This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds.(如今，借助人工智能，格鲁伯能够将数 小时录音中成千上万的鲸鱼声音快速转化为类似音符的新形态图像。这种方法有助于发现声 音中的细微差异)”可知，人工智能可以有效地处理声音数据。 I0.细节理解题。根据最后一段“He collects data,such as body temperature,paired with recorded sounds and videos,to understand whether animals are comfortable or not.With AI,he can recognise sick animals quickly,improving their well--being.(他收集体温等数据，并将其与录制 的声音和视频相结合，以了解动物是否感到舒适。有了人工智能，他可以快速识别生病的动 物，改善它们的健康状况)可知，根据最后一段，关于人工智能我们可以了解到的是它有助 于理解动物的需求。 I1.主旨大意题。根据第一段Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists,with their underwater sound-"click...click...click"-remaining largely unexplained.However, thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence (AI),researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals.(鲸鱼的交流长期以来一直是科学家们的一大 谜题，它们发出的水下声音一“咔嗒..咔嗒.咔嗒”一至今仍难以解释。然而，得益 于人工智能(AI)令人惊讶的能力，来自一个研究项目的科学家们能够解读这些神奇海洋 生物发出的声音)”可知，本文核心围绕利用人工智能技术解读鲸鱼声音展开，同时延伸介绍

wearable devices such as smart watches that depend on batteries,this new thin-film sensor operates completely on energy produced by human sweat,,marking a significant step toward self-.powered wearable electronics.(与依赖电池 的传统可穿戴设备如智能手表不同，这种新型薄膜传感器完全由人体汗液产生的能量驱动， 这标志着向自供电可穿戴电子产品迈出了重要一步)”可知，新传感器与传统可穿戴设备最大 的区别在于它由人体汗液供能而非电池。 l3.词句猜测题。根据第二段The sensor,.as thin as a piece of paper,can be comfortably attached to human skin without any pressure or discomfort.It is embedded with special enzyme materials that generate electricity by reacting with substances in human sweat,such as lactic acid and glucose..(这种传感器像纸一样薄，可以舒适地附着在人体皮肤上，没有任何压力或不适。它 embedded特殊的酶材料，这些材料通过与人体汗液中的乳酸和葡萄糖等物质发生反应来发 电)”可知，传感器中含有特殊的酶材料才能发电，所以“embedded'意思应该是“植入；嵌入”， 与“Implanted”意思相近。 l4.推理判断题。根据第四段“Although the current version is still designed for medical monitoring,the team believes the technology can be applied to more fields in the future,such as sports training,.virtual reality control and daily health management.(尽管目前的版本仍为医疗监 3 测而设计，但该团队相信这项技术未来可应用于更多领域，如体育训练、虚拟现实控制和日 常健康管理)”可知，汗液供能传感器未来将在医疗监测之外的更多领域得到应用。 15.主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了一种由汗液供能的传感器，讲述其工作原理、优势以及未 来应用前景，这种传感器有望成为可穿戴技术的未来发展方向，D选项一种汗液供能传感

how things fit together..(对他们而言，把问题说出来有助于他们更清晰地思考，并能更好地理 解各个部分之间的关系)”可知，后文出现For them”,表明前文应提到一类人。G选项“有些 人用自我对话梳理难题”与后文“大声解决问题能让思路更清晰？对应，逻辑连贯。故选G。 l8.根据上文Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states.Research,for instance,has found that when people are anxious or stressed,they are more likely to engage in self-.talk.(有些人在情绪或精神面临挑战时会通过自我对话的方式来 让自己平静下来。例如，研究发现，当人们感到焦虑或压力过大时，他们更有可能进行自我 对话)可知，本段围绕焦虑、压力等负面情绪展开，讲自我对话可平复情绪。F选项“把情绪 说出来能让情绪变得可控”符合语境，并与后文“像朋友给自己支持”衔接。故选F。 19.根据后文I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk,at the gym,in the mirror, before a big meeting-all of that,"says Carol Bergman,52.She does it before she works out with"Come on,you got this!"or with"You look great!"if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.(52岁的卡罗尔，伯格曼说：“我确实深信积极的自我对话的力 量，无论是健身时、对着镜子自省时，还是在参加重要会议之前一所有这些场合都是如此。” 她会在锻炼前对自己说“加油，你能行！”或者“你看起来棒极了！”如果她时不时需要听到一 些关于自己的赞美之词的话，她就会这样说)”可知，本段举例“你可以的“你很棒”等积极 话语，属于激励自己。B选项“自我对话也有助于保持动力”准确概括本段主旨，总领下文例 子。故选B。 20.根据上文'In fact,.we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood,where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities.(事实上，在童年时期我们就已经学会了自我对 话，而这种自我对话与在任务和具有挑战性的活动中表现更佳有着密切的关系)”以及后文 "As adults,we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged.In such moments,it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems.So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.(作为成年人，当我们精神或情绪处于低落 状态时，可能会重新习惯于大声说话。在这样的时刻，自言自语就像是一个额外的工具，能 帮助我们集中注意力、思考问题并解决问题。所以，自言自语并不像你想象的那样奇怪)” 可知，前文讲童年时期常自我对话，后文说成年后遇到挑战又会重新使用。A选项“然而， 随着年龄的增长，我们做这件事的频率会逐渐降低”承上启下，形成童年与成年的对比。故 选A。 21.B 22.C23.A24.D25.B26.B27.D28.A 29.A 30.C31.D32.A33.C34.D35.C

I soon found myself faced with a pile of thankless dishes in the sink,urging me to get on with it and deliver on my duty.At the beginning,I was annoyed when doing the dishes.I was in a rush to be done with them since I had an endless list of things to finish as a high school student taking a tough course load.Gradually,I realized that,for about 15 minutes every day,I could slow down time and forget everything in the world as my mind,eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success. We did finally get the new dishwasher placed.However,I continued to wash dishes by hand after dinner,perplexing my mother immensely Washing dishes by hand has been more educational than I could have ever imagined. I'm running around stressed most of the day.There are homework assignments,projects, quizzes and tests competing for my attention and time.I've caged myself in a prison of my ambitions and expectations,cut off from many aspects of the world.

C Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists,with their underwater sound-"click...click...click-remaining largely unexplained.However,thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence(AI),researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals. The program is called the Whale Translation Project(WTP),whose meaning is to know what whales are saying.Its goal is clear but very difficult to achieve.Understanding the communication of whales and other animals could inspire conservation (efforts.For example,the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful conservation activities and laws. The WTP started when Gruber,a biologist at Harvard University,turned to a computer scientist for help about dealing with a large amount of data on whale sounds.They thought of applying machine learning,used for improving human language translations,to whales.The sound of click,similar to a binary code(二进制)，is easy for AI to analyze. Scientists once presented the sounds of a whale using a series of lines to show the number of clicks per second.Now,with the help of AI,Gruber can quickly turn the thousands of whale sounds from hours of recordings into a new kind of pictures that look like musical notes.This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds.Gruber can use AI to analyze the differences and the specific context,like the behavior of moving to the surface and hunting for food,and thus understand the meaning of the whale sound easily.He can also 高二英语期末试卷 第3页（共10页） discover how whales interact,getting 99%right in predicting (the next click. This kind of work isn't limited to whales.Suresh Neethirajan,a computer science and agriculture professor,studies how farmers can use real-time observation to explain animal behaviors.He collects data,such as body temperature,paired with recorded sounds and videos,to understand whether animals are comfortable or not.With Al,he can recognise sick animals quickly,improving their well-being. 8.What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s? A.To stress the value of studying animal communication. B.To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales. C.To show the success of protecting the environment D.To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language 9.How can AI help according to paragraph 4? A.It records whale sound quickly. B.It processes sound data effectively. C.It reads musical notes correctly.D.It promotes whale interactions directly. 10.What can we learn about AI according to the last paragraph? A.It cures diseases of animals. B.It improves farmers'well-being. C.It aims to change animal behavior.D.It helps to understand animals'needs. 11.Which is the best title of the passage? A.A New Method to Record Whales'Living Behaviors B.The Development of Whale Protection Laws C.How Scientists Study Different Sea Animals D.The Amazing Use of AI in Understanding Animal Sounds D In the field of wearable technology,a breakthrough invention has caught worldwide attention:a flexible skin-like sensor powered by human sweat,developed by a joint research team from Chinese and American universities.Unlike traditional wearable devices such as smart watches that depend on batteries,this new thin-film sensor operates completely on energy produced by human sweat,marking a significant step toward self-powered wearable electronics The sensor,as thin as a piece of paper,can be comfortably attached to human skin without any pressure or discomfort.It is embedded_with special enzyme materials that generate electricity by reacting with substances in human sweat,such as lactic acid and glucose.The electricity produced is enough to support the device's normal work of 高二英语期末试卷 第4页（共10页） monitoring body signals,including heart rate,body temperature and muscle tension.What's more,the sensor can store extra energy for use when sweat is not available,ensuring continuous and stable operation. One of the most impoitant advantages of this sweat-powered device is its environmental friendliness.Traditional wearable electronics rely heavily on lithium batteries, which contain heavy metals and cause serious environmental pollution after being abandoned. In contrast,the new sensor uses harmless biological materials and produces no waste during use.It also avoids the trouble of frequent charging,bringing great convenience to users in long-term health monitoring. At present,the sensor has successfully passed laboratory tests and preliminary clinical trials.Researchers have proved that it can work continuously for more than 12 hours on a small amount of sweat and maintain high accuracy in data collection.Although the current version is still designed for medical monitoring,the team believes the technology can be applied to more fields in the future,such as sports training,viItual reality control and daily health management. Industry experts believe this sweat-powered technology will reshape the future of wearable electronics.It solves two main problems of traditional wearables:battery limitation and environmental pollution.With further optimization and mass production,this skin-friendly,self-powered sensor is expected to become a mainstream product in the next generation of wearable devices,providing safer and more convenient health monitoring solutions for human beings. 12.What is the biggest difference between the new sensor and traditional wearable devices? A.It is thinner and more comfortable to wear. B.It is powered by human sweat instead of batteries. C.It can monitor more body signals than smart watches. D.It can be used for a longer time without any maintenance. 13.What does the underlined word"embedded"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Removed.B.Implanted.C.Compared.D.Decorated 14.What can be inferred about the future of the sweat-powered sensor? A.It will be used in more areas beyond medical monitoring B.It will completely take the place of smait watches soon. C.It will be produced in small quantities due to high cost. D.It will reduce people's ability to produce sweat naturally. 高二英语期末试卷 第5页（共10页） 15.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.A New Trend:The Future Healthy Life with Wearable Devices. B.Environmental Protection in Modern Electronic Industry. C.How to Improve Battery Life of Wearable Technology.

Psychologists refer to it as"self-talk,"a mental tool like a Swiss army knife.16 Saying something out loud,whether it's positive or negative,can make the thought that you're expressing seem more official,or public,than if you merely think about it.17 For them,working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together. Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states.Research,for instance,has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in selftalk.18 It is like giving yourself the support a friend would. 19"I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk,at the gym,in the mirror,before a big meeting-all of that,"says Carol Bergman,52.She does it before she works out with"Come on,you got this!"or with"You look great!"if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time. In fact,we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood,where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities.20 As adults,we may retumn to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged.In such moments,it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems.So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are. A.However,we do it less as we grow older. B.Self-talk also helps people stay motivated. C.Here are some ways to put it into practice D.It's a superpower that we all naturally possess E.It can be useful in many different situations in life. 高二英语期末试卷 第6页（共10页） F.Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable. G.Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge. 第二部分语言运用（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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The girl in the lab coat was extracting DNA from a piece of lettuce ()Beside her, a boy was adjusting his equipment.Outside the walls,their 21 worked hard under the sun,pulling lettuce from the earth while their kids 22 its genetic material.

Staring at the red scores on my paper,I knew I failed to get the top rank.Low whispers spread around me as the teacher read out everyone's rankings slowly.Disappointment welled up inside me,and I felt my dream of entering my ideal university gradually run away I had long been pushing myself hard just to achieve high rankings.I rose early in the momning and stayed up late studying every day,arranging all my time tightly for different school subjects.I once firmly believed that taking first place constantly would prepare me for a better future.This belief once motivated me greatly,yet endless pressure soon tired me out. I often felt eye discomfort and mental tiredness,and the top position always seemed impossible to reach. Feeling low,I left the classroom alone.The air was fresh with the smell of rain.I stopped at a quiet little garden beside the library,which I had never taken time to visit before. An elderly gardener was busy tending flowers and watering plants with great care. 高二英语期末试卷 第9页（共10页） Only a handful of flowers were in bloom (among green leaves.I couldn't help questioning whether all his effoits were worthwhile.
