But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest, stretching across nearly 2 million acres between Phoenix and Flagstaff. How to Get There Getting there is easy. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drive 1.5 hours north via Interstate 17. Or fly to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, served by American Airlines with daily flights from Phoenix, Dallas, and Los Angeles. From there, the forest is just a 20-minute drive. About the Forest Named after the Cohonina people, the forest was designated a national forest by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. Today, its three districts protect 10 wilderness areas home to elk, mule deer, mountain lions, and bobcats. Hiking Information Trails: 482 trails extending hundreds of miles Pass Required: 1. Red Rock Pass: $5 per day (for individuals only) 2. All-Inclusive Annual Pass: $80 (for individuals and families) Top Trails: Devil’s Bridge Trail: 3.9-mile out-and-back hike to a huge sandstone arch. Kachina Peaks Trail: 9.6-mile hike to Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), Arizona’s highest point. Grand Canyon view available on clear days from Humphreys Peak. Stay Options The forest has 24 campsites and 4 cabins. Clints Well Campground charges $8 per night and stays open year-round. If you prefer a roof, hotels in Flagstaff or Sedona Views Bed and Breakfast (11.2 miles away) are good choices. 1. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To describe various Forest wildlife. B. To explain how to get a hiking pass. C. To introduce a less crowded scenic spot. D. To compare the Grand Canyon with Coconino. 2. What is the budget-friendly pass option for a family of four hiking for 3 days? A. Four Red Rock Passes. B. Twelve Red Rock Passes. C. One All-Inclusive Annual Pass. D. Four All-Inclusive Annual Passes. 3. What can be learned about Humphreys Peak? A. It is an easy hike for beginners. B. It is located inside the Grand Canyon. C. It is the most popular trail in the forest. D. It is higher than any other mountain in Arizona. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一处人少景美的科科尼诺国家森林及游玩相关信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段中“The Grand Canyon welcomed 4.9 million visitors in 2024. But there is somewhere equally breathtaking with far fewer crowds. It’s called Coconino National Forest.(大峡谷在2024年迎来了490万游客。但有一个同样令人叹为观止且人少得多的地方。它叫科科尼诺国家森林。)”可知，文章主要目的是介绍这个人少的景点。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Pass Required中“Red Rock Pass: $5 per day(for individuals only)(红石通行证：每天5美元，仅限个人)”和“All-Inclusive Annual Pass: $80 (for individuals and families)(全包年票：80美元，适用于个人和家庭)”可知，四口之家徒步3天：若买红石通行证，需4人×3天=12张，共12×5=60美元；若买全包年票需80美元。60美元<80美元，故12张红石通行证最划算。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Top Trails:中“Kachina Peaks Trail: 9.6-mile hike to Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), Arizona’s highest point.(卡奇纳峰步道：9.6英里徒步到汉弗莱斯峰（12633英尺），亚利桑那州的最高点。)”可知，汉弗莱斯峰是亚利桑那州最高峰，即比该州任何其他山都高。 B The lives of Opira Bosco Okot and his family have been heavily affected by climate change. Now, he is working hard with other young people to take actions to fight it. Opira is a refugee (难民). In 2017, his village became uninhabitable due to repeated floods and droughts caused by climate change. He ran and walked barefoot for days, eventually crossing the border into Uganda and arriving at the Palabek Refugee Settlement, which is a place for refugees to live in. There, he was given a small piece of land on which he could build a shelter and make a living by farming. However, climate change is causing temperature rises and unpredictable rainfall in Uganda, affecting how much food farmers can produce. In Opira’s home country, the situation is almost the same. People have also struggled with floods and droughts which affect farming very much. Many are now escaping due to the natural disasters in different parts of the country. Some of Opira’s relatives who had returned to their home country are now returning to Uganda because they could no longer grow their crops. In Uganda, Opira has set up an organization called The Leads to respond to the pressing needs of their community. As well as supporting refugee children and youth to stay in school, they are teaching children how they can play a role in protecting the environment, training the community on how to make improved mud stoves that use less charcoal (木炭), and leading tree planting. Now, everyone is aware of the benefits of trees. “I am strongly motivated by the climate reality in my home country and Uganda,” Opira says. “This is why I find it so important to devote to climate activism to reverse (扭转) the natural disasters. I know my actions will count.” 4. For what reason did Opira leave his village? A. Change of climate. B. Lack of shelter. C. Flood and disease. D. Drought and fire. 5. What is affected most according to Paragraph 3? A. Transportation. B. Education. C. Farming. D. Health. 6. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The fight of Uganda. B. The skill of cooking. C. The work of The Leads. D. The method of tree-planting. 7. What kind of person is Opira? A. Outgoing and talented. B. Experienced and creative. C. Hardworking and humorous. D. Determined and responsible. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了难民Opira因气候灾难逃离家乡后，在乌干达成立环保组织The Leads，通过教育、节能技术和植树行动对抗气候变化的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2017, his village became uninhabitable due to repeated floods and droughts caused by climate change. (2017年，由于气候变化引发的反复洪水和干旱，他的村庄变得无法居住)”可知，Opira离开村庄是因为气候变化。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, climate change is causing temperature rises and unpredictable rainfall in Uganda, affecting how much food farmers can produce. People have also struggled with floods and droughts which affect farming very much. (然而，气候变化正在导致乌干达气温升高、降雨变得难以预测，影响了农民能够生产的粮食数量。人们还饱受洪水和干旱的困扰，这对农业影响极大)”和“Some of Opira’s relatives who had returned to their home country are now returning to Uganda because they could no longer grow their crops. (Opira的一些曾返回祖国的亲戚，如今因为无法继续种植农作物而再度回到乌干达)”可知，农业受到的影响最大。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“In Uganda, Opira has set up an organization called The Leads to respond to the pressing needs of their community. As well as supporting refugee children and youth to stay in school, they are teaching children how they can play a role in protecting the environment, training the community on how to make improved mud stoves that use less charcoal (木炭), and leading tree planting. (在乌干达，Opira成立了一个名为“The Leads”的组织，致力于满足当地社区的迫切需求。该组织不仅帮助难民儿童和青少年继续学业，还教导孩子们如何在环境保护中发挥作用，培训社区居民制作更节能的改良泥炉，减少木炭使用量，并组织开展植树活动)”可知，该段聚焦The Leads组织开展的各项工作。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In Uganda, Opira has set up an organization called The Leads to respond to the pressing needs of their community. (在乌干达，Opira成立了一个名为“The Leads”的组织，致力于满足当地社区的迫切需求)”和最后一段““I am strongly motivated by the climate reality in my home country and Uganda,” Opira says. “This is why I find it so important to devote to climate activism to reverse (扭转) the natural disasters. I know my actions will count.” (Opira表示：“祖国和乌干达的气候现状让我深感责任重大。正因如此，我认为投身气候行动、逆转自然灾害至关重要。我坚信，我的行动必将产生实际影响。”)”可知，Opira成立The Leads对抗气候变化，造福当地社区，并深信自己行动的实际影响，这表明他是坚定且负责任的。故选D项。 C Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf, but road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred networking way for modern professionals. A growing number of corporate-sponsored charity bike rides and city cycle clubs are providing ideal opportunities to talk shop with like-minded workmates and clients while discussing different bike frames. Many believe cycling is better than golf for building lasting working relationships or landing a new job because it is less competitive. Peter Murray, a former architect, explains: “When you play golf with somebody, you have to decide if you’re going to beat them, or let them beat you. If they’re a client and you don’t want to beat them, you have to sort of cheat to lose. That’s not a good way.” Group cycling, especially long-distance riding, is a shared experience where riders work together, taking turns at the front to help others save almost a third of the effort. A keen long-distance rider, Murray founded the annual Cycle to Cannes in 2005 — a six-day charity event where architects cycle 1,500 km from London to the MIPIM property fair in France each March, having raised £ 4.5m for charities. Jean-Jacques Lorraine, a regular participant, says cycling reveals character: “Conversations flow easily. I often say things I wouldn’t normally, and others share things with me unexpectedly. Some riders are single-minded, others cooperative; some plan cleverly, others an open book.” Simon Mottram, CEO of Rapha, notes long- distance cycling lifts mood, focusing on riding and companions. “The rhythm of fuelling, riding, celebrating eases life’s stresses.” Unlike quick post-work meals, long rides allow deeper connections and break the gap between higher and lower positions: “A younger rider might help a CEO, changing their off-ride relationship.” Perhaps the most compelling reason why cycling is a good way to network is that, for many professionals, it’s a passion and a way of life they share. “It’s what we dream of while at our computers,” Mottram adds. 8. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A. Staff discuss frames more than work. B. Cycling becomes a professional social hit. C. Corporate charities center on cycling. D. Golf was a popular networking method. 9. What is the main purpose of the annual Cycle to Cannes? A. To promote architects’ competition. B. To collect money for charitable causes. C. To popularize long- distance cycling. D. To display various bike frames at a fair. 10. Why does Jean-Jacques Lorraine favor cycling for networking? A. It saves effort in long trips. B. It is a shared passion for many. C. It lifts mood and eases stress. D. It shows character and eases talks. 11. What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Outdated. B. Similar. C. Convincing. D. Disturbing. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出公路骑行正取代高尔夫成现代职场人首选社交方式，介绍相关活动，借多人观点说明骑行因竞争性低、显性格等更利于职场社交。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf, but road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred networking way for modern professionals. A growing number of corporate-sponsored charity bike rides and city cycle clubs are providing ideal opportunities to talk shop with like-minded workmates and clients while discussing different bike frames. Many believe cycling is better than golf for building lasting working relationships or landing a new job because it is less competitive. (传统上，商业伙伴会通过打一轮高尔夫球来了解彼此，但公路自行车正迅速赶上，成为现代专业人士首选的社交方式。越来越多的公司赞助的慈善自行车骑行和城市自行车俱乐部提供了与志同道合的同事和客户讨论不同自行车框架的理想机会。许多人认为，在建立持久的工作关系或找到一份新工作方面，骑自行车比打高尔夫更好，因为它的竞争更少。)”可知，第一段第一句指出传统上商务伙伴通过打高尔夫相互了解，但公路骑行正迅速成为现代专业人士首选的社交方式。接着提到越来越多企业赞助的慈善骑行活动和城市自行车俱乐部为专业人士提供了与志同道合的同事和客户交流业务的理想机会。所以整段主要讲述的是骑行成为专业社交的热门方式。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A keen long-distance rider, Murray founded the annual Cycle to Cannes in 2005 — a six-day charity event where architects cycle 1,500 km from London to the MIPIM property fair in France each March, having raised £ 4.5m for charities. (作为一名热衷长途骑行的人，穆雷于2005年创立了一年一度的“自行车到戛纳”慈善活动——这是一项为期6天的慈善活动，建筑师们每年3月从伦敦骑车1500公里到法国MIPIM房地产博览会，为慈善机构筹集了450万英镑。)”可知，这是一个慈善活动，已经为慈善机构筹集了 450 万英镑，所以该活动的主要目的是为慈善事业筹款。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Jean-Jacques Lorraine, a regular participant, says cycling reveals character: “Conversations flow easily. I often say things I wouldn’t normally, and others share things with me unexpectedly. Some riders are single-minded, others cooperative; some plan cleverly, others an open book.” (让-雅克•洛林是自行车运动的常客，他表示，骑车可以揭示性格：“交谈很轻松。我经常说一些我平时不会说的话，别人也会意想不到地和我分享一些事情。有些骑手是专一的，有些是合作的；有些人计划巧妙，有些人则毫无章法。”)”可知，让-雅克•洛林认为骑行能揭示人的性格，并且对话很容易进行。所以他喜欢骑行进行社交是因为它能展示性格并使交谈轻松。故选D项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段提到“Perhaps the most… reason why cycling is a good way to network is that, for many professionals, it’s a passion and a way of life they share. (也许骑行是一种很好的社交方式的最……原因是，对于许多专业人士来说，这是他们共同的爱好和生活方式。)”结合前文讲述的骑行在社交方面的各种好处，这里应该是说最有说服力的原因，C 选项“Convincing”（有说服力的）符合语境。故选C项。 D Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it? New York City’s Department of Education banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT from school owned networks and devices, arguing that while it provides quick answers, it does not build critical thinking skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success.” However, banning AI tools from the classroom is a short-sighted response. Instead, we must find a way in which such technologies combine well with, rather than replace, student thinking. Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around it, which will cause a further defensive response from educators. It’s hard to believe that a close race between digitally fluent teenagers and their educators will end in a decisive victory for the latter. In fact, chat-bots may well speed up a trend toward valuing critical thinking. In a world where computers can fluently answer any question, students — and the rest of us — need to learn to ask better questions and critically evaluate AI-generated responses. The key challenge is ensuring students still engage in deep thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT and similar AI technology can help with those tasks, but they can’t — at least in the near future — put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and authentically good writing is authentically good thinking. One approach is to focus on the process as much as the end result. For instạnce, teachers might require — and assess — four drafts of an essay. After all, as John McPhee, the famous writer, said, “The essence of the process is revision.” Each draft gets feedback from the teacher, from peers or even from a chatbot. Then the students produce the next draft, and so on. Will AI one day outperform human beings not just in knowing but in thinking? Maybe, but for now, we must think for ourselves. Like any tool, GPT is an enemy of thinking only if we fail to find ways to make it our partner. 12. How does the author feel about the ban? A. Favourable. B. Irresponsible. C. Unwise. D. Necessary. 13. Why is it impossible to ban ChatGPT in practice? A. Because students will likely find solutions. B. Because people treasure critical thinking. C. Because ChatGPT will keep developing. D. Because schools will defend the ban. 14. How does the author explain his idea in Paragraph 4? A. By quoting others. B. By presenting figures. C. By giving examples. D. By showing similarities. 15. What might be the best title of the text? A. Is GPT a process or a result? B. Will GPT outperform students? C. Are chatbots becoming a new trend? D. Will chatbots destroy education? 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了聊天机器人（如ChatGPT）对教育的影响，指出禁止其使用并非明智之举，而应探索如何将其与学生的思考相结合，强调了深度思考和批判性思维的重要性，并提出了通过写作过程来培养学生这些能力的方法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, banning AI tools from the classroom is a short-sighted response.(然而，禁止在课堂上使用人工智能工具是一种短视的反应。)”可知，作者认为禁止ChatGPT是不明智的。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around it, which will cause a further defensive response from educators.(实际上，禁止ChatGPT是不可能的。学生们会找到解决办法，这将引起教育者的进一步防御反应。)”可知，在实践中禁止ChatGPT是不可能的，因为学生们很可能会找到解决办法。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The key challenge is ensuring students still engage in deep thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT and similar AI technology can help with those tasks, but they can’t — at least in the near future — put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and authentically good writing is authentically good thinking.(关键的挑战是确保学生仍然进行深度思考。GPT经常生成流畅且“合理”但错误的文本。因此，使用它需要和写作一样的脑力劳动：形成观点、创建大纲、选择要解释的要点和要删除的要点，以及寻找支持事实。GPT和类似的人工智能技术可以帮助完成这些任务，但至少在不久的将来，它们无法将所有这些任务整合在一起。写一篇好文章仍然需要大量的人类思考和工作。事实上，写作就是思考，真正好的写作就是真正好的思考。)”可知，作者在第四段通过展示GPT和写作的相似性来解释他的观点。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it?(能够生成引人入胜的文章的聊天机器人会摧毁我们所知的教育吗？)”和文章接着讨论了禁止ChatGPT的不可行性、ChatGPT无法替代人类深度思考和写作过程、以及如何通过写作过程来培养学生的批判性思维和深度思考能力，由此可知，文章主要讨论了聊天机器人对教育的影响，特别是它们是否会摧毁教育，故选项D：“聊天机器人会摧毁教育吗？”最适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Celebrate Qixi Festival in Ancient China Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine’s Day (情人节), is an ancient event celebrated in China every year.

In ancient times in China, the Qixi Festival was very popular among young girls. (它在中国已有两千多年的历史，可追溯至一个浪漫的传说。在古代中国，这个节日深受年轻姑娘们的喜爱)”介绍七夕是古代年轻姑娘们的重要节日，后文列举四类具体的习俗，因此C项“There were a lot of customs prepared during Qixi (七夕节准备了许多习俗)”符合语境，承接前文，作为总起句引出后文。故选C。 【17题详解】 前文“On Qixi Day, the day when Niulang and Zhinv reunite once a year, women in ancient times would prepare a table of offerings, including tea, wine, fruits, red dates, and peanuts to pray (祈祷) to Zhinv for skillful hands.

(而新婚女子们则会祈求婚姻美满)”提到新婚女子祈求婚姻美满，因此G项“Besides, single women wish for finding a good husband in the future (此外，未婚女子还祈求未来觅得良缘)”符合语境，补充未婚女子的祈祷内容，承接前文，和后文是并列关系。故选G。 【18题详解】 后文“The most popular one was that girls threw a sewing needle into a bowl full of water on the night of Qixi as a test of embroidery skills.

(在七夕节期间，人们享受各种具有特殊意义的美味食物。人们制作并食用“巧果”，这是一种油炸的、形状各异的薄片点心。另一种受欢迎的食物是“花瓜”。一些甜点，如甜年糕和红豆汤，也很受欢迎)”列举巧果、花瓜、甜年糕、红豆汤等节日食物，空处是段落标题，应和七夕的食物相关，且需和其他段落标题形式保持一致，因此A项“Eating Qixi Festival food (食用七夕节食物)”符合语境，契合段落内容。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“Writing wishes on small pieces of paper, attaching these to colorful lanterns or paper boats and floating them downstream often signifies the lunar calendar couple’s reunion day.

Ray came from a wealthy family, while Toby’s family struggled to make ends meet. Despite their differences, the two were inseparable and shared a deep bond of friendship. They spent countless hours together, whether it was playing games after school, helping each other with homework, or simply sharing stories under the shade of the old banyan tree. On a sunny afternoon, Ray brought his precious stamp collection to school, eager to show Toby his latest treasure — a rare (稀有的) stamp gifted by his uncle. Toby, who had never seen such beautiful stamps before, stroked the stamps gently, his eyes wide with wonder. “Such an amazing collection! This rare stamp is incredible, Ray!” He exclaimed with admiration. After school, Ray packed the stamps back into his schoolbag and returned home, his heart light with the joy of sharing his passion with his best friend. However, the next morning, Ray’s joy turned to panic when he discovered that the rare stamp was missing. He tore through his room, searching every corner and every book, but the stamp was nowhere to be found. His heart sank as a troubling thought crowded his mind — Toby was the only one who had got up close and personal with the stamps. Could he have taken it? The next day at school, he confronted Toby with anger. “Did you take my stamp?” he asked directly, searching Toby’s face for any sign of guilt. Toby, shocked by his questioning, replied with mixed feelings, “No, Ray! I would never take anything that belongs to you. You’re my best friend!” But Ray, consumed by frustration and disappointment, couldn’t let go of his doubts. “You were the only one who saw it,” he said coldly. “If you hadn’t taken it, then where could it be?” Deeply hurt by Ray’s lack of trust, Toby turned away without another word, his heart heavy with the weight of the accusation (控诉). The days that followed were filled with an uncomfortable silence between the two friends. They avoided each other, the once-strong bond damaged by the loss of the stamp. 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。 One day as Ray left school, something dropped from his school uniform pocket. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Ray rushing to him, Toby was surprised. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One day as Ray left school, something dropped from his school uniform pocket. Bending down quickly, he picked it up and his eyes widened. The rare stamp he had lost was right there! His face turned red as he realized the truth that he must have forgotten to put it back in his bag after showing it to Toby. Memories of their argument rushed into his mind, and guilt was full of his chest. He had hurt his best friend without cause. Determined to fix things, Ray ran toward the banyan tree where Toby often sat, the stamp clutched tightly in his hand. Seeing Ray rushing to him, Toby was surprised. “Toby, I’m so sorry!” Ray said, out of breath and holding out the stamp. “I found it in my pocket. I shouldn’t have accused you. You were right. You’d never take anything from me.” Toby stared at the stamp, then at Ray’s red eyes. A slow smile spread across his face. “It’s okay, Ray. Friends make mistakes, but we trust each other, right?” Ray nodded, and they walked back to the banyan tree, laughing as if the silence had never existed. Their bond, once broken, was now stronger than before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了雷和托比是好朋友，家境不同却亲密无间。雷的稀有邮票丢失后，错怪了托比，两人关系陷入僵局。后来雷在自己口袋里找到邮票，才知是误会，他向托比道歉，两人重归于好，友谊比之前更深厚。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，雷放学离开学校时，从他的校服口袋里掉出了一个东西”可知，第一段可描写雷找到了丢失的邮票，才知是误会了托比。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到雷冲向自己，托比感到很惊讶”可知，第二段可描写雷向托比道歉，两人重归于好，友谊比之前更深厚。 2.续写线索：邮票掉落——意识到误会了托比——感到内疚——向托比道歉——得到原谅——友谊加深 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：determine/resolve ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③看着：stare at/look at 情绪类 ①内疚：guilt/compunction ②坚固：strong/solid 【点睛】[高分句型1] Bending down quickly, he picked it up and his eyes widened.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] His face turned red as he realized the truth that he must have forgotten to put it back in his bag after showing it to Toby.（运用了that引导同位语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山西现代双语学校联校高一年级第二学期期末考试 英语 试题 (时间: 120分钟 满分: 150分) 第一部分 听力 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后, 你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

How to Get There Getting there is easy. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drive 1.5 hours north via Interstate 17. Or fly to Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, served by American Airlines with daily flights from Phoenix, Dallas, and Los Angeles. From there, the forest is just a 20-minute drive. About the Forest Named after the Cohonina people, the forest was designated a national forest by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908.

Now, he is working hard with other young people to take actions to fight it. Opira is a refugee (难民). In 2017, his village became uninhabitable due to repeated floods and droughts caused by climate change. He ran and walked barefoot for days, eventually crossing the border into Uganda and arriving at the Palabek Refugee Settlement, which is a place for refugees to live in. There, he was given a small piece of land on which he could build a shelter and make a living by farming. However, climate change is causing temperature rises and unpredictable rainfall in Uganda, affecting how much food farmers can produce. In Opira’s home country, the situation is almost the same. People have also struggled with floods and droughts which affect farming very much. Many are now escaping due to the natural disasters in different parts of the country. Some of Opira’s relatives who had returned to their home country are now returning to Uganda because they could no longer grow their crops. In Uganda, Opira has set up an organization called The Leads to respond to the pressing needs of their community. As well as supporting refugee children and youth to stay in school, they are teaching children how they can play a role in protecting the environment, training the community on how to make improved mud stoves that use less charcoal (木炭), and leading tree planting. Now, everyone is aware of the benefits of trees. “I am strongly motivated by the climate reality in my home country and Uganda,” Opira says. “This is why I find it so important to devote to climate activism to reverse (扭转) the natural disasters. I know my actions will count.” 4. For what reason did Opira leave his village? A. Change of climate. B. Lack of shelter. C. Flood and disease. D. Drought and fire. 5. What is affected most according to Paragraph 3? A. Transportation. B. Education. C. Farming. D. Health. 6. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. The fight of Uganda. B. The skill of cooking. C. The work of The Leads. D. The method of tree-planting. 7. What kind of person is Opira? A. Outgoing and talented. B. Experienced and creative. C. Hardworking and humorous. D. Determined and responsible. C Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf, but road cycling is fast catching up as the preferred networking way for modern professionals. A growing number of corporate-sponsored charity bike rides and city cycle clubs are providing ideal opportunities to talk shop with like-minded workmates and clients while discussing different bike frames. Many believe cycling is better than golf for building lasting working relationships or landing a new job because it is less competitive. Peter Murray, a former architect, explains: “When you play golf with somebody, you have to decide if you’re going to beat them, or let them beat you. If they’re a client and you don’t want to beat them, you have to sort of cheat to lose. That’s not a good way.” Group cycling, especially long-distance riding, is a shared experience where riders work together, taking turns at the front to help others save almost a third of the effort. A keen long-distance rider, Murray founded the annual Cycle to Cannes in 2005 — a six-day charity event where architects cycle 1,500 km from London to the MIPIM property fair in France each March, having raised £ 4.5m for charities. Jean-Jacques Lorraine, a regular participant, says cycling reveals character: “Conversations flow easily. I often say things I wouldn’t normally, and others share things with me unexpectedly. Some riders are single-minded, others cooperative; some plan cleverly, others an open book.” Simon Mottram, CEO of Rapha, notes long- distance cycling lifts mood, focusing on riding and companions. “The rhythm of fuelling, riding, celebrating eases life’s stresses.” Unlike quick post-work meals, long rides allow deeper connections and break the gap between higher and lower positions: “A younger rider might help a CEO, changing their off-ride relationship.” Perhaps the most compelling reason why cycling is a good way to network is that, for many professionals, it’s a passion and a way of life they share. “It’s what we dream of while at our computers,” Mottram adds. 8. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A. Staff discuss frames more than work. B. Cycling becomes a professional social hit. C. Corporate charities center on cycling. D. Golf was a popular networking method. 9. What is the main purpose of the annual Cycle to Cannes? A. To promote architects’ competition. B. To collect money for charitable causes. C. To popularize long- distance cycling. D. To display various bike frames at a fair. 10. Why does Jean-Jacques Lorraine favor cycling for networking? A. It saves effort in long trips. B. It is a shared passion for many. C. It lifts mood and eases stress. D. It shows character and eases talks. 11. What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Outdated. B. Similar. C. Convincing. D. Disturbing. D Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it? New York City’s Department of Education banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT from school owned networks and devices, arguing that while it provides quick answers, it does not build critical thinking skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success.” However, banning AI tools from the classroom is a short-sighted response. Instead, we must find a way in which such technologies combine well with, rather than replace, student thinking. Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around it, which will cause a further defensive response from educators. It’s hard to believe that a close race between digitally fluent teenagers and their educators will end in a decisive victory for the latter. In fact, chat-bots may well speed up a trend toward valuing critical thinking. In a world where computers can fluently answer any question, students — and the rest of us — need to learn to ask better questions and critically evaluate AI-generated responses. The key challenge is ensuring students still engage in deep thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT and similar AI technology can help with those tasks, but they can’t — at least in the near future — put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and authentically good writing is authentically good thinking. One approach is to focus on the process as much as the end result. For instạnce, teachers might require — and assess — four drafts of an essay. After all, as John McPhee, the famous writer, said, “The essence of the process is revision.” Each draft gets feedback from the teacher, from peers or even from a chatbot. Then the students produce the next draft, and so on. Will AI one day outperform human beings not just in knowing but in thinking? Maybe, but for now, we must think for ourselves. Like any tool, GPT is an enemy of thinking only if we fail to find ways to make it our partner. 12. How does the author feel about the ban? A. Favourable. B. Irresponsible. C. Unwise. D.

Ray came from a wealthy family, while Toby’s family struggled to make ends meet. Despite their differences, the two were inseparable and shared a deep bond of friendship. They spent countless hours together, whether it was playing games after school, helping each other with homework, or simply sharing stories under the shade of the old banyan tree. On a sunny afternoon, Ray brought his precious stamp collection to school, eager to show Toby his latest treasure — a rare (稀有的) stamp gifted by his uncle. Toby, who had never seen such beautiful stamps before, stroked the stamps gently, his eyes wide with wonder. “Such an amazing collection! This rare stamp is incredible, Ray!” He exclaimed with admiration. After school, Ray packed the stamps back into his schoolbag and returned home, his heart light with the joy of sharing his passion with his best friend. However, the next morning, Ray’s joy turned to panic when he discovered that the rare stamp was missing. He tore through his room, searching every corner and every book, but the stamp was nowhere to be found. His heart sank as a troubling thought crowded his mind — Toby was the only one who had got up close and personal with the stamps. Could he have taken it? The next day at school, he confronted Toby with anger. “Did you take my stamp?” he asked directly, searching Toby’s face for any sign of guilt. Toby, shocked by his questioning, replied with mixed feelings, “No, Ray! I would never take anything that belongs to you. You’re my best friend!” But Ray, consumed by frustration and disappointment, couldn’t let go of his doubts. “You were the only one who saw it,” he said coldly. “If you hadn’t taken it, then where could it be?” Deeply hurt by Ray’s lack of trust, Toby turned away without another word, his heart heavy with the weight of the accusation (控诉). The days that followed were filled with an uncomfortable silence between the two friends. They avoided each other, the once-strong bond damaged by the loss of the stamp. 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。 One day as Ray left school, something dropped from his school uniform pocket. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Ray rushing to him, Toby was surprised. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
