud of her part in bringing this change. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Marta在邻里的冰淇淋店工作，店主Carol的丈夫David因流感无法制作冰淇淋，且因过度保护制作机器而不愿告知钥匙位置。Marta帮助Carol找到了钥匙，鼓励Carol尝试制作冰淇淋。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“卡罗尔下定决心要成功，于是仔细地照着食谱操作”可知，第一段可描写Carol 进入制作间制作冰淇淋展开，描述她一开始有些紧张，随着操作的进行逐渐自信，精确测量原料、操作机器，冰淇淋制作过程中散发出熟悉的味道 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，大卫来了，看到这一幕，他很惊讶”可知，第二段可描写David看到Carol制作冰淇淋后的反应，从震惊到露出笑容，与 Carol 交流，意识到自己过度保护是不必要的，此后两人工作更加和谐，Marta 为自己促成这一改变而自豪。 2.续写线索：Carol进入制作间 - 起初紧张随后自信—操作机器制作冰淇淋— David到达— 震惊转微笑—与 Carol交流—认识到错误—二人和谐工作—Marta自豪。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②进入：enter/come into ③填满：fill/stuff 情绪类 ①惊讶的：shocked/astonished ②快乐：delight/pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She watched closely as the mixture started to transform into the creamy delight they were known for.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，以及省略关系代词that的定语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】David nodded, realizing his over-protectiveness was unnecessary.（运用了现在分词作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
