To apply one must visit our center and fill in the application form with one passport-size photo, the birth certificate along with the $50 application fee. ★ What is the course structure? The dance course for kids is for 3.5 to 12 years, divided into three groups: Toddlers (3.5-5 years), Kids (6-8 years) and Tweens (9-12 years). For below 5 years, we teach creative movement, which is basically the pre-dance class, a way for children to explore movement through music, develop physical skills, and stimulate imagination. The advanced course includes body awareness, strength, conditioning, space awareness, expressions, and musicality. At the end of the course, all students have to appear for a performance test in the studio, where they have to demonstrate moves. Then, the kids are selected and promoted to improvers or advanced classes, depending on their skill and level of performance. Not all kids make it to the next level. ★ What are the rules? 80% attendance is required. Students have to come in uniform. Also, refer to Dance Etiquette (礼仪). ★ Are certificates provided?

A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍儿童舞蹈课程的种类、报名、分班规则及证书获取要求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中What is the course structure?部分中第二段“For below 5 years, we teach creative movement, which is basically the pre-dance class, a way for children to explore movement through music, develop physical skills, and stimulate imagination. (对于 5 岁以下的孩子，我们开设创意律动课程，这属于舞蹈启蒙课。该课程能让孩子借助音乐探索肢体动作、培养体能技能、激发想象力。)”可知，学步小孩在舞蹈课程中学习创意律动课程。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中What is the course structure?部分中第四段“At the end of the course, all students have to appear for a performance test in the studio, where they have to demonstrate moves. (在课程结束时，所有学生都必须参加在舞蹈室举行的表演测试，在测试中他们必须展示舞蹈动作。)”可知，所有学生都必须参加测试，不能因出勤率高而跳过，B项“出勤率全勤的学生可以跳过测试”是不正确的描述。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中Are certificates provided?部分中“To attain the certificate one must go to a minimum of 39 classes. (要获得证书，必须至少上39节课。)”可知，学生获得证书的要求是至少参加39节课。 B High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 4. Why was the author at a loss after high school? A. She suffered from a lack of confidence. B. She fell behind her peers in performance. C. She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D. She struggled to decide a future direction. 5. Which aspect of marketing attracted the author? A. Its business courses. B. Its exciting career opportunities. C. Its stress on technical skills. D. Its courses related to writing. 6. What led the author to think about changing her major? A. The active encouragement from a friend. B. Reduced interest in communications. C. The growing passion for marketing courses. D. Access to numerous new opportunities. 7. What does the author advise high school students to do? A. Think twice about major selection. B. Be open to changing academic paths. C. Concentrate all their efforts on study. D. Engage in self-reflection consistently. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高中毕业后选专业和大学期间更换专业的心路历程。作者通过自身经历告诉读者，大学不仅是学术学习场所，更是个人探索和自我发现的舞台，鼓励学生在大学期间探索和发现适合自己的道路。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. (高中结束了，我只记得被困住了。我的大多数同龄人都选择了自己的专业，有些人甚至计划了自己的职业生涯。但我仍对此感到疑惑。)”可知，作者在高中毕业后感到迷茫主要是因为她在确定未来方向上遇到了难题。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. (它将补充我的沟通学位，同时为我提供课程之外的必要商业课程。我毫不犹豫地将市场营销纳入我的学习计划，目的是利用新学到的知识来配合我的专业将为我提供的技术技能。)”可知，作者认为市场营销能够作为她传播学学位的补充，同时也能提供课程之外的必要的商业知识，也就是说市场营销对作者的吸引力主要在于它的商业课程。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. (随着时间的推移，我发现自己更喜欢营销课程而不是沟通课程，就在那时，我第一次开始考虑做出改变。)”可知，作者在大学期间发现自己更喜欢营销课程，而不是最初选择的传播学课程，这促使作者考虑转专业。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. (进入大学时，你认为自己想要一件事，但一路上发现这可能不是你的正确选择，这是完全可以的。)”以及结合作者转专业的经历及其对待转专业的态度“I couldn’t be happier about making the change (做出改变，我高兴极了)”可推断，作者建议高中生对在大学中改变初衷或者改变学术道路（转专业）持开放态度。故选B项。 C The peak of Mount Qomolangma, 8,849 meters above sea level. Chimborazo, 6,263 m; Mont Blanc, 4,806 m; Pradidali hut, at the foot of the Pala group in the Dolomites, 2,278 m. It is common practice to provide the elevation (高度) of a place. Simple readings are now readily available on our phones and wearables. But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location. The idea of sea level as a reference point for elevations has by now been around for so long as to go essentially unnoticed-we mention it without even considering what it means. That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book, I tell a story of these assumptions. Appropriately, the book took shape during a summer spent between sea and mountains. A month after visiting the French Riviera and enjoying the sandy beaches of Nice and Menton, I went hiking with friends in the Pala group. Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters (测高仪). Why did they vary ever so slightly from one instrument to the next? This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level. In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level. These stages mirror the development of human conceptions of the sea. Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993. 8. What does the author point out at the beginning of the text? A. Some mountains are getting higher. B. Data on wearables are misleading. C. The concept of elevation is relative. D. The reference point is hard to locate. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How the altimeter was invented. B. What initiated the author’s research. C. Why the digital readings varied. D. Where the author spent his holiday. 10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The book. B. The project. C. The issue. D. The development. 11. What can be the title of the book mentioned in the text? A. The Altimeter: A Must-Have B. Sea Level: A History C. Meaning of Zero: Nothing or Everything D. Mountains to Seas: Ups and Downs 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了海拔高度的相对性，以及海平面作为参考点的历史演变。作者通过个人经历引出对海平面概念的思考，并介绍了其著作中关于平均海平面历史的研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location. (但海拔必定是相对的：只有选择一个参考点，我们才能用数字表达一个物体或位置的高度。) ”可知，作者在文章开头指出海拔的概念是相对的。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters (测高仪). Why did they vary ever so slightly from one instrument to the next? This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level. (在Pradidali小屋附近的山口休息时，我们开始讨论测高仪上的读数。为什么不同仪器之间的读数略有差异？这种不确定性让我开始思考零的含义。这就是我开始探究海平面概念史的原因。)”可推知，本段主要讲述了作者研究工作的起因。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993.(自从我在2011年8月开始思考这个项目以来，海平面上升的问题以及将它置于历史背景下的必要性变得愈发紧迫：从那时到2022年底，全球海平面上升了近5厘米，约占自1993年以来卫星记录的总体上升幅度的一半。)”可知，划线词“it”指代前文提到的“the issue of sea-level rise”中的“the issue”，即海平面上升的问题。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第二段“That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book, I tell a story of these assumptions.(这个概念有一段历史很容易被忽视。我们往往忘记海平面是技术和文化决定的假设的产物。在这本书中，我讲述了这些假设的故事。)”以及第四段“In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level.(在这本书中，我考察了平均海平面历史的三个关键阶段。)”可推知，该书主要探讨海平面的历史。因此，这本书最合适的标题是“海平面：一段历史”。 D Artificial intelligence is transforming many industries, but one area where its benefits are especially clear is public health. For an industry that demands high accuracy and efficiency, AI could greatly improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. The greatest return from AI may come from detecting life-threatening illnesses earlier and more accurately. In June, Microsoft announced a medical tool that was four times more successful than doctors at identifying complex diseases. Some AI models can even predict health risks years in advance. Scientists recently reported that an AI system could predict the risk of over 1,000 diseases decades into the future. Less noticeable but equally important is AI’s ability to reduce office work. In the US, paperwork costs account for about 30% of extra healthcare spending compared to other countries. Speech-processing technologies can record conversations with patients, create medical notes, and draft letters. A recent study found that using such technologies reduced documentation time for doctors by more than 50%. Clearly, promoting AI adoption should be a priority for governments worldwide. Aging populations and rising healthcare costs are putting pressure on public budgets. The World Health Organization predicts a shortage of about 11 million healthcare workers by 2030, especially in lower-income countries. As the Covid-19 pandemic showed, a healthier global population benefits everyone. However, AI use in healthcare is still new and uneven. The technology is still developing, and strict testing is needed before widespread use. Health professionals need training. Data privacy concerns and outdated IT systems add to the challenges. Managers may hesitate to introduce AI where staff fear job loss. A joint effort from governments, health regulators, and tech companies is needed to fund, test, and deploy AI in hospitals. This will not be easy, but the reward — healthier populations and more sustainable healthcare systems — is worth the effort. 12. What is the main benefit of AI in healthcare according to paragraph 2? A. It reduces the cost of medical treatment. B. It replaces doctors in complex surgeries. C. It speeds up the development of new drugs. D. It enables early and precise disease detection. 13. How does AI help reduce office work in healthcare? A. By replacing human workers with robots. B. By doing paperwork in place of doctors. C. By removing the need for health checks. D. By training doctors to use new technologies. 14. What can be inferred about the current state of AI in healthcare? A. It has been widely adopted in hospitals. B. It has already solved data privacy concerns. C. It hasn’t been put into wide use nowadays. D. It is only used in private healthcare systems. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of AI in healthcare? A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Cautious. D. Supportive. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人工智能在医疗健康领域的应用，包括疾病检测、行政减负等方面的优势，同时也指出了当前面临的挑战和未来发展的方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The greatest return from AI may come from detecting life-threatening illnesses earlier and more accurately. (AI带来的最大回报可能来自更早、更准确地检测出危及生命的疾病。)”可知，AI在医疗健康领域的主要优势在于能够更早、更精准地发现疾病。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句“Speech-processing technologies can record conversations with patients, create medical notes, and draft letters. A recent study found that using such technologies reduced documentation time for doctors by more than 50%. (语音处理技术可以记录与患者的对话、生成病历并起草信件。最近一项研究发现，使用这类技术可将医生的文书工作时间减少50%以上。)”可知，AI通过处理病历和文书工作来帮助医生减轻行政负担。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句“However, AI use in healthcare is still new and uneven. The technology is still developing, and strict testing is needed before widespread use. (然而，AI在医疗保健领域的应用仍然处于新兴阶段，且发展不均衡。这项技术仍在发展中，在广泛应用之前需要严格的测试。)”可知，目前AI在医疗领域尚未得到广泛普及。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“This will not be easy, but the reward — healthier populations and more sustainable healthcare systems — is worth the effort. (这并非易事，但其回报——更健康的人口和更可持续的医疗体系——值得付出努力。)”可知，作者虽然承认AI在医疗领域应用面临困难，但认为其回报是值得的，整体态度是认可的、支持的。 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。 End the Cycle of Sleep Anxiety Nowadays, an increasing number of individuals struggle with insomnia (失眠) or difficulty in falling asleep, and feel uneasy about sleeplessness. That fear of not being able to sleep is a phenomenon called “sleep anxiety”. ____16____ Whether you face regular sleep stress or just the occasional troubled night, these practices can help. Treat sleep trackers mindfully. Sleep tracking devices and wearables, which can provide useful insights into your sleep quality, are widely popular. ____17____ This is because you may focus too much on the data from these devices instead of paying attention to your own actual feelings about sleep. Thus, it’s important to have a healthy level of skepticism when it comes to the data and a plan for what you will do with it. Prioritize pre-sleep wind-down. Never try to force yourself to go to bed at a specific time. ____18____ This gentle shift can take the form of unplugging from screens, putting on comfortable clothes and dimming the lights. Any of these can lessen the pressure of trying to fall asleep immediately. ____19____ Having a consistent wake-up time helps your body recognize when it’s time to get sleepy. A set wake-up time keeps your internal clock ticking on time. When you wake up, your sleep balloon is empty, which is then gradually filled with sleepiness throughout the day. Once it’s full, you feel ready to sleep. Changing sleep-related habits is only part of the solution. ____20____ After all, everyone has restless nights sometimes. A. Maintain a fixed daily morning rhythm. B. Wake up early to keep energetic all day. C. Indeed, they offer a full picture of your sleep. D. Left untreated, it robs you of truly restful sleep. E. You also need to embrace the natural variability of sleep. F. Pick a time to switch from daytime to nighttime activities. G. Actually, they may stress you out and worsen your insomnia. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. A 20.

Recently, our class had a heated discussion about students making friends online, and opinions are divided. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考例文 Should Students Make Friends Online? Recently, our class had a heated discussion about students making friends online, and opinions are divided. Some students hold a positive attitude towards it. They think that the Internet breaks the limitations of time and space, allowing them to meet people from different regions and backgrounds. Through online communication, they can broaden their horizons, learn about diverse cultures, and even find like-minded friends. However, other students are against it. They argue that it’s hard to tell whether the information others provide on the Internet is true or not, which may lead to being cheated. Moreover, spending too much time making friends online will take up time that should be used for studying or communicating with friends in real life. In my opinion, making friends online is not completely good or bad. We can make friends online, but we must be cautious. At the same time, we should balance the time spent online and in real life. Only in this way can we enjoy the benefits of online friendship while avoiding potential risks. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的身份为校园英语报纸写一篇关于学生网上交友的短文，需涵盖同学们的不同观点以及个人看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 限制：limitation → restriction 多样的：diverse → varied 欺骗：cheat → deceive 占据：take up → occupy 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：They think that the Internet breaks the limitations of time and space, allowing them to meet people from different regions and backgrounds. 拓展句：They think that the Internet breaks the limitations of time and space, which allows them to meet people from different regions and backgrounds. 【点睛】【高分句型1】They think that the Internet breaks the limitations of time and space, allowing them to meet people from different regions and backgrounds.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】They argue that it’s hard to tell whether the information others provide on the Internet is true or not, which may lead to being cheated.（运用了that引导的宾语从句、whether引导的宾语从句、省略that引导的限制性定语从句、which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第二节 读后续写 47. 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。 As far as I can remember, I’ve always been a night owl. Even in middle school I would stay up very late. I would feel completely at ease doing my homework in bed, with light music on. I found comfort in keeping myself awake when everyone else had gone to bed, and I loved the silence of the night. My parents urged me to get out of this so-called unhealthy habit, but their repeated requests fell on deaf ears. Fast forward to my first year of college. I still loved the night and would stay up until unruly hours for no apparent reason, chatting online and watching videos. When I finally started to study, I would race through the assigned work, often well past midnight. My roommates would tell me to go to bed and get up early the following morning to do it instead. Get up early to do my homework? No way! I would never do that. Then, one day last term, I did exactly that. Bent over my laptop while sitting on the bed in the corner of my room, I suddenly felt a pounding headache, and had to lie down. Unable to keep my eyes open, I decided I had no choice but to finish my homework the next morning. I woke up at 6am. Hardly had I written half a page when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. At the school clinic, a doctor, with a serious expression on his face, handed me a medical report. “You’re 20, but your heart is 40!” he said. A cold wave went through me. I realized that years of living as a late-night person had turned my heart into an overworked engine. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右。 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change. That very night, I initiated my battle against my deep-rooted habits. I forcibly switched off my laptop and phone at 10 p.m., placing them completely out of reach. However, my rebellious biological clock refused to cooperate. I tossed and turned in the darkness, the silence of the room amplifying my anxiety. The urge to grab my phone and drown in videos was overwhelmingly tempting. Just as my willpower was about to crumble, the doctor's stern voice and that terrifying sharp pain in my chest echoed in my mind, anchoring me back to reality. I squeezed my eyes shut, practicing deep breathing until exhaustion finally claimed me. Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off. The mornings, which used to be my greatest enemy, gradually transformed into a welcoming friend. Instead of racing through assignments with a foggy brain at midnight, I found myself tackling them with a clear and focused mind in the golden sunlight. Not only did the heavy burden on my chest vanish, but an unprecedented sense of vitality also flowed through my veins. When I proudly showed my parents my improved medical report during the holiday, their relieved smiles were my best reward. I finally realized that true comfort isn't found in the unruly hours of the night, but in the vibrant rhythm of a disciplined life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者长期熬夜导致心脏出现问题，医生警告后作者决定改变作息习惯，最终成功调整并恢复健康的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句提示可知，本段应描述作者开始改变熬夜习惯的具体行动和遇到的困难。 ②由第二段首句提示可知，本段应描述改变带来的积极效果和作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索： 决定改变——晚上强制关机——失眠挣扎——坚持——努力得到了回报——得到父母认可——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： 关掉：switch off/turn off/shut off 处理: tackle/handle/deal with 消失：vanish/fade away 情绪类： 令人恐惧的：terrifying/hair-raising/horrifying 自豪地：proudly/with pride 欣慰的：relieved/gratified 【点睛】【高分句型1】Just as my willpower was about to crumble, the doctor's stern voice and that terrifying sharp pain in my chest echoed in my mind, anchoring me back to reality.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】Not only did the heavy burden on my chest vanish, but an unprecedented sense of vitality also flowed through my veins.（运用了部分倒装句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 延吉市第三高级中学2025--2026学年度第二学期 高二年级期末考试英语学科试卷 命题人: 秦磊磊 审题人: 吴昊 【考生注意】 1. 本试卷满分150分, 考试时间120分钟。 2. 考生作答时, 请将答案答在答题卡上。用2B铅笔把答题卡上相应的答案标号涂黑; 书写部分请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答, 超出答题卡区域书写的答案无效, 在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分听力 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题; 每题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Jazz dance and street dance. ★ What is the application process? Applications are accepted throughout the year. The course will run for only four terms. To apply one must visit our center and fill in the application form with one passport-size photo, the birth certificate along with the $50 application fee. ★ What is the course structure? The dance course for kids is for 3.5 to 12 years, divided into three groups: Toddlers (3.5-5 years), Kids (6-8 years) and Tweens (9-12 years). For below 5 years, we teach creative movement, which is basically the pre-dance class, a way for children to explore movement through music, develop physical skills, and stimulate imagination. The advanced course includes body awareness, strength, conditioning, space awareness, expressions, and musicality. At the end of the course, all students have to appear for a performance test in the studio, where they have to demonstrate moves. Then, the kids are selected and promoted to improvers or advanced classes, depending on their skill and level of performance. Not all kids make it to the next level. ★ What are the rules? 80% attendance is required. Students have to come in uniform. Also, refer to Dance Etiquette (礼仪). ★ Are certificates provided? The certificate is awarded to students on an internal examination basis conducted after the completion of the course. To attain the certificate one must go to a minimum of 39 classes. 1.

Knowing dance etiquette well. D. Getting an A on the performance test. B High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 4. Why was the author at a loss after high school? A. She suffered from a lack of confidence. B. She fell behind her peers in performance. C. She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D. She struggled to decide a future direction. 5. Which aspect of marketing attracted the author? A. Its business courses. B. Its exciting career opportunities. C. Its stress on technical skills. D. Its courses related to writing. 6. What led the author to think about changing her major? A. The active encouragement from a friend. B. Reduced interest in communications. C. The growing passion for marketing courses. D. Access to numerous new opportunities. 7. What does the author advise high school students to do? A. Think twice about major selection. B. Be open to changing academic paths. C. Concentrate all their efforts on study. D. Engage in self-reflection consistently. C The peak of Mount Qomolangma, 8,849 meters above sea level. Chimborazo, 6,263 m; Mont Blanc, 4,806 m; Pradidali hut, at the foot of the Pala group in the Dolomites, 2,278 m. It is common practice to provide the elevation (高度) of a place. Simple readings are now readily available on our phones and wearables. But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location. The idea of sea level as a reference point for elevations has by now been around for so long as to go essentially unnoticed-we mention it without even considering what it means. That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book, I tell a story of these assumptions. Appropriately, the book took shape during a summer spent between sea and mountains. A month after visiting the French Riviera and enjoying the sandy beaches of Nice and Menton, I went hiking with friends in the Pala group. Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters (测高仪). Why did they vary ever so slightly from one instrument to the next? This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level. In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level. These stages mirror the development of human conceptions of the sea. Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993. 8. What does the author point out at the beginning of the text? A. Some mountains are getting higher. B. Data on wearables are misleading. C. The concept of elevation is relative. D. The reference point is hard to locate. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How the altimeter was invented. B. What initiated the author’s research. C. Why the digital readings varied. D. Where the author spent his holiday. 10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The book. B. The project. C. The issue. D. The development. 11. What can be the title of the book mentioned in the text? A. The Altimeter: A Must-Have B. Sea Level: A History C. Meaning of Zero: Nothing or Everything D. Mountains to Seas: Ups and Downs D Artificial intelligence is transforming many industries, but one area where its benefits are especially clear is public health. For an industry that demands high accuracy and efficiency, AI could greatly improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. The greatest return from AI may come from detecting life-threatening illnesses earlier and more accurately. In June, Microsoft announced a medical tool that was four times more successful than doctors at identifying complex diseases. Some AI models can even predict health risks years in advance. Scientists recently reported that an AI system could predict the risk of over 1,000 diseases decades into the future. Less noticeable but equally important is AI’s ability to reduce office work. In the US, paperwork costs account for about 30% of extra healthcare spending compared to other countries. Speech-processing technologies can record conversations with patients, create medical notes, and draft letters. A recent study found that using such technologies reduced documentation time for doctors by more than 50%. Clearly, promoting AI adoption should be a priority for governments worldwide. Aging populations and rising healthcare costs are putting pressure on public budgets. The World Health Organization predicts a shortage of about 11 million healthcare workers by 2030, especially in lower-income countries. As the Covid-19 pandemic showed, a healthier global population benefits everyone. However, AI use in healthcare is still new and uneven. The technology is still developing, and strict testing is needed before widespread use. Health professionals need training. Data privacy concerns and outdated IT systems add to the challenges. Managers may hesitate to introduce AI where staff fear job loss. A joint effort from governments, health regulators, and tech companies is needed to fund, test, and deploy AI in hospitals. This will not be easy, but the reward — healthier populations and more sustainable healthcare systems — is worth the effort. 12. What is the main benefit of AI in healthcare according to paragraph 2? A. It reduces the cost of medical treatment. B. It replaces doctors in complex surgeries. C. It speeds up the development of new drugs. D. It enables early and precise disease detection. 13. How does AI help reduce office work in healthcare? A. By replacing human workers with robots. B. By doing paperwork in place of doctors. C. By removing the need for health checks. D.

That fear of not being able to sleep is a phenomenon called “sleep anxiety”. ____16____ Whether you face regular sleep stress or just the occasional troubled night, these practices can help. Treat sleep trackers mindfully. Sleep tracking devices and wearables, which can provide useful insights into your sleep quality, are widely popular. ____17____ This is because you may focus too much on the data from these devices instead of paying attention to your own actual feelings about sleep. Thus, it’s important to have a healthy level of skepticism when it comes to the data and a plan for what you will do with it. Prioritize pre-sleep wind-down. Never try to force yourself to go to bed at a specific time. ____18____ This gentle shift can take the form of unplugging from screens, putting on comfortable clothes and dimming the lights. Any of these can lessen the pressure of trying to fall asleep immediately. ____19____ Having a consistent wake-up time helps your body recognize when it’s time to get sleepy. A set wake-up time keeps your internal clock ticking on time. When you wake up, your sleep balloon is empty, which is then gradually filled with sleepiness throughout the day. Once it’s full, you feel ready to sleep. Changing sleep-related habits is only part of the solution. ____20____ After all, everyone has restless nights sometimes. A. Maintain a fixed daily morning rhythm. B. Wake up early to keep energetic all day. C. Indeed, they offer a full picture of your sleep. D. Left untreated, it robs you of truly restful sleep. E.
