When I started pet-sitting,I thought I had prepared for everything.Then I met Mr.
Henderson's golden retriever(金毛巡回犬),Monty,and the four-page,single--spaced
instruction sheet that came with him."He thinks his real name is 'What do you have in your
mouth?'"it read."So please check frequently,or you will end up spending the night with
Monty in the Emergency Room."I laughed at first.But within an hour,I found myself Googling
whether dogs could digest socks.
This was my introduction to what pet-care professionals call "eccentric enrichment
instructions.Over the next six months,I collected them like souvenirs.Mrs.Chen's cat
needed its food microwaved for exactly eleven seconds or it would attack.The Goldstein family'
s bulldog required Frank Sinatra playing to perform basic bodily functions."My boy will not get
out of bed unless you say 'Good morning,Mr.President,'"read another note.
Initially,I judged these owners."Their instructions are as complicated as a Tesla owner's
manual(手册),”I complained to fellow sitter Kii Cash,who once had to lock up kitchen
knives because a cat might pick one up and attempt to stab (her.But Nancy Gee,who
directs the Center for Human-Animal Interaction,changed my perspective."Animals cannot
grasp the concept of time,"she explained,"A quick trip to the store feels like abandonment.
Those detailed instructions aren't nonsense-they're love translated into actionable steps.
A 2023 Pew study confirmed her point:51%of U.S.pet owners say their pets are as much
family as any human member.When people name those they trust most,pets often rank closer
高二英语试卷第3页(共8页)
than friends.These eccentrics are how we care for the one nonjudgmental being that loves us
unconditionally.
Now when I read "Jasper cannot be trusted.Good luck,"I don't see a warning.I see a
love letter.
24.What does the description of Monty's instruction sheet in paragraph 1 imply?
A.Monty had been rejected by previous pet sitters.
B.The author was poorly prepared for her new job.
C.The present pet-sitting industry has strict regulations.
D.The owner was deeply concerned about his pet's care.
25.What does the underlined word "eccentric"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Unnecessary.B.Unusual.
C.Unpleasant.
D.Unclear.
26.Why do pet owners leave such detailed care instructions according to Nancy?
A.To impress the pet sitters.
B.For fear of paying medical bills.
C.To avoid pets feeling abandoned.
D.For lack of trust in the pet sitters.
27.What message does the author intend to convey through the text?
A.Every dog has its day.
B.Patience is a virtue in any job.
C.Knowledge is power in odd cases.
D.Love comes in all shapes and sizes.

The Internet opened up a range of reading shortcuts.For instance,Blinkist is an app-
based subscription service that condenses (mostly nonfiction books into about 15-
minute summaries that are available in both audio and text.But generative AI takes such
workarounds to new heights.AI-driven apps like BooksAI provide summaries and analyses that
used to be crafted by humans.Meanwhile,BooksAI chat invites you to "chat"with books.In
neither case do you need to read the books yourself.
Yet this convenience makes us question the very purpose of reading.Why read in the first
place?The reasons are endless,as are the streams of books and websites making the case.
There's reading for pleasure,stress reduction,learning,and personal development.You can
find correlations between reading and happiness,longevity ()brain growth in children,
and even the slowing of cognitive decline.
This last issue is particularly relevant as people increasingly let AI do cognitive work on
their behalf,a process known as cognitive offloading.Research has emerged showing the extent
to which people are engaging in cognitive offloading when they use AI.The evidence reveals
that the more users rely on AI to perform work for them,the less they see themselves as drawing
upon their own thinking capacities.It's too soon to know what effects AI might have on our
long-term ability to think for ourselves.What's more,the research so far has largely focused on
writing tasks or general use of AI tools,not on reading.But if we lose practice in reading,
analyzing,and developing our own interpretations,those skills are at risk of weakening.
Cognitive skills aren't the only thing at risk when we rely too heavily on AI to do our
reading work for us.We also miss out on so much of what makes reading enjoyable-
encountering a moving piece of dialogue,enjoying a turn of phrase,and connecting with a
character.
AI's lure (of efficiency is appealing.But it risks weakening the benefits of literacy
(读写能力),
28.What can we learn about AI-driven reading tools?
A.They are mainly targeted at nonfiction readers.
B.They have replaced traditional reading methods
C.They enable users to read books more efficiently.
D.They have made book summaries accessible to all.
高二英语试卷第4页(共8页)
29.What is the author's concern about cognitive offloading?
A.It may harm human thinking abilities.
B.It may result in reduced AI dependency.
C.It may have a negative impact on concentration.
D.It may weaken confidence in personal reasoning skills
30.What does the author think of AI's role in reading?
A.It is a bitter pill.
B.It is a mind-opener.
C.It is a mixed blessing.
D.It is a game-changer.
31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To provide guidance on using AI for reading.
B.To warn against the overuse of AI in reading.
C.To compare different reading shortcuts offered by AI.
D.To assess the effectiveness of AI-driven reading apps.

We desperately need clean hydrogen for industries that cannot run on renewable
electricity.It might be possible to generate vast amounts from deep rocks while locking away CO
2.Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have shown this works in lab studies."We
hope to generate hydrogen economically while locking away CO2,"says Olga Gleinetser.
Hydrogen burns clean,so it could help make fertiliser and steel-making cleaner.
However,almost all hydrogen is now made from fossil fuels,and green production requires
huge amounts of renewable energy like wind or solar power,which is too costly.Meanwhile,
natural hydrogen,though cheap and clean,is limited in scale and production rates.This has
led to growing interest in stimulated hydrogen production-actively generating hydrogen from
rocks.
One method is pumping water underground.Water reacts with iron-rich rocks via
serpentinisation(蛇纹石化),which is a source of a lot of natural hydrogen..Gleinetser realized
that adding CO2 to the water makes it react with rocks and get locked away as carbonates
)A company called Carbfix is already turning CO2 into minerals this way in Iceland.
In lab tests,iron-rich volcanic rock was first heated to 90C in sealed containers under
high pressure,and then CO2-rich water was added.Compared with water added with other
gases such as argon ()the CO2-rich water released more hydrogen,probably because
carbonic acid broke down rock and allowed more reaction
The researchers were able to release about 0.5%of the hydrogen which was theoretically
possible to obtain from reacting water with the rock.But they think 1%is needed for
workability.A promising way is to go deeper underground,where higher temperatures enhance
serpentinisation.
Globally,there are huge volumes of iron-rich rock,which could yield far more hydrogen
than the 100 million tonnes currently produced."There is growing interest in combining
stimulated hydrogen production with CO2 mineralisation,says Alaksiei Patapcia at the
University of Oxford."Many groups and start-ups are exploring this concept."
32.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A.By quoting a leading researcher.
B.By presenting an urgent demand.
C.By defining a new type of clean energy.
D,By comparing different energy sources.

I have worked in the tour guide business in Egypt for one year,and I believe it will be one
of the greatest experiences of my life.Although the job required long and irregular hours,it was
pleasant living along the river Nile.36
Life as a tour guide was full of challenges.37 What was scheduled as a short tour could
quickly turn into a long,exhausting stretch from morning to night,especially when unexpected
delays or last-minute changes occurred.Sometimes I had to wait at the airport for hours because
of flight delays or missing group members.
38 It took strong interpersonal skills to do it well.Even though dealing with late
drivers,difficult clients,and last-minute bookings could be stressful,I always kept going with
a smile because I knew most of my guests appreciated and valued what I did.
No matter how demanding some clients could be,I always reminded myself that they had likely
invested a lot in making this trip to Egypt happen,so I made it my goal to ensure their experience was
truly worth it.39 I would give my cell phone number to my clients and encourage them to call me
in case they had any difficulties or would like to arrange something special.
40 I had some free time in Egypt,which allowed me to explore the country from top to
bottom on my own.I was given heavily reduced hotel rates,and was able to see Egypt at my own
pace with two five-day vacations over the year.
A.This job came with an added bonus.
B.My tour groups were usually about 15 to 30 visitors.
C.The tour guide business required a high level of confidence.
D.It was also wonderful to meet people from various cultures.
E.These challenges often arose from the unpredictability of travel.
F.Nothing made me prouder than helping make their experience enjoyable.
G.Building a positive connection with foreign travelers wasn't always easy.

The Most Important Factor in Choosing a Major

The Last Lap
Maya had never been friends with water.At ten,she nearly drowned at a beach vacation,
and since then,even bathtubs made her nervous.So when West High announced that every
junior had to pass a 200-meter swim test to graduate,she felt the old panic rise in her chest
like floodwater.
She had failed twice already.The first time,she froze at the deep end,her fingers holding
the lane rope,unable to move.The second time,she made it to 120 meters before her legs
cramped (and she had to be pulled out,coughing and ashamed.This was her final
chance-the last lap,in every sense.
"You don't need to be fast,"her best friend Sarah kept saying,adjusting the red string
bracelet(手链)on Maya's wrist..“You just need to finish..”Maya touched the bracelet..Her
grandmother had tied it on before they moved,murmuring that it would keep her safe near
water.She wished she believed in that kind of magic.
Mr.Liu,the PE teacher,bent down by the starting block.He never shouted or pressured.
At her second failure,he simply said,"The test isn't about swimming.It's about not giving
up."Those words had become her wallpaper,her lock screen,her midnight reminder.
When her turn came,Maya lowered herself into the pool.The shallow end felt manageable.
She pushed off,counting strokes (to keep her mind from falling into fear.Twenty meters.
Forty.Her arms moved in awkward rhythm,nothing elegant,purely functional.At sixty meters,
the depth dropped to two meters,and the water beneath her turned dark blue.She forced her
eyes to stay on the lane divider.
One hundred meters.Her shoulders burned.One-twenty-where she had failed before.
She kept going.One-forty.Her breath became increasingly heavy,each intake half water,half
air.The sounds of the pool faded.She heard only her heart,pounding against her chest like
someone demanding to be let in.

Possible version one:
The Most Important Factor in Choosing a Major
When choosing a major,I believe personal interest is the most important factor.
Interest is the best teacher.If we choose a major we truly like,we will be more willing to spend time and
energy learning it.Even when we meet difficulties,interest can give us the motivation to keep going.Besides,a
major based on personal interest can help us develop our strengths and enjoy our future work.Of course,parents
advice and social needs are also worth considering,because they may help us make a wiser choice.However,they
should not replace our own interest.
In my opinion,only by following our interest can we study with passion and achieve long-term success
Possible version two:
The Most Important Factor in Choosing a Major
In my view,social needs should be considered first when we choose a major.
A university major is closely connected with our future career.If what we learn meets the needs of society,
we may have more chances to find a suitable job after graduation.For example,majors related to technology,
medicine and education are becoming increasingly important today.Choosing such majors can not only help us
realize our own value but also allow us to make contributions to society.Although personal interest and parents
advice are important,we should not ignore real social development.
Therefore,considering social needs can help us make a more practical choice and better prepare for the
future.

Paragraph 1:At the 150-meter mark,her legs felt like they were made of stone.Exhaustion set in as panic seized
her,the dark water below threatening to swallow her whole.Never before had she felt so close to defeat.It was
then that her fingers brushed the red bracelet,whose warmth reminded her of what Mr.Liu had told her.Gripping
the lane divider,Maya felt fear slowly give way to determination,her arms moving in mechanical rhythm.Her
vision blurred,but the lane rope guided her forward.She wasn't swimming anymore;she was fighting.
Paragraph 2:With one last effort,she reached the finish wall.She gasped for air,coughing up water as well as
exhaustion.Cheers broke through the fog -Sarah was crying by the poolside,and Mr.Liu gave her a quiet
thumbs-up.Maya pulled herself onto the deck and looked back at the blue lane,still unable to believe she had
crossed it.Mr.Liu helped her the rest of the way,wrapping a towel around her shoulders.Overwhelmed by relief,
she touched the red bracelet,realizing that six years of terror had melted away in eight minutes of refusal to quit
What defined her victory was not the distance conquered,but the courage discovered within herself.As it turned
out,some magic isn't in the string itself,but in the hands that tied it and the heart that believes

W:Hello,Dr.Green,I'm here to talk to you about my work placement.
M:Oh,yes.So,which work placement have you chosen?
W:I decided to go for the Orion Stadium placement.The event I'll be managing is one where I'm helping to set
up a sports competition for primary school children.
M:Yup.That's always a popular placement,even though it can be tougher than you think,working with children.
W:I know,but it's the fresh air that fascinates me.Organizing something indoors doesn't have the same appeal,
even though it might be fun.
M:OK.Just a heads-up-watch out for flying balls and equipment around the kids.
W:Yes,I'll ask whether they provide some protective wear.And I'll also need to make sure none of the
equipment's damaged.
M:Ah,well,you'll be working with schools,so the equipment will be their responsibility.However,the grounds
and what goes on there will be yours.
W:Oh,I see.

W:Good morning,everyone.Welcome to our special feature on a meaningful event hosted by the charity
organization Save Our Street Dogs,or SOSD.On August 2nd,SOSD will hold its annual fundraising and adoption
event in Urban Park.This combined event aims to raise funds for a new care center while also helping more street
dogs find loving homes.
The funds raised are crucial for the construction of the SOSD Care Center,a major step to accommodate
more dogs in need.At present,SOSD cares for 160 dogs at its shelters and also feeds 70 homeless dogs wandering
around on Jurong Island
During the event,visitors can meet several dogs seeking forever homes.These include Odin,recently rescued
from an abandoned factory and now recovering from an eye injury;Caleb,a loving dog who was left behind after
his owner moved away;and Tami,a fun companion rescued from a forest,who had surgery after suffering a
severe leg injury.These three are just a few of the furry friends waiting for adopters.
On-the-spot volunteer registration will also be available on August 2nd.This is a great chance to support a
worthy cause,so why not take part in the event on August 2nd and help a dog find its forever home?
