While his death is undeniably heartbreaking, McCandless’s story continues to engage audiences worldwide, raising questions about the search for meaning and the pursuit of happiness. While McCandless’s actions may seem extreme to some, his story reminds us to reflect on our own lives and question the choices we make in pursuit of happiness.

He says he’s giving away brand-new phones. “Click the link below to claim yours now!” Do you click? Maybe. It looks and sounds like MrBeast. But it’s actually a deepfake — a false clip (片段) created by artificial intelligence (AI). Last October, this video tricked fans into sharing personal details. But a new tool, AntiFake, could help prevent such scams (欺诈). An AI model can learn to imitate someone’s voice based on about 30 seconds of speech. “It does this by creating something called an embedding. This is basically a series of numbers,” says Zhiyuan Yu, a PhD student in computer science at Washington University, whose team built AntiFake. People recognize voices by paying more attention to some frequencies of sound waves and less attention to other frequencies, but the AI model uses all frequencies to create good embeddings. AntiFake protects voice recordings by adding some noise to the frequencies people pay less attention to. That noise can mess up an AI model’s ability to create a good embedding of the voice. Yu’s team picked 600 deepfake clips that fooled both human listeners and voice- authentication (语音认证) systems, and then added AntiFake protection to the 600 voice clips those deepfakes had been based on. Next, the scientists sent the protected files back through the five deepfake AI models. This time, over 95% of the new deepfake samples no longer tricked people or machines. “This is an interesting and great new tool to defend against deepfakes,” says Shimaa Ahmed, an expert who wasn’t involved in building AntiFake. “However, if my voice is my job, I’d like to have my voice as it is.” “This is actually a problem we want to address in the future,” Yu notes. Instead of adding noise, he thinks AntiFake could change the rhythm or tone of a voice. The voice would sound clear and unchanged to listeners. But it would contain carefully-hidden signals to trick deepfake AI models. 8. How does AntiFake help prevent deep lake voice scams? A. By making AI models’ embeddings damaged. B. By making voices sound noisy and annoying. C. By making voice recordings hard to imitate. D. By making voices difficult to identify and record. 9. What is Paragraph 4 intended to show about AntiFake? A. Its development. B. Its effectiveness. C. Its special design. D. Its working principle. 10. What’s Shimaa Ahmed’s attitude to AntiFake? A. Objective. B. Disappointed. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The role of AI models in scams. B. A new tool to prevent voice scams. C. Impacts of deepfake voice scams. D. An innovation for identifying voice scams. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一种防止语音诈骗的新工具AntiFake。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“AntiFake protects voice recordings by adding some noise to the frequencies people pay less attention to. That noise can mess up an AI model’s ability to create a good embedding of the voice. (AntiFake通过在人们不太注意的频率上添加一些噪音来保护录音。这种噪音会扰乱人工智能模型创建良好的语音嵌入的能力。)”可知，AntiFake通过在不太重要的频率上添加噪音来破坏AI模型的嵌入，通过制作难以模仿的录音，从而防止深度伪造语音诈骗。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Yu’s team picked 600 deepfake clips that fooled both human listeners and voice- authentication (语音认证) systems, and then added AntiFake protection to the 600 voice clips those deepfakes had been based on. Next, the scientists sent the protected files back through the five deepfake AI models. This time, over 95% of the new deepfake samples no longer tricked people or machines. (Yu的团队挑选了600个深度伪造的片段，可以欺骗人类听众和语音认证系统，然后在深度伪造所基于的600个语音片段上添加了反伪造保护。接下来，科学家们通过五个深度人工智能模型将受保护的文件发回。这一次，超过95%的新deepfake样本不再欺骗人类或机器。)”可知，第四段旨在展示AntiFake的有效性。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““This is an interesting and great new tool to defend against deepfakes,” says Shimaa Ahmed, an expert who wasn’t involved in building AntiFake. “However, if my voice is my job, I’d like to have my voice as it is.” (“这是一个有趣而伟大的防御深度伪造的新工具，”没有参与AntiFake开发的专家希玛·艾哈迈德说。“但是，如果我的声音是我的工作，我希望我的声音保持原样。”)”可知，Shimaa Ahmed对AntiFake的态度是客观的。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Imagine looking through TikTok and seeing famous MrBeast pop up. He says he’s giving away brand-new phones. “Click the link below to claim yours now!” Do you click? Maybe. It looks and sounds like MrBeast. But it’s actually a deepfake—a false clip (片段) created by artificial intelligence (AI). Last October, this video tricked fans into sharing personal details. But a new tool, AntiFake, could help prevent such scams (欺诈). (想象一下，在抖音上看到著名的“MrBeast”跳出来。他说他要送人全新的手机。“现在就点击下面的链接领取你的！”你同意吗？也许吧。它看起来和听起来都像MrBeast。但它实际上是一个深度假视频——由人工智能（AI）制作的假视频。去年10月，这段视频诱骗粉丝分享个人信息。但一种名为AntiFake的新工具可以帮助防止此类骗局。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种防止语音诈骗的新工具AntiFake。故选B。 D Western wellness influencers suggest that sleeping on the floor could help lessen lower back pain. But is there evidence to support the accolade given to floor sleeping? It turns out that resting on the floor may offer advantages for certain people in certain conditions. Some medical experts say that lying flat on your back with your arms and legs extending out takes pressure off the back and can stretch it out. Cooler temperatures near the floor may improve sleep quality and overall comfort. “But most experts today agree that sleeping on the floor isn’t necessarily the best option for any type of back discomfort,” says Peter G. Whang, a professor at the Yale School of Medicine. “The floor is board-straight, while our spine (脊柱) has physiologic curves (生理性弯曲).” One such curve leaves space between the lower back and the floor. Lacking support, this curve flattens out over time, which can result in back pain. Moreover, without cushioning (缓冲) to support the shoulders, the upper back is often supported too high, which can cause joint rigidity (僵硬). Worse still, a hard floor create s pressure points in places like your hips and heels, which can restrict blood flow to those areas and potentially damage soft tissue. So how did our ancestors maintain healthy backs while dreaming on the dirt for thousands of years? According to Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard University professor, hunter-gatherers slept on the ground from early childhood and may have built up a tolerance to its ill effects, unlike present-day people who try it for the first time as adults. Also ancient people got more physical activity throughout the day, which may have helped prevent pain despite ground sleeping. So, if your back is giving you nightmares, the real solution could be replacing your worn-out mattress (床垫) instead of sleeping on the floor. The average American’s bed is 10 years old, equal to about three years of sleep time. “No furniture will sustain that type of weight and abuse,” says Bert Jacobson, a kinesiology professor at Oklahoma State University, whose research suggests that a new, firmer mattress reduced back pain by 47% — 63%. 12. What does the underlined word “accolade” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Credit. B. Complaint. C. Inspiration. D. Debate. 13. What helped our ancestors adapt to sleeping on the ground? A. Their shapes. B. Their fitness. C. Their lifestyle. D. Their living conditions. 14. Why does the author mention Bert Jacobson in the last paragraph? A. To come up with a new topic. B. To present a significant finding. C. To recommend the use of mattresses. D. To make the author’s advice convincing. 15. How is the text mainly organized? A. By analyzing features of sleep. B. By comparing different opinions. C. By making a list of relevant findings. D. By citing science-backed viewpoints. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了西方健康影响者建议的地板睡眠是否有助于缓解下背痛的问题。尽管有些专家认为地板睡眠在某些情况下可能有益，但大多数专家认为这并不是缓解背痛的最佳选择。文章还提到古人如何适应地面睡眠，并建议更换旧床垫可能是更好的解决方案。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Western wellness influencers suggest that sleeping on the floor could help lessen lower back pain. (西方健康影响者认为，睡在地板上可以帮助减轻腰痛。)”和“given to floor sleeping? (被给于地板上睡觉)”和“It turns out that resting on the floor may offer advantages for certain people in certain conditions. Some medical experts say that lying flat on your back with your arms and legs extending out takes pressure off the back and can stretch it out. Cooler temperatures near the floor may improve sleep quality and overall comfort. (事实证明，在某些情况下，躺在地板上休息可能对某些人有好处。一些医学专家说，平躺着，伸出胳膊和腿可以减轻背部的压力，并能伸展背部。靠近地板的温度较低可能会提高睡眠质量和整体舒适度。)”可知，本句询问是否有证据支持对地板睡眠的赞誉？下文是对这一问题的回答，accolade在此处意为“赞誉，赞扬”，即credit。A. Credit赞扬；B. Complaint抱怨；C. Inspiration灵感；D. Debate辩论。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“According to Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard University professor, hunter-gatherers slept on the ground from early childhood and may have built up a tolerance to its ill effects, unlike present-day people who try it for the first time as adults. Also ancient people got more physical activity throughout the day, which may have helped prevent pain despite ground sleeping. (根据哈佛大学教授丹尼尔·利伯曼的说法，狩猎采集者从小就睡在地上，可能已经建立了对其不良影响的耐受性，不像现在的人成年后才第一次尝试。此外，古代人在白天有更多的体育活动，这可能有助于防止疼痛，尽管地面睡眠。)”可知，古人的生活方式帮助他们适应了睡在地上。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So, if your back is giving you nightmares, the real solution could be replacing your worn-out mattress (床垫) instead of sleeping on the floor.

It was a typical summer afternoon. Bob suggested we skip a language lesson to play basketball. Ahal I would show my defense, lay-ups and three-point shooting. I loved to explore, I loved sports, and I loved basketball most. I believed I would be the next LeBron James. But my passion for sports came to a sudden stop when I began experiencing extreme back pain later that day. After several visits to doctors, finally I was told that a spine(脊柱) surgery was necessary. Unfortunately, the surgery accidentally damaged my spinal cord(脊髓). I was in the ward hanging face down to relieve the pressure on my spine. After four-month rehabilitation training(康复训练) in hospital, reality slowly set in—I was unable to walk again. I couldn’t believe this should have happened to me, that it wasn’t possible to recover, that I wouldn’t become a famous basketball player, that my life as I had known it, was over. My future would be chained to a wheelchair. I was just 16 years old! Back home, I learned how hard it was going to be to get around in a wheelchair. I withdrew from my friends and my basketball. At Bob’s repeated invitation, I agreed to go to our regular swimming hole. Unable to make it down the riverbank alone, I was too proud to ask for help. When I finally realized my pride would keep me away from people and sports I loved, I let Bob carry me on his back to the river’s edge. Allowing others to help was a turning point. I realized my attitude was the biggest barrier I had to face. How could I expect others to see my potential if I didn’t see it myself? How could I realize my basketball dream if I withdrew into myself? 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Bob’s encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game. This became a decisive turning point in my life. The same basketball court and the same excited audience. The only difference was that the players were moving around in their wheelchairs just like I did. They turned around, charging forward and showing their lay-ups nimbly. Amazed at their skill, I kept applauding until the game concluded. Then, Bob said something that was going to change my life forever, “Jack, if they can do it, so can you! Why not reignite your basketball dream?” With Bob’s encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream. I signed up for a basketball course for the disabled. Every weekend, my teammates and I would practice moving, turning around, passing the ball and shooting in a wheelchair. When Bob watched my game three months later, it was he who kept applauding for my regained basketball skill. Thanks to Bob’s encouragement and my changing attitude, I am now on my way to becoming LeBron James. The only difference is that my version of James is playing in the wheelchair, but by no means confined to it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者曾经是一名篮球运动爱好者，作者梦想成为一名篮球明星。但是突如其来的疾病让作者再也走不了路，更谈不上成为篮球明显。作者非常沮丧，幸亏作者的朋友鼓励和陪伴作者，作者终于走出了心理上的困境，开始了自己的轮椅篮球梦。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，鲍勃带我去看轮椅篮球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写轮椅篮球比赛给作者带来的触动。 ②由第二段首句内容“在鲍勃的鼓励下，我决定尝试一下我的梦想。”可知，第二段可描写作者决定重新开始自己的篮球梦。 2.续写线索：梦想成为明星——疾病——沮丧——鼓励——触动——重拾篮球梦 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①结束：conclude/end ②拍手：applaud/clap ③限制在：confine to/be limited to 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②吃惊的：amazed/astonished/stunned/shocked 【点睛】【高分句型1】Amazed at their skill, I kept applauding until the game concluded.（运用了until引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When Bob watched my game three months later, it was he who kept applauding for my regained basketball skill.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和强调句型） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 柳州高中2024～2025学年英语寒假自主测试(三) (试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer, is a wonderful non-fiction book about Christopher McCandless, a young man in his early twenties, who left behind his comfortable life and started his journey into the Alaskan wilderness in May 1990 after graduating from Emory University. Driven by a desire to break free from societal restrictions, McCandless donated his entire savings to charity and set out on a cross-country road trip. “There’s no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun,” says McCandless in the book. As he traveled, he came across different individuals who left a lasting impact on his journey. From Wayne Westerberg, a kindly grain lift operator, to Jan Burres, who introduced him to the nomadic (游牧) lifestyle, these encounters shaped McCandless’s understanding of human connection and strengthened his belief. After months of wandering. McCandless eventually arrived in Alaska in April 1992. He celebrated his new home “The Magic Bus” and began fighting the cruel realities of nature. Living off the land, McCandless pushed himself to the limits of physical endurance. He hunted, gathered eatable plants, and battled the unforgiving elements. Through his struggle, McCandless learnt about self- reliance and the satisfaction that came from overcoming challenges. Despite his great adaptation, he gave in to starvation and was found dead in August 1992 in The Magic Bus by a group of hunters. While his death is undeniably heartbreaking, McCandless’s story continues to engage audiences worldwide, raising questions about the search for meaning and the pursuit of happiness. While McCandless’s actions may seem extreme to some, his story reminds us to reflect on our own lives and question the choices we make in pursuit of happiness. Anyway, the book is a reflection on the human condition. It challenges us to examine our own values and the impact our decisions have on our well-being and the lives of those around us. 4. What made Christopher McCandless decide to travel to the Alaskan wilderness? A. His passion for hunting. B. His early graduation. C. His pursuit of freedom. D. His stressful life. 5. What might be Christopher McCandless’s belief according to Paragraph 2? A. Living a simple life isn’t difficult for us to achieve. B. Journey s awaken a sense of appreciation for the past. C. We are closely connected with other people in daily life. D. The joy of life is from our encounters with new experiences. 6. What did Christopher McCandless do upon reaching Alaska? A. He tested his survival skills. B. He turned to local residents. C. He made a bus on his own. D. He explored many mysteries. 7. Where can this passage be found? A. In an art magazine. B. In a book review. C. In a non- fiction book. D. In a biography. C Imagine looking through TikTok and seeing famous MrBeast pop up. He says he’s giving away brand-new phones. “Click the link below to claim yours now!” Do you click? Maybe. It looks and sounds like MrBeast. But it’s actually a deepfake — a false clip (片段) created by artificial intelligence (AI). Last October, this video tricked fans into sharing personal details. But a new tool, AntiFake, could help prevent such scams (欺诈). An AI model can learn to imitate someone’s voice based on about 30 seconds of speech. “It does this by creating something called an embedding. This is basically a series of numbers,” says Zhiyuan Yu, a PhD student in computer science at Washington University, whose team built AntiFake. People recognize voices by paying more attention to some frequencies of sound waves and less attention to other frequencies, but the AI model uses all frequencies to create good embeddings. AntiFake protects voice recordings by adding some noise to the frequencies people pay less attention to. That noise can mess up an AI model’s ability to create a good embedding of the voice. Yu’s team picked 600 deepfake clips that fooled both human listeners and voice- authentication (语音认证) systems, and then added AntiFake protection to the 600 voice clips those deepfakes had been based on. Next, the scientists sent the protected files back through the five deepfake AI models. This time, over 95% of the new deepfake samples no longer tricked people or machines. “This is an interesting and great new tool to defend against deepfakes,” says Shimaa Ahmed, an expert who wasn’t involved in building AntiFake. “However, if my voice is my job, I’d like to have my voice as it is.” “This is actually a problem we want to address in the future,” Yu notes. Instead of adding noise, he thinks AntiFake could change the rhythm or tone of a voice. The voice would sound clear and unchanged to listeners. But it would contain carefully-hidden signals to trick deepfake AI models. 8. How does AntiFake help prevent deep lake voice scams? A. By making AI models’ embeddings damaged. B. By making voices sound noisy and annoying. C. By making voice recordings hard to imitate. D. By making voices difficult to identify and record. 9. What is Paragraph 4 intended to show about AntiFake? A. Its development. B. Its effectiveness. C. Its special design. D. Its working principle. 10. What’s Shimaa Ahmed’s attitude to AntiFake? A. Objective. B. Disappointed. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The role of AI models in scams. B. A new tool to prevent voice scams. C. Impacts of deepfake voice scams. D. An innovation for identifying voice scams. D Western wellness influencers suggest that sleeping on the floor could help lessen lower back pain. But is there evidence to support the accolade given to floor sleeping? It turns out that resting on the floor may offer advantages for certain people in certain conditions. Some medical experts say that lying flat on your back with your arms and legs extending out takes pressure off the back and can stretch it out. Cooler temperatures near the floor may improve sleep quality and overall comfort. “But most experts today agree that sleeping on the floor isn’t necessarily the best option for any type of back discomfort,” says Peter G. Whang, a professor at the Yale School of Medicine. “The floor is board-straight, while our spine (脊柱) has physiologic curves (生理性弯曲).” One such curve leaves space between the lower back and the floor. Lacking support, this curve flattens out over time, which can result in back pain. Moreover, without cushioning (缓冲) to support the shoulders, the upper back is often supported too high, which can cause joint rigidity (僵硬). Worse still, a hard floor create s pressure points in places like your hips and heels, which can restrict blood flow to those areas and potentially damage soft tissue. So how did our ancestors maintain healthy backs while dreaming on the dirt for thousands of years? According to Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard University professor, hunter-gatherers slept on the ground from early childhood and may have built up a tolerance to its ill effects, unlike present-day people who try it for the first time as adults. Also ancient people got more physical activity throughout the day, which may have helped prevent pain despite ground sleeping. So, if your back is giving you nightmares, the real solution could be replacing your worn-out mattress (床垫) instead of sleeping on the floor. The average American’s bed is 10 years old, equal to about three years of sleep time. “No furniture will sustain that type of weight and abuse,” says Bert Jacobson, a kinesiology professor at Oklahoma State University, whose research suggests that a new, firmer mattress reduced back pain by 47% — 63%. 12. What does the underlined word “accolade” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Credit. B. Complaint. C. Inspiration. D. Debate. 13. What helped our ancestors adapt to sleeping on the ground? A. Their shapes. B. Their fitness. C. Their lifestyle. D. Their living conditions. 14. Why does the author mention Bert Jacobson in the last paragraph? A. To come up with a new topic. B. To present a significant finding. C. To recommend the use of mattresses. D. To make the author’s advice convincing. 15. How is the text mainly organized? A. By analyzing features of sleep. B. By comparing different opinions. C. By making a list of relevant findings. D. By citing science-backed viewpoints. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The first love you ever know often comes from your mother and your immediate family members. ____16____ Those loving times you remember hugging your parents, playing ball with your brother in the backyard, or getting ice cream down the street with your grandmother are the most cherished memories.

It was a typical summer afternoon. Bob suggested we skip a language lesson to play basketball. Ahal I would show my defense, lay-ups and three-point shooting. I loved to explore, I loved sports, and I loved basketball most. I believed I would be the next LeBron James. But my passion for sports came to a sudden stop when I began experiencing extreme back pain later that day. After several visits to doctors, finally I was told that a spine(脊柱) surgery was necessary. Unfortunately, the surgery accidentally damaged my spinal cord(脊髓). I was in the ward hanging face down to relieve the pressure on my spine. After four-month rehabilitation training(康复训练) in hospital, reality slowly set in—I was unable to walk again. I couldn’t believe this should have happened to me, that it wasn’t possible to recover, that I wouldn’t become a famous basketball player, that my life as I had known it, was over. My future would be chained to a wheelchair. I was just 16 years old! Back home, I learned how hard it was going to be to get around in a wheelchair. I withdrew from my friends and my basketball. At Bob’s repeated invitation, I agreed to go to our regular swimming hole. Unable to make it down the riverbank alone, I was too proud to ask for help. When I finally realized my pride would keep me away from people and sports I loved, I let Bob carry me on his back to the river’s edge. Allowing others to help was a turning point. I realized my attitude was the biggest barrier I had to face. How could I expect others to see my potential if I didn’t see it myself? How could I realize my basketball dream if I withdrew into myself? 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Bob’s encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
