B The Silent Scream of Midway:A Tragedy in Plastic On the lonely shores of Midway Atoll,far from any continent,wildlife photographer Chris Jordan found a scene that would stay in his mind forever.He had originally come to this remote island to take photos of the large Laysan Albatross,a seabird that is a beautiful symbol of freedom. However,instead of finding life,he found a sad truth that was easy to see-a heartbreaking sign of how careless humans can be. These wonderful birds travel thousands of miles across the ocean with great skill.But now,they are falling victim to a modern trick.They mistake our floating trash-such as colorful bottle caps, old lighters,and sharp toy pieces-for food.Tragically,when the parent birds return to their nests, they unknowingly feed a deadly mix of plastic to their hungry chicks. Filled with sadness and the need to act,Jordan refused to just watch this happen.He started a moving project titled"Midway:Message from the Gyre ().He carefully removed the plastic waste from the bodies of the dead chicks.Then,he arranged the colorful trash into art pieces that looked just like the birds themselves. 高二英语试题第2页（共10页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap It is a cruel irony that these birds hunt by smell,not by sight.They are fooled by plastic that smells like the ocean.As a result,the chicks die of hunger or internal injuries,their stomachs full of plastic that cannot be digested.Jordan's powerful images have since spread around the world.They force viewers to see the direct link between their daily habits and the death of innocent animals thousands of miles away. "One chick contained 23 lighters,19 bottle caps,and over Section A plastic pieces,"Jordan writes."I wanted people to look at the beauty of the bird and the ugliness of the trash at the same time.It is not about blaming anyone;it is about waking everyone up."Today,these images serve as a powerful,silent scream from the ocean,reminding us that when we throw away our waste,there is no such place as "away"-there is only the world we all share,and the innocent lives that pay the price for our convenience. 24.What did Jordan do with the plastic found in the dead chicks? A.He turned it into bird-shaped art. B.He sent it to a recycling center. C.He buried it back into the sand. D.He displayed it in a museum case. 25.Why do the Albatrosses mistake plastic for food? A.The plastic looks exactly like fish. B.Parent birds are trained to collect it. C.The birds have poor eyesight. D.The plastic absorbs ocean scents. 26.What is the main purpose of Jordan's project? A.To win international photography awards. B.To raise awareness of human behavior. C.To blame manufacturers for plastic waste. D.To prove Albatrosses can't adapt to nature. 27.What does the author imply by stating the underlined sentence? A.There is no space left to dump our garbage. B.Midway Atoll is the only polluted place on earth. C.We cannot escape the consequences of our actions. D.The ocean is too far away to be protected. C Claims that artificial intelligence (AI)borders on human intelligence have become commonplace.Some believe that rapid advances in large language models that signal 高二英语试题第3页（共10项） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap "super-intelligence"will fundamentally reshape socicty.However.this comparison misses something essential about what human intelligence is. Research shows that human intelligence emerges from processes like shared language.cultural communication,cooperation and progressive learning across generations.A[systems.by contrast. do not cooperate or form social bonds.They process information separately.responding to prompts without awareness,intention or responsibility. Human intelligence is also concrete.Our thinking is shaped by physical experience.emotion and social interaction,which ground abstract reasoning later in life.AI lacks this grounding. Language models leamn statistical patterns from text,not meaning from lived experience.They do not understand concepts in the way humans do. Advocates of Al progress often point to the vast amounts of data used to train modern systems. Yet this data represents a remarkably narrow section of humanity.Around 80%of online content is produced in just ten languages,while over 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide,with only a few hundred represented online.Training Al on such data set means baking in the perspectives, assumptions and biases of a relatively small portion of the world's population.Human intelligence, by contrast,is defined by diversity.Eight billion people contribute to a shared mental landscape.Al does not have access to this richness,nor can it generate it independently.The data on which it is trained comes from a highly biased sample. None of this is to deny that AI systems are powerful tools.Used carefully and with oversight, they can be socially beneficial.But usefulness is not the same as intelligence in the human sense.AI remains narrow and dependent on human input,evaluation and correction.It does not form intentions,participate in shared reasoning or contribute to the cultural processes that make human intelligence what it is. Until machines can participate in that social,concrete and ethical dimension of cognition- and there is no evidence they can-the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence remains more promotion than insight. 28.What can be inferred about human intelligence from paragraph 3? A.It relies entirely on statistical patterns. B.It develops independently of physical experiences C.It is deeply rooted in real-world social interactions D.It lacks the ability to understand abstract concepts. 29.Why does the author mention that 80%of online content is in ten languages? A.To highlight the narrowness of AI's training data B.To prove that Al can process vast amounts of information. C.To show the superiority of English over other languages. D.To suggest that Al should be trained on more diverse texts. 二英语试题第4页（共10页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APF 30.What is the author's attitude towards the claim that AI will beat human intelligence? A.Skeptical. B.Objective C.Approving. D.Indifferent. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.Al systems are superior to human intelligence. B.The training data for AI is highly biased. C.Language models will soon exceed human cognition. D.Human and artificial intelligence differ fundamentally. D While 5G networks are still being rolled out globally,researchers and tech companies are already looking ahead to the next generation:6G.Expected to arrive around 2030,6G promises to be a revolutionary step forward,offering much higher data speeds,nearly instant response times,and far more reliable connections than its previous generation.This could enable futuristic applications like real-time holographic(全息影像的)communication and seamless integration(无缝融合)of artificial intelligence into daily life. However,the path to 6G is not smooth.While the potential is exciting,significant technical challenges remain.One major hurdle is the need for new frcquency bands,likely in the terahertz( range.These high-frequency waves can carry vast amounts of data but have a very short range and are easily blocked by walls or even rann technologytoverme this limitation is crucial. So,how can we break through these bottlenecks?A recent roadmap issued by an interational team of scientists points to several key directions.rst it calls for the development of new materials and advanced antennas (to better send and receive terahertz signals.Second,it emphasizes the importance of smarter network management using Al to optimize performance.Finally,the report stresses that global cooperation on setting technical standards will be essential for 6G to succeed cverywhere. The jourey toward 6G is a complex global efort.It's not just about faster Intemet:it's about building a new digital foundation for society.By tackling today's technical hurdles through innovation and cooperation,we can unlock the full potential of this next-generation network, shaping a more connected and intelligent future. 32.What is expected of 6G in paragraph 1? A.It will completely replace 5G by 2030. B.It will integrate AI without delay. C.It has been rolled out in futuristic areas. D.It will offer faster and more stable connections 高二英语试题第5页（共0项） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp 33.What can be inferred about terahertz waves from paragraph 2? A.They require less data capacity B.They are immune to weather conditions. C.Their physical limitations limit 6G development. D.They have extremely long transmission ranges. 34.Why does the roadmap emphasize global cooperation on technical standards? A.To replace existing Al systems. B.To ensure the universal success of 6G. C.To reduce the cost of new antennas. D.To restrict holographic communication. 35.What does the author imply about the future of 6G in the last paragraph? A.It is merely a theoretical concept. B.It has already replaced 5G globally. C.It will simply focus on faster Internet. D.Its realization depends on collective efforts. 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。 Practical Methods to Improveoaily Communication Have you ever argued with your family or friends just because you failed to express yourself well?36 It helps us clear up misunderstandings,build close relationships and settle disagreements peacefully.The following practical ways can help you improve your communication skills step by step. Before talking to others,take a minute to sort out your core ideas.It's wise to pick two or three key points for your talk.When you get off track,these key points can bring you back easily.You can write down your main ideas on a notebook if necessary.37 38 Speaking is only half of communication.Listening carefully matters equally.When you listen attentively,you can know whether others fully understand your ideas.If they seem confused,you can ask questions to check their thoughts and adjust your words in time. Eye contact creates trust and shows your sincerity during talks.You'd better keep natural eye contact instead of staring all the time.39 Some groups feel uncomfortable with long eye contact.Your gestures and faces send silent messages to listeners.Try to use relaxed facial expressions to show kindness and warmth.Stop negative expressions like tight lips or cold stares. 40 If you will communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds,learn related communication customs ahead of time. 高二英语试题第6页（共10页) CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp A.Communication requires both speaking and listening.

Paul,who lived in the apartment building across the street,was preparing for his college entrance exams.The pressure was overwhelming,and he often took short walks in the park to clear his mind.One morning,curiosity got the better of him.He approached the bench and sat down, keeping a polite distance. "Good moming,"the old man said,his voice gentle but firm."You're the student from Building 3,aren't you?I've seen you studying by the window late at night." Paul nodded,surprised."Yes,sir.I'm Paul.I'm preparing for American College Testing (ACD)." Theold man smiled,his weathered face shining with warmth despite the deep scar on it. 而二英语试漫第9项（共10页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App Over the following days,a quiet friendship developed.Mr.Smith shared stories of his years as a fireman and how he had got the scar in a rescue.Paul found himself looking forward to these morning conversations.They became his anchor in the storm of exam preparation. But not everyone in the neighborhood appreciated Mr.Smith's presence.Mrs.Green,the chairwoman of the residents'committee,had begun to complain."He sits there all day,"she told Paul one evening."The bench is for everyone,not just one person.And those pigeons make a mess. Some residents want him removed."Paul felt a knot tighten in his stomach.He knew Mr.Smith had nowhere else to go-his wife had passed away two years ago,and his only son worked abroad.The park bench was his connection to the world. The next morning,he saw a notice posted on the door of the committee office.It read,"Public Meeting:Park Bench Usage-Monday,6 p.m."He knew he had to do something,but what could one student do against the organized opinion of the neighborhood? The weekend passed in a blur of anxiety.He spent the entire day thinking,planning,and finally, he knew what he had to do. 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。 At exactly the appointed time,Paul walked into the community meeting room.
