Many of America’s state-high points lie in national parks, welcoming hikers, climbers, and drivers with breathtaking views. Alaska: Mount McKinley in Denali National Park The peak of Mount McKinley, located on the Alaska-Canada border, is not only the highest point in Alaska, but also on the continent of North America. The mountain, which is a world-famous destination for mountaineers, is so tall that it can be seen towering over the Alaska landscape by astronauts in space! California: Mt. Whitney in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks Known as the tallest mountain in the “lower 48” states, Mt. Whitney is located on the far eastern boundary of Sequoia National Park. Requiring a permit before setting out, it is one of the most popular climbed mountain peaks in the Sierra Nevada with a height of 14, 494 feet. Tennessee: Clingmans Dome in Great Smoky Mountains National Park At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the state. Most visitors drive to the top of the mountain if weather and conditions permit. On clear days, you can see more than 100 miles of a 360-degree breathtaking view from the mountain’s observation tower. Washington: Mount Rainier in Mount Rainier National Park Mount Rainier stands 14, 410 feet above sea level making it hard to miss. An active volcano, it is the highest mountain in the Cascade Range and the Cascade Volcanic Arc and poses an exciting challenge for prepared mountaineers. 1. What do we know about Mount McKinley? A.

Using her mathematics skills, she helped NASA send astronauts to the moon and return them safely home. Johnson was born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in 1918. Math came easy to her. She started high school when she was just 10 years old and college when she was 15. After graduating with honors at 18, Johnson taught black students math. Later she continued to study math at West Virginia University but left early to raise a family and return to teaching. In 1952, when she was 34 years old, she learned about jobs for black women with mathematics and computing skills at the Langley Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (航空学), which would later become NASA. She and the other women worked as “human computers,” figuring out the difficult calculations (计算) needed for spaceflight. During her time there, she broke racial (种族的) barriers, like using the bathroom that was supposed to be for white women only. One of her biggest achievements at NASA was helping calculate the path of the country’s first human spaceflight in 1961, making sure astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr. had a safe trip. A year later she helped figure out John Glenn’s orbit of the planet, another American first. In 1969, she calculated the path of Neil Armstrong’s historic mission to the moon on Apollo 11. Yet unlike the white male astronauts she helped launch into space, no one knew of the groundbreaking work Johnson and many other black women did for NASA and space exploration. It wasn’t until the 2016 launch of the movie Hidden Figures that these women received widespread recognition. Johnson died in 2020, at the age of 101. In her honor, NASA built the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility at the Langley Research Center to celebrate the hard work she did. 4. What can be inferred about Johnson? A. She hesitated before raising a family. B. She showed extraordinary talent in math. C. She struggled with teaching black students. D. She received many honors during her teaching career. 5. What did Johnson do at NASA? A. She studied racial barriers. B. She calculated spaceflight paths. C. She led physical training programs. D. She designed astronauts’ bathrooms. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The variety of spaceflight projects. B. The courage of American astronauts. C. The desire of NASA’s administrators (管理人员). D. The significance of Johnson’s achievements. 7. What helped Johnson win the public’s attention? A. Her public speech. B. Her story in a movie. C. Support from black women. D. Recommendations by scientists. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Katherine Johnson凭借数学天赋在NASA担任“人类计算机”，为多项开创性太空任务计算轨道，却因种族和性别原因长期被忽视，直到电影《隐藏人物》上映才获得广泛认可。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Math came easy to her. She started high school when she was just 10 years old and college when she was 15. After graduating with honors at 18, Johnson taught black students math. (数学对她来说轻而易举。她10岁就升入了高中，15岁就上了大学。18岁时以优异的成绩毕业之后，Johnson便开始为黑人学生教授数学课程。)”可知，Johnson学习优异，大学毕业后就教授黑人学生数学课程，这表明她在数学上展现了非凡的天赋。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1952, when she was 34 years old, she learned about jobs for black women with mathematics and computing skills at the Langley Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (航空学), which would later become NASA. She and the other women worked as “human computers,” figuring out the difficult calculations (计算) needed for spaceflight. (1952年，当时她34岁，她得知了在国家航空咨询委员会兰利实验室中为具备数学和计算能力的黑人女性提供的工作机会，该机构后来发展成为美国国家航空航天局。她和其他女性一起担任“人类计算机”的角色，负责完成太空飞行所需的复杂计算工作。)”可知，她在美国国家航空航天局的工作是计算太空飞行路径。故选B项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“One of her biggest achievements at NASA was helping calculate the path of the country’s first human spaceflight in 1961, making sure astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr. had a safe trip. A year later she helped figure out John Glenn’s orbit of the planet, another American first. In 1969, she calculated the path of Neil Armstrong’s historic mission to the moon on Apollo 11. (她在美国国家航空航天局所取得的最大成就之一，便是协助计算了1961年该国首次载人航天飞行的飞行路径，确保宇航员小Alan B. Shepard的飞行之旅安全无虞。一年后，她又帮助计算出了John Glenn环绕地球的轨道，这是又一项美国的首创成就。1969年，她计算出了Neil Armstrong乘坐阿波罗11号执行历史性登月任务的飞行路径。)”可知，本段通过具体事例说明了Johnson成就的重要意义。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“It wasn’t until the 2016 launch of the movie Hidden Figures that these women received widespread recognition. (直到2016年电影《隐藏人物》的上映，这些女性才获得了广泛的认可。)”可知，电影中呈现的故事帮助Johnson赢得了公众的关注。故选B项。 C “Alexa, turn on the lights.” Consumers (消费者) like the idea that a simple voice command (命令) like this can make their home a place of simplicity, where having a simple conversation with a human-like personal assistant such as Amazon’s Alexa, completes small tasks like turning on the lights, changing the temperature, or checking the weather. While a number of voice-activated smart home systems have proved to be popular with consumers, the introduction of hands-free gesture (手势) control systems presents a different option for homeowners. Chicago-based Fibaro offers the Fibaro Swipe, a wireless gesture control pad that performs tasks and controls smart home devices with the wave of a hand. The device recognizes six gestures — up, down, left, right, circle to the left, and circle to the right, or can be programmed with more complex sequences (序列). “We developed Swipe to offer an entirely new way of interacting with technology in the home,” said Rich Bira, managing director of Fibaro USA. “Smart home consumers no longer have to worry about having their smartphone beside them at home to control their devices and ‘scenes’— Swipe will deliver a no-touch access point to control them all.” A similar product, Bixi, is also making its way into the homes of consumers. It’s the first able (便携式的) hand-gesture recognition device from France-based technology startup Biuemint Labs. It connects to phones, pads and smart home devices through Bluetooth and recognizes gestures for contact-less use. If your hands are dirty from cooking but you need to scroll (滚动) down to see the rest of a recipe (菜谱), Bixi will recognize the hand gestures to perform the action for you. “We’ve created Bixi to remove the inconvenience of having to physically interact with a touch screen, removing the need to touch or even be in front of your device,” says Vijayaraghavan Narayanan, founder and CEO of Bluemint Labs. Will gesture-controlled smart home control systems outperform those that are voice-activated? Let’s wait and see. 8. Why does the author mention Alexa at the beginning? A. To introduce a new smart home device. B. To stress the need for voice-activated systems. C. To lead up to a discussion on hands-free devices. D. To encourage consumers to use voice commands. 9. How does the author support the idea presented in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes. C. By stating arguments. D. By making comparisons. 10. What problem does Bixi aim to solve? A. Smartphone connection. B. Trouble with touch screens. C. Problems of movement recognition. D. Difficulty in programming different gestures. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Are Voice-Activated Smart Homes on the Rise? B. Fibaro Swipe: A New Age in Smart Home Interaction C. Are Gesture-Control Devices the Next Big Thing in Home Tech? D. Bluem int Labs: The Answer to Touch-Free Interaction with Smart Devices 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了手势控制智能家居系统这一新兴技术，通过对比语音控制和手势控制两种智能家居交互方式，阐述了手势控制系统的特点、优势以及应用实例。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Consumers (消费者) like the idea that a simple voice command (命令) like this can make their home a place of simplicity, where having a simple conversation with a human-like personal assistant such as Amazon’s Alexa, completes small tasks like turning on the lights, changing the temperature, or checking the weather.(消费者喜欢这样的想法，一个简单的语音命令可以让他们的家变得简单，在那里与像亚马逊的Alexa这样的人形个人助理进行简单的对话，完成像开灯、改变温度或查看天气这样的小任务)”以及第三段“While a number of voice-activated smart home systems have proved to be popular with consumers, the introduction of hands-free gesture (手势) control systems presents a different option for homeowners.(虽然许多声控智能家居系统已经被证明很受消费者欢迎，但手势控制系统的引入为房主提供了一个不同的选择)”可知，作者在开头提到Alexa是为了引出一个关于免手持设备的讨论。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“While a number of voice-activated smart home systems have proved to be popular with consumers, the introduction of hands-free gesture (手势) control systems presents a different option for homeowners.(虽然许多声控智能家居系统已经被证明很受消费者欢迎，但手势控制系统的引入为房主提供了一个不同的选择)”，第四段“Chicago-based Fibaro offers the Fibaro Swipe, a wireless gesture control pad that performs tasks and controls smart home devices with the wave of a hand.(总部位于芝加哥的Fibaro公司推出了无线手势控制板Fibaro Swipe，用户只需挥挥手就能完成任务并控制智能家居设备)”以及第六段“A similar product, Bixi, is also making its way into the homes of consumers.(一款类似的产品Bixi也正在进入消费者的家庭)”可知，作者是通过举例来支持第3段中提出的观点。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““We’ve created Bixi to remove the inconvenience of having to physically interact with a touch screen, removing the need to touch or even be in front of your device,” says Vijayaraghavan Narayanan, founder and CEO of Bluemint Labs.(Bluemint Labs创始人兼首席执行官Vijayaraghavan Narayanan表示：“我们创造Bixi是为了消除与触摸屏进行物理交互的不便，不再需要触摸设备，甚至不需要坐在设备前面。”)”可知，Bixi的目标是解决触摸屏的问题。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“While a number of voice-activated smart home systems have proved to be popular with consumers, the introduction of hands-free gesture (手势) control systems presents a different option for homeowners.(虽然许多声控智能家居系统已经被证明很受消费者欢迎，但免提手势控制系统的引入为房主提供了一个不同的选择)”和最后一段“Will gesture-controlled smart home control systems outperform those that are voice-activated?

The software uses artificial neural (人工神经的) networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice. When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future! But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The father of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer-generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz, developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it. AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer, and I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: can we reproduce creativity using a computer? Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected. 12. What plays an important role in producing PROTO? A. Holly’s special voice. B. Holly’s rich knowledge. C. The input of existing music. D. The use of an instrument. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The recent famous music artists. B. The increasing diversity of AI music. C. The development of computer science. D. The history of computer-generated music. 14. Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa? A. To show the popularity of smart robots. B. To promote deep thinking on AI musicians. C. To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists. D. To make comparisons between human and robotic artists. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards music co-created by AI and humans? A. Confident. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍音乐人Holly借助人工智能创作音乐，梳理计算机生成音乐发展历程，并探讨人工智能与人类联合创作音乐的前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI).(在制作专辑PROTO时，霍莉训练数据集创作新音乐。这个过程需要录入由人类或人工智能创作的音乐数据。)”可知，录入已有音乐数据在制作这张专辑中起到重要作用。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The father of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer-generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz, developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it.(但霍莉·赫恩登并不是唯一探索人工智能作曲的人。上个世纪，机器在音乐领域发挥的作用越来越大。计算机科学之父艾伦·图灵在1951年创作出第一首计算机生成音乐。随后在1980年，加州大学圣克鲁兹分校的戴维·科普开发出EMI——音乐智能实验系统，该系统能够分析现有音乐并以此创作新曲目。)”可知，本段按照时间顺序介绍计算机生成音乐的发展历史。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer, and I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: can we reproduce creativity using a computer?(米克拉·索萨是一名计算机生成艺人，在照片墙拥有超百万粉丝。米克拉称：“我是模特兼歌手，同时我是机器人。”这就引出一个问题：我们能用计算机复刻创造力吗？)”可知，作者举这个例子，旨在引发人们对人工智能艺人相关问题的深入思考。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.(尽管这些问题并不容易回答，但我相信音乐的下一个前沿领域介于两者之间。我能看到前进的道路，迎来创造力的新曙光，将人类创造能力与人工智能相结合。并且随着音乐和人工智能联系变得更加紧密，音乐的下一个篇章必将变得精彩。)”可知，作者对人类与人工智能协同创作音乐抱有信心。 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。 Birdwatching is a fun hobby for many people. ____16____They take photos and record the birds’ sounds to learn about their behavior. Prayitno Goenarto, 31, is an experienced birdwatcher and wildlife photographer from Indonesia. When he was a college student, he got sick for a while. His doctor advised him to go outdoors more often. He then decided to watch birds and take photos of them. Once, he took a photo of a small songbird. Knowing little about birds, he labeled it as a sparrow online. Soon, someone corrected him. The bird was actually a finch. This embarrassing incident led Goenarto to check out a field guide. ____17____ “Birdwatching has helped me in ways beyond what I could imagine.” Goenarto recalled. His life slows down. He makes new friends. He also encounters (遇见)bird species he didn’t know about. “____18____ Especially if you have placed a lot of effort into finding the bird—learning the bird’s song, habitat, ecology, and reviewing sightings. ” he said. “ I feel my heart race, my eyes widen and almost automatically(自动地) I start to smile.” One of the highlights(最精彩的部分) of his career was a trip to a faraway island to search for a rare bird species. The journey was hard. It rained heavily every afternoon. He was cold and wet for nearly the entire trip. ____19____“ Each day was as exciting as the next as almost all the birds I saw were new to me.” he said. Besides watching, Goenarto also takes photos and records sounds on field trips. Such photos of birds or other animals can help raise awareness to protect animals.“____20____” Goenarto said. “ They inspire people to learn more about what is out there and why it’s worth saving.” A. That was when he started watching birds. B. It is difficult to describe such feelings. C. Birders like to look at birds in the wild. D. Wildlife photography can capture amazing moments in nature. E. That sparked his lifelong interest in birdwatching and photography. F. However, he was able to find many new locations for the species. G. They can also help him analyze and compare to see if there are any trends. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。观鸟专家观鸟乐趣无穷，意义非凡。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Birdwatching is a fun hobby for many people. (对许多人来说，观鸟是一项有趣的爱好。)”以及空后“They take photos and record the birds’ sounds to learn about their behavior. (他们拍摄照片并记录鸟类的声音，以了解它们的行为。)”可知，C项“Birders like to look at birds in the wild. (观鸟者喜欢看野外的鸟。)”承上启下，语意连贯。C项中的“birders”前面对应“many people”，后面对应代词“they”。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据空前“This embarrassing incident led Goenarto to check out a field guide. (这一尴尬的事件促使Goenarto查阅了一本野外指南。)”可知，野外指南促进了Goenarto对观鸟的兴趣，让他想更多了解鸟类。E项“That sparked his lifelong interest in birdwatching and photography. (这激发了他对观鸟和摄影的毕生兴趣。)”符合语义逻辑，承接上文。且E项中“that”指代空前句的内容。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据空后句“I feel my heart race, my eyes widen and almost automatically(自动地) I start to smile. (我感到心跳加速，眼睛睁得大大的，几乎不由自主地开始微笑。)”可知，作者在试图描述自己的感受。B项“It is difficult to describe such feelings. (这种感觉很难描述。)”符合下文语意。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The journey was hard. It rained heavily every afternoon. He was cold and wet for nearly the entire trip. (旅途艰辛。每天下午都下大雨。他几乎全程都是又冷又湿的。)”以及空后““Each day was as exciting as the next as almost all the birds I saw were new to me.” he said. (“每一天都一样令人兴奋，因为几乎所有我看到的鸟对我来说都是新的。 ”他说。)”可知，前文讲述一次艰难的野外拍摄鸟儿之行，后面讲每天都很令人兴奋，说明空处应为转折点。F项“However, he was able to find many new locations for the species. (然而，他能够找到许多物种新的栖息地。)”符合前后的对照关系。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Such photos of birds or other animals can help raise awareness to protect animals. (这种鸟类或其他动物的照片有助于提高保护动物的意识。)”以及空后“Goenarto said. “ They inspire people to learn more about what is out there and why it’s worth saving.” (Goenarto说， “它们激励人们更多地了解外面有什么，以及为什么它值得被拯救。” )”可知，D项“Wildlife photography can capture amazing moments in nature. (野生动物摄影可以捕捉到大自然中令人惊叹的瞬间。)”即承接上文“Such photos of birds or other animals”，又引起下文“They inspire people to learn more”。且空后句的“they”指代D项的“amazing moments in nature”。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along an iPad.

It was the school’s annual talent show, and I’d practiced the violin piece Lullaby for three months — until my fingertips had calluses and the melody played in my dreams. My mom sat in the front row, holding the bouquet of sunflowers she’d promised to give me if I didn’t freeze up. I took a deep breath and began. The first notes flowed soft, like raindrops on a window, and I started to relax. For a moment, I forgot about the audience, forgot about the pressure to be perfect. But halfway through the chorus, a sharp snap cut through the music. My E string (琴弦) had broken. Time stopped. The audience went quiet — so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat thudding in my ears. I stared at the broken string, my mind blank. All those hours of practice, all the times I’d told myself I could do this…it felt like it was all falling apart. I wanted to run off stage, to hide behind the curtains where no one could see me. My mom leaned forward in her seat, her smile gone, her eyes wide with worry. I sat there, frozen, for what felt like forever. The violin felt heavy in my hands, like a weight I couldn’t hold anymore. Then, from the back of the auditorium, someone clapped — a slow, gentle clap. Then another. Soon, the whole room was clapping, soft at first, then louder, like a wave rolling toward me. I looked up, and saw Mia, the girl who’d helped me fix my violin last week, grinning and nodding. “You got this!” she mouthed. My hands stopped shaking. I set the violin down, stood up, and walked to the edge of the stage. The clapping died down, and everyone waited, their eyes on me. I took a deep breath, opened my mouth. 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。 I sang Lullaby’s melody, voice shaky at first but growing stronger. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mia rushed to the stage, holding an extra violin string for emergency. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I sang Lullaby’s melody voice shaky at first but growing stronger. The clapping faded, and the auditorium filled with silence — warm, not harsh, like the hush before dawn. I closed my eyes, letting the tune flow not from strings, but from the months of practice etched in my heart. When the last note hung in the air, the room erupted again, louder this time. My mom was wiping her eyes, and Mia was cheering so hard her face turned pink. I realized growth isn’t about never breaking — it’s about finding a new way to play. Mia rushed to the stage, holding an extra violin string for emergency. We fixed it together, her hands steadying mine, and when I played a short, bright snippet again, it felt like a celebration. Later, mom handed me the sunflowers. “You didn’t just perform,” she said. “You learned to adapt.” That night, I understood: the broken string wasn’t a failure. It was the push I needed to stop fearing mistakes — and start growing through them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以才艺秀小提琴比赛为线索展开，讲述作者在校园才艺秀演奏小提琴时E弦突然断裂，陷入崩溃时，观众为她鼓掌打气，她走到舞台边缘准备做出新的尝试。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我唱起了《摇篮曲》的旋律，起初声音有些颤抖，但越来越响亮。”可知，第一段可描写作者放下小提琴后，用歌声完成了演奏，从最初的忐忑到逐渐投入，最终赢得了观众更热烈的反响，也让自己懂得了变通的意义。 ②由第二段首句内容“米娅冲到舞台上，拿着一根备用的应急琴弦。”可知，第二段可描写米娅帮作者换上新弦，作者再次演奏片段，赛后母亲送上向日葵并肯定了她的表现，让作者明白断裂的弦不是失败，而是成长的契机。 2. 续写线索： 开口演唱——赢得掌声——更换琴弦——再次演奏——领悟成长 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①领悟：realize/come to understand/grasp ②修理：fix/mend/repair ③停止：stop/cease 情绪类 ①欢呼：cheer/hail ②害怕：fear/dread  【点睛】[高分句型1] I closed my eyes, letting the tune flow not from strings, but from the months of practice etched in my heart.（运用了现在分词letting作伴随状语和过去分词短语etched作后置定语） [高分句型2] We fixed it together, her hands steadying mine, and when I played a short, bright snippet again, it felt like a celebration.（运用了独立主格结构作状语和从属连词when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] It was the push I needed to stop fearing mistakes — and start growing through them.（运用了省略关系代词的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 郧阳中学2025级高二年级上学期暑假自主学习检测 英语试卷 本试题卷共八页，四部分共67题，全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 祝考试顺利 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷和答题卡上的非答案区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上的对应区域内。写在试卷和答题卡上的非答案区域均无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Many of America’s state-high points lie in national parks, welcoming hikers, climbers, and drivers with breathtaking views. Alaska: Mount McKinley in Denali National Park The peak of Mount McKinley, located on the Alaska-Canada border, is not only the highest point in Alaska, but also on the continent of North America. The mountain, which is a world-famous destination for mountaineers, is so tall that it can be seen towering over the Alaska landscape by astronauts in space! California: Mt. Whitney in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks Known as the tallest mountain in the “lower 48” states, Mt. Whitney is located on the far eastern boundary of Sequoia National Park. Requiring a permit before setting out, it is one of the most popular climbed mountain peaks in the Sierra Nevada with a height of 14, 494 feet. Tennessee: Clingmans Dome in Great Smoky Mountains National Park At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the state. Most visitors drive to the top of the mountain if weather and conditions permit. On clear days, you can see more than 100 miles of a 360-degree breathtaking view from the mountain’s observation tower. Washington: Mount Rainier in Mount Rainier National Park Mount Rainier stands 14, 410 feet above sea level making it hard to miss. An active volcano, it is the highest mountain in the Cascade Range and the Cascade Volcanic Arc and poses an exciting challenge for prepared mountaineers. 1. What do we know about Mount McKinley? A. It is visible from space due to its height. B. It is easy for visitors to drive to its top. C. It is the highest on the continent of America. D. It is an active volcano on the US-Canada border. 2.

They require professional climbing skills. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A book review. B. A research paper. C. A travel guidebook. D. An educational website. B The stars were always within reach for Katherine Johnson. Using her mathematics skills, she helped NASA send astronauts to the moon and return them safely home. Johnson was born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in 1918. Math came easy to her. She started high school when she was just 10 years old and college when she was 15. After graduating with honors at 18, Johnson taught black students math. Later she continued to study math at West Virginia University but left early to raise a family and return to teaching. In 1952, when she was 34 years old, she learned about jobs for black women with mathematics and computing skills at the Langley Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (航空学), which would later become NASA. She and the other women worked as “human computers,” figuring out the difficult calculations (计算) needed for spaceflight. During her time there, she broke racial (种族的) barriers, like using the bathroom that was supposed to be for white women only. One of her biggest achievements at NASA was helping calculate the path of the country’s first human spaceflight in 1961, making sure astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr. had a safe trip. A year later she helped figure out John Glenn’s orbit of the planet, another American first. In 1969, she calculated the path of Neil Armstrong’s historic mission to the moon on Apollo 11. Yet unlike the white male astronauts she helped launch into space, no one knew of the groundbreaking work Johnson and many other black women did for NASA and space exploration. It wasn’t until the 2016 launch of the movie Hidden Figures that these women received widespread recognition. Johnson died in 2020, at the age of 101. In her honor, NASA built the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility at the Langley Research Center to celebrate the hard work she did. 4. What can be inferred about Johnson? A. She hesitated before raising a family. B. She showed extraordinary talent in math. C. She struggled with teaching black students. D. She received many honors during her teaching career. 5. What did Johnson do at NASA? A. She studied racial barriers. B. She calculated spaceflight paths. C. She led physical training programs. D. She designed astronauts’ bathrooms. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The variety of spaceflight projects. B. The courage of American astronauts. C. The desire of NASA’s administrators (管理人员). D. The significance of Johnson’s achievements. 7. What helped Johnson win the public’s attention? A. Her public speech. B. Her story in a movie. C. Support from black women. D. Recommendations by scientists. C “Alexa, turn on the lights.” Consumers (消费者) like the idea that a simple voice command (命令) like this can make their home a place of simplicity, where having a simple conversation with a human-like personal assistant such as Amazon’s Alexa, completes small tasks like turning on the lights, changing the temperature, or checking the weather. While a number of voice-activated smart home systems have proved to be popular with consumers, the introduction of hands-free gesture (手势) control systems presents a different option for homeowners. Chicago-based Fibaro offers the Fibaro Swipe, a wireless gesture control pad that performs tasks and controls smart home devices with the wave of a hand. The device recognizes six gestures — up, down, left, right, circle to the left, and circle to the right, or can be programmed with more complex sequences (序列). “We developed Swipe to offer an entirely new way of interacting with technology in the home,” said Rich Bira, managing director of Fibaro USA. “Smart home consumers no longer have to worry about having their smartphone beside them at home to control their devices and ‘scenes’— Swipe will deliver a no-touch access point to control them all.” A similar product, Bixi, is also making its way into the homes of consumers. It’s the first able (便携式的) hand-gesture recognition device from France-based technology startup Biuemint Labs. It connects to phones, pads and smart home devices through Bluetooth and recognizes gestures for contact-less use. If your hands are dirty from cooking but you need to scroll (滚动) down to see the rest of a recipe (菜谱), Bixi will recognize the hand gestures to perform the action for you. “We’ve created Bixi to remove the inconvenience of having to physically interact with a touch screen, removing the need to touch or even be in front of your device,” says Vijayaraghavan Narayanan, founder and CEO of Bluemint Labs. Will gesture-controlled smart home control systems outperform those that are voice-activated? Let’s wait and see. 8. Why does the author mention Alexa at the beginning? A. To introduce a new smart home device. B. To stress the need for voice-activated systems. C. To lead up to a discussion on hands-free devices. D. To encourage consumers to use voice commands. 9. How does the author support the idea presented in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes. C. By stating arguments. D. By making comparisons. 10. What problem does Bixi aim to solve? A. Smartphone connection. B. Trouble with touch screens. C. Problems of movement recognition. D. Difficulty in programming different gestures. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Are Voice-Activated Smart Homes on the Rise? B. Fibaro Swipe: A New Age in Smart Home Interaction C. Are Gesture-Control Devices the Next Big Thing in Home Tech? D. Bluem int Labs: The Answer to Touch-Free Interaction with Smart Devices D While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural (人工神经的) networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice. When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future! But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The father of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer-generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz, developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it. AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer, and I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: can we reproduce creativity using a computer? Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected. 12. What plays an important role in producing PROTO? A. Holly’s special voice. B.

It was the school’s annual talent show, and I’d practiced the violin piece Lullaby for three months — until my fingertips had calluses and the melody played in my dreams. My mom sat in the front row, holding the bouquet of sunflowers she’d promised to give me if I didn’t freeze up. I took a deep breath and began. The first notes flowed soft, like raindrops on a window, and I started to relax. For a moment, I forgot about the audience, forgot about the pressure to be perfect. But halfway through the chorus, a sharp snap cut through the music. My E string (琴弦) had broken. Time stopped. The audience went quiet — so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat thudding in my ears. I stared at the broken string, my mind blank. All those hours of practice, all the times I’d told myself I could do this…it felt like it was all falling apart. I wanted to run off stage, to hide behind the curtains where no one could see me. My mom leaned forward in her seat, her smile gone, her eyes wide with worry. I sat there, frozen, for what felt like forever. The violin felt heavy in my hands, like a weight I couldn’t hold anymore. Then, from the back of the auditorium, someone clapped — a slow, gentle clap. Then another. Soon, the whole room was clapping, soft at first, then louder, like a wave rolling toward me. I looked up, and saw Mia, the girl who’d helped me fix my violin last week, grinning and nodding. “You got this!” she mouthed. My hands stopped shaking. I set the violin down, stood up, and walked to the edge of the stage. The clapping died down, and everyone waited, their eyes on me. I took a deep breath, opened my mouth. 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。 I sang Lullaby’s melody, voice shaky at first but growing stronger. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mia rushed to the stage, holding an extra violin string for emergency. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
