B This year marks my eighth publication.It feels like quite an.achievement, especially when there were times I thought I'd never get a book put out. 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第4页（共12页） My dream of being an author started as a child,as I stared at the shelves of books in Oldham Library,hoping that one of my works would sit there one day.It seemed like a daydream.But:I still read whatever I could,from books over breakfast to the labels on shampoo bottles.I learned how to join sentences together,trying to figure out how they worked. It wasn't until my twenties,when I was doing a job I hated,that I finally gathered up the courage to try writing a novel.I taught'myself how to touch-type and spent all my lunchtime in bookshops. I tried to see all my efforts as practice runs,but the setbacks made it difficult to carry on.Writing often felt like breaking a secret code.What were publishers looking for?What might sell?What should I actually write?There didn't seem to be any answers to my questions,and I wrote many novels in the years that followed.Ameng all the rejections,there were pieces of feedback and words of encouragement that kept me going,and I held onto these words like lifeboats.More importantly,each story taught me something new about structure,character,dialogue,and even about myself. The first book that made it was the ninth one I wrote,which took me eighteen months to complete.It gained great popularity in twenty-five countries worldwide, with film rights optioned by a major Hollywood studio.This was a dreamlike moment, proof that all those lonely hours and drafts had been worth it. Since then,it's been a roller-coaster ride.Some of my works slip from my fingertips onto the page,whereas others are an uphill battle.Questioning if I was being unrealistic often filled me with anxiety.Was becoming an author an impossible hope?Was I good enough?Confidence has always been a block for me,but however painful or joyful the experience is,what I did have was determination.So,if you're on the long,winding road to your dream,having no idea of how to keep moving forward,this might become your secret weapon too. 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第5页（共12页） 24.What first inspired the author to be a writer?

A.Practice makes perfect. B.It is never too old to learn. C.Where there is a will,there is a way. D.Nothing is difficult to a confident man. C Most people have heard the advice to "sleep on it"when faced with a tough decision.New research suggests it may be grounded in science.While many people report breakthrough ideas showing up in dreams,researchers have struggled to test this phenomenon because dreams are difficult to control in a lab setting. A new study from Northwestern University shows the possibility to influence what people dream about.The researchers used a technique called targeted memory reactivation (TMR).The study included 20 participants who had prior experience with lucid (dreaming,meaning they sometimes realized they were dreaming while still asleep.In the lab,they attempted to solve some brain puzzles,each of which was paired with a distinctive soundtrack.Most puzzles remained unsolved due to their difficulty.Participants then spent the night in the lab.During REM sleep, the rapid eye movement stage of sleep when vivid and sometimes lucid dreams occur, scientists replayed the soundtracks linked to half of the unsolved puzzles to selectively 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第6页（共12页） awaken those memories. The next morning,participants described their dreams.Many reported imagery or ideas connected to the puzzles.In 12 out of 20 participants,dreams referred more often to the puzzles associated with sound signals than the rest.These same participants were more likely to solve the reawakened puzzles after waking,improving their success rate from 20%to 40%-which was significant. Even so,the results don't prove dreaming directly causes better solutions.Other factors,like heightened curiosity about certain puzzles,could have influenced both dreaming and performance.Still,successfully guiding dream content marks an important advance in understanding how sleep may support creative thinking. "Many problems in the world today require creative solutions.By learning more about how our brains are able to think anew,we could be closer to solving the problems we want to solve,and sleep engineering could help,"said Ken Paller,the study's lead author and a postdoctoral researcher in Paller's Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory.If scientists can definitively say dreams are important for problem solving,creativity and emotion regulation,hopefully people will take dreams seriously as a priority for mental health and well-being. 28.In the experiment,the 20 participants are required to A.rate the lucid dream they have B.pair the puzzles with soundtracks C.talk about their dreams the next day D.wake up when having a lucid dream 29.What can be inferred about the study? A.Unique sounds can boost our thinking. B.Prior experience can benefit our performance. C.Heightened curiosity may enhance our dreaming D.People may plant thoughts in dreams for creativity. 30.The author quotes Ken Paller mainly to A.draw a comparison B.present future problems C.evaluate a statement D.highlight study significance 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第7页（共12贞） D A year ago,Christie's auction house in New York sold a collection of AI-generated art.The first-of-its-kind event sparked an outcry.More than 6,000 artists protested that the AI models had been trained on copyrighted images without their permission.While the auction house had argued that the works demonstrated "human agency in the age of AI,"critics saw the event as an example of an industry rushing to commercialize technology built on unpaid creative labor. A viewer's comfort with AI art depends on how much they know about how it's made.AI's rapid proliferation into art has started to expose a gap between what the technology is and what people know about it.Past research shows people rate AI art lower in creativity,value and emotional depth.But I wondered whether knowledge about AI shapes people's judgments and explains the bias (against it.To investigate,my colleagues and I conducted three experiments of 100 participants each. In the first experiment,when people knew how the AI system operated,they perceived the AI art images as less morally acceptable,especially when the creation of these images involved financial gain and artistic recognition.But the artistic appeal of the images did not change,suggesting that learning how AI works made people reflect on ethics,not beauty.Psychologists have found that cues such as success or fame can lead people to see something as more morally good.But we were surprised to find in the second experiment that sharing a work's success like being exhibited,sold or praised did not improve the moral acceptability of these images.In a final experiment,we worked with people who had not been given any additional education on AI to try to get a sense of what the average person might think.We found no strong automatic tendency to see al or human art as better or worse by nature. Overall,when people know how AI works,they become more careful in judging its moral faimess.This suggests that educating audiences,artists and policy makers about how technology works could shape the future of the technology in the art world. Artists working with AI tools can help in this effort by sharing information about the 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第8页（共12页） models,data or instructions that they used and clarifying where their own human hand guided the process.Although such openness may lead to criticism,it may also build credibility and equip people with the tools to think critically about technology 31.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A.The argument about AI-generated art. B.The sale of the first-of-its-kind event. C.The achievement of Christie's auction. D.The tech built on unpaid creative labor. 32.What does the word "proliferation"underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Change. B.Decrease. C.Spread. D.Recovery. 33.What does the author mainly do in this passage? A.Illustrate a point. B.Analyze an event. C.Clarify an approach. D.Make a comparison. 34.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.People Who Know Less About AI Art Have More Biases B.People Who Know More About AI Art Find It Less Ethical C.People Who Know More About AI Art Show More Openness D.People.Who Know Less About AI Art Assess It More Critically 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并 在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Social media algorithms (are tools tech companies use in our daily apps, games and websites.They show you content you enjoy so that you spend more time on their sites.35 If you're not aware of how they work,what starts out as a fun way to be with friends online can negatively affect your mental health. You might think the algorithm knows you really well,but the reality is it reflects your scrolling behaviours,not who you are as a person.36 The purpose of the algonthm is to keep you online as much as possible so that your data can be collected and sold to companies. 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第9页（共12页） The algorithm grabs your attention in numerous ways.Humans naturally seek connection and proof from others,so each time you receive a like or a friendly comment an your posts,it releases a chemical in your brain called dopamine that gives you a happy feeling.37 Algorithms also operate by drawing people into echo chambers (where they hear opinions that are similar to their own.This can strengthen beliefs,because no one is offering a different opinion. 38 A study of 14-year-olds found that greater social media use was correlated with poorer sleep,online worry,poor body image,low self-esteem ( and higher depression. If you are on social media then there are ways to reduce the negative effects. 89 From time to time,stop and ask yourself,do you really want to look.at this? Besides,don't engage with content unless you really need to.This keeps a healthy distance between you and the algorithm. A.And it doesn't have your best interests at heart. B.But in doing so,algorithms can influence your thinking. C.Notice the mood that attracts you to keep scrolling or click. D.Algorithms give teens an accurate mirror image of themselves. E The result of this kind of mental control can be poor mental health. F.An algorithm is a set of rules or processes designed to solve a problem. G.But these highs can be followed with a low that leaves you longing more. 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域 作答。 Sarah was delivering a project presentation for her company when she forgot a key slide.She tripped over her words,and noticed her team's disappointed expressions."I'm such a fool,"she thought."I've been in this role for years,and I still can't get a presentation right.I don't deserve this job."When she reached 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第10页（共12页） back to her desk after the presentation,Sarah,in tears,felt ashamed and discouraged. Halfway through her breakdown,Sarah paused.She remembered something she had learned earlier about self-compassion-the practice of treating ourselves with the same warmth,understanding,and forgiveness we would offer a good friend.She asked herself,"What would I say to a friend who was going through this?"The answer,based on self-compassion,certainly would be,"It's okay.Everyone makes mistakes.You tried your best,and that's enough.This one moment doesn't define you or your abilities.Let's figure out what we can learn from this and move forward. The next day,she scheduled a meeting with her team to apologize for the misstep and share her plan for improvement.To her surprise,her team responded with empathy(共情)and support.. Sarah's experience is not unique.Research by Dr.Kristin Neff,a leading expert on self-compassion,shows that people who practice self-compassion are more resilient (韧性的)，less likely to exporionoo anxiety and depression,and more motivated to improve themselves.Why?Because self-compassion starts the parasympathetic )nervous system,calming our stress response and allowing us to approach challenges with curiosity and courage rather than fear and shame. So the next time you find yourself struggling,take a moment to pause.Breathe. Do the same thing just as Sarah did.Then,you'll be surprised by how much strength, resilience,and joy you can find in that simple act. 40.How did Sarah feel after the presentation? 41.What does self-compassion refer to? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >People who practice self-compassion are more resilient because.it allows them to approach challenges with fear and shame. 43.How do you put self-compassion into practice in your life?(In about 40 words) 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第11页（共12页） 第二节(20分) 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你的外国好友Jim发来邮件与你探讨关 于未来职业选择的问题。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.你的选择及原因； 2.你将如何做准备。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua (请务必将答案答在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效) 顺义一中教育集团高二英语试卷第12页（共12页）
