Today we'll be looking at food scientists who have come up with a waste free way to produce chocolate around the world. About six million tons of chocolate are expected to be eaten this year, and every mouthful comes from the coco bean, which is found inside the coco fruit. Normally, when the bean is gathered in, the rest of the fruit is thrown away. But researchers in switzerland have developed a coco fruit that won't be wasted. This is because the entire fruit can be used in the production of chocolate. For an industry currently worth about one hundred and thirty billion dollars in the world, this could be a game changer. AmErica of loan is projected to reach twenty two point three billion dollars by two thousand and thirty. So this invention is important for both fighting food waste and gaining business profits. And I have visited a coco farm in ghana to learn more about how the coco fruit is grown. Later in the program, i'll be speaking to several food scientists. Welcome to world farming. today.

Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm (使镇静) him. “It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son,” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline, but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.” The day was saved by Delta flight attendant (空乘人员) Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane. That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time. “When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post, which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn’t judge (评价), and she just showed love. We need more people like this in the world.” It wasn’t long before Amburgy was told about the post. “We’re there to help, and that’s what we want to do,” she said in an interview. “So, we always want to make anything easier for the family as well as other passengers. She also shared what she felt when she read Redding’s story. When I read it, it touched my heart. It’s something I would do for anyone on the plane, because that’s what I’m here for. It really made a difference in her life.” 24．Where is Sonja Redding from? A．New York. B．Nebraska. C．Nevada. D．Washington, D．C 25．How did Redding feel on the plane? A．Tired. B．Uncomfortable. C．Deeply afraid. D．Very angry. 26．What did Amburgy do to help the family? A．She tried her best to calm the boy. B．She helped look after the other boy. C．She asked the family to stay beside her. D．She asked the other passengers for help. 27．Why did Redding post the story? A．To help kids with autism. B．To show her thanks. C．To get in touch with Amburgy. D．To share her travel experience. 28．Which of the following words can best describe Amburgy? A．Proud. B．Honest. C．Warm-hearted. D．Hard-working. 【答案】24．B 25．B 26．A 27．B 28．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了一位母亲在飞机上因患有自闭症的儿子哭闹而受到其他乘客误解，空乘人员Amanda Amburgy主动帮助安抚孩子，让这位母亲深受感动并公开表达感谢的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sonja Redding and her family were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska (Sonja Redding和她的家人正在回内布拉斯加州奥马哈的途中)”可知，Sonja Redding来自内布拉斯加州。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中““It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son,” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline, but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.”(“感觉飞机上的每个人都在看着我们，并且对我儿子感到生气，”她在回家后发布的一篇脸书帖子中写道。“当别人就是不明白他不是一个没有纪律的孩子，而是一个不知道如何控制自己的有特殊需求的孩子时，我不知道该怎么办。”)”可知，飞机上其它乘客不了解情况，不理解，这让Redding感到不知所措，感到不自在和尴尬。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane. That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time. (她试图帮助Xayvior看电影，但失败了，于是她提出带他去参观飞机。这奏效了，很快这个孩子不仅平静下来，而且玩得很开心)”可知，Amburgy想了很多办法，尽力安抚了男孩。 27．推理判断题。根据第五段中“I want to thank this Delta attendant. (我想感谢这位达美航空的空乘人员)”以及后文对空乘的称赞可知，Redding发帖是为了表达感谢。 28．推理判断题。根据第四段中空乘Amburgy主动帮助安抚孩子，以及第五段中“She didn’t judge (评价), and she just showed love. (她没有评判，只是表达了爱)”可推知，Amburgy是一个热心肠的人。 C When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat. However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor. “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining(改进) heat distribution control methods. “Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 29．What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A．To reduce winter heating costs. B．To capture thermal energy from soil. C．To store underground heat for later use. D．To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 30．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A．Phase change makes heat control possible. B．Hydraulic losses can be totally avoided by heat transfer. C．Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D．Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 31．What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A．Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B．Developing test models with improved control. C．Applying the technology to residential sectors. D．Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 32．Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A．From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B．Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C．A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D．The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage 【答案】29．C 30．A 31．B 32．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了考纳斯理工大学的研究团队研发出一种利用土壤储存热能的创新方案，介绍了研究的探索过程、相变储热原理、实验验证以及现阶段为推广落地所开展的优化工作。 【详解】29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks.(他们研究的核心是一种地下热能储存器，能够将剩余能量储存在地下，并在需求高峰时释放使用。)”可知，该项目旨在将热能储存于地下，供后续需要时使用。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.(相变可以是一种高效的方式。我们注意到，只要有蒸汽流动到达的地方，温度就会急剧上升。这意味着能量正在流动，并且可以被控制。)”可知，相变过程中产生的蒸汽流动让热量可控，由此可推断相变使热量调控成为可能。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.(为了让这些地下储存系统得到广泛应用，研究人员目前正在开发缩小的试验模型，并改进热能分配控制方法。)”可知，研究人员正在开发试验模型并优化控制方法。 32．主旨大意题。文章主旨句为首段中的“Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy storage system.(考纳斯理工大学的研究人员在我们脚下发现了一种创新方案：利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统。)”，因此全文围绕地下土壤储存热能这一核心内容展开，介绍研究过程、实验与落地规划。D项表示“脚下大地：储热领域的新前沿”，精准概括了这一主题，适合作本文的标题。 D China has completed construction of the world’s first wind-powered underwater data center (UDC), which could transform how the vast digital infrastructure (基础设施) driving AI, cloud computing and big data is powered. Located in the Lin-gang Special Area, Shanghai, the project is being hailed as a milestone in the integration of offshore renewable energy with next-generation computing. The facility features a total power capacity of 24 megawatts (MW) and draws about 97 percent of its electricity from offshore wind. It is cooled using ocean water that flows through its 198 radiator (散热器) -equipped frames. This significantly reduces both energy consumption and land use. For comparison, traditional land-based data centers require up to 40 percent of the power supply for cooling alone. According to the administrative committee of the Lin-gang Special Area, the new facility’s completion represents a turning point in the green and smart advancement of computing infrastructure. In contrast to traditional land-based data centers, the UDC is made to cut overall power consumption by nearly 23 percent. It also eliminates water use entirely and reduces land requirements by over 90 percent. Instead of relying on massive air-conditioning systems, the underwater data center uses seawater as a natural cooling medium. This brings cooling-related energy use down to below 10 percent. The project is part of Shanghai’s broader goal to turn the coastal region into a global smart computing and clean energy innovation center. It also plans to reach a total computing capacity of 200 exaFLOPS. This is equal to one quintillion (百万的三次方) floating point operations per second. For reference, in 2021, Tesla’s supercomputer achieved 1.8 exaFLOPS. However, experts note that although the technology holds great promise, further development is required before large-scale application becomes cost-effective. “Construction of UDCs is still in its initial stage,” Wang Shifeng, chairman of Third Harbor Engineering, said. “To achieve the transition from demonstration projects to large-scale application, progress is still required in terms of technological maturity and cost efficiency.” Shifeng added that the company plans to prioritize advances in key technologies for offshore computing infrastructure, improve operations and maintenance and pursue greener, low-carbon upgrades. 33．What does the underlined word “hailed” probably mean in paragraph 1? A．Praised. B．Confirmed. C．Challenged. D．Guaranteed. 34．What is the main comparative advantage of the UDC? A．It relies on wind and seawater power. B．It has more radiators for heat removal. C．It saves plenty of energy, water and land. D．It needs less land but is harder to maintain. 35．Why does the author mention Tesla’s supercomputer? A．To prove the UDC’s leading position in computing. B．To show the growth of the supercomputing industry. C．To stress the difficulty of achieving 200 exaFLOPS. D．To help readers understand the scale of the target. 36．What is Wang Shifeng’s attitude towards the future of UDCs? A．Extremely confident. B．Slightly disapproving. C．Cautiously optimistic. D．Practically concerned. 【答案】33．A 34．C 35．D 36．C 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了我国建成全球首个风电海底数据中心，依托海风、海水冷却大幅节约能耗水土，算力规划可观；但技术尚初级，大规模落地仍需突破技术与成本难关。 【详解】33．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“China has completed construction of the world’s first wind-powered underwater data center (UDC), which could transform how the vast digital infrastructure (基础设施) driving AI, cloud computing and big data is powered.(中国已完成全球首个风能驱动的海底数据中心（UDC）建设，这有望彻底改变支撑人工智能、云计算和大数据的庞大数字基础设施的供电方式。)”以及划线单词句中“Located in the Lin-gang Special Area, Shanghai, the project is being … as a milestone in the integration of offshore renewable energy with next-generation computing.(该项目位于上海临港新片区，被……海上可再生能源与下一代算力相结合的里程碑。)”由此可知，句中搭配be hailed as 意为“被誉为、被称赞为”，该项目被称作海上可再生能源与下一代算力融合的里程碑，与praised“称赞、赞誉”含义最接近。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“In contrast to traditional land-based data centers, the UDC is made to cut overall power consumption by nearly 23 percent. It also eliminates water use entirely and reduces land requirements by over 90 percent.(与传统的陆基数据中心相比，UDC的总功耗降低了近23%。它还完全消除了水的使用，并减少了90%以上的土地需求。)”可知，水下数据中心对比传统陆基数据中心，核心优势体现在三个维度：整体能耗降低近 23%、完全零用水、土地需求减少 90% 以上，即大幅节约能源、水资源与土地资源。 35．推理判断题。根据第五段中“It also plans to reach a total computing capacity of 200 exaFLOPS. This is equal to one quintillion (百万的三次方) floating point operations per second. For reference, in 2021, Tesla’s supercomputer achieved 1.8 exaFLOPS.( 此外，项目计划实现总计算能力达200 exaFLOPS，相当于每秒执行1百亿亿次浮点运算。作为参考，2021年，特斯拉的超级计算机实现了1.8 exaFLOPS。)”可知，作者先提出上海 200 exaFLOPS 的算力目标，再以特斯拉超算的 1.8 exaFLOPS 作为参照，目的是通过读者相对熟悉的对象，帮助读者直观理解该算力目标的规模量级。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, experts note that although the technology holds great promise, further development is required before large-scale application becomes cost-effective. “Construction of UDCs is still in its initial stage,” Wang Shifeng, chairman of Third Harbor Engineering, said. “To achieve the transition from demonstration projects to large-scale application, progress is still required in terms of technological maturity and cost efficiency.”(不过，专家指出，尽管这项技术前景广阔，但在大规模应用达到成本效益之前，仍需进一步发展。“海底数据中心的建设目前仍处于初期阶段，”中交第三航务工程局董事长王世峰表示，“要实现从示范项目向大规模应用的过渡，仍需在技术成熟度和成本效益方面取得进展。”)”可知，王世峰一方面认可该技术前景广阔，另一方面也指出其仍处于初期阶段，大规模落地还需在技术成熟度、成本效率上取得突破，整体态度是谨慎乐观的。 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。 When you think of reading, you might picture yourself comfortably seated with a book on a drizzly afternoon or visiting a library or bookstore. Many adults read, with approximately 74% having read at least one book. 37 On average, adults spend merely 7 to 18 minutes reading per day, except for those over 65, who spend 35 to 51 minutes. People read for various purposes: for enjoyment, for knowledge acquisition, or to keep themselves informed. 38 It is a personal activity that can bring joy, promote mental relaxation, and help you grow.

I spent the whole summer with my face in the screen. I didn’t pay attention to my family or the things around me. Being online was more important than being with people. So, you can guess how unhappy I was when I learned what my dad planned for our family vacation that year. “This year, ” my dad said, “we’re going to do something special. We’re going camping!” It was not my dream vacation because I was still thinking about my phone. In fact, I was so busy looking at my phone that I didn’t look up until we drove across a bridge to the campsite. I looked out of the window and saw tall redwood trees. Their branches (树枝) seemed to touch the sky. I saw a river, with dark water showing between the white rapids (激流). The air from the open windows was hot. But none of that caught my eye. The reason I looked up was much more serious: my phone had no service (网络信号). The last hour in the car was hard. My dad said he had chosen a campsite with no cell service, and my phone would be useless until we got home. I would be stuck in the forest for four days with no way to reach the outside world! On the first day, I went through every teenage feeling: I was angry, I asked for help, and I kept going between sadness and anger. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I woke up in the morning, something had changed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右，可参考文中加粗词汇部分； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stopped looking at my phone and started looking around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next days went by fast because we did many fun things. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I stopped looking at my phone and started looking around me. I walked out of the tent and saw how beautiful the forest was. The trees stood tall and quiet. Birds sang in the morning light. I saw a small river running beside the campsite. The water was so clear that I could see the stones at the bottom. For the first time, I felt peace. My dad came over with a smile. “Want to go for a walk?” he asked. I nodded. We walked along the river and talked about many things. I didn’t think about my phone at all. It felt good to just be there with him. The next days went by fast because we did many fun things. We went fishing and I caught my first fish. Dad taught me how to make a fire. We cooked together and ate under the stars. At night, we sat by the fire and told stories. I even made friends with other kids at the campsite. We played games and ran through the forest. I laughed more than I had in a long time. When it was time to go home, I felt sad to leave. On the way back, I looked at my phone but didn’t turn it on. I just looked out the window and smiled. I realized that being present is better than being online. 【导语】本文以一次家庭露营为线索展开，讲述了作者沉迷手机、抗拒无信号的露营安排，却在失去网络信号后，被迫放下手机，重新发现自然与家人陪伴的美好，最终领悟到“陪伴比手机更重要”的道理。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写“我”走出帐篷，开始观察森林的自然景色，在晨光、鸟鸣和清溪中感受到平静，并与父亲一起散步交谈，逐渐放下对手机的执念。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写“我”和家人一起开展的露营活动，在与家人和新朋友的相处中感受到快乐，最终在回家路上领悟到“陪伴比手机更重要”的道理。 2. 续写线索： 走出帐篷→观察自然→感受平静→与父亲散步→参与活动→交新朋友→领悟陪伴的可贵 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 看见：see/catch sight of ② 走进：come over/approach 情绪类 ① 平静：peace/calmness ② 伤心的：sad/sorrowful 【点睛】【高分句型1】I walked out of the tent and saw how beautiful the forest was.(运用了how 引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】The water was so clear that I could see the stones at the bottom.(运用了so…that…引导的结果状语从句) 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第一册英语单元自测 Unit 4 Meeting the muse 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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1.5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。 1．What is the man trying to do?

B Sonja Redding and her family were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska, after a week-long visit to Washington, D．C．, with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism (自闭症). Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm (使镇静) him. “It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son,” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline, but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.” The day was saved by Delta flight attendant (空乘人员) Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane. That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time. “When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post, which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn’t judge (评价), and she just showed love. We need more people like this in the world.” It wasn’t long before Amburgy was told about the post. “We’re there to help, and that’s what we want to do,” she said in an interview. “So, we always want to make anything easier for the family as well as other passengers. She also shared what she felt when she read Redding’s story. When I read it, it touched my heart. It’s something I would do for anyone on the plane, because that’s what I’m here for.

C When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat. However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor. “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining(改进) heat distribution control methods. “Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 29．What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A．To reduce winter heating costs. B．To capture thermal energy from soil. C．To store underground heat for later use. D．To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 30．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A．Phase change makes heat control possible. B．Hydraulic losses can be totally avoided by heat transfer. C．Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D．Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 31．What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A．Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B．Developing test models with improved control. C．Applying the technology to residential sectors. D．Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 32．Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A．From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B．Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C．A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D．The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage D China has completed construction of the world’s first wind-powered underwater data center (UDC), which could transform how the vast digital infrastructure (基础设施) driving AI, cloud computing and big data is powered. Located in the Lin-gang Special Area, Shanghai, the project is being hailed as a milestone in the integration of offshore renewable energy with next-generation computing. The facility features a total power capacity of 24 megawatts (MW) and draws about 97 percent of its electricity from offshore wind. It is cooled using ocean water that flows through its 198 radiator (散热器) -equipped frames. This significantly reduces both energy consumption and land use. For comparison, traditional land-based data centers require up to 40 percent of the power supply for cooling alone. According to the administrative committee of the Lin-gang Special Area, the new facility’s completion represents a turning point in the green and smart advancement of computing infrastructure. In contrast to traditional land-based data centers, the UDC is made to cut overall power consumption by nearly 23 percent. It also eliminates water use entirely and reduces land requirements by over 90 percent. Instead of relying on massive air-conditioning systems, the underwater data center uses seawater as a natural cooling medium. This brings cooling-related energy use down to below 10 percent. The project is part of Shanghai’s broader goal to turn the coastal region into a global smart computing and clean energy innovation center. It also plans to reach a total computing capacity of 200 exaFLOPS. This is equal to one quintillion (百万的三次方) floating point operations per second. For reference, in 2021, Tesla’s supercomputer achieved 1.8 exaFLOPS. However, experts note that although the technology holds great promise, further development is required before large-scale application becomes cost-effective. “Construction of UDCs is still in its initial stage,” Wang Shifeng, chairman of Third Harbor Engineering, said. “To achieve the transition from demonstration projects to large-scale application, progress is still required in terms of technological maturity and cost efficiency.” Shifeng added that the company plans to prioritize advances in key technologies for offshore computing infrastructure, improve operations and maintenance and pursue greener, low-carbon upgrades. 33．What does the underlined word “hailed” probably mean in paragraph 1? A．Praised. B．Confirmed. C．Challenged. D．Guaranteed. 34．What is the main comparative advantage of the UDC? A．It relies on wind and seawater power. B．It has more radiators for heat removal. C．It saves plenty of energy, water and land. D．It needs less land but is harder to maintain. 35．Why does the author mention Tesla’s supercomputer? A．To prove the UDC’s leading position in computing. B．To show the growth of the supercomputing industry. C．To stress the difficulty of achieving 200 exaFLOPS. D．To help readers understand the scale of the target. 36．What is Wang Shifeng’s attitude towards the future of UDCs? A．Extremely confident. B．Slightly disapproving. C．Cautiously optimistic. D．Practically concerned. 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。 When you think of reading, you might picture yourself comfortably seated with a book on a drizzly afternoon or visiting a library or bookstore. Many adults read, with approximately 74% having read at least one book. 37 On average, adults spend merely 7 to 18 minutes reading per day, except for those over 65, who spend 35 to 51 minutes. People read for various purposes: for enjoyment, for knowledge acquisition, or to keep themselves informed. 38 It is a personal activity that can bring joy, promote mental relaxation, and help you grow. Even if you feel too busy, read slowly, or do not enjoy it yet, reading can still prove valuable in your everyday life. One notable advantage of reading is the enrichment of your vocabulary. 39 Using these words can make your writing and speaking better, and it can also make you sound smarter. Reading also deepens your understanding of the world. Both fiction and non-fiction offer insights into history, culture, science, mental health, leadership, and beyond. 40 With many genres — biographies, historical stories, adventure, drama, self-help, and business — you can always find books that introduce fresh perspectives. Finally, reading serves as a tool for stress reduction and imaginative expansion. Unlike reading for school or work, reading for fun lets you take a break, relax, and enjoy a story. 41 Reading is not merely about learning words — it is a way to grow, reflect, and imagine beyond daily routine. A．It helps you think clearly and feel calm. B．Yet, their daily reading time is surprisingly low. C．In fact, many people buy books but never read them. D．Reading aloud helps improve your pronunciation greatly. E．You can use this knowledge in school, work, or personal life. F．Reading for enjoyment lets you choose what interests you most. G．You can learn new words naturally from the books or articles you read. 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。 Most 10-year-olds spend their free time playing video games, but Ernesto is different.

I spent the whole summer with my face in the screen. I didn’t pay attention to my family or the things around me. Being online was more important than being with people. So, you can guess how unhappy I was when I learned what my dad planned for our family vacation that year. “This year, ” my dad said, “we’re going to do something special. We’re going camping!” It was not my dream vacation because I was still thinking about my phone. In fact, I was so busy looking at my phone that I didn’t look up until we drove across a bridge to the campsite. I looked out of the window and saw tall redwood trees. Their branches (树枝) seemed to touch the sky. I saw a river, with dark water showing between the white rapids (激流). The air from the open windows was hot. But none of that caught my eye. The reason I looked up was much more serious: my phone had no service (网络信号). The last hour in the car was hard. My dad said he had chosen a campsite with no cell service, and my phone would be useless until we got home. I would be stuck in the forest for four days with no way to reach the outside world! On the first day, I went through every teenage feeling: I was angry, I asked for help, and I kept going between sadness and anger. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I woke up in the morning, something had changed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右，可参考文中加粗词汇部分； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stopped looking at my phone and started looking around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next days went by fast because we did many fun things. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共12页） 试题 第4页（共12页） 试题 第1页（共12页） 试题 第2页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第一册英语单元自测 Unit 4 Meeting the muse 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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1.5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。 1．What is the man trying to do?

B Sonja Redding and her family were on their way home to Omaha, Nebraska, after a week-long visit to Washington, D．C．, with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism (自闭症). Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm (使镇静) him. “It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son,” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline, but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.” The day was saved by Delta flight attendant (空乘人员) Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane. That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time. “When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post, which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant. She didn’t judge (评价), and she just showed love. We need more people like this in the world.” It wasn’t long before Amburgy was told about the post. “We’re there to help, and that’s what we want to do,” she said in an interview. “So, we always want to make anything easier for the family as well as other passengers. She also shared what she felt when she read Redding’s story. When I read it, it touched my heart. It’s something I would do for anyone on the plane, because that’s what I’m here for. It really made a difference in her life.” 24．Where is Sonja Redding from? A．New York. B．Nebraska. C．Nevada. D．Washington, D．C 25．How did Redding feel on the plane? A．Tired. B．Uncomfortable.

C When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat. However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor. “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining(改进) heat distribution control methods. “Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 29．What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A．To reduce winter heating costs. B．To capture thermal energy from soil. C．To store underground heat for later use. D．To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 30．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A．Phase change makes heat control possible. B．Hydraulic losses can be totally avoided by heat transfer. C．Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D．Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 31．What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A．Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B．Developing test models with improved control. C．Applying the technology to residential sectors. D．Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 32．Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A．From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B．Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C．A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D．The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage D China has completed construction of the world’s first wind-powered underwater data center (UDC), which could transform how the vast digital infrastructure (基础设施) driving AI, cloud computing and big data is powered. Located in the Lin-gang Special Area, Shanghai, the project is being hailed as a milestone in the integration of offshore renewable energy with next-generation computing. The facility features a total power capacity of 24 megawatts (MW) and draws about 97 percent of its electricity from offshore wind. It is cooled using ocean water that flows through its 198 radiator (散热器) -equipped frames. This significantly reduces both energy consumption and land use. For comparison, traditional land-based data centers require up to 40 percent of the power supply for cooling alone. According to the administrative committee of the Lin-gang Special Area, the new facility’s completion represents a turning point in the green and smart advancement of computing infrastructure. In contrast to traditional land-based data centers, the UDC is made to cut overall power consumption by nearly 23 percent. It also eliminates water use entirely and reduces land requirements by over 90 percent. Instead of relying on massive air-conditioning systems, the underwater data center uses seawater as a natural cooling medium. This brings cooling-related energy use down to below 10 percent. The project is part of Shanghai’s broader goal to turn the coastal region into a global smart computing and clean energy innovation center. It also plans to reach a total computing capacity of 200 exaFLOPS. This is equal to one quintillion (百万的三次方) floating point operations per second. For reference, in 2021, Tesla’s supercomputer achieved 1.8 exaFLOPS. However, experts note that although the technology holds great promise, further development is required before large-scale application becomes cost-effective. “Construction of UDCs is still in its initial stage,” Wang Shifeng, chairman of Third Harbor Engineering, said. “To achieve the transition from demonstration projects to large-scale application, progress is still required in terms of technological maturity and cost efficiency.” Shifeng added that the company plans to prioritize advances in key technologies for offshore computing infrastructure, improve operations and maintenance and pursue greener, low-carbon upgrades. 33．What does the underlined word “hailed” probably mean in paragraph 1? A．Praised. B．Confirmed. C．Challenged. D．Guaranteed. 34．What is the main comparative advantage of the UDC? A．It relies on wind and seawater power. B．It has more radiators for heat removal. C．It saves plenty of energy, water and land. D．It needs less land but is harder to maintain. 35．Why does the author mention Tesla’s supercomputer? A．To prove the UDC’s leading position in computing. B．To show the growth of the supercomputing industry. C．To stress the difficulty of achieving 200 exaFLOPS. D．To help readers understand the scale of the target. 36．What is Wang Shifeng’s attitude towards the future of UDCs? A．Extremely confident. B．Slightly disapproving. C．Cautiously optimistic. D．Practically concerned. 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。 When you think of reading, you might picture yourself comfortably seated with a book on a drizzly afternoon or visiting a library or bookstore. Many adults read, with approximately 74% having read at least one book. 37 On average, adults spend merely 7 to 18 minutes reading per day, except for those over 65, who spend 35 to 51 minutes. People read for various purposes: for enjoyment, for knowledge acquisition, or to keep themselves informed. 38 It is a personal activity that can bring joy, promote mental relaxation, and help you grow. Even if you feel too busy, read slowly, or do not enjoy it yet, reading can still prove valuable in your everyday life. One notable advantage of reading is the enrichment of your vocabulary. 39 Using these words can make your writing and speaking better, and it can also make you sound smarter. Reading also deepens your understanding of the world. Both fiction and non-fiction offer insights into history, culture, science, mental health, leadership, and beyond. 40 With many genres — biographies, historical stories, adventure, drama, self-help, and business — you can always find books that introduce fresh perspectives. Finally, reading serves as a tool for stress reduction and imaginative expansion. Unlike reading for school or work, reading for fun lets you take a break, relax, and enjoy a story. 41 Reading is not merely about learning words — it is a way to grow, reflect, and imagine beyond daily routine. A．It helps you think clearly and feel calm. B．Yet, their daily reading time is surprisingly low. C．In fact, many people buy books but never read them. D．Reading aloud helps improve your pronunciation greatly. E．You can use this knowledge in school, work, or personal life. F．Reading for enjoyment lets you choose what interests you most.

I spent the whole summer with my face in the screen. I didn’t pay attention to my family or the things around me. Being online was more important than being with people. So, you can guess how unhappy I was when I learned what my dad planned for our family vacation that year. “This year, ” my dad said, “we’re going to do something special. We’re going camping!” It was not my dream vacation because I was still thinking about my phone. In fact, I was so busy looking at my phone that I didn’t look up until we drove across a bridge to the campsite. I looked out of the window and saw tall redwood trees. Their branches (树枝) seemed to touch the sky. I saw a river, with dark water showing between the white rapids (激流). The air from the open windows was hot. But none of that caught my eye. The reason I looked up was much more serious: my phone had no service (网络信号). The last hour in the car was hard. My dad said he had chosen a campsite with no cell service, and my phone would be useless until we got home. I would be stuck in the forest for four days with no way to reach the outside world! On the first day, I went through every teenage feeling: I was angry, I asked for help, and I kept going between sadness and anger. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I woke up in the morning, something had changed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右，可参考文中加粗词汇部分； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stopped looking at my phone and started looking around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next days went by fast because we did many fun things. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第一册英语单元自测 Unit 4 Meeting the muse 第一部分 听力（满分30分） 1‑5：B C A B C 6‑10：B C B A A 11‑15：C A C B A 16‑20：B A A C B 第二部分 阅读（满分50分） 第一节（满分37.5分） 21‑23：C D A 24‑28：B B A B C 29‑32：C A B D 33‑36：A C D C 第二节（七选五，满分12.5分） 37‑41：B F G E A 第三部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（满分15分） 42‑46：C A D C B 47‑51：D C B B A 52‑56：D A D B C 第二节 语法填空（满分15分） 57.With 58.but 59.that/which 60.has completed 61.samples 62.tougher 63.However 64.launched 65.an 66.providing 第四部分 写作（满分40分） 第一节 投稿写作（15分） The Influence of Artificial Intelligence With the rapid development of technology, artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in our work, study and daily life. In modern workplaces, AI can handle repetitive and complicated tasks efficiently. For students, intelligent learning platforms provide personalized learning plans and rich learning resources, allowing us to study whenever and wherever we want. In daily life, online intelligent services greatly bring convenience to our daily routines. However, every coin has two sides. If we rely on AI too much, we may gradually lose the ability of independent thinking.     As far as I am concerned, we should make use of its advantages rather than become overly dependent on it. Only by using AI wisely can we live a better life in the digital age. 第二节 读后续写（25分） I stopped looking at my phone and started looking around me. I walked out of the tent and saw how beautiful the forest was. The trees stood tall and quiet. Birds sang in the morning light. I saw a small river running beside the campsite. The water was so clear that I could see the stones at the bottom. For the first time, I felt peace. My dad came over with a smile. “Want to go for a walk?” he asked. I nodded. We walked along the river and talked about many things. I didn’t think about my phone at all. It felt good to just be there with him. The next days went by fast because we did many fun things. We went fishing and I caught my first fish. Dad taught me how to make a fire. We cooked together and ate under the stars. At night, we sat by the fire and told stories. I even made friends with other kids at the campsite. We played games and ran through the forest. I laughed more than I had in a long time. When it was time to go home, I felt sad to leave. On the way back, I looked at my phone but didn’t turn it on. I just looked out the window and smiled. I realized that being present is better than being online. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
