B At 24,Carina Hong founded an AI company called Axiom Math.With its unique technical ideas and clear development goals,the company has changed traditional views in the Silicon Valley investment capital circle. Born in Guangzhou in 2001,Hong came from a family where neither parent had received higher education. She grew up like other kids,and showed no special talent until she started learning Olympiad mathematics in junior high school-this unlocked her potential and surprised everyone. In high school,Hong was selected into Guangdong Provincial Olympiad Mathematics Team,and in 2018,she entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)with excellent results.She double-majored in Maths and Physics,completed over 20 advanced courses,and served as president of student organisations to help international students.Later,she won the Rhodes Scholarship to study Neuroscience at Oxford,and then pursued two doctoral degrees at Stanford while offering legal aid to low-income people. During this period,Hong focused on the combination of AI and mathematics.Noticing Al's big shortcomings in mathematical reasoning,she founded Axiom Math,whose core idea is to transform English mathematical content from textbooks,papers and journals into programmable knowledge.This allows AI to not only solve complex mathematical problems but also confirm solutions through strict validation )Axiom Math's goal is to develop 第3页共9页 a real"AI Mathematician"with logical reasoning ability,and Hong even hopes that"AI mathematicians"will put forward brand-new mathematical conjectures (in the future.With her good academic reputation and clear technical goals,she attracted many top talents to Axiom Math. Carina Hong's story is one of vision and commitment.Built on solid academic training and driven by a clear goal-to give AI true mathematical reasoning ability-she is leading Axiom Math toward a future where machines and mathematicians work side by side. 24.What awakened Carina Hong's potential in her youth? A.Learning Olympiad maths. B.Her ambition to study at MIT. C.Helping international students. D.Her parents'educational background. 25.What can we infer about Carina Hong from the text A.She focuses on earning academic titles. B.She is academically and socially excellent. C.She owes her success to her family's support. D.She plans to leave the tech industry for legal work. 26.Why did Carina Hong set up Axiom Math? A.To offer legal aid to the poor. B.To train more AI professionals. C.To change views in the capital circle. D.To develop an AI with reasoning skills. 27.What is the best title of the text? A.A Rhodes Scholar's Academic Journey B.The Founding of a Silicon Valley Startup C.From Olympiad Maths to AI Mathematician D.Axiom Math Redefining Artificial Intelligence In the Great Library of Alexandria,scholars once guarded scrolls (containing the wisdom of the ancient world.Today,the Library of Congress houses more than 40 million books;the British Library,over 170 million items.Yet for most of human history,books were rare treasures-hand-copied,expensive,and easily lost to fire. flood,or carelessness.The story of libraries is not merely one of buildings and books,but of how civilizations have preserved,organized,and sometimes destroyed their collective memory. The idea of a library as we know is surprisingly modern.For centuries,collections of books belonged to kings, churches,or wealthy individuals.The idea that ordinary people should have free access to knowledge-public libraries-did not gain widespread acceptance until the 19th century.In The Library:A Fragile History,Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen track this remarkable transformation from the scrolls of the ancient past to the digital libraries of today. Appropriately,the book opens not with grand architecture,but with the humble book tradesman.The authors spent years researching records across Europe,finding out how books were made,sold,stolen,and saved.They began with houses of God in the Middle Ages,where religious male members copied handwritten old books by candlelight,and moved through the Gutenberg revolution,when printed books suddenly became available to anyone who could afford them.Why did some collections survive while others vanished?This question drove their story forward. In this book,the authors examine three crucial stages in library history:the age of private collections,the rise of public libraries,and the current digital transformation.These stages mirror shifting ideas about who deserves access to knowledge.Since the authors began their research,the potential dangers have only grown higher:between 第4页共9页 2000 and 2020,more than half of all public libraries in some countries closed their doors,even as digital books became more widely available than ever before. 28.What does the author point out at the beginning of the text? A.Libraries are declining worldwide. B.Books used to be rare and valuable C.The Library of Congress is the largest. D.Ancient libraries were better than modern ones. 29.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.How public libraries developed. B.Why the book is worth reading. C.When the first library was built. D.Who wrote The Library:A Fragile History. 30.What does the underlined word"vanished"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Spread. B.Disappeared. C.Increased. D.Changed. 31.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A.To explain how libraries are organized. B.To compare ancient and modern libraries. C.To encourage people to read more books. D.To introduce a book about library history. D Many people visit PacSci's Tropical Butterfly House in Seattle just for fun,but few know its deep environmental message:all living creatures have natural creativity to adapt to changing surroundings,and humans should respect,protect wildlife and build balanced habitats for them. Seattle has cold weather,totally different from tropical butterflies'natural homes.Scientists create a small human-controlled tropical ecosystem to keep butterflies alive.They control temperature,humidity and light to fight the cold local climate.Even so,the butterflies and plants'own ability to survive matters most.Plants adjust water intake under human care;butterflies follow light cycles to live normally.This shows clearly that wild animals are born with strong adaptability. Another exhibit called Wild Creativity in an exhibition explains this rule further.Wild plants and animals develop special skills to survive environmental changes.Butterflies feed and rest on certain tropical plants,while they help plants pollinate ()The two depend on each other,forming a balanced cycle.This interdependence is the"wild creativity formed by nature over thousands of years. Some visitors say building such a man-made tropical room wastes money and energy,and wildlife should live in the wild.However,they miss two important values of the butterfly house.First,all butterflies here are bred by eco-farms instead of being caught in the wild,so wild tropical butterfly groups won't be harmed.Second,it acts as a living classroom.People living in cities far from rainforests can watch tropical animals closely and raise their environmental awareness. Running the butterfly house takes long-term work:taking care of plants with seasons,keeping stable climate all year and working with zoos and greenhouses.Public donations help cover high running costs.The long success of the house tells us:human intervention()does not mean destroying nature.If we follow conservation ideas, human wisdom can create safe temporary homes for wild animals and spread environmental protection knowledge. The natural adaptability of wildlife guides humans to protect nature.The butterfly house is more than a tourist spot.It reminds us that humans and wild animals can live in peace with proper creative efforts. 32.What is the main idea conveyed through the butterfly house? A.Tropical butterflies are beautiful to watch. B.Seattle's cold weather is bad for tropical plants. C.The butterfly house costs lots of money to build. D.Wild creatures can naturally adapt to environmental changes. 第5页共9页 33.What do we know about the butterflies in PacSci's exhibition? A.They are captured from wild rainforests. B.They coexist with wild pollination plants. C.They can be harmed with people visiting them frequently D.They cannot adapt to the man-made light cycle in the house. 34.What is the author's attitude toward people against the butterfly house? A.Neutral. B.Supportive. C.Disapproving. D.Indifferent. 35.What's the value of the Tropical Butterfly House according to the text? A.It only offers nice sightseeing. B.It takes the place of natural wild habitats. C.It reduces costs by ending cooperation with botanical partners. D.It combines wildlife protection with environmental education. 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。 How to Develop a Lifelong Reading Habit Nowadays,a large number of high school students spend most of their spare time on digital products.They scroll through short videos for hours without thinking.36 Reading,however,can bring long-term benefits that screens cannot offer.Here are practical tips to build a steady reading habit. Pick suitable light reading instead of heavy academic works at the beginning.Many students give up reading quickly because they choose books full of complex theories.Actually,travel journals,biographies of ordinary people and popular science essays are all perfect choices.37 38 A fixed reading time helps your brain form a routine.You can read for 20 minutes before going to bed or after finishing homework.Even short daily reading adds up to huge progress over months.Do not wait for long free periods to read. Take simple notes while reading.You don't have to write long reviews.Write down impressive sentences or new words you meet.39 This small habit strengthens your memory and improves your writing ability little by little. Share your reading thoughts with classmates or family.Talking about stories you've read lets you see things from different views.40 Once reading becomes a social pleasure,you will never treat it as a boring task. Reading is a lifelong journey.Stick to it,and you will find yourself growing quietly day by day. A.Read as much as possible. B.Set a daily fixed reading time. C.You can review these notes whenever you have time. D.They enrich your knowledge without making you tired. E.It also deepens your understanding of the books you read.

Yours. Li Hua 第二节(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。 Liam used to be the most promising short-distance runner in the national team.Every time he ran across the finish line,thunderous applause swept the stadium,and running had long been the whole meaning of his life.Yet a terrible ankle injury in a training accident ruined everything.Doctors told him he could never run competitively again.Overnight,the bright future he had dreamed of crashed completely. At first,Liam locked himself indoors.He dared not pass the training track,for every sight of athletes running brought sharp pain of loss.Trapped in endless emptiness,he sank into low spirits for nearly a year.He lost all confidence,convinced that without running,he was worthless.All attempts to pick up new hobbies ended in failure, leaving him buried in self-pity. One rainy afternoon,wandering around a community park aimlessly,he spotted an old man tending a small plot of herbs.An article about gardening as a form of healing he once glanced at suddenly crossed his mind.Could taking care of plants fill the empty space left by track sports?Doubtful yet curious,he bought several herb seedlings the next day. He placed the pots on his windowsill ()still filled with uncertainty.The moment his fingers touched soft wet soil,unexpected calm wrapped around him.The faint grass scent reminded him of the training field.This time, there was no intense competition or tight deadlines,only quiet warmth and slow recovery.Day after day,he grew attached to watching the little buds()stretch upward as he cared for his plants patiently. 注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As greenery covered his windowsill,the weight in Lian's chest slowly faded 第8页共9页 Inspired by his own healing experience,Liam set up a gardening program for other injured athletes 第9页共9页 沈阳二中2025一一2026学年度下学期期末考试 高一(28届)英语试题答案 听力:1一5 BBACA 6-10 BBACA 11-15AABCB 1620 CCABC 阅读:21-23ACB24-27ABDC28-31BABD32-35DBCD 七选五36-40 FDBCE 完型:41-45 CBABC46-50 ABDCB 51-55 CDAAD 语法填空: 56.has become 57.social 58.potatoes 59.who 60.willingly 61.a 62.compared 63.in 64.spreading 65.its 应用文: Dear Jim, How is everything going?I'm writing to share a fantastic city walk activity launched by our school last week. We roamed the ancient downtown lanes,appreciating time-honored architectures and characteristic local snack stores.Our instructor introduced the city's profound history along the route.The most memorable moment was that I captured plenty of shots of traditional constructions and sampled distinctive local snacks. This activity brought me tremendous rewards.Not only did I gain a deeper insight into my city's splendid culture,but it also served as an effective relief from heavy academic pressure. Furthermore,the journey strengthened the bond between my classmates and me. Hope you can come to my city and I'll definitely be a good guide and show you around. Looking forward to your visit. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写: 参考答案: As greenery covered his windowsill,the weight in Liam's chest slowly faded.He gradually walked out of the shadow of his injury and stopped being buried in self-pity.Instead of avoiding tracks and sports news,he could calmly watch athletes compete on the field.Gardening taught that true growth was gradual and persistent,not just instant glory.When he watched seeds bloom step by step,he realized life still held warmth beyond running.He recorded his feelings of healing in notes,writing down how plants cured his broken heart and restored his courage to embrace life. Inspired by his own healing experience,Liam set up a gardening program for other injured athletes.He transformed a plot of land near his neighborhood into a shared garden space,where he patiently prepared various plant seedlings and gardening tools.The injured athletes visited the garden,watering plants together and talking about their pains.Liam sincerely shared his tough recovery story.Deeply motivated by Liam's healing journey,many athletes slowly walked out of despair,finding new peace in planting.Liam finally found his new life mission:instead of racing for medals,he helped broken athletes rebuild hope and restart their lives. y 听力原文: Text1寻找物品 W:Jason,are you looking for something?

Everything changed when Convoy of Hope's Women's Empowerment program reached her community.19The program gave her an opportunity to go out to work.And she moved to a tourist area near the Maasai Mara National Park,where visitors from around the world come to experience Kenya's culture and wildlife.In just a few months,Tome went from earning nothing to making a profit each month.19Today,she has increased her profits by 400%by selling her works to tourists from other countries.With the profits,she's purchased four goats and four sheep,giving her family additional sources of food and income.She has also trained nine other women,sharing not only her skills but also her business knowledge. Tome has also learned the importance of planning her money.Before joining the program, she had never had extra money to save.Now,she sets aside part of her earnings each month. 20She dreams of using her savings to grow her business and help even more women start their own.
