That accounts for nearly a quarter of the global population. Yet despite the clear nutritional and environmental advantages, most countries in Europe and North America remain highly reluctant to adopt insect-based food. So why should Westernized nations consider including insects in their meals? Eating insects as a replacement for traditional livestock could greatly contribute to a more sustainable world. Insects have an impressive feed-to-protein conversion rate and require significantly fewer resources — including water, land, and feed — than conventional farm animals for the same amount of protein production. According to Wayne Roberts, former manager of the Toronto Food Policy Council, “Edible insects do not appear on any endangered species lists, and their sustainable use could actually help protect other wildlife by reducing pressure on natural habitats.” The nutritional benefits of eating insects could play an important role in fighting childhood deaths and malnutrition rates. Monica Aiyeko of Bondo University College has studied the effects of adding native crickets to school meal programs in Kenya. Her research found that about 30% of Kenyan households experience food shortages, leading to widespread malnutrition among children, particularly those under the age of 5. Introducing insects into school feeding programs could provide children with essential nutrients to prevent stunted growth. Generally, insects are extremely nutritious, rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron. The popular Western opinion is perhaps best expressed by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan: “Europeans, and European settlers in North America, never developed a bug-eating tradition. We largely consider insects dirty and associated with disease. This is a major misunderstanding that needs to be corrected. All I’m asking for is a shift in food culture — is that really too much to expect?” 4. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Endangered insects are less tasty than common ones. B. Eating insects could threaten other wildlife species. C. Insects need more resources to produce the same amount of food. D. Insects require fewer resources for the same level of production. 5. What was the main focus of Monica Aiyeko’s research? A. The general health benefits of eating insects. B. The increasing rates of malnutrition among Kenyan children. C. The food safety problems in Kenyan households. D. The benefits of including insects in school meals in Kenya. 6. What is Ligaya Mishan’s attitude toward insect-eating? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Insects: An Unwelcome Future Food Source. B. Insects: A Necessary Change to Our Diet. C. Insects: A Hidden Threat to Food Security. D. Insects: A Game-changer in Modern Agriculture. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了食用昆虫的环境优势与营养价值，指出西方国家对食用昆虫存在认知误区，呼吁转变饮食文化，将昆虫纳入日常饮食。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Insects have an impressive feed-to-protein conversion rate and require significantly fewer resources — including water, land, and feed — than conventional farm animals for the same amount of protein production. (昆虫具有极高的饲料转化率，在生产同等蛋白质量时，其所需资源——包括水、土地及饲料——均远少于传统家畜。)”可知，昆虫在同等产量下消耗的资源更少。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Monica Aiyeko of Bondo University College has studied the effects of adding native crickets to school meal programs in Kenya. (邦多大学学院的莫妮卡·阿耶科研究了在肯尼亚学校膳食项目中添加本土蟋蟀的效果。)”可知，该研究聚焦将昆虫纳入肯尼亚校园膳食的积极作用。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This is a major misunderstanding that needs to be corrected. All I’m asking for is a shift in food culture — is that really too much to expect? (这是一个需要被纠正的重大误解。我所期盼的只是饮食文化的转变，这真的是过分的要求吗？)”可知，Ligaya Mishan认为西方社会对食用昆虫的认知存在偏差，支持推广食虫饮食、转变饮食文化。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。本文依次介绍食用昆虫的环保价值、改善营养不良的营养价值，驳斥西方的偏见误解，核心主旨是倡导人们改变传统饮食观念，将昆虫纳入饮食体系，是饮食中必要的革新。B项“昆虫：我们饮食的必要改变。”贴合全文核心，适合用作标题。 C Shayden Walker, a young boy from Amarillo, Texas, went to his neighbor’s house hoping to find children his age to play with. He stopped by and began talking to his neighbor through the family’s front door security camera. His neighbor, Brennan Ray, responded and told him there were some kids nearby. But that wasn’t good enough for Shayden. “They’re not my friends anymore because they’re bullies,” the boy explained. The two continued a brief conversation about whether Ray had children of his own that Shayden could play with. However, Ray’s daughter was just a baby, he told the boy. The conversation inspired Ray to post the video on TikTok, hoping to connect with the boy’s family. “You never know what people are going through until you take the time to talk to them. This young man is well-mannered, kind, and brave. So TikTok, can we help Shayden make some friends?” Ray said in the video. The post quickly gained nearly 69 million views. Shayden was diagnosed with autism and several other mental health conditions, according to his mother, Krishna Patterson. “People need to understand that these mental health issues can make children, and even adults, feel sad and isolated. Shayden has had difficulty maintaining friendships and sometimes experiences meltdowns that involve crying and accidentally hurting himself or others who try to calm him down,” she added. When these meltdowns occurred, people would say, “We don’t want our kids to hang out with your child.” After his visit to the Rays’ house and receiving kindness from so many people, Shayden said he felt “pretty good.” He has made friends from all over the world, including Hawaii, China, Australia, and England. Ray and his wife also started a GoFundMe campaign, which raised over $37,000 for Shayden. The money can be used for anything he wants, including a gaming setup, school clothes, and amusement park tickets. Shayden’s mother mentioned that he wants to donate some of the money to charities. As for Ray, his video has taught the world a valuable lesson in kindness and acceptance. 8. Why did Shayden go to his neighbor’s house? A. To test the security camera system. B. To report some bullies in the area. C. To have a casual chat with his neighbor. D. To find someone he could play with. 9. What does Ray think of Shayden after their short conversation? A. Friendly but negative. B. Brave and intelligent. C. Caring but dangerous. D. Polite and courageous. 10. What can we learn about Shayden from Paragraph 3? A. He cries constantly all the time. B. He sometimes causes harm to himself. C. He behaves just like other children. D. He can control his emotions easily. 11. What will Shayden likely do with the money raised for him? A. Make more friends online. B. Do something generous and helpful. C. Help build new schools for children. D. Save it all for amusement park tickets. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一位患有自闭症的男孩Shayden Walker为了找玩伴来到邻居家，邻居Ray将视频发到TikTok后引发广泛关注，最终Shayden收获了来自世界各地的朋友和捐款，并计划将部分捐款捐给慈善机构的故事，传递了善良与包容的主题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Shayden Walker, a young boy from Amarillo, Texas, went to his neighbor’s house hoping to find children his age to play with.(来自得克萨斯州阿马里洛的小男孩Shayden Walker去邻居家，希望能找到同龄的孩子一起玩。)”可知，Shayden去邻居家的目的是找找能一起玩耍的人。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段Ray在视频中对Shayden的评价“This young man is well-mannered, kind, and brave.(这个年轻人有礼貌、善良且勇敢。)”可知，Ray认为他礼貌且勇敢。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Shayden has had difficulty maintaining friendships and sometimes experiences meltdowns that involve crying and accidentally hurting himself or others who try to calm him down(Shayden难以维持友谊，有时会情绪崩溃，大哭并意外伤害到自己或试图安抚他的他人)”可知，Shayden有时会伤害自己。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Shayden’s mother mentioned that he wants to donate some of the money to charities.(Shayden的母亲提到他想把部分钱捐给慈善机构。)”可知，Shayden会用这笔钱做慷慨有益的事。 D One of the 2024 Nobel Prize winners in Physics, Geoffrey Hinton, who pioneered the neural networks that power artificial intelligence, has warned that machines might one day become smarter than humans. Perhaps. However, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored a practical example of how AI is already helping humanity today — with groundbreaking discoveries in protein structure that have wide-ranging applications. This is a development worth celebrating. Proteins are biology’s lead actors — they control and drive all the chemical reactions that form the basis of life. Proteins also function as signaling substances and building blocks for various tissues. In the human body, they are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of tissues and organs. In the late 1950s, John Kendrew and Max Perutz from Cambridge University created the first 3D models of proteins, earning them the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But progress in determining protein structures remained painfully slow for decades. It could take years to characterize just a single protein structure. The three scientists who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry have completely transformed the field. They developed an AI and machine learning model called AlphaFold that can predict protein structures, decoding the amino acids that compose each one. AlphaFold can accomplish in minutes what once required years of painstaking work. Furthermore, with the help of AlphaFold, scientists have developed a more effective vaccine for malaria, a deadly disease caused by a shape-shifting parasite. Matthew Higgins at the University of Oxford explained that the breakthrough helped his team determine which protein components to include in the vaccine, which trains the body’s immune system to recognize and respond to the parasite. This significantly expedited his research from “a fundamental science stage to the preclinical and clinical development stage.” Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always accurate. And without question, there are real risks when powerful technology falls into the wrong hands. In the years ahead, AI’s dangers must be confronted and safeguards established. But at least for now, AlphaFold demonstrates that AI can greatly enhance our existing knowledge to benefit humanity. 12. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. How proteins help maintain life and health. B. The process of proteins regulating chemical reactions. C. The vital role of proteins in biological research. D. The complex interaction between proteins and tissues. 13. How does the author illustrate the impact of AI on biological research? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting statistical data. C. By quoting experts’ statements. D. By describing a detailed process. 14. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Work out. B. Speed up. C. Put off. D. Hold back. 15. What is the author’s overall attitude toward AI? A. Negative. B. Skeptical. C. Unconcerned. D. Objective. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了2024年诺贝尔化学奖得主利用AI模型AlphaFold快速预测蛋白质结构，从而极大地推动生物医学研究，同时作者也客观分析了AI的利弊。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容“Proteins are biology’s lead actors — they control and drive all the chemical reactions that form the basis of life. Proteins also function as signaling substances and building blocks for various tissues. In the human body, they are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of tissues and organs.(蛋白质是生物学的主角——它们控制和驱动构成生命基础的所有化学反应。蛋白质还充当信号物质和各种组织的构建材料。在人体中，它们对组织和器官的结构、功能及调节至关重要。)”可知，该段主要说明蛋白质如何维持生命和健康。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“They developed an AI and machine learning model called AlphaFold that can predict protein structures, decoding the amino acids that compose each one. AlphaFold can accomplish in minutes what once required years of painstaking work.(他们开发了一种名为AlphaFold的人工智能和机器学习模型，能够预测蛋白质的结构，并解码构成每种蛋白质的氨基酸。AlphaFold可以在几分钟内完成过去需要数年艰苦努力才能实现的任务。)”可知，作者通过将过去测定蛋白质结构需要数年的耗时情况和AlphaFold仅需数分钟的情况作对比，来展现AI对生物研究的影响。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“AlphaFold can accomplish in minutes what once required years of painstaking work.(AlphaFold能在几分钟内完成过去需要数年艰苦工作才能做到的事。)”可知，AI极大地缩短了时间。再结合第五段划线句“This significantly expedited his research from “a fundamental science stage to the preclinical and clinical development stage.”(这极大地expedited他从“基础科学研究阶段到临床前及临床开发阶段的进程”)”可推断，研究进程被大大加快。因此，“expedite”在句中意思是“加速”，与“speed up”意思一致。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always accurate. And without question, there are real risks when powerful technology falls into the wrong hands. In the years ahead, AI’s dangers must be confronted and safeguards established. But at least for now, AlphaFold demonstrates that AI can greatly enhance our existing knowledge to benefit humanity.(任何使用过ChatGPT的人都知道，人工智能并不总是准确的。毫无疑问，当强大的技术落入不法之手时，确实会带来真实的风险。在未来的几年里，我们必须正视人工智能的危险，并建立相应的防护措施。但至少目前，AlphaFold表明，人工智能能够极大地丰富我们现有的知识，造福人类。)”可知，作者既承认人工智能并不总是准确的，也指出人工智能能够极大地丰富我们现有的知识，造福人类，对AI的正面和负面影响都进行了客观陈述，没有偏向消极、怀疑或漠不关心，因此态度是客观的。 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 Become a Better English Learner Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. ____16____ Classes are important, but so is consistent practice.

As I moved toward the door, it suddenly collapsed to the ground and lay still, whimpering softly. “That dog is suffering from the heat,” said a man standing behind me. I gently picked it up. It lay like a baby in my arms, looking at me with large, trusting eyes. I opened the door and walked inside. “Do you have some water I could give this dog?” I asked. The shop owner shook his head. “Just leave it alone. It doesn’t belong here. Someone will come back for it.” I knew I had never seen the dog before, but the way it looked at me brought back a distant memory. It needed me. I carried it to my car. As I drove, I could feel it watching me. In the comfortable silence, I took it home and gave it a name — Lucy. When we arrived home, I bathed her and dried her long, curly white fur. Then I placed an old quilt inside a box in the kitchen. Lucy seemed to understand it was for her. Later that afternoon, my children came home. “Wow, what a cute ball of fur!” they exclaimed. Lucy rolled over onto her back, and my children played with her happily. “We’re so glad she found us,” they said. However, three days later, an advertisement appeared in the local newspaper: “Lost. One small white dog. Answers to the name of Augy. Reward offered.” The address was for a traditional clothing shop. When I arrived at the shop that evening, I had an uneasy feeling. A young man greeted the dog warmly and thanked me sincerely for taking such good care of her. I could tell this man loved his dog. He had paid for an ad and offered a reward. I was sure I had done the right thing by bringing her back, but I felt heartbroken knowing I would never see her again. 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。 Paragraph 1: I refused the reward, and left the shop alone. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The young man’s words were totally unexpected. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1: I refused the reward, and left the shop alone. My heart felt heavy as I walked to my car. I had only known Lucy for three days, but she had already become part of my family. The children would be disappointed when they learned she was gone. Just as I was about to drive away, the young man ran out of the shop and called after me. “Wait, please!” he shouted, catching his breath. I rolled down my window, wondering what he wanted. He looked at me with a mixture of gratitude and hesitation, as if he was struggling to say something important. Paragraph 2: The young man’s words were totally unexpected. “Actually, I think Augy would be happier with you,” he said quietly. “I work long hours, and she’s alone most of the day. I could see in her eyes that she truly loved being with you and your family.” I was speechless. He continued, “As long as you promise to take good care of her, she’s yours.” Tears filled my eyes as I thanked him from the bottom of my heart. That day, I learned that sometimes love means letting go, and true kindness comes from putting another’s happiness before your own. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者偶遇一只中暑倒地的小狗，心生怜悯将其带回家悉心照料，并取名Lucy，小狗也给一家人带来了许多欢乐。几天后作者看到寻狗启事，忍痛将小狗送还给深爱它的主人，虽无悔自己的善举，内心却万分不舍、满心失落。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由首句内容可知，第一段续写描写作者谢绝酬金、落寞离去，因不舍小狗而心情沉重，担心孩子失落。正当作者准备驾车离开时，狗主人匆忙追出，神情犹豫，似有要事相告，为后文反转埋下伏笔。 ②由首句内容可知，第二段续写描写主人出人意料地表示自己工作繁忙、无暇陪伴小狗，看出小狗在作者家更快乐，于是主动将小狗赠予作者。作者深受感动，领悟到爱与善意的真谛，小狗也正式成为家庭的一员。 2.续写线索：谢绝酬金、落寞离开→内心不舍、满心遗憾→主人匆忙追出→欲言又止、神情纠结→主动赠予小狗→作者感动落泪→领悟真爱与善意、圆满结局 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①奔出：run out/rush out ②承诺：promise/guarantee 情绪类 ①失望的：disappointed/despondent ②感谢：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I rolled down my window, wondering what he wanted.（运用了现在分词作状语以及what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] He looked at me with a mixture of gratitude and hesitation, as if he was struggling to say something important.（运用了as if引导方式状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 临泉县靖波高级中学2025-2026学年高二开学考试 英 语 分值：150分 时间：120分钟 班级：________ 姓名：________ 学号：________ 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, approximately two billion people regularly eat insects as part of their daily diet. That accounts for nearly a quarter of the global population. Yet despite the clear nutritional and environmental advantages, most countries in Europe and North America remain highly reluctant to adopt insect-based food. So why should Westernized nations consider including insects in their meals? Eating insects as a replacement for traditional livestock could greatly contribute to a more sustainable world. Insects have an impressive feed-to-protein conversion rate and require significantly fewer resources — including water, land, and feed — than conventional farm animals for the same amount of protein production. According to Wayne Roberts, former manager of the Toronto Food Policy Council, “Edible insects do not appear on any endangered species lists, and their sustainable use could actually help protect other wildlife by reducing pressure on natural habitats.” The nutritional benefits of eating insects could play an important role in fighting childhood deaths and malnutrition rates. Monica Aiyeko of Bondo University College has studied the effects of adding native crickets to school meal programs in Kenya. Her research found that about 30% of Kenyan households experience food shortages, leading to widespread malnutrition among children, particularly those under the age of 5. Introducing insects into school feeding programs could provide children with essential nutrients to prevent stunted growth. Generally, insects are extremely nutritious, rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron. The popular Western opinion is perhaps best expressed by New York Times writer Ligaya Mishan: “Europeans, and European settlers in North America, never developed a bug-eating tradition. We largely consider insects dirty and associated with disease. This is a major misunderstanding that needs to be corrected. All I’m asking for is a shift in food culture — is that really too much to expect?” 4. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Endangered insects are less tasty than common ones. B. Eating insects could threaten other wildlife species. C. Insects need more resources to produce the same amount of food. D. Insects require fewer resources for the same level of production. 5. What was the main focus of Monica Aiyeko’s research? A. The general health benefits of eating insects. B. The increasing rates of malnutrition among Kenyan children. C. The food safety problems in Kenyan households. D. The benefits of including insects in school meals in Kenya. 6. What is Ligaya Mishan’s attitude toward insect-eating? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Insects: An Unwelcome Future Food Source. B. Insects: A Necessary Change to Our Diet. C. Insects: A Hidden Threat to Food Security. D. Insects: A Game-changer in Modern Agriculture. C Shayden Walker, a young boy from Amarillo, Texas, went to his neighbor’s house hoping to find children his age to play with. He stopped by and began talking to his neighbor through the family’s front door security camera. His neighbor, Brennan Ray, responded and told him there were some kids nearby. But that wasn’t good enough for Shayden. “They’re not my friends anymore because they’re bullies,” the boy explained. The two continued a brief conversation about whether Ray had children of his own that Shayden could play with. However, Ray’s daughter was just a baby, he told the boy. The conversation inspired Ray to post the video on TikTok, hoping to connect with the boy’s family. “You never know what people are going through until you take the time to talk to them. This young man is well-mannered, kind, and brave. So TikTok, can we help Shayden make some friends?” Ray said in the video. The post quickly gained nearly 69 million views. Shayden was diagnosed with autism and several other mental health conditions, according to his mother, Krishna Patterson. “People need to understand that these mental health issues can make children, and even adults, feel sad and isolated. Shayden has had difficulty maintaining friendships and sometimes experiences meltdowns that involve crying and accidentally hurting himself or others who try to calm him down,” she added. When these meltdowns occurred, people would say, “We don’t want our kids to hang out with your child.” After his visit to the Rays’ house and receiving kindness from so many people, Shayden said he felt “pretty good.” He has made friends from all over the world, including Hawaii, China, Australia, and England. Ray and his wife also started a GoFundMe campaign, which raised over $37,000 for Shayden. The money can be used for anything he wants, including a gaming setup, school clothes, and amusement park tickets. Shayden’s mother mentioned that he wants to donate some of the money to charities. As for Ray, his video has taught the world a valuable lesson in kindness and acceptance. 8. Why did Shayden go to his neighbor’s house? A. To test the security camera system. B. To report some bullies in the area. C. To have a casual chat with his neighbor. D. To find someone he could play with. 9. What does Ray think of Shayden after their short conversation? A. Friendly but negative. B. Brave and intelligent. C. Caring but dangerous. D. Polite and courageous. 10. What can we learn about Shayden from Paragraph 3? A. He cries constantly all the time. B. He sometimes causes harm to himself. C. He behaves just like other children. D. He can control his emotions easily. 11. What will Shayden likely do with the money raised for him? A. Make more friends online. B. Do something generous and helpful. C. Help build new schools for children. D. Save it all for amusement park tickets. D One of the 2024 Nobel Prize winners in Physics, Geoffrey Hinton, who pioneered the neural networks that power artificial intelligence, has warned that machines might one day become smarter than humans. Perhaps. However, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored a practical example of how AI is already helping humanity today — with groundbreaking discoveries in protein structure that have wide-ranging applications. This is a development worth celebrating. Proteins are biology’s lead actors — they control and drive all the chemical reactions that form the basis of life. Proteins also function as signaling substances and building blocks for various tissues. In the human body, they are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of tissues and organs. In the late 1950s, John Kendrew and Max Perutz from Cambridge University created the first 3D models of proteins, earning them the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But progress in determining protein structures remained painfully slow for decades. It could take years to characterize just a single protein structure. The three scientists who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry have completely transformed the field. They developed an AI and machine learning model called AlphaFold that can predict protein structures, decoding the amino acids that compose each one. AlphaFold can accomplish in minutes what once required years of painstaking work. Furthermore, with the help of AlphaFold, scientists have developed a more effective vaccine for malaria, a deadly disease caused by a shape-shifting parasite. Matthew Higgins at the University of Oxford explained that the breakthrough helped his team determine which protein components to include in the vaccine, which trains the body’s immune system to recognize and respond to the parasite. This significantly expedited his research from “a fundamental science stage to the preclinical and clinical development stage.” Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always accurate. And without question, there are real risks when powerful technology falls into the wrong hands. In the years ahead, AI’s dangers must be confronted and safeguards established. But at least for now, AlphaFold demonstrates that AI can greatly enhance our existing knowledge to benefit humanity. 12. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. How proteins help maintain life and health. B. The process of proteins regulating chemical reactions. C. The vital role of proteins in biological research. D. The complex interaction between proteins and tissues. 13. How does the author illustrate the impact of AI on biological research? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting statistical data. C. By quoting experts’ statements. D. By describing a detailed process. 14. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Work out. B. Speed up. C. Put off. D. Hold back. 15. What is the author’s overall attitude toward AI? A. Negative. B. Skeptical. C. Unconcerned. D. Objective. 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 Become a Better English Learner Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. ____16____ Classes are important, but so is consistent practice. It can even be enjoyable. Here are some guidelines to help you become a more effective English learner. Study every day. Learning any new language takes time — more than 300 hours by some estimates. Rather than trying to cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts recommend short, regular study sessions for better results. ____17____ ____18____ Instead of focusing on one single task for your entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much at once; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more enjoyable. Read, watch, and listen.

As I moved toward the door, it suddenly collapsed to the ground and lay still, whimpering softly. “That dog is suffering from the heat,” said a man standing behind me. I gently picked it up. It lay like a baby in my arms, looking at me with large, trusting eyes. I opened the door and walked inside. “Do you have some water I could give this dog?” I asked. The shop owner shook his head. “Just leave it alone. It doesn’t belong here. Someone will come back for it.” I knew I had never seen the dog before, but the way it looked at me brought back a distant memory. It needed me. I carried it to my car. As I drove, I could feel it watching me. In the comfortable silence, I took it home and gave it a name — Lucy. When we arrived home, I bathed her and dried her long, curly white fur. Then I placed an old quilt inside a box in the kitchen. Lucy seemed to understand it was for her. Later that afternoon, my children came home. “Wow, what a cute ball of fur!” they exclaimed. Lucy rolled over onto her back, and my children played with her happily. “We’re so glad she found us,” they said. However, three days later, an advertisement appeared in the local newspaper: “Lost. One small white dog. Answers to the name of Augy. Reward offered.” The address was for a traditional clothing shop. When I arrived at the shop that evening, I had an uneasy feeling. A young man greeted the dog warmly and thanked me sincerely for taking such good care of her. I could tell this man loved his dog. He had paid for an ad and offered a reward. I was sure I had done the right thing by bringing her back, but I felt heartbroken knowing I would never see her again. 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。 Paragraph 1: I refused the reward, and left the shop alone. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The young man’s words were totally unexpected. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
