And I’m sure most of you are familiar with what needs to be done, the rules and the schedule. But let me review it once more. So, first of all, clothing: since it’s still quite cold in March, you’ll definitely need to wear a pair of good waterproof boots. Make sure you don’t come in your sports shoes as those will get wet very easily. Waterproof trousers and a good jacket are also advisable. Now, I’m sure you remember that you don’t need to bring protective gloves and big plastic bags, as the school will provide you with those at the beach before we start cleaning. During the event, there will be water and orange juice available if you’re thirsty. But if you think you might feel hungry while we’re actually collecting the rubbish. Then you’d better bring some snacks with you. As there won’t be any food at that time. After we finish, however, a light lunch will be offered and we’ll gather together and have a pleasant picnic on the beach. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Embark on a charming journey through two million years of human history, art, and culture! The British Museum presents a remarkable array of exhibitions that offer unparalleled insights into the diversity of our global heritage.

This innovative exhibition combines museum artifacts with newly commissioned works, exploring the complex relationship between museums and the British Empire.(休·洛克通过大英博物馆的藏品重新审视了英国帝国的历史。这个创新的展览将博物馆文物与新委托创作的作品相结合，探索了博物馆与大英帝国之间的复杂关系)”可知，这个展览涉及英国帝国的历史，会吸引英国历史爱好者。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Exploration of the Silk Roads部分中“it illustrates the extensive cultural exchanges and historical connections long before modern globalization(它展示了早在现代全球化之前广泛的文化交流和历史联系)”和War Rugs from Afghanistan部分中“Carpet designs have long reflected their lives, including war, which has been a subject for Afghan weavers since 1971. This exhibition features these remarkable rugs alongside objects reflecting Afghanistan’s complex history and strategic importance(地毯设计长期以来反映了他们的生活，包括战争，自1971年以来，战争一直是阿富汗织工的创作主题。这个展览展示了这些非凡的地毯以及反映阿富汗复杂历史和战略重要性的物品)”可知，这两个展览都有重要的历史背景。故选B项。 B I didn’t always drink a lot of caffeine (咖啡因). I hardly enjoyed the taste of coffee until my mid-20s. But once I started working long hours from home, I soon needed a third cup of coffee just to feel the energy one used to give me. But by the end of the day, my heart felt like it was beating faster, I couldn’t relax, and it was difficult to fall asleep. According to Dr. Giuseppe Aragona, an online doctor, caffeine dependence isn’t sustainable (可持续的). “Imagine your body like your finances. Running it on caffeine is the same as surviving through credit cards,” he said. “Eventually, the bank (your body in this case) will want to cash-in, and this makes it much more likely for you to become tired, lose focus, and by the end of the day, want to achieve nothing.” So I decided to remove all caffeinated drinks from my life for two weeks, no matter how awful it felt. I started with three cups of lemon water in the morning, had a decaffeinated soda in the afternoon, and ended with a cup of tea. Though the effects, at first, were hardly the same, the act of getting up from my desk to refill my cup made the day a bit more bearable. Dr. Aragona also told me that kicking all the caffeine could help me find a more natural body rhythm (节律) and reduce my anxiety levels. But along the way, he said I’d likely be sleepy. “Of course, you will still get tired, but this is natural, because all caffeine is doing is saving that for later — and likely to a greater degree after you force your body into overdrive,” he added. The first three days were awful. I felt extremely tired, had really terrible headaches, and could barely make it to 10 a.m. without wanting to take a nap. After about a week, I felt like a different person. By the end of the two weeks, I felt a lot more in control of my mind, body, and life. And I didn’t miss caffeine as much as I thought I would. 24. Why did the author start to drink a lot of caffeine? A. To keep energetic. B. To stay up late. C. To enjoy the taste. D. To fight severe stress. 25. What is a consequence of caffeine dependence according to Dr. Aragona? A. Financial difficulties. B. Physical burnout. C. Longer working hours. D. Emotional breakdown. 26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Anxiety. B. Focus. C. Tiredness. D. Sleep. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s experience of quitting caffeine? A. Tiring but interesting. B. Boring but worthwhile. C. Painful but rewarding. D. Awkward but educational. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者因长时间工作依赖咖啡因，后在医生建议下戒断咖啡因，过程虽艰难但最终收获身心改善的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But once I started working long hours from home, I soon needed a third cup of coffee just to feel the energy one used to give me. (但一旦我开始在家长时间工作，我很快就需要第三杯咖啡，才能感受到以前一杯咖啡带来的能量)”可知，作者开始大量饮用咖啡因是为了保持精力充沛。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Eventually, the bank (your body in this case) will want to cash-in, and this makes it much more likely for you to become tired, lose focus, and by the end of the day, want to achieve nothing. (最终，银行（这里指你的身体）会要求兑现，这会让你更容易感到疲惫、注意力不集中，到一天结束时，什么都不想做)”可知，根据Aragona医生的说法，咖啡因依赖的后果是身体倦怠。故选B项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Of course, you will still get tired, but this is natural, because all caffeine is doing is saving that for later — and likely to a greater degree after you force your body into overdrive, (当然，你仍然会感到疲惫，但这是正常的，因为咖啡因所做的就是把那种感觉留到以后——而且在你强迫身体超负荷运转后，这种感觉可能会更强烈)”可知，that指代前文提到的“疲惫感”，即咖啡因只是暂时掩盖了疲惫，后续会更严重。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The first three days were awful. I felt extremely tired, had really terrible headaches, and could barely make it to 10 a.m. without wanting to take a nap. After about a week, I felt like a different person. By the end of the two weeks, I felt a lot more in control of my mind, body, and life. (最初的三天糟透了。我感到极度疲惫，头痛得厉害，不到上午10点就想打盹。大约一周后，我感觉像变了一个人。两周结束时，我感觉自己能更好地控制自己的思想、身体和生活)”可推断，作者戒断咖啡因的经历是痛苦但有回报的。故选C项。 C When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life? If you enjoy music every day, you are likely gaining many benefits. Music has a mathematical structure based on relationships between one note and the next. You may not be aware of it, but your brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. So, not surprisingly, listening to music can improve learning, memory, and mental alertness (警觉性). It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain, and improve sleep quality, mood, well-being, and happiness. And especially when moving to music, your brain gets washed in beneficial “feel-good” hormones (激素). So music can potentially extend your life and enhance its quality. Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people. In the U. S. alone, there are dozens of popular types, including Afro-beat, bluegrass, classical, and country. All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication. Musical traditions are also connected to cultural celebrations — think about the music you associate with birthdays, graduations, weddings, and so on. Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel. You likely pick specific types of music depending on whether you’re looking to relax or exercise, trying to be productive, or romantic. The right music can boost your mood and motivation to clean up, do homework, or work out. In contrast, you likely avoid music that makes you sad, or bored. 28. What is the function of the question in the beginning? A. To put forward a new concept. B. To offer some advice for readers. C. To get the information of your interest. D. To lead in the topic to be talked about. 29. Why can listening to music improve your ability to pay attention? A. It keeps you concentrated. B. It makes you do computing. C. It builds relations between notes. D. It draws your interest in new things. 30. The author mentions American music in paragraph 4 to show that ______. A. music connects different peoples B. the USA is a country with diverse cultures C. each type of music is enjoyed by unique people D. not all kinds of music are popular with people 31. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. Music has little effect on people’s emotions. B. People choose music based on their desired emotions. C. All types of music make people feel energetic. D. Sad music is always avoided by people. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了音乐在人们生活中的多重角色和益处，包括其对大脑功能的积极影响、文化的重要性以及根据个人情绪选择音乐的方式。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段提出“When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life?(你上一次想到音乐是什么时候，音乐在你的生活中扮演什么角色？)”，后文围绕音乐在生活中的作用展开，因此开头的问题是为了引出文章要讨论的话题。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”.(它还能提升专注力与觉察力，因为聆听、演奏音乐或随着音乐律动，能让你专注于当下，甚至让你进入“心流区”，在这个状态下，你会体验到“心流” 带来的愉悦感。)”可知，听音乐能提高注意力是因为它让你集中注意力。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people.(音乐是文化的重要组成部分，每种文化都有其人民创造、制作和欣赏的特定类型的音乐。)”和“All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication.(所有这些类型的音乐都有不同的起源，并与不同的亚文化相关联，但任何人都可以欣赏它们，从而导致跨文化的欣赏和交流。)”可知，作者提到美国音乐是为了表明音乐连接不同的人。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel.(你此刻的音乐偏好可能取决于你想要的感觉。)”可知，人们根据自己的情绪选择音乐。故选B。 D New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries. Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. “It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be noticeable.” “For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.” To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. 32. What is the primary goal of the research? A. To promote the development of green AI. B. To measure energy consumption worldwide. C. To warn about AI’s growing energy demands. D. To assess AI’s potential environmental effects. 33. What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.? A. It contributes to petrol-based activities. B. It will soon reach the global emission target. C. It has small influence at the national level. D. It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption. 34. What do researchers plan to do next? A. Extend their research to more countries. B. Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages. C. Develop AI applications to stop emissions. D. Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers. 35. Which of the following is the main idea of the text? A. AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions. B. AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating. C. Data centers emit more than previously estimated. D. AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新研究对人工智能（AI）是否会大幅增加全球温室气体排放这一普遍观点提出质疑，介绍了研究的过程、发现及未来计划。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. (他们的目的是了解如果人工智能的采用沿着目前的路径增加，环境可能会发生什么)”可知，该研究的主要目的是评估人工智能对环境的潜在影响。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U. S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. (研究人员指出，美国人工智能的总能源使用量与冰岛的电力消耗相当，但从国家或全球层面来看，这一数字仍然微不足道)”可知，美国人工智能的能源消耗在国家层面上影响较小。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. (Moreno-Cruz和Harding打算将同样的方法应用于更多的国家，以便了解人工智能的采用可能如何影响世界不同地区的环境结果)”可知，研究人员计划将他们的研究扩展到更多国家。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. (新研究对人工智能（AI）正在推动全球温室气体排放大幅上升的普遍看法提出了挑战)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了新研究对人工智能（AI）是否会大幅增加全球温室气体排放这一普遍观点提出质疑，研究发现人工智能对气候的影响比人们认为的要小得多。故选D项。 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。 Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? _____36_____, color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel. Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. _____37_____, they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. _____38_____. They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. _____39_____. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space. The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. _____40_____. A. While all of them are useful B. Whatever you’re looking for C.

Mother’s Day was coming, but he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without any money?” he thought. Tom picked up the newspaper that was lying on the sofa. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring(赞助)a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a beautiful and precious gift for her.” said the advertisement. “This is perfect!” thought Tom. He ran to his room with the newspaper. After taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want her to. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters(怪兽). And she gives me the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who may laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Tom liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品). “Mom will love having a special gift,” he thought. Tom checked his mailbox every day for his prize. Days went by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Tom still hadn’t heard anything about the contest. “What am I going to do now?” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a gift. And he still didn’t have money. He had to think of something.

He searched in his drawers and fortunately found a piece of delicate paper. He sat down straight on his chair, and began to write a letter in his best handwriting as a Mother’s Day present. “Dear Mom, I’m writing this to tell you that you are the best mother in the world…” With a sincere heart. Tom finished the letter and put it in an envelope with a smile on his face. On Mother’s Day, Tom gave his mother the envelope with the letter in it. She opened it and found the letter. Having finishing reading the letter, his mom swept him up into her arms(抱进怀里)with her eyes wet. “Thank you, my dear!” she said, hugging Tom more tightly. Leaning against his mother’s shoulder, Tom slowly explained why be had chosen to write a letter as a gift. After hearing the reason, his mom gently touched his head, saving, “To me, your letter is better than any other gift.” Hugging each other, they felt happy as if they had everything. Indeed, love should be made known to loved ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤姆想要在母亲节给母亲一份礼物，但是汤姆没有钱买礼物，一天汤姆在报纸上看到一则广告，参加比赛可以为妈妈赢得礼物，于是汤姆参加了，但是并未得奖，在母亲节的前一天，汤姆决定写一封信作为母亲的礼物，母亲接到后，告诉汤姆这是最好的礼物。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然后汤姆想他可以用另一种方式来表达他对母亲的爱。”可知，第一段可描写汤姆决定给母亲写一封信，表达自己对母亲的爱与感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“母亲节那天，汤姆把装着那封信的信封给了他妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写母亲收到礼物后的表现与感动，以及作者的感悟 2. 续写线索：汤姆想要在母亲节给母亲一份礼物——没礼物——看到广告——参加比赛——为获奖——换一种方式送母亲礼物——母亲收到礼物很感动——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①查找：search/look for/seek ②完成：finish/accomplish/complete ③选择：choose/select ④拥抱：hug/embrace/hold close 情绪类 ①真诚的：sincere/honest ②高兴的：happy/pleased/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1]Leaning against his mother’s shoulder, Tom slowly explained why be had chosen to write a letter as a gift.(why引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]Hugging each other, they felt happy as if they had everything.(as if引导的虚拟语气) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。What type of membership do you have?

The British Museum presents a remarkable array of exhibitions that offer unparalleled insights into the diversity of our global heritage. New Insights into Picasso Time: November 7, 2024 — March 30, 2025 In addition to his many paintings, sculptures, and drawings, Pablo Picasso had made over 2,400 prints (版画) during his career. This exhibition features prints made in the early 1900s and offers insights into Picasso’s life through his art, as well as his printmaking techniques. The Empire Through Hew Locke’s Eyes Time: October 17, 2024 — February 9, 2025 Hew Locke revisited the history of British imperial power through the lens of the British Museum’s collection.

But once I started working long hours from home, I soon needed a third cup of coffee just to feel the energy one used to give me. But by the end of the day, my heart felt like it was beating faster, I couldn’t relax, and it was difficult to fall asleep. According to Dr. Giuseppe Aragona, an online doctor, caffeine dependence isn’t sustainable (可持续的). “Imagine your body like your finances. Running it on caffeine is the same as surviving through credit cards,” he said. “Eventually, the bank (your body in this case) will want to cash-in, and this makes it much more likely for you to become tired, lose focus, and by the end of the day, want to achieve nothing.” So I decided to remove all caffeinated drinks from my life for two weeks, no matter how awful it felt. I started with three cups of lemon water in the morning, had a decaffeinated soda in the afternoon, and ended with a cup of tea. Though the effects, at first, were hardly the same, the act of getting up from my desk to refill my cup made the day a bit more bearable. Dr. Aragona also told me that kicking all the caffeine could help me find a more natural body rhythm (节律) and reduce my anxiety levels. But along the way, he said I’d likely be sleepy. “Of course, you will still get tired, but this is natural, because all caffeine is doing is saving that for later — and likely to a greater degree after you force your body into overdrive,” he added. The first three days were awful. I felt extremely tired, had really terrible headaches, and could barely make it to 10 a.m. without wanting to take a nap. After about a week, I felt like a different person. By the end of the two weeks, I felt a lot more in control of my mind, body, and life. And I didn’t miss caffeine as much as I thought I would. 24. Why did the author start to drink a lot of caffeine? A. To keep energetic. B. To stay up late. C. To enjoy the taste. D. To fight severe stress. 25. What is a consequence of caffeine dependence according to Dr. Aragona? A. Financial difficulties. B. Physical burnout. C. Longer working hours. D. Emotional breakdown. 26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Anxiety. B. Focus. C. Tiredness. D. Sleep. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s experience of quitting caffeine? A. Tiring but interesting. B. Boring but worthwhile. C. Painful but rewarding. D. Awkward but educational. C When was the last time you thought about music, and what role does music play in your life? If you enjoy music every day, you are likely gaining many benefits. Music has a mathematical structure based on relationships between one note and the next. You may not be aware of it, but your brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. So, not surprisingly, listening to music can improve learning, memory, and mental alertness (警觉性). It also boosts concentration and mindfulness, as listening, playing, or moving to music keeps you focused in the present moment and even puts you “in the zone” where you experience the happy state of “flow”. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain, and improve sleep quality, mood, well-being, and happiness. And especially when moving to music, your brain gets washed in beneficial “feel-good” hormones (激素). So music can potentially extend your life and enhance its quality. Music is a vital element of culture, and every culture has specific types of music created, produced, and enjoyed by its people. In the U. S. alone, there are dozens of popular types, including Afro-beat, bluegrass, classical, and country. All these types of music have different origins and are associated with different subcultures, but they can be enjoyed by anyone, leading to cross-cultural appreciation and communication. Musical traditions are also connected to cultural celebrations — think about the music you associate with birthdays, graduations, weddings, and so on. Your music preference in the moment can depend on how you want to feel. You likely pick specific types of music depending on whether you’re looking to relax or exercise, trying to be productive, or romantic. The right music can boost your mood and motivation to clean up, do homework, or work out. In contrast, you likely avoid music that makes you sad, or bored. 28. What is the function of the question in the beginning? A. To put forward a new concept. B. To offer some advice for readers. C. To get the information of your interest. D. To lead in the topic to be talked about. 29. Why can listening to music improve your ability to pay attention? A. It keeps you concentrated. B. It makes you do computing. C. It builds relations between notes. D. It draws your interest in new things. 30. The author mentions American music in paragraph 4 to show that ______. A. music connects different peoples B. the USA is a country with diverse cultures C. each type of music is enjoyed by unique people D. not all kinds of music are popular with people 31. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. Music has little effect on people’s emotions. B. People choose music based on their desired emotions. C. All types of music make people feel energetic. D. Sad music is always avoided by people. D New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries. Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained insignificant when viewed at national or global levels. “It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be noticeable.” “For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.” To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world. 32. What is the primary goal of the research? A. To promote the development of green AI. B. To measure energy consumption worldwide. C. To warn about AI’s growing energy demands. D. To assess AI’s potential environmental effects. 33. What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.? A. It contributes to petrol-based activities. B. It will soon reach the global emission target. C. It has small influence at the national level. D. It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption. 34. What do researchers plan to do next? A. Extend their research to more countries. B. Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages. C. Develop AI applications to stop emissions. D. Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers. 35. Which of the following is the main idea of the text? A. AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions. B. AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating. C. Data centers emit more than previously estimated. D. AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed. 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。 Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room.

Mother’s Day was coming, but he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without any money?” he thought. Tom picked up the newspaper that was lying on the sofa. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring(赞助)a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a beautiful and precious gift for her.” said the advertisement. “This is perfect!” thought Tom. He ran to his room with the newspaper. After taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want her to. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters(怪兽). And she gives me the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who may laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Tom liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品). “Mom will love having a special gift,” he thought. Tom checked his mailbox every day for his prize. Days went by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Tom still hadn’t heard anything about the contest. “What am I going to do now?” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a gift. And he still didn’t have money. He had to think of something. Tom closed his eyes, curled(使弯曲)his toes and thought hard. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Then Tom thought he could show his love for his mother in another way. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Mother’s Day, Tom gave his mother the envelope with the letter in it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
