And the good news is that you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Great UK WaterBlitz This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. 21. Which project equips participants with tools? A. Big Butterfly Count B. The Great UK WaterBlitz C. The Big Garden Birdwatch D. Nature’s Calendar 22. What is the main goal of Nature’s Calendar? A. To inform the public of seasonal shifts. B. To demonstrate biodiversity on a calendar. C. To monitor the impacts of climate change. D. To protect the wildlife living in your area. 23. What do the four projects have in common? A. They take place on a yearly basis. B. They are limited to nature reserves. C. They collect data recorded by participants. D. They ask experts to guide volunteers. B The eyes of an artist are special. They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement. “Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device. Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.” Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways. That’s what we want to show.” Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine. 24. What’s special about Emily Shifflet? A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents. C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes. 25. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox? A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter. C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome. 26. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online? A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities. C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life. 27. What does the text indicate? A. Art originates from life but is higher than life. B. Technology has made our life worth living. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Technology breaks down barriers. C Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52% of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. “While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” In this study, participants were placed into settings as mock patients and asked whether and under what circumstances they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In the first phase, researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference and about 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed that their primary care physician felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity did not affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I really feel this study has the importance for national reach. It will guide many future studies and clinical transitional decisions even now,” Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 28. What can we infer about AI treatment from Paragraph 2? A. Further clinical research is required. B. Its benefits remain to be confirmed. C. It can ensure a good listening patient experience. D. Physician involvement will increase patients’ acceptance. 29. What may affect participants’ preference for AI treatment according to the research? A. Their sensitivity to AI’s value. B. The questions they were asked. C. The access to the physicians. D. Their personal backgrounds. 30. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Attempt. B. Responsibility. C. Impression. D. Opportunity. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems D. Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI D When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947). Who would write the first great novel of the latest era? Two of America’s novelists, Michael Cunningham and Sigrid Nunez, have recently published novels that try to carry this tradition. The narrator of The Vulnerables by Ms Nunez is an older writer who lives in New York and has all the concerns of a middle-aged, middle-class American living in the 21st century. She ends up in an apartment alone, but her real crisis is literary. Suffering from writer's block, she concludes that “the traditional novel” has lost its “urgency” now. Mr Cunningham's Day, coincidentally, is just the kind of traditional novel Ms Nunez suggests is now outdated. It tells the story of a young family in New York — Dan, an ageing singer, and Isabel, a photo editor, have two young children. His recent unemployment accelerates the breakdown of their marriage and the relationships of several other people they know. Day is alive with all of the small thoughts, looks and feelings that the global financial crisis caused. Unlike historical transformations during previous centuries, the impacts of current events on novels have so far been weakened. With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham’s books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory. Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground. As people’s depression gradually gave way to the optimism of the digital age, they soon slipped right back into normality. The same is proving true for fiction. Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same. 32. Why does the author mention Jhon Steinbeck and Albert Camus in paragraph 1? A. To set a standard. B. To raise a question. C. To clarify a confusion. D. To illustrate a phenomenon. 33. What do The Vulnerables and Day have in common? A. Both belong to traditional novels. B. Both present characters faced with crises. C. Both are written in first-person perspective. D. Both reveal mental issues caused by unemployment. 34. What is the significance of Ms Nunez’s and Mr Cunningham's books? A. They adopt novel subject matters. B. They highlight changes in family relationships. C. They serve as records of a special but passing period. D. They push the boundaries of fiction for their contemporaries. 35. Which best describes the author’s attitude towards the two novels? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 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。 Nowadays, many people have trouble sleeping. According to a study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, nearly 40% of people in 13 countries reported sleep problems over the past two years. As we age, sleeping becomes even harder. ____36____ Waking up at night is normal, especially when getting older, but bad news can keep your mind active and make it difficult to fall back asleep. Simple actions like keeping your bedroom between 15.5 and 19.5degrees Celsius and avoiding screens 30 minutes before bed can help. Here are four more useful tips. Test your pillow. A pillow bought in 2020 is already too old. Experts say pillows should be changed every one to two years. ____37____ According to Dr. Michael J. Breus, when the brain feels pain, it cannot send sleep signals. Get enough sunlight. Morning sunlight is key to good sleep. It stops melatonin (褪黑素) production in your brain, helping you feel less sleepy in the morning. It also helps your brain produce melatonin later at night. Try to get 15-30 minutes of morning sun, plus two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day. ____38____ ____39____ Eating salty snacks like potato chips can cause nighttime trips to the bathroom. A Japanese study found that when people reduced salt, their bathroom visits dropped from twice a night to once. More salt meant more wake-ups. According to Dr. Rafael Pelayo, these trips make it hard to fall back asleep, leading to tiredness and even depression. Solve problems before dinner. ____40____ Talk earlier. Dr. Ashley Mason suggests working things out right before dinner. Arguments after dinner can continue until bedtime, activating your nervous system and disturbing sleep. Going to bed angry may even make you feel worse the next morning. A. Opening curtains also helps. B. Avoid salty snacks before bed. C. Eat a light meal two hours before bedtime. D. A new pillow never causes any neck or shoulder pain. E. By 60, people tend to wake up more often and get less sleep. F. Don’t wait until night to discuss difficult issues with your partner. G. An old pillow can cause neck and shoulder pain, leading to poor sleep. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 Kathy Xu, a high school teacher, had always wanted to see a shark in the wild.

The discovery gave scientists hope,and it could be 53 for an in-depth conservation study. In the past decade, global demand for shark fins has 54 —a promising result of conservation campaigns. For now, Kathy, 41, is proud of the small changes she sees happening on Lombok, from the fishermen who now have a new way to 55 an income to the schoolchildren who learn about sharks on tours with The Dorsal Effect. 41.

They first appeared in the Han Dynasty and 56 (become) popular in later dynasties, mainly fixed on the edges of temple, palace and imperial(皇家的) building 57 (roof). These mythical (神秘的) creatures usually stand in a line, with a leading figure called Chi-lin (麒麟), 58 symbol of good luck.

The number of eaves beasts was 61 (strict) controlled in ancient times, depending on the building's status; more beasts meant higher status, with the Forbidden City having the most. 62 (make) of materials like glazed tile(瓦片) and stone, eaves beasts are not only visually appealing 63 practical. They can protect roof corners from rain damage and balance the roof structure. Today, they are precious cultural relics, 64 (show) ancient Chinese craftsmen's wisdom and the deep cultural meanings behind traditional architecture.They remind us of the long history and brilliant art of our ancestors, and it's our duty 65 (protect) and pass them down. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校成立了汉服社、龙舟社两个学生社团。你校英国交换生 Pete不知如何选择，写信向你求助。请你给他回信，内容包括： 1. 推荐某一社团；2. 说明理由。 参考词汇：the Hanfu Club汉服社；the Dragon Boat Club龙舟社。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Pete, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a college. Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet, her love for ballet had faded years before, and she was eager for a new challenge. One day at school, as Kelly left the dance studio, she walked past the gym, fascinated by boxers training inside the boxing ring (拳击赛场). She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing. She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack. On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase: BOXING CLUB TRYOUT (选拔). That was what Kelly really wanted to do. She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve (开辟) her own path. The next day, she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right? Besides, boxing is only for boys, and you’re so good at ballet. Lean into your strength, Kelly.” “But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted, “and what exactly does ‘only for boys’ mean, anyway? Boxing is a sport for everyone!” Gradually, touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her. Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision, no matter what. But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout, where she was required to show her footwork (步法) and punching (击打) abilities with other candidates (候选人). Boxing didn’t come natural to Kelly, but she had made úp her mind to stick with her choice. 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。 Para l: Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级期末考试英语参考答案 题序 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 答案 A B C B C A C C A B B A A C B 题序 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B A C B A B C C A A C D D D B 题序 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 答案 A D B C A E G A B F C D A B C 题序 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 答案 C B D B D A A B A D 【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个招募志愿者的环保项目。 21.

(这个简单易行的三步流程要求你选定一个物种及其行为表现，确定要记录的区域，并在在线系统中记录下这些行为发生的日期。)”可知，这四个项目的共同之处是它们收集参与者记录的数据。故选C。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了患有雷特综合征（Rett syndrome）的艺术家Emily Shifflet在科技辅助下克服身体障碍，成功创作艺术，实现创造力和人生价值的故事。 24. A细节理解题。根据第一段“she creates her art literally using only her eyes(她仅用眼睛创作艺术)和第二段“Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox(Emily使用眼控数字软件Tobii Dynavox创作艺术)”可知，她的特殊之处在于能用眼睛绘画。故选A项。 25. A细节理解题。根据第二段“Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox(Emily使用眼控数字软件Tobii Dynavox创作艺术)”和第四段“Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer.(Tobii Dynavox真的帮助她表达了自己的感受。这个绘画工具真的改变了她的生活)”可知，该软件能辅助艺术创作。故选A项。 26. C推理判断题。根据文章第四段“She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways.(她现在通过她的网站“Eye Gaze Designs by Emily”出售她独一无二的艺术品。“她的作品是一份礼物，”珍妮说。“它向人们表明，不同能力的人可以以不同的方式创造和成功”)”可知，珍妮在网上卖她女儿的艺术品目的是激励人们追求自己的成功。故选C项。 27. D推理判断题。主要讲述了患有雷特综合征（Rett syndrome）的艺术家Emily Shifflet在科技辅助下克服身体障碍，成功创作艺术，实现创造力和人生价值的故事。由此推知，文章体现了“科技打破限制”。故选D项。 【语篇导读】文章介绍了一项患者对于在医疗诊断与治疗中使用人工智能态度的研究，通过实验的过程来说明新的科学研究发现及其启示。 28. D推理判断题。根据第二段““While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” (研究负责人Marvin Slepian表示：“尽管许多患者似乎抗拒使用人工智能，但信息的准确性、情感鼓励以及耐心倾听的就医体验，有助于提高患者对人工智能的接受度。要确保人工智能在临床实践中切实发挥作用，未来还需研究医生如何合理配合应用人工智能，以及患者就医决策的最优方式。”)”可知，医生的参与会提升患者对AI诊疗的接受度。 29. D细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. (第二阶段，研究人员采用盲法随机调查，对来自不同民族、种族以及社会经济阶层的2472名受访者展开调研)”可知，在第二阶段，研究的参与者来自不同背景。结合第六段中“Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. (与白人受访者相比，黑人受访者选择人工智能的比例更低，而美洲原住民受访者选择比例更高。年长人群以及自认政治立场保守的人群，也更不愿选择人工智能。这些研究结果表明，向不同群体普及人工智能在提升诊断水平方面的价值与作用时，需要区别对待、细致关注各类人群的差异)”可知，参与者的种族、年龄和政治倾向等个人背景因素对其对人工智能治疗的偏好产生了影响，即个人背景会影响偏好。 30. B 词意猜测题。根据最后一段中“The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care. (医生和其他医疗行业从业者将肩负起这样的onus：确保人工智能系统中的信息准确无误，并且在人工智能在未来医疗保健领域发挥日益重要作用的过程中，持续维护并提高其准确性)”可知，医生和医疗工作者们需要承担起确保人工智能系统信息准确的责任，划线词onus的意思是“责任”。 31. A主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52% of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. (由人工智能提供的医疗方案正日益普及，且有望提高诊断准确率；但亚利桑那大学健康科学中心研究人员开展的一项新研究发现，约52%的受访者看病诊疗时，仍会选择真人医生而非人工智能)”可知，文章开篇指出约52%的参与者更倾向人类医生而非人工智能诊断，后续详细分析了不同群体对人工智能的接受程度差异，整体围绕“患者对人工智能和人类医生的信任分歧”展开，A选项“The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients (对人工智能的信任：患者之间的分歧)”符合文章主旨，是文章的最佳标题。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了两部小说The Vulnerables和Day如何反映当前社会危机对人们生活的影响，并对这些作品的文学价值进行了评价。 32. D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的句子“When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline, writers and critics, finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual, wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events, as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Albert Camus’s imagining of a cholera outbreak — The Plague (1947).(当世界面临越来越多的危机时，包括气候变化和经济衰退，作家和评论家发现他们手中有比平时更多的灵感和材料，想知道这些戏剧性的变化会如何影响小说。文学记录和塑造了全球事件，如约翰·斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》（1939）和阿尔伯特·加缪对霍乱爆发的想象——《瘟疫》（1947）。)”可知，作者提到这些作家是为了说明文学如何记录和被全球事件塑造这种现象。故选D项。 33. B细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises, but also, at least for writers and readers of literature, how much stayed the same.(这两部小说都提醒读者，他们的生活在危机中发生了多大的变化，但至少对作家和文学读者来说，有多少东西保持不变。)”可知，这两部小说都展示了人物在危机中面临的挑战。故选B项。 34. C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives, Ms Nunez's and Mr Cunningham's books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory.(随着科技加速了人们的生活节奏，努涅斯女士和坎宁安先生的书可能最好被视为某个时代的文件，而这个时代现在似乎越来越遥远。)”可知，这些书作为记录一个特殊但逐渐成为过去的时期的文献具有重要意义。故选C项。 35. A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground.(尽管题材新颖，但这些书并没有突破文学领域。)”可知，作者对这两部小说持客观态度，认为它们虽然有新的主题，但并未在文学上取得突破。故选A项。 36.E。根据上文“As we age, sleeping becomes even harder.(随着年龄增长，睡眠会变得更困难)”可知，空格处承接上文，具体说明年龄带来的睡眠变化。E选项 “By 60, people tend to wake up more often and get less sleep.(到60岁时，人们往往夜间醒来更频繁、睡眠时间更少)” 符合语境。 37.G根据上文“Experts say pillows should be changed every one to two years.(专家建议枕头每一到两年更换一次)” 以及下文 “when the brain feels pain, it cannot send sleep signals.(大脑感受到疼痛就无法发出睡眠信号)”可知，空格处说明旧枕头的不良影响。G选项 “An old pillow can cause neck and shoulder pain, leading to poor sleep.(旧枕头会造成肩颈疼痛，进而导致睡眠不佳)” 符合语境。 38.A。根据本段小标题 “Get enough sunlight.(多晒阳光)” 以及上文 “Try to get 15-30 minutes of morning sun, plus two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day.(尽量每天晒 15–30 分钟晨间阳光，白天再进行两次各 15 分钟的户外休息)”可知，空格处补充获取晨光的简单方法。A选项 “Opening curtains also helps.(拉开窗帘也有帮助)” 符合语境。 39.B。根据下文“Eating salty snacks like potato chips can cause nighttime trips to the bathroom. A Japanese study found that when people reduced salt, their bathroom visits dropped from twice a night to once. More salt meant more wake-ups.(食用薯片这类高盐零食，可能会让人夜间频繁起夜。日本一项研究发现，当人们减少盐分摄入后，夜间如厕次数从每晚两次降至一次。盐分摄入越多，夜间醒来的次数就越多)”可知，本段介绍高盐零食会增加起夜次数、干扰睡眠可知，空格处为本段小标题，概括睡前避开高盐零食。B选项 “Avoid salty snacks before bed.(睡前避免高盐零食)” 为本段的最佳标题。 40.F。根据下文“Talk earlier. Dr. Ashley Mason suggests working things out right before dinner.(尽早沟通。阿什利・梅森博士建议在晚饭前把问题解决好)”可知，空格处说明讨论问题的时间问题，要尽早解决。F选项 “Don’t wait until night to discuss difficult issues with your partner.(不要等到夜里才和伴侣讨论难题)” 引出下文建议，符合语境。 41.

Compared with the Hanfu Club, which mainly focuses on traditional costume appreciation, the Dragon Boat Club places greater emphasis on teamwork and physical endurance. What makes the Dragon Boat Club particularly appealing is its unique combination of physical challenge and cultural heritage, allowing participants to gain both enjoyment and meaningful experience. Moreover, participation in the Dragon Boat Club offers a valuable opportunity to gain deeper insight into the spirit of perseverance deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Given your interest in Chinese culture, I believe the Dragon Boat Club would suit you perfectly. I am confident that this choice will be both rewarding and memorable. I hope my suggestion proves helpful. Please feel free to let me know if you would like more information. Yours Li Hua 第二节  Para l: Then Kelly began her training, keeping it a secret from her mom. Every day after school, Kelly dashed to the boxing gym, occupying herself with the intense training. Even when she was made fun of by boys in the gym, she bit her lip tightly and continued her training. Finally, the tryout came. Extremely nervous though, she stepped into the boxing ring, moved fast and punched hard to the surprise of other candidates. After the tryout, Kelly left the gym confidently, knowing she did her best.  Para 2: The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. To her delight, Kelly found her name on the list. At dinner that day, Kelly gathered her courage and said to her mom, “I'm sorry, Mom. I've made the boxing team and I'm ready to carve my own path.” At first, a flicker of disbelief and shock crossed her mom's face, but after a long, heart-to-heart talk, she gave Kelly a bear hug and whispered softly, “I'm so proud of you for being yourself. ” 听力材料 Text 1 W: Hey, listen!

creates her art literally using only her eyes((她仅用眼睛创作艺术)和第二 段“Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox(Emily使用眼 控数字软件Tobii Dynavox创作艺术)”可知，她的特殊之处在于能用眼睛绘画。故选A项。 25.A细节理解题。根据第二段“Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox(Emily使用眼控数字软件Tobii Dynavox创作艺术)”和第四段Tobii Dynavox

AI,accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,"Marvin Slepian,who led the research,said."To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice,future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required,”(研究负责人Marvin Slepian表示：“尽管 许多患者似乎抗拒使用人工智能，但信息的准确性、情感鼓励以及耐心倾听的就医体验，有助于提高患 者对人工智能的接受度。要确保人工智能在临床实践中切实发挥作用，未来还需研究医生如何合理配合 应用人工智能，以及患者就医决策的最优方式。”)”可知，医生的参与会提升患者对AI诊疗的接受度。 29.D细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the second phase,researchers surveyed2,472 participants across diverse ethnic,racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded,randomized survey.(第二阶段，研究人员采用盲法随 机调查，对来自不同民族、种族以及社会经济阶层的2472名受访者展开调研)可知，在第二阶段，研究 的参与者来自不同背景。结合第六段中“Compared to white participants,black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often.Older participants were less likely to choose AI,as were those who self-identified as politically conservative.These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. 受访者相比，黑人受访者选择人工智能的比例更低，而美洲原住民受访者选择比例更高。年长人群以及 自认政治立场保守的人群，也更不愿选择人工智能。这些研究结果表明，向不同群体普及人工智能在提 升诊断水平方面的价值与作用时，需要区别对待、细致关注各类人群的差异)”可知，参与者的种族、年龄 和政治倾向等个人背景因素对其对人工智能治疗的偏好产生了影响，即个人背景会影响偏好。 30.B词意猜测题。根据最后一段中“The onus will be on physicians and other's in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate,and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care.(医生和其他医疗行业从业者将肩负起这样的onus:确保 人工智能系统中的信息准确无误，并且在人工智能在未来医疗保健领域发挥日益重要作用的过程中，持 续维护并提高其准确性)可知，医生和医疗工作者们需要承担起确保人工智能系统信息准确的责任，划线 词onus的意思是“责任”。 3l.A主台大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy,but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52%of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment.(由人工智能提供的医疗方案正日益普及，且有望提高诊断准确率；但亚利桑那大 学健康科学中心研究人员开展的一项新研究发现，约52%的受访者看病诊疗时，仍会选择真人医生而非 人工智能)”可知，文章开篇指出约52%的参与者更倾向人类医生而非人工智能诊断，后续详细分析了不同 群体对人工智能的接受程度差异，整体围绕“患者对人工智能和人类医生的信任分歧”展开，A选项Te Trust in AI:A Split Among Patients(对人工智能的信任：患者之间的分歧)'符合文章主台，是文章的最佳标 题。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了两部小说The Vulnerables和D如何反映当前社会危机对 人们生活的影响，并对这些作品的文学价值进行了评价。 32.D推理判断题。根据文章第一段的句子When the world is faced with a growing number of crises, including climate change and economic decline,writers and critics,finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual,wondered how these dramatic changes would affect novels. Literature has documented and been shaped by global events,as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939),and Albert Camus's imagining of a cholera outbreak一The Plague(1947).(当世界面临越来越多的危机 时，包括气候变化和经济衰退，作家和评论家发现他们手中有比平时更多的灵感和材料，想知道这些戏 剧性的变化会如何影响小说。文学记录和塑造了全球事件，如约翰·斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》(1939) 和阿尔伯特·加缪对霍乱爆发的想象一《瘟疫》(1947)。)”可知，作者提到这些作家是为了说明文学 如何记录和被全球事件塑造这种现象。故选D项。 33.B细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises,but also,at least for writers and readers of literature,.how much stayed the same..(这两部小说都 提醒读者，他们的生活在危机中发生了多大的变化，但至少对作家和文学读者来说，有多少东西保持不 变。)可知，这两部小说都展示了人物在危机中面临的挑战。故选B项。 34.C细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives,Ms Nunez's and Mr Cunningham's books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory.(随着科技加速了人们的生活节奏，努涅斯女士和坎宁安先生的书可能最好被 视为某个时代的文件，而这个时代现在似乎越来越遥远。)”可知，这些书作为记录一个特殊但逐渐成为过 去的时期的文献具有重要意义。故选C项。 35.A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Des即ite their new subject matter,these books do not break literary ground.(尽管题材新颖，但这些书并没有突破文学领域。)”可知，作者对这两部小说持客观态度， 认为它们虽然有新的主题，但并未在文学上取得突破。故选A项。 36.E。根据上文“As we age,.sleeping becomes even harder.(随着年龄增长，睡眠会变得更困难)”可知，空格 处承接上文，具体说明年龄带来的睡眠变化。E选项“By60,people tend to wake up more often and get less sleep.(到60岁时，人们往往夜间醒来更频繁、睡眠时间更少)”符合语境。 37.G根据上文“Experts say pillows should be changed every one to two

高盐零食会增加起夜次数、干扰睡眠可知，空格处为本段小标题，概括睡前避开高盐零食。B选项 “Avoid salty snacks before bed.(睡前避免高盐零食)”为本段的最佳标题。 40.F。根据下文Talk earlier.Dr.Ashley Mason suggests working things out right before dinner.(尽早沟通。阿什

I hope my suggestion proves helpful.Please feel free to let me know if you would like more information.

"Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her,she is still able to communicate and express herself through art,and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity," said Emily's mother,Jenny Shifflet.Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox.She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device. Meghan Winslow,owner of a family art studio,said,"I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select.It's an amazing mix of science,technology and art." Emily has always been exposed to music and art.Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling.The painting tool was truly a game-changer."Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,"Jenny said.Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts.She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website,Eye Gaze Designs by Emily."Her artwork is a gift,"Jenny said."It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways.That's what we want to show."

Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy,but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52%of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. "While many patients appear resistant to the use of Al,accuracy of information,encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,"Marvin Slepian,who led the research,said."To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice,future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” In this study,participants were placed into settings as mock patients and asked whether and under what circumstances they would prefer to have an aI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In the first phase,researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients,testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies.In the second phase,researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic,racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded,randomized survey. Overall,participants were almost evenly split,with more than 52%choosing human doctors as a preference and about 47%choosing an AI diagnostic method.If study participants were informed that their primary care physician felt AI was superior,the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased.This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient's decision. Disease severity did not affect participants'trust in AI.Compared to white participants,black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often.Older participants were less likely to choose AI,as were those who self-identified as politically conservative.These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of aI to enhance diagnoses. "I really feel this study has the importance for national reach.It will guide many future studies and clinical transitional decisions even now,Slepian said."The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in Al systems is accurate,and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care." 28.What can we infer about AI treatment from Paragraph 2? A.Further clinical research is required. B.Its benefits remain to be confirmed. C.It can ensure a good listening patient experience. D.Physician involvement will increase patients'acceptance. 29.What may affect participants'preference for AI treatment according to the research? A.Their sensitivity to AI's value. B.The questions they were asked. C.The access to the physicians. D.Their personal backgrounds. 30.What does the underlined word"onus"in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Attempt. B.Responsibility. C.Impression. D.Opportunity. 31.Which would be the best title for this passage? A.The Trust in AI:A Split Among Patients B.Bridging the Gap:Human Doctors and AI C.An Important Study:The Future of AI Systems D.Improving Diagnostic Accuracy:The Role of AI D When the world is faced with a growing number of crises,including climate change and economic decline,writers and critics,finding themselves with even more inspirations and materials on their hands than usual,wondered how these 4 dramatic changes would affect novels.Literature has documented and been shaped by global events,as seen in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939),and Albert Camus's imagining of a cholera outbreak-The Plague (1947).Who would write the first great novel of the latest era? Two of America's novelists,Michael Cunningham and Sigrid Nunez,have recently published novels that try to cany this tradition.The narrator of The Vulnerables by Ms Nunez is an older writer who lives in New York and has all the concerns of a middle-aged,middle-class American living in the 21st century.She ends up in an apartment alone,but her real crisis is literary.Suffering from writer's block,she concludes that "the traditional novel"has lost its "urgency"now.Mr Cunningham's Dav,coincidentally,is just the kind of traditional novel Ms Nunez suggests is now outdated.It tells the story of a young family in New York-Dan,an ageing singer,and Isabel,a photo editor,have two young children.His recent unemployment accelerates the breakdown of their marriage and the relationships of several other people they know.Dav is alive with all of the small thoughts,looks and feelings that the global financial crisis caused. Unlike historical transformations during previous centuries,the impacts of current events on novels have so far been weakened.With technology accelerating the pace of people's lives,Ms Nunez's and Mr Cunningham's books may best be regarded as documents of a certain time that now seems an increasingly distant memory.Despite their new subject matter, these books do not break literary ground.As people's depression gradually gave way to the optimism of the digital age,they soon slipped right back into normality.The same is proving true for fiction.Both novels remind readers how much their lives changed during the crises,but also,at least for writers and readers of literature,how much stayed the same. 32.Why does the author mention Jhon Steinbeck and Albert Camus in paragraph 1? A.To set a standard. B.To raise a question. C.To clarify a confusion. D.To illustrate a phenomenon. 33.What do The Vulnerables and Day have in common? A.Both belong to traditional novels. B.Both present characters faced with crises. C.Both are written in first-person perspective. D.Both reveal mental issues caused by unemployment. 34.What is the significance of Ms Nunez's and Mr Cunningham's books? A.They adopt novel subject matters. B.They highlight changes in family relationships C.They serve as records of a special but passing period. D.They push the boundaries of fiction for their contemporaries. 35.Which best describes the author's attitude towards the two novels? A.Objective. B.Positive. C.Negative. D.Unconcerned 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。 Nowadays,many people have trouble sleeping.According to a study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine,nearly 40%of people in 13 countries reported sleep problems over the past two years.As we age,sleeping becomes even harder. _36Waking up at night is normal,especially when getting older,but bad news can keep your mind active and make it difficult to fall back asleep.Simple actions like keeping your bedroom between 15.5 and 19.5degrees Celsius and avoiding screens 30 minutes before bed can help.Here are four more useful tips.

One day at school,as Kelly left the dance studio,she walked past the gym,fascinated by boxers training inside the boxing ring ()She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved.In fact,she'd long been attracted to boxing.
