A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍联合国教科文组织推出的三门媒介与信息素养在线课程的相关信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Education for all must therefore include Media and Information Literacy (MIL) for all. With this recognition, UNESCO has supported the development of massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) on MIL in multiple languages, in cooperation with different partners.(因此，全民教育必须包括全民的媒介与信息素养。基于这一认知，联合国教科文组织与不同合作伙伴合作，支持开发了多语言的媒介与信息素养大规模开放在线课程。)”可知，教科文组织支持开发相关课程，是为了让更多人有机会接受MIL相关的培训，普及该素养。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“MIL: fostering A cognitive-Emotional Approach”部分中的“This self-directed and interactive course created by UNESCO aims to help learners gain a deep understanding of media literacy and recognize its significance in both their daily lives and society as a whole.(这门由联合国教科文组织打造的自主式互动课程，旨在帮助学习者深入理解媒介素养，并认识到其在日常生活和整个社会中的重要性。)”可知，第一门课程的特点之一是具有互动性。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。对比三门课程的开设周期，第一、二门课程均标注“Offer Period: Anytime (开设周期：随时可学)”，而第三门课程“Alfabetismo Meditáctico Informacional”标注“Present Offer Period: self-paced between 25 March-30 November 2026(当前开设周期：2026年3月25日至11月30日期间可自主安排学习进度)”，有明确的固定时间范围，这是其独特之处。故选A项。 B When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow, a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post. Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather. “This is the most snow I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life,” said Kirk, describing the intensity of the storm. At one point, conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building. “There was a solid hour that I really couldn’t help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow.” But as soon as he was able to get outside, Kirk got to work. He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow, including quail, prairie dogs, and skunks (臭鼬). “I was able to dig them out. Our skunks were completely snowed in,” he said. Despite the serious situation, there was even a moment of humor. “It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.’” Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow. For Kirk, staying through the storm wasn’t a question-it was part of the job. “A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.” 4. Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo? A. To wait for the rescue team. B. To ensure the safety of the animals. C. To repair the damaged staff building. D. To study the behavior of the animals. 5. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Frightening. D. Embarrassing. 6. What kind of picture does paragraph 4 describe? A. Animals’ fear and Kirk’s worry. B. Kirk’s efforts and animals’ reaction. C. Kirk’s loneliness and animals’ anger. D. The storm’s damage and animals’ suffering. 7. What do Kirk’s words in the last paragraph highlight? A. Harmony. B. Confidence. C. Reputation. D. Responsibility. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述暴风雪席卷野生动物园时，动物园管理员Kyle Kirk坚守岗位，连续三夜驻守园区，清理积雪、开辟通道、照料各类动物，同时展现部分动物面对风雪的不同状态，凸显主人公强烈的职业责任感。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.(威斯康星州马什菲尔德动物园管理员Kyle Kirk在园区连续留宿三晚，确保极端天气下所有二十七种动物都安全、得到照料)”可知，他留在动物园是为了保障动物的安全。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.(这真是hilarious，因为我觉得我们的臭鼬以为是我把雪给弄到这儿来了。它们愤怒地跺着脚，仿佛在说：“哦，现在你可以把雪拿走了。”)”可知，这是一种有趣的画面，进而推测hilarious意为“好笑的、有趣的”。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.(Kirk在围栏之间开辟了通道，以便像豪猪和臭鼬这样的动物能够重新活动起来，他还确保那些已经脱去冬季皮毛的狐狸有足够的温暖来应对突如其来的严寒。与此同时，动物园里的一些体型较大的动物则从容地应对了这场风暴。科迪亚克熊舒适地在周围徘徊，而猞猁在厚厚的积雪中也显得十分自在。)”可知，本段描述Kirk为动物开辟围场通道、照料换毛的狐狸，同时描写科迪亚克熊、猞猁等大型动物安然适应大雪的状态，整段内容一方面体现Kirk的救助努力，另一方面展现动物的不同反应。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”(他说：“很多人都可以请病假或被雪困住，但简单地说，我不能。”。“如果我们不以最好的方式照顾它们，就没有理由养这些动物。”)”能看出这番话凸显了他的责任感。 C AI art, a new form of art created by artificial intelligence technology, has become one of the most popular art trends in 2026. It refers to art works — paintings, music, sculptures and even literature — generated by AI programs under human guidance, and it is changing the way people create and appreciate art. AI art creation has its unique advantages. First, it is highly efficient: a professional AI program can generate hundreds of art drafts in a few hours, which saves a lot of time for artists. Second, it is creative: AI can combine different art styles and cultural elements that human artists may not think of, such as mixing Chinese ink wash painting with Western abstract art, or combining 2026 horse year folk art with future sci-fi elements. Third, it is accessible: ordinary people who have no professional art skills can also create their own AI art works by inputting simple keywords, making art creation no longer a “privilege” for artists. However, AI art also faces some heated discussions and challenges. Some people argue that AI art lacks “human emotion” — art is a reflection of human feelings and experiences, but AI can only create works based on data and algorithms, without real thoughts and emotions. Others worry about copyright issues: it is difficult to define who the real creator is when an AI generates an art work based on thousands of existing works. In fact, AI art is not a replacement for human art, but a new partner. More and more artists now use AI as a tool to assist their creation — they use AI to generate drafts, and then add their own emotions and ideas to polish the works. For intangible cultural heritage protection, AI also plays a key role: it can digitize ancient art works to prevent them from being lost, and help young inheritors innovate traditional art forms. In the new era, the fusion of AI and art is an inevitable trend. What we need to do is to make good use of AI technology, guide its healthy development, and let it work with human creativity to create more wonderful art works for the world. 8. What is the main feature of AI art creation according to paragraph 2? A. It is slow but creative. B. It is efficient and accessible. C. It is only for professional artists. D. It can only create painting works. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The advantages of AI art in 2026. B. The popular AI art trends this year. C. The challenges AI art is facing now. D. The ways to create AI art works easily. 10. What can we learn about AI art from the passage? A. AI art has replaced human art in many fields. B. AI can digitize ancient art works for heritage protection. C. AI art has no copyright issues at all. D. AI can create art works without human guidance. 11. Which of the following is the author’s attitude towards AI art? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了人工智能艺术成为热门趋势，阐述其优势、挑战及与人类艺术融合共创美好未来的前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, it is highly efficient: a professional AI program can generate hundreds of art drafts in a few hours, which saves a lot of time for artists. Second, it is creative: AI can combine different art styles and cultural elements that human artists may not think of, such as mixing Chinese ink wash painting with Western abstract art, or combining 2026 horse year folk art with future sci-fi elements. Third, it is accessible: ordinary people who have no professional art skills can also create their own AI art works by inputting simple keywords, making art creation no longer a “privilege” for artists.(首先，效率极高：专业的人工智能程序能在数小时内生成数百份艺术草稿，为艺术家节省大量时间。其次，极具创意：人工智能可以融合人类艺术家难以想到的各类艺术风格与文化元素，比如将中国水墨画与西方抽象艺术相结合，或是把 2026 马年民间艺术与未来科幻元素相融。第三，门槛亲民：没有专业艺术功底的普通人，只需输入简单关键词，也能创作出属于自己的AI艺术作品，让艺术创作不再是艺术家的专属 “特权”。)”可知，人工智能艺术创作的特点是高效且易于获取。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“However, AI art also faces some heated discussions and challenges.(然而，人工智能艺术也面临着一些激烈的讨论和挑战。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是人工智能艺术目前面临的挑战。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“For intangible cultural heritage protection, AI also plays a key role: it can digitize ancient art works to prevent them from being lost, and help young inheritors innovate traditional art forms.(对于非物质文化遗产保护，人工智能也发挥着关键作用：它可以将古代艺术作品数字化，防止其丢失，并帮助年轻传承人创新传统艺术形式。)”可知，人工智能可以将古代艺术作品数字化以保护遗产。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the new era, the fusion of AI and art is an inevitable trend. What we need to do is to make good use of AI technology, guide its healthy development, and let it work with human creativity to create more wonderful art works for the world.(在新时代，人工智能与艺术的融合是必然趋势。我们需要做的是充分利用人工智能技术，引导其健康发展，让它与人类创造力共同作用，为世界创造更多精彩的艺术作品。)”可知，作者对人工智能艺术持支持态度。 D Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.” 12. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”? A. They contain valuable metals. B. They have recharging qualities. C. They own battery-like structures. D. They generate renewable power. 13. What can be inferred about the ISA? A. It prioritizes economic interests. B. It is guarded about seabed mining. C. It opposes commercial operations. D. It requires more technical support. 14. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4? A. Deep-sea mining meets demands. B. Carmakers reuse battery materials. C. Battery recycling needs promoting. D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk? D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown? 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了海底多金属结核开采的利弊及争议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.(太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带，那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。海底采矿公司将它们宣传为“岩石中的电池”和“解决气候变化的最简单方法”。他们声称，这些结核可以为48亿辆电动汽车提供金属。)”可知，这些结核被称为“岩石中的电池”是因为它们含有有价值的金属。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement.(国际海底管理局（ISA）仍在确定如何以及在什么条件下允许采矿。经过28年的辩论，其168个成员国仍未达成正式协议。)”可知，关于采矿，ISA仍未达成正式协议，由此可推断，它对海底采矿持谨慎态度。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. (钴开采在汽车电池技术中是否真的那么重要也不确定。许多电池公司正试图从废旧电池中回收钴。今年3月，几家欧洲主要汽车制造商联合声明，在“完全了解”环境风险之前，他们不会购买任何深海采矿生产的金属。与此同时，几家中国电动汽车生产商已经做出了改变，从废旧电池中回收了高达95%的金属。)”可知，作者想在第四段说明的是深海钴开采可以等待。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). (太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带，那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。)”以及第二段中“Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity.(然而，这一承诺威胁着生物宝藏。海洋生物学家揭示，CCZ在黑暗中庇护着5000多种独特的物种。钴的广泛开采可能导致生物多样性的丧失。)”以及最后一段中““An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”(“评估采矿的影响需要多年的研究，”爱丁堡的安德鲁说。“我正在努力获取最好的环境数据。然后由社会来决定是否继续进行。”)”可知，文章主要讨论了多金属结核开采的利弊及争议，由此可知，C选项“Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?(海洋金属，海洋风险？)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 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。 Experiencing bad dreams every night can be horrifying for anybody.

I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead. That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival. and I was excited. At my old school, I had won the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular—but І do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher. When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. “Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism(剽窃)!” “Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up, it’s about my dad.” I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker. I’d been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr. Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. With a lump in my throat, I explained how much I loved poetry and that I had never even considered plagiarizing. Mr. Jordan listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I spoke. When I finished, he smiled gently and reassured me that it was okay to feel sad, “Sharing your creativity is a brave thing to do, Linda,” he said warmly. “Even if it didn’t go as planned, your courage is admirable. Remember, talent like yours is a gift. Trust in your own abilities and let your work speak for itself.” His words comforted me, giving me a sense of affirmation I desperately needed in that moment of doubt and frustration. Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. Mrs. Baker looked up as I entered, her expression now softened with understanding. Taking a deep breath, I assured everyone the poem was indeed my own creation and explained how I had crafted the poem about my father with love and care, “I’d like to recite it again,” I said with determination. This time, I recited the poem slowly and clearly, letting the emotions behind the words flow naturally. As I finished, there was a moment of silence before applause broke out, genuine and warm. “Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for sharing that,” Mrs. Baker said sincerely, “Your poem is really touching.” The tension lifted, and I felt a sense of pride knowing that I did surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要介绍了作者在新学校爱迪生中学首次参加诗歌节时，因为紧张而背诵了自己为父亲写的原创诗歌，却被老师误解为剽窃。尽管作者试图解释，但老师仍要求她先出去冷静一下，之后再进行讨论。正在作者不知所措时，乔丹先生走过来问他发生了什么事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“我几乎流下了眼泪，把整个故事都讲了出来。”可知，本段可描写作者因误会而伤心，乔丹老师安慰并肯定其才华，鼓励其自信。 ②由第二段首句“受到他的启发，我鼓起勇气回到教室。”可知，本段可描写作者鼓起勇气再次朗诵原创诗歌，赢得师生掌声与认可，消除误会，倍感自豪。 2.续写线索：伤心落泪——遇到Mr. Jordan——询问原因——得到鼓励——鼓励自信——回到教室——再次创作——得到认可——消除误会 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①温柔地笑了：smile gently/beamed mildly ②保证：assure/guarante ③爆发：break out/burst fort 情绪类 ①值得赞赏的：admirable/respectable ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mr. Jordan listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I spoke.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】The tension lifted, and I felt a sense of pride knowing that I did surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 普宁华侨中学2025-2026学年度第二学期 高二级期中考英语试卷 （试卷共8页，满分：130分，考试时间：120分钟） 1．答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的签字笔在答题卡上指定的栏目填写自己的考生号、姓名、班级、座号、试室号及试室座位号，用2B铅笔在每张答题卡的“考生号”栏相应位置进行填涂。 2．选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B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，答案不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡上各题目指定区域内相应位置上，如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案，不准使用铅笔和涂改液。 第一部分 阅读理解（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 People of all ages need new types of Media and Information Literacy (素养) competencies in today’s digital world.

B When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow, a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post. Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather. “This is the most snow I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life,” said Kirk, describing the intensity of the storm. At one point, conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building. “There was a solid hour that I really couldn’t help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow.” But as soon as he was able to get outside, Kirk got to work. He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow, including quail, prairie dogs, and skunks (臭鼬). “I was able to dig them out. Our skunks were completely snowed in,” he said. Despite the serious situation, there was even a moment of humor. “It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.’” Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow. For Kirk, staying through the storm wasn’t a question-it was part of the job. “A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.” 4. Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo? A. To wait for the rescue team. B. To ensure the safety of the animals. C. To repair the damaged staff building. D. To study the behavior of the animals. 5. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Frightening. D. Embarrassing. 6. What kind of picture does paragraph 4 describe? A. Animals’ fear and Kirk’s worry. B. Kirk’s efforts and animals’ reaction. C. Kirk’s loneliness and animals’ anger. D. The storm’s damage and animals’ suffering. 7. What do Kirk’s words in the last paragraph highlight? A. Harmony. B. Confidence. C. Reputation. D. Responsibility. C AI art, a new form of art created by artificial intelligence technology, has become one of the most popular art trends in 2026. It refers to art works — paintings, music, sculptures and even literature — generated by AI programs under human guidance, and it is changing the way people create and appreciate art. AI art creation has its unique advantages. First, it is highly efficient: a professional AI program can generate hundreds of art drafts in a few hours, which saves a lot of time for artists. Second, it is creative: AI can combine different art styles and cultural elements that human artists may not think of, such as mixing Chinese ink wash painting with Western abstract art, or combining 2026 horse year folk art with future sci-fi elements. Third, it is accessible: ordinary people who have no professional art skills can also create their own AI art works by inputting simple keywords, making art creation no longer a “privilege” for artists. However, AI art also faces some heated discussions and challenges. Some people argue that AI art lacks “human emotion” — art is a reflection of human feelings and experiences, but AI can only create works based on data and algorithms, without real thoughts and emotions. Others worry about copyright issues: it is difficult to define who the real creator is when an AI generates an art work based on thousands of existing works. In fact, AI art is not a replacement for human art, but a new partner. More and more artists now use AI as a tool to assist their creation — they use AI to generate drafts, and then add their own emotions and ideas to polish the works. For intangible cultural heritage protection, AI also plays a key role: it can digitize ancient art works to prevent them from being lost, and help young inheritors innovate traditional art forms. In the new era, the fusion of AI and art is an inevitable trend. What we need to do is to make good use of AI technology, guide its healthy development, and let it work with human creativity to create more wonderful art works for the world. 8. What is the main feature of AI art creation according to paragraph 2? A. It is slow but creative. B. It is efficient and accessible. C. It is only for professional artists. D. It can only create painting works. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The advantages of AI art in 2026. B. The popular AI art trends this year. C. The challenges AI art is facing now. D. The ways to create AI art works easily. 10. What can we learn about AI art from the passage? A. AI art has replaced human art in many fields. B. AI can digitize ancient art works for heritage protection. C. AI art has no copyright issues at all. D. AI can create art works without human guidance. 11. Which of the following is the author’s attitude towards AI art? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive. D Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles. Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area. Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species. Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper. On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.” 12. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”? A. They contain valuable metals. B. They have recharging qualities. C. They own battery-like structures. D. They generate renewable power. 13. What can be inferred about the ISA? A. It prioritizes economic interests. B. It is guarded about seabed mining. C.

Carmakers reuse battery materials. C. Battery recycling needs promoting. D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk? D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown? 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。 Experiencing bad dreams every night can be horrifying for anybody.

I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead. That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival. and I was excited. At my old school, I had won the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular—but І do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher. When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. “Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism(剽窃)!” “Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up, it’s about my dad.” I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker. I’d been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr. Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
