In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region’s raw beauty held an entirely different pull — one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn’t noticed before. In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs, the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these huntergatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human — long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.” To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book — Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh — was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together. 4. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs? A. The threat of regional progress. B. The appeal of amazing scenery. C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. A childhood bond with ancient art. 5. What can we learn from Morris’s quote in paragraph 3? A. Art is the mirror of nature. B. Art inspires human wisdom. C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. D. Art can’t exist without materials. 6. Which can best describe the process of creating the book? A. Systematic. B. Brain-tearing. C. Painstaking. D. Eventful. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyph B. Written in Stone: Ladakh’s Timeless Artistry C. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh’s Heritage D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因拉达克岩画面临开发破坏而投入十年记录，揭示其作为人类艺术本能体现的价值，并通过书籍向世界传播这一文化遗产。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. (记录这些石刻变得紧迫，因为数百年的雕刻正在发展的压力下遭到破坏。)”可知，区域发展的威胁导致岩画正在被破坏，作者受此驱使决定进行记录。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Desmond Morris所说的话“It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances. (人类似乎无论如何都无法脱离艺术，即便在物质条件匮乏的情况下。)”可知，Morris强调人类天生具有艺术表达的本能，与物质条件无关。因此，C项“艺术深植于人类本性中”准确概括了这一思想。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. (这绝非易事，考虑到拉达克的广袤、我想记录所有地区艺术的野心、有限的时机以及严酷的条件，更不用说所有行程都是自费。)”可知，在这一过程中作者面临各种艰难和挑战，因此这是艰辛的。A. Systematic系统性的；B. Brain-tearing烧脑的；C.Painstaking辛苦的；D. Eventful多事的。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. (作为一位始终追寻冒险的登山爱好者，这些迷人的艺术如同火焰吸引飞蛾般令我着迷，由此开启了我长达十年的探索与记录之旅。)”和第三段中“These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. (这些刻痕绝非仅仅是岩石上的雕刻，更是我们对之一无所知的远古文化的映射。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者记录拉达克史前岩画，探索其作为古代艺术的价值，并出版书籍的经历。因此，B项“刻于石上：拉达克的永恒艺术”涵盖岩画和艺术性，且Timeless呼应文中古代与现代的连接，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 C Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior informed by recent information. However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences. One new study uses AI in innovative ways to better understand this process. By using tiny artificial neural networks, the researchers’ work illuminates in detail what drives an individual’s actual choices. “Instead of assuming how brains should learn in bettering our decisions, we developed an alternative approach to discover how individual brains actually learn to make decisions,” explains Mattar, a professor in New York University. “This approach functions like a detective, uncovering how decisions are actually made by animals and humans. By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.” “Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School. “For example, they can predict which movie you would like to watch next. However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models use to make their predictions — such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. By training the simplest versions of these AI models to predict animals’ choices and analyzing their dynamics using methods from physics, we can throw light on their inner workings in more easily understandable terms.” Understanding how animals and humans learn from experience to make decisions is not only a primary goal in the sciences, but, more broadly, useful in the fields of business, government, and technology. However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior. “Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar. 8. What can be inferred about traditional decision-making models? A. They are consistent with real-life decision behavior. B. They pay much attention to individual differences. C. They tend to ignore choices that are not the best ones. D. They draw on AI-based methods in decision making. 9. What is special about the new study? A. Using tiny neural networks. B. Analyzing past experiences. C. Predicting movie preferences. D. Revisiting conventional frameworks. 10. What does Benna mean concerning large neural networks? A. They lack predictive accuracy. B. Their strategies are hard to interpret. C. They outperform tiny networks in research. D. They revolutionize decision-making studies. 11. What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research? A. Cautiously skeptical. B. Indifferently neutral. C. Strongly supportive. D. Mildly critical. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项利用微型人工神经网络研究人类和动物决策过程的新研究。该研究通过创新性地使用AI技术，揭示了传统决策模型所忽视的个体差异和实际决策策略。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences.(然而，理解这些行为的传统框架可能忽视了决策的某些现实，因为它们假设我们在考虑过去经验后会做出最佳决策)”以及倒数第二段“However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior.(然而，现有模型旨在描述最佳决策，往往无法获得现实行为)”可推知，传统决策模型忽视了非最佳选择的情况。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.(通过使用微小的神经网络——体积足够小，便于理解，但强大到能够捕捉复杂行为——我们发现了一些科学家几十年来忽视的决策策略)”可知，这项新研究的特别之处在于使用了微型神经网络。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School.(“人工智能中使用的大型神经网络在预测方面非常出色，”加州大学圣地亚哥分校的教授贝纳表示)”及“However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models use to make their predictions —— such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one.(然而，要简单描述这些复杂的机器学习模型在做出预测时所采用的策略——例如它们为何认为你更喜欢某部电影而不是另一部电影——是非常困难的)”可推知，Benna认为大型神经网络的策略难以解释。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar.(“正如研究个体在身体特征上的差异已彻底改变了医学，理解个体在决策策略上的差异也可能彻底改变我们对心理健康和认知功能的处理方式，”马塔尔总结道)”可知，Mattar将这项研究比作改变医学的个体化研究，并对其潜在影响给予高度评价，表明他对新研究持强烈支持态度。 D For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. However, cities are not empty of life but are unique, lively ecosystems, and recognizing this should allow us to redefine what it means to be a naturalist in the modern world. Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a “community scientist”. For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there’s a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. 12. What phenomenon does the author point out in Paragraph 1? A. Naturalists need professional training. B. City residents overlook nearby nature. C. People favor wilderness over urban life. D. Ecologists redefine biased nature concepts. 13. How does the author show cities are lively ecosystems? A. By criticizing current opinions. B. By suggesting new research findings. C. By giving examples of organism adaptation. D. By comparing biodiversity from different habitats. 14. What does the underlined word “procurable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Suitable. B. Comfortable. C. Reasonable. D. Accessible. 15. What idea does the author aim to challenge in the passage? A. Naturalists are limited to professionals. B. Evolution mainly exists in wild nature. C. Urbanization damages the environment. D. City holds a distinct and dynamic ecology. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章挑战了将自然与城市生活割裂的传统观念，指出城市本身就是充满活力的生态系统，并主张每个人都可以成为城市中的“自然主义者”。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. (长期以来，我们对自然持有狭隘且有偏见的看法，将其视为与我们城市生活分离的东西——是在自然公园或遥远荒野中才能看到的东西。我们对裂缝中的苔藓或水沟里的藻类漠不关心，甚至厌恶)”可知，作者在第一段指出的现象是城市居民将自然视为与城市生活分离的东西，忽视身边的大自然。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. (植物和微生物不仅在城市水沟的高温和污染中生存，而且生长良好。城市动物也发展出了聪明的行为：日本的乌鸦利用汽车来敲开坚果，澳大利亚的凤头鹦鹉会打开垃圾箱寻找食物。此外，城市还推动了其居民的身体变化。一些蜥蜴进化出了粘性更强的脚，以便更好地抓握光滑的人造表面。 这片钢筋水泥的‌“丛林”并非生态荒漠，而是一个充满活力的人造生态系统，正书写着地球生命故事中一个引人入胜的新篇章)”可知，作者通过举例说明生物在城市的适应能力来展示城市是充满活力的生态系统。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. (学术论文和在线课程使生物学和生态学对每个人来说都procurable)”以及后文“Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. (社区实验室和自然俱乐部让普通人能够使用显微镜和其他简单工具进行研究)”可推知，这些资源让生物学和生态学变得“可获得的”或“易于接触的”。故划线词意为“可获得的”，与“Accessible”同义。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. (因此，自然主义者的旧有形象——一个在遥远荒野工作的专业人士——已经过时了)”以及最后一段“You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. (你不需要成为专业的科学家——任何人都可以成为城市荒野中的自然主义探险家)”可知，作者旨在挑战“自然主义者仅限于专业人士”这一观念。故选A项。 第二节 七选五(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。 Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. ____16____ So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings. Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. ____17____ What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions? Get to the point. Engage people in the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. ____18____ people are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever. ____19____ People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen. Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. ____20____ A. Time is precious. B. Make it a conversation. C. Speak with elegance and intention. D. Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds. E. It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus. F. Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible. G. This is how you show value and make a positive impression. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何在会议中有效表达自己的观点，从而获得他人的注意和认可。文章提供了五个具体的建议，包括充分准备、简洁明了、控制时间、互动交流以及保持自信。 【16题详解】 前文“Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader.(会议是让自己引人注目的关键途径。当你在会议上“保持自信”时，你展现出了自信，这能让你成为未来的领导者。)”提到会议是展示自己的重要场合，后文“So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them.(因此，无论你脑子里有多少伟大的想法，除非你表达出来，否则它们对你、你的团队和你的组织来说都是无用的。)”强调如果不表达出来，想法就毫无价值。由此可知，前后是转折关系，空处应指出他人无法直接了解你的想法。D项“Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds.(不幸的是，你的同事无法读懂你的想法)”符合，引起下文，故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea.(想象一下人们对你的想法可能会有的反应)”建议预想他人对你想法的反应，后文“What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?(针对你的想法，可能会提出哪些问题？你将如何回答这些问题？)”进一步说明要从不同的角度思考可能的问题。由此可知，空处应强调从多角度思考问题。F项“Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible.(尽可能从其他角度看待它)”符合，故选F。 【18题详解】 前文“Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening.(直奔主题用核心观点吸引听众，再深入细节。强有力的开场能让他们有理由继续倾听。)”强调要简洁明了地表达观点，后文“People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.(工作中人们常被琐事淹没。虽然“8秒注意力”可能是谣言，但如今人们比以往更看重简洁。)”说明现代人时间有限，更看重简短表达。由此可知，空处应点明时间的重要性。A项“Time is precious.(时间很宝贵)”符合，故选A。 【19题详解】 后文“People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more.(冗长的发言会让人失去兴趣。邀请他人参与你的想法，用激发提问的方式组织论述。)”指出长篇大论会让人失去兴趣，建议通过互动提升参与感。由此可知，空处应提出将表达转化为对话。B项“Make it a conversation.(让它成为一场对话)”符合，故选B。 【20题详解】 前文“Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose.(用力量姿势站立片刻来对抗紧张。)”提到用“能量姿势”缓解紧张，空处应需补充这一行为的作用。E项“It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus.(它能让你有时间平静思绪并集中注意力)”说明其效果，符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用(满分30分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) Six days of spring rain had created a raging river running by Nancy Brown’s farm.

The wind blew hard, and the river nearby rose higher and higher until it rushed into the streets. The water was strong and dark, carrying away trees and cars. People could only watch from far away as the flood destroyed their beautiful town. It was a frightening time that no one would ever forget. Finally, the scary flood went away. But for people in the town, the silence it left behind was even louder than the roaring water. Many lost their beloved houses. Jeremy was one of them. His house was now nothing more than a pile of ruins. The front steps he used to jump off as a boy were gone. And more painfully, the kitchen wall, marked with pencil lines recording his height every year, was buried under broken bricks and mud. Everything that made it a “home” had disappeared, leaving only a cold, gray emptiness. Before the storm, Jeremy's house was a wonderful place. It was a warm brick house with a pretty garden full of yellow sunflowers and red roses. Inside, the rooms were always bright and smelled like his mother’s homemade cookies. For fifteen years,this house had been their world. It was where his family celebrated birthdays and shared happy stories. “We can rebuild the walls, son,” Jeremy’s father said softly to him. “But we can’t bring back the stories these walls told. A home is more than just a building; it’s the memories it held.” Emma, Jeremy’s best friend, was gifted in painting and felt Jeremy’s sadness as if it were her own. She felt a strong desire to help him. Though she didn’t have bricks to build a house, she had a different kind of power — a brush that could capture the soul of what was lost. 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。 Emma decided to paint Jeremy's house. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Emma decided to paint Jeremy’s house. She sat at her desk and closed her eyes, trying to recall every detail she remembered about Jeremy’s house. She used her brushes to bring back the yellow sunflowers and the warm brick walls. She didn’t just paint a building. She captured the happy memories of Jeremy's childhood. This wasn’t merely a piece of art. It was a magical painting specially created to heal a broken heart. As soon as it was finished, Emma instantly handed the painting to Jeremy with eagerness. Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma. As his eyes swept over the familiar colors, tears welled up and blurred his vision. In the painting, his home was alive again,standing proudly among the fragrant flowers. While the flood did wipe out the bricks, it couldn’t wipe away fond memories of his family. The essence of his home remained in his heart. “Thank you, Emma.” Jeremy whispered. Emma was proud that her brushes were not simply for painting, but also had the power to bring comfort, warmth and hope to people. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述一场持续三天的暴雨引发洪水，洪水退去后，小镇满目疮痍，Jeremy的家也沦为废墟，他痛苦不已，因为家中承载了诸多美好回忆。Jeremy的好友Emma擅长绘画，她感同身受，决心帮助Jeremy。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描Emma决定为Jeremy 画他家。她坐在桌前闭眼回忆房子细节，用画笔重现黄色向日葵和温暖砖墙，不仅画出建筑，更捕捉Jeremy童年快乐回忆，这不仅是艺术品，更是治愈破碎心灵的魔法画作，完成后她急切地把画交给Jeremy。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Jeremy小心接过画，目光扫过熟悉色彩，泪水模糊双眼。画中，家再次鲜活，傲立花丛。洪水虽冲走砖头，却冲不走家庭美好回忆，家的本质留在他心中。Jeremy轻声道谢，Emma为画笔能给人带来安慰、温暖和希望而自豪。 2.续写线索：Emma作画——重现Jeremy家的记忆并交给Jeremy——Jeremy接画——感动并意识到家的本质——Emma因能帮Jeremy而自豪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回想起：recall/remember ②完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy/pleased ②渴望：eagerness/yearning 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She sat at her desk and closed her eyes, trying to recall every detail she remembered about Jeremy’s house.（运用了现在分词短语作状语 ） 【高分句型 2】While the flood did wipe out the bricks, it couldn’t wipe away fond memories of his family.（运用了while引导的让步状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第二学期 6月阶段性考试 高二英语试卷 考试时间:120分钟 分值:150 第一部分 听力(略，满分30分) 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15 小题;每题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Admission Guidelines for Yale School of Art Admission to Yale’s MFA program is for the fall term only, annually.

In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region’s raw beauty held an entirely different pull — one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn’t noticed before. In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs, the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these huntergatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human — long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.” To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book — Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh — was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together. 4. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs? A. The threat of regional progress. B. The appeal of amazing scenery. C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. A childhood bond with ancient art. 5. What can we learn from Morris’s quote in paragraph 3? A. Art is the mirror of nature. B. Art inspires human wisdom. C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. D. Art can’t exist without materials. 6. Which can best describe the process of creating the book? A. Systematic. B. Brain-tearing. C. Painstaking. D. Eventful. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyph B. Written in Stone: Ladakh’s Timeless Artistry C. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh’s Heritage D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography C Researchers have long been interested in how humans and animals make decisions by focusing on trial-and-error behavior informed by recent information. However, the conventional frameworks for understanding these behaviors may overlook certain realities of decision-making because they assume we make the best decisions after taking into account our past experiences. One new study uses AI in innovative ways to better understand this process. By using tiny artificial neural networks, the researchers’ work illuminates in detail what drives an individual’s actual choices. “Instead of assuming how brains should learn in bettering our decisions, we developed an alternative approach to discover how individual brains actually learn to make decisions,” explains Mattar, a professor in New York University. “This approach functions like a detective, uncovering how decisions are actually made by animals and humans. By using tiny neural networks — small enough to be understood but powerful enough to catch complex behavior — we’ve discovered decision-making strategies that scientists have overlooked for decades.” “Large neural networks used in AI are very good at predicting things,” says Benna, a professor at UC San Diego’s School. “For example, they can predict which movie you would like to watch next. However, it is very challenging to describe simply what strategies these complex machine learning models use to make their predictions — such as why they think you will like one movie more than another one. By training the simplest versions of these AI models to predict animals’ choices and analyzing their dynamics using methods from physics, we can throw light on their inner workings in more easily understandable terms.” Understanding how animals and humans learn from experience to make decisions is not only a primary goal in the sciences, but, more broadly, useful in the fields of business, government, and technology. However, existing models of this process, because they are aimed at describing optimal (最佳的) decision-making, often fail to get realistic behavior. “Just as studying individual differences in physical characteristics has revolutionized medicine, understanding individual differences in decision-making strategies could transform our approach to mental health and cognitive function,” concludes Mattar. 8. What can be inferred about traditional decision-making models? A. They are consistent with real-life decision behavior. B. They pay much attention to individual differences. C. They tend to ignore choices that are not the best ones. D. They draw on AI-based methods in decision making. 9. What is special about the new study? A. Using tiny neural networks. B. Analyzing past experiences. C. Predicting movie preferences. D. Revisiting conventional frameworks. 10. What does Benna mean concerning large neural networks? A. They lack predictive accuracy. B. Their strategies are hard to interpret. C. They outperform tiny networks in research. D. They revolutionize decision-making studies. 11. What is Mattar’s attitude towards the new research? A. Cautiously skeptical. B. Indifferently neutral. C. Strongly supportive. D. Mildly critical. D For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. However, cities are not empty of life but are unique, lively ecosystems, and recognizing this should allow us to redefine what it means to be a naturalist in the modern world. Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a “community scientist”. For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there’s a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. 12. What phenomenon does the author point out in Paragraph 1? A. Naturalists need professional training. B. City residents overlook nearby nature. C. People favor wilderness over urban life. D. Ecologists redefine biased nature concepts. 13. How does the author show cities are lively ecosystems? A. By criticizing current opinions. B. By suggesting new research findings. C. By giving examples of organism adaptation. D. By comparing biodiversity from different habitats. 14. What does the underlined word “procurable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Suitable. B. Comfortable. C. Reasonable. D. Accessible. 15. What idea does the author aim to challenge in the passage? A. Naturalists are limited to professionals. B. Evolution mainly exists in wild nature. C. Urbanization damages the environment. D. City holds a distinct and dynamic ecology. 第二节 七选五(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。 Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. ____16____ So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings. Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. ____17____ What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions? Get to the point. Engage people in the main points of the idea, then dive into the details.

While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever. ____19____ People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen. Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. ____20____ A. Time is precious. B. Make it a conversation. C. Speak with elegance and intention. D. Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds. E. It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus. F.

The wind blew hard, and the river nearby rose higher and higher until it rushed into the streets. The water was strong and dark, carrying away trees and cars. People could only watch from far away as the flood destroyed their beautiful town. It was a frightening time that no one would ever forget. Finally, the scary flood went away. But for people in the town, the silence it left behind was even louder than the roaring water. Many lost their beloved houses. Jeremy was one of them. His house was now nothing more than a pile of ruins. The front steps he used to jump off as a boy were gone. And more painfully, the kitchen wall, marked with pencil lines recording his height every year, was buried under broken bricks and mud. Everything that made it a “home” had disappeared, leaving only a cold, gray emptiness. Before the storm, Jeremy's house was a wonderful place. It was a warm brick house with a pretty garden full of yellow sunflowers and red roses. Inside, the rooms were always bright and smelled like his mother’s homemade cookies. For fifteen years,this house had been their world. It was where his family celebrated birthdays and shared happy stories. “We can rebuild the walls, son,” Jeremy’s father said softly to him. “But we can’t bring back the stories these walls told. A home is more than just a building; it’s the memories it held.” Emma, Jeremy’s best friend, was gifted in painting and felt Jeremy’s sadness as if it were her own. She felt a strong desire to help him. Though she didn’t have bricks to build a house, she had a different kind of power — a brush that could capture the soul of what was lost. 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。 Emma decided to paint Jeremy's house. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
