B "The greatest scientists are artists as well,"said Albert Einstein,one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist. For Einstein,insight did not come from logic or mathematics.Instead,it came from intuition (and inspiration.As he told one friend,"When I examine myself and my methods of thought,I find that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than any talent for absorbing absolute knowledge.All great achievements of science must start from intuitive knowledge.Imagination is more important than knowledge." But how did art differ from science for Einstein?Surprisingly,it wasn't the content of an idea,or its subject,that determined whether something was art or science,but how the idea was expressed.If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic,then it is science.If it is communicated and reeegmzed intuitively,then it is art.Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically.That's why he said that great scientists were also artists.Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics conference in Kyoto in 1922 when he indicated that he used images and feelings to solve his problems and found words,logical symbols or mathematical equations later. Einstein also credited his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music."If I were not a physicist,"he once said,"I would probably be a musician.I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music.I get most joy in life out of music.Whenever I feel that I have come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in my work,I would bury myself in music,and that would usually solve all my difficulties." Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space which both combine spatial and structural aspects."The theory of relativity just occurred to me,and music is the driving force behind this intuition",said Einstein."My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six.My new discovery is the result of musical perception(感知).” 24.What did Einstein believe as to imagination? A.It is the most important factor in science. B.It negates absolute knowledge. C.It brings about better scientific insights. D.It serves as the foundation of logic. 25.How would Einstein do science according to paragraph 3? A.Imagine a possibility-Have an idea-Describe it with logic. B.Indicate a feeling-Solve the problem-Express artistically C.Communicate-Recognize the subject-Explain the theory. D.Create an artwork-Get inspired-Put the theory to words. 26.What role does music mainly serve as for Einstein? A.An addiction. B.An escape. C.An enjoyment. D.An inspiration. 27.What can we learn from Einstein's case with music? A.One is never too old to learn. B.A sense of art goes a long way. C.Motivation drives innovation. D.Music heals a wounded heart. C Do you often use the words "tapestry""delve"or"testament"in English?Many of us would say no.These words aren't among the "Top 500 spoken words"-a list of the most common English words.However,these 高一期末英语试卷第3页共8页 words are becoming more common in some written content,as a study in 2024 found that five percent of all articles published on a research site used the word"delve."In 2022,it was less than one percent. Since ChatGPT was released to the public in November 2022,we've seen that artificial intelligence (AD favors certain words.Why does ChatGPT prefer these words?The answer is actually very human.While ChatGPT seems to think for itself,what it really does is analyze a very large amount of human-generated information,and use the data to put out answers to our enquiry ()It doesn't actually understand what it's telling us. The process of rating AI responses,as part of training the software,is called "reinforcement ( learning from human feedback",and this provides the first clue about why ChatGPT favors certain word.It's not cheap to employ a lot of testers to rate thousands of responses from Al.So,big companies outsource these jobs to lower-income countries,often places where English is not the first language.One such country that offers cheap labor is Nigeria,and in Nigerian English,"delve"is a common word in professional settings.So, when Nigerian testers tell Al which responses sound natural,their own linguistic preferences come through. As AI-generated content becomes more common,will it also affect the way we speak to each other?In some ways,AI has already left its mark.Of course,language is a living thing,often affected by current events and by new technology.The point is that language is always updating itself,and how we use language is affected by the people we talk to and by the media we consume.As AI-generated media spreads,it is possible, even likely that AI will affect the development of our own vocabulary. 28.Why are the words like "delve"or"testament"mentioned in paragraph 1? A.To show the variety of English words. B.To warn about language pollution by AI. C.To introduce a research on AI impacts. D.To indicate a new trend in word choices. 29.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A.AI depends on human input. B.AI thinks like a human brain. C.AI works for human's benefit. D.AI understands human preference. 30.What may be the root cause of the phenomenon? A.Technical integration. B.Natural selection. C.Economic consideration. D.National competition. 31.What is the author's attitude toward AI's influence on language? A.Favorable. B.Objective. C.Negative. D.Cautious. D Our oceans are full of sophisticated ()perfect traps:nets,hooks,fishing lines.Designed to capture animals destined for our dinner tables,they often catch other wildlife too.This accidental harvest is known as "bycatch",and every year it kills millions of marine animals.It is also a tricky problem for fishermen, since trapped creatures can damage equipment,costing time and money. "There are not very many conservation (issues where conservationists,consumers,fishermen and resource users all want the same thing,"says marine biologist Matthew Savoca."Everyone involved wants less bycatch.” Some bycatch prevention methods have already shown promise in field trials.A study in northern Peru's Sechura Bay,for example,showed a turtle bycatch reduction of more than 60%thanks to LED-illuminated )nets.Another approach is pingers-devices attached to fishing gear that send sounds to warn echo-locating animals away.In three Norwegian fisheries,pingers reduced bycatch of harbor porpoise (by 94%. But these solutions have yet to be carried out on a large scale.The devices can be expensive,and the methods are not without downsides.LED lights may reduce target fish catch.Pingers are also linked with an increase in bycatch of seals,which seem to associate the sound with a potential meal. 高一期末英语试卷第4页共8页 A low-tech approach may help small-scale fisheries reduce the bycatch of echo-locating animals:fixing plastic water bottles to their nets.Detecting thin,fine nets is difficult for echo-locators like dolphins,but water bottles are a more easily detectable obstacle (that could help them avoid the nets. For a solution to work,policies and regulations need to be put in place and enforced.Just as important, preventive measures need to be practical for fishermen and not add extra time and money to do the job.As marine sustainability scientist Lekelia Jenkins says,the smaller the change,the more likely fishermen are to adopt it. The human side of the issue also needs to be recognized."Emotionally,fishermen around the world are beaten up and beaten down,"Jenkins says."We say,'You're the problem.You're catching sea turtles and whales.""She suggests that fishermen should be empowerod and ineluded in the discussions and development of solutions. 32.What does Matthew Savoca mean? A.Fishermen are mainly to blame. B.Marine conservation unites people. C.Reduction of bycatch is a shared wish. D.The current action lacks participation. 33.Why is pinger a less preferred solution? A.It scares many animals away. B.It works at an extra price. C.The fishing gear is too costly. D.The fish catch is too small. 34.What makes dolphins benefit from the plastic bottles? A.A lower technology cost. B.A smaller scale of fishery. C.A less accessible barrier. D.A more obvious reminder. 35.What would Lekelia Jenkins agree with concerning the solutions? A.All voices should be heard. B.Fishermen are the main problem. C.Policies must be enforced. D.Sufficient investment is the key. 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。 One of the most fun parts of being a parent is watching children discover the world around them like a scientist.36 This ltss of irerest may wartly come from small language cues (they hear from parents,media or in school.37 An kids can do science,but over time,they begin to think of being a "scientist"as something only moam for certain kinds of kids. The good news is that the small language cues can also be employed to promote engagement in science. Students whose teachers use more action-focused language stayed longer in a novel science game, compared to students whose teachers used more identity-focused language. However,around adolescence )teens are actively trying on and eventually forming different identities for themselves.39 For example,cuing a future identity (e.g.,scientist,doctor)that is based on science motivated middle schoolers to do more homework,and was associated with higher grades.That might be because if teens think of themselves as scientists,then they are willing to do what it takes to be whom they want to become. 40 These activities also just happen to be critical pieces of the scientific process.Emphasizing these actions when children are younger might help them persist in hard tasks or lessons.But as children get older,gain experience in these activities and start forming ideas of whom they want to become,emphasizing future identities that are science-dependent might also be helpful in maintaining an interest in science. How these two versions of language cues might work together (or not)is yet to be tested,but perhaps this is some science to be done by the parents'future scientists. 高一期末英语试卷第5页共8页 A.They treat science as an identity rather than a process. B.So sometimes identity-focused language may also help C.But these language cues can also encourage and inspire our children. D.Yet over time parents can find their child less interested in exploration. E.Teating science as actions that we do,for example,can protect children's motivation. F.Parents all want their children to enjoy exploring and making discoveries for themselves. G.Recognizing the value of science will help develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For many students,science projects are not just assignments but opportunities to solve real-world problems. The 2023 Thermo Fisher JIC competition showcased this spirit.Thirty finalists presented creative solutions to 41 issues,from environmental pollution to public health challenges. One42 participant was 14-year-old Amritha Praveen from Illinois.She built a system that uses people's 43 to music to recommend songs that put them at ease.Her goal is to improve the 44 of music on mental health.Amritha's system 45 sensors (to measure someone's heart rate while listening to music.Then,the system uses that information to recommend other music that is likely to help the person 46. Amritha's inspiration came from her lifelong passion for music.A violin player,she noticed how different music types caused 47 reactions.This 48 drove her to seek an objective method to rate the relaxation when listening to different types of music.Her research found two key factors leading to relaxation: musical key and timbre-the latter being a(n)49 discovery."Timbre's role surprised me,"she admitted. "Timbre 50 the tone color of sound."Looking ahead,Amritha plans to expand her project by studying how different types of instruments affect bodily responses and using brain waves to51 how people respond to music."Understanding the brain's role could help 52 why music moves us,"she said. The 53 not only awarded prizes but also proved that young innovators can turn 54 into tools for social good.As Amritha's work shows,scientific curiosity 55 compassion(同理心)can truly make a difference. 41.A.regional B.mental C.global D.technical 42.A.intelligent B.respectful C.standout D.mysterious 43.A.devotion B.response C.access D.attitude 44.A.quality B.effectiveness C.popularity D.richness 45.A.limits B.reveals C.delivers D.involves 46.A.focus B.sing C.recover D.relax 47.A.various B.violent C.chemical D.similar 48.A.observation B.application C.occasion D.position 49.A.broad B.accidental C.odd D.precious 50.A.applies to B.refers to C.occurs to D.belongs to 51.A.impact B.question C.compare D.track 52.A.change B.challenge C.imagine D.explain 53.A.competition B.system C.process D.conference 54.A.skills B.artworks C.hobbies D.data 55.A.paired with B.granted by C.rid of D.absorbed in 高一期末英语试卷第6页共8页 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Although May 24 was a working day,thousands of people wearing black went to the Mingyangshan Funeral Home in Hunan province for a funeral (service at 10 am to present bouquets (and bunches of rice plants to honor Yuan Longping,a top rice scientist,56(know)as the"father of hybrid rice".

One rainy afternoon,Molly walked toward the library to return a book.The hallway was quiet except for voices behind the bookshelf.She recognized Sarah's laugh immediately.Curious,Molly stepped closer,hidden by the shelf."Honestly,"Sarah said,"Molly tries so hard to dress like me,but she just looks cheap.Did you see that pink shirt yesterday?So last season."Another girl giggled."And her grades?A D in science? Embarrassing.”Sarah snorted(嗤笑).“Why do you even hang out with her?”There was a pause..“Because she does my homework.Duh." Molly's heart shattered into a thousand pieces.She backed away,tears blurring her vision.The book slipped from her hands and hit the floor with a loud thud.She didn't pick it up.She just ran.
