B For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with themselves, Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered.Deborah is the founder of the Poetry Pharmacy,located in an old ironworks in the heart of Shropshire.This bookshop aims to ease worry with words,allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year,a second Poetry Pharmacy opened inside LUSH on London's Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital.Even before she had two successful "practices" under her belt,Deborah was very aware of the power of poetry.She used the medium as a tool to help those living with dementia ()working in care homes for years."I would sit with people and talk to them,listen to them,"she says."We would read poetry.I would see a change happen as they were taken to a magical place." "The ambulance"was Deborah's first exploration into poetic medicine.After spotting a special vehicle on eBay,an idea came to her-she would bring poetry prescriptions ( directly to people.And so,Deborah travelled the country in her 1950s ambulance,offering 高二英语试题第4页（共12页) consultations and guidance to those in need.After nearly a decade of mobile medicine, Deborah parked up her practice for the stability of a physical store in Shropshire.With its original iron shelving and warm wooden counter,Deborah knew that the Bishop's Castle location was the perfect place to set up shop.This would be the world's first walk-in poetry pharmacy. Since opening in 2019,the Pharmacy has gone from strength to strength,being awarded Regional Independent Bookshop of the Year from the British Book Awards in 2024."It's really important not to ask people about their problems,"Deborah says."We ask about that person's reading habits,how they relax,who they are in their best state.It should be a pleasure to answer these questions." 24.Why did Deborah set up the Poetry Pharmacy? A.To treat serious diseases. B.To gain nationwide fame. C.To bring people comfort. D.To train professional poets. 25.How did Deborah help people with dementia in care homes?

B.Every cloud has a silver lining. C.Good health is the best wealth. D.Actions speak louder than words. c One would think that the astronauts'living spaces should be perfectly clean,but it turns out that creating a "dirtier"environment with more microorganisms from Earth may boost their health.That's what recent research in Cell suggests after showing the International Space Station(ISS)is overly sterile )The sterile nature of the station has led to a low diversity of microorganisms,which could be contributing to immune system disorders,.skin discomfort,,and other inflammatory(炎症性的)conditions in astronauts. According to the researchers,the results indicate that the most common health problems observed in space could be reduced by introducing certain environmental microorganisms from Earth onto the ISS.To learn more about the microbial life living and interacting in space,the researchers called on astronauts to take 803 samples of the different 高二英语试题第5页（共12页) surfaces on the ISS.Once collected and sent to Earth,the samples were analyzed to determine the presence of bacterial species and chemicals Notably,however,absent in the ISs were the microorganisms from natural environments that strengthen human health,allowing us to grow our own hardy microorganisms.Contact with these microorganisms,which exist in the water and soil on Earth,supports the beneficial bacteria that live inside our bodies,helping us digest food and fight diseases.The researchers claim that introducing microorganisms from Earth could potentially boost the microbial community on the ISS without posing any health risks to astronauts. "Future-built environments,including space stations,could benefit from intentionally developing diverse microbial communities that better imitate the natural microbial exposures experienced on Earth,"said Rodolfo Salido,a study author and a researcher from the University of California San Diego.He also stressed that if we really want life to thrive outside Earth,we can't just launch a small branch of the tree of life into space.We need to start thinking about what other beneficial companions we should be sending with these astronauts to help them develop ecosystems that will be sustainable and beneficial for all. 28.What can we learn from the study in paragraph 1? A.Overclean space stations harm astronaut health. B.Diverse microorganisms lead to serious illnesses. C.Dirty environments strengthen the immune system. D.Direct skin discomfort results from microorganisms. 29.What did the researchers do to conduct the study? A.They studied samples from ISS. B.They observed astronauts on ISS. C.They introduced samples on ISS. D.They cultured microorganisms from ISS. 30.What can be inferred about microorganisms in paragraph 3? A.Microorganisms on Earth kill bacteria B.Microorganisms on Earth benefit human health. C.Microorganisms on the ISS increase health risks. D.Microorganisms on the ISS improve human health 31.What did Salido suggest about future-built environment? A.Increase clean surfaces in space stations. B.Launch more branches of trees into space. C.Recreate Earth's natural microbial conditions. D.Send more companions with astronauts in space. 高二英语试题第6页（共12页) D Over the past several decades,the technology industry has promised high wages and strong job security.However,AI is already taking over entry-level tech jobs.Major tech companies have laid off thousands of workers in recent years.The recent uncertainty in the labor market has called the value of tech jobs,and tech skills,into question.Despite these challenges,I still believe that pursuing a degree in computer science and related disciplines is a great choice students can make. Computer science is not just about learning to code;the core is thinking creatively to solve complex problems.When I got my degree in computer engineering in 1995,the World Wide Web was just starting,and there were no large-scale search engines.But I learned the foundations of computer science and was trained in problem solving.That training has enabled me to work in many fields over the last 20 years,including work on Google Search. A misconception about computer science is that AI will impact software development more than other fields.In fact,AI will reshape the work of every knowledge worker. Software development is simply the most immediate and natural testing ground,given its digital nature.What AI can do really well is automate the mechanical aspects of the job.In software development,if we provide a precise description,AI can write code for us. However,we are still far away from the day when AI will decide what software systems need to be built and which products should be developed.Therefore,this will not reduce the need for software developers.We still need qualified people who can think critically and solve hard problems and we continue to need them for the foreseeable future. Every knowledge worker will eventually need to work alongside AI.Students should not base what they decide to study on the fear of AI disruption.They should pursue areas they are passionate about-those that spark creativity and allow them to positively impact society. 32.How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A.By using quotations. B.By providing statistics C.By giving a definition. D.By making a comparison. 33.What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning his experience in paragraph 2? A.The achievement of his work. B.The requirement of a Google job. C.The nature of computer science. D.The application of learning coding. 高二英语试题第7页（共12页) 34.What can AI do in software development? A.It develops products people want. B.It decides which systems to build. C.It reduces software developers'need. D.It generates code from instructions. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Focus on Passion Instead of Fear B.Keep Learning Tech in an AI World C.Coding Jobs Face Great Uncertainty D.Computer Science Builds Problem Solvers 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 The Glorious Labor of Taking Care of a Vast Grassland I was giving a talk about the invasive (weeds in our grassland.I was describing the hot,sweaty work of maintaining some 30 acres.Then came a question from the audience."Why do you do it?"a man asked.His sharp question made me pause for thought.36 But the man persisted."Why not just let the grassland become whatever it wants to be? And you could sit under that big maple and sip cold wine instead?"Why do I willfully choose hard labor?If I didn't do this work in the grassland,it would turn into brushland, which is a natural progression.37 I could walk or bike or swim in a favorite wilderness lake and spend whole afternoons reading in a beach chair.Yet what makes those easy pleasures truly meaningful is the sense of accomplishment from hard work. My parents,who had barely survived unimaginably tough labor and hardship,raised me to avoid physical discomfort.38 Laboring in the elements was at the top of their list of things to be avoided.But I enjoyed physical outdoor activities. Physical labor is a celebration of our body's capabilities.We've evolved to move and make efforts.Our bodies need constant physical activity.39 Working slowly lets me notice birds and bees playing.When I am lost in these small discoveries,I find peace in these quiet moments.The tiredness from labor is a"good"tiredness. I gave a meager answer to the man with the difficult question.40 Instead, this is what I could have said-An easy life may not add up to happiness. 高二英语试题第8页（共12页) A.I thought I had explained it in my talk. B.The grassland is a source of happiness. C.Surely there are less tiring ways to stay fit. D.They hoped I could take more outdoor activities. E.Besides physical need,there is pleasure in the work. F.They wanted me to live easily with brains,not strength. G.I just mentioned the value of labor when maintaining a grassland. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I had high hopes of breaking four hours at my second New York City Marathon in 2021.Id devoted several months to 41 for speed work.But around 10 miles in,I knew I wasn't going to 42 it.A slow start and simple mistakes such as overeating left me feeling sick.I could have been 43 by my performance.Instead,I decided to change my 44 and enjoy the experience itself-the lively city,the 45 crowds, and the joy of running through New York's streets.I accepted that I'd walk here and there. I 46 myself with the cheers of strangers and 47 from friends and family.I crossed the finish line 48 with a smile. Still,I wanted my training efforts to 49 with a better performance.So,I signed up for the Half Marathon shortly afterwards.As I chatted with my friend,a psychologist, about the idea of seeking satisfaction by means of another race,she said such 50 was a key quality that runners develop."Determination is like a 51-it grows stronger with practice.Failure teaches the brain to change and 52,"she added.By not giving up during the marathon,I had already taken an important step toward future 53. This idea of learning from failure stayed with me.In the half marathon,I ran strongly and achieved a personal 54,cutting six minutes off my previous time.The experience taught me that while goals like personal records are important,the true 55 lies in the journey. 高二英语试题第9页（共12页) 41.A.testing B.learning C.training D.competing 42.A.take B.make C.keep D.finish 43.A.excited B.confused C.satisfied D.discouraged 44.A.plan B.rule C.focus D.route 45.A.hopeful B.peaceful C.helpful D.cheerful 46.A.fueled B.favored C.controlled D.challenged 47.A.criticism B.support C.warnings D.permission 48.A.gently B.proudly C.nervously D.hesitantly 49.A.pay off B.turn up C.get back D.come true 50.A.warmth B.honesty C.patience D.toughness 51.A.luck B.muscle C.habit D.talent 52.A.adopt B.admit C.adapt D.arrange 53.A.fame B.wealth C.success D.freedom 54.A.best B.goal C.prize D.result 55.A.speed B.profit C.secret D.meaning 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In the summer of 1405,Zheng He,one of China's greatest explorers,set sail from Taicang on his first voyage.A fleet of over 200 ships navigated the blue seas,with almost 28,000 people on board,56 was a splendid scene.According to some records,the largest ships were over 140 metres in length,57(demonstrate)the advanced technology and special skills used in constructing ships.

But then,another thought surfaced.What if this belonged to someone who needed it? His father always said,"Doing the right thing is easy to talk about but hard to do when temptation(欲望)is in front of you.” Timmy stood there,unsure of his next move.Just then,his best friend Jake rode up on his bicycle."Hey,Timl What's that?"Timmy hesitated,then held up the wallet."I found it near the bakery.It's got money and a bank card inside."Jake shrugged."Well,you could keep it.Finders keepers,right?" 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。 Timmy was faced with a difficult choice.
