B In the scientific world, where the focus is on data and results, it's easy to overlook the human aspect, which I think is crucial for a fruitful research environment. In my laboratory at the University of Lausanne, we turn to a simple technique to enhance our group's connectedness: the flashlight method(手电筒法). This straightforward method of passing a virtual flashlight around the room during our weekly lab meetings has brought about a huge shift in how we all interact. Here's how it works for us: I turn on the flashlight by randomly calling someone's name, and after sharing their thoughts for about 30 to 60 seconds, they name the next person at random until everyone has had their turn. It's called a flashlight because the idea is to shine the spotlight on each person in a group. The team member with the flashlight shares something from the past week, or the one to come —this could be a breakthrough in their project, a professional achievement, or even something from their personal life. Initially, my lab members and I were unsure how the flashlight method would turn out. Would it be too informal? Would it take time away from our scientific discussions? But, to our delight, the results have been wonderful. The flashlight has opened up our meetings and the random nature of it has kept everyone engaged. The increased participation has led to a more comprehensive understanding of each other's research and challenges as we all work towards our team's goal — to understand the complexities of cancer. When someone talks about a tough experiment or shares their excitement about a surprising result, it sets off discussions and uncovers fresh views. I've found that, sometimes, the simplest method can bring about the most effective changes. The flashlight method might seem like a small addition to the meeting agenda but, for us, it has been transformative. It's about more than just sharing updates; it's about creating a space where everyone feels valued and connected. And in the fast‑paced, often high‑pressure scientific research environment, this sense of belonging and understanding can make all the difference. 24. What aspect does the author consider important in a scientific study? A. The group dynamics. B. The scientific breakthrough. C. The fair working environment. D. The availability of modern techniques. 25. What can we know about the flashlight method? A. It replaces traditional meeting agendas. B. It is centered on individual contributions. C. It encourages people to share ideas at random. D. It allows people to work in a virtual environment. 26. What may the author and his team be working on? A. Computer science. B. Medical research. C. Psychological tests. D. Business management. 27. What may the author think of the flashlight method? A. It is environment‑specific. B. It is a temporary success. C.It is far from practical. D. It deserves promotion. C Nearly everyone has fun on a carousel (旋转木马)—including, possibly, fruit flies. Scientists observed some flies riding on a spinning platform voluntarily and repeatedly, suggesting the animals may find the movement appealing for some reason, according to a recent study. Sergio Pellis, a behavioral scientist, notes that it would add to the small but growing pile of evidence for play in invertebrates(无脊椎动物). Co‑author Wolf Huetteroth remembers one day accidentally seeing a lone duck floating down a fast‑moving river. It flew back upriver and floated back down — over and over again."I never stopped wondering what motivated the duck to perform such curious behavior,"he says. Later, when Huetteroth attended a conference where researchers were discussing whether insects can act with intention, he considered testing whether flies would do something similar to the rapids‑running duck. He and his colleague Tilman Triphan then decided to build a carousel of sorts. They offered male laboratory fruit flies the chance to jump onto a spinning section of the floor in a stress‑free environment. He didn't think the flies would actually go for it."My expectations were extremely low,"he says. It turned out that some of the flies ignored the setup, but a small group of them acted as if they'd just discovered Disneyland. Triphan and Huetteroth reported that the small group of the flies spent 5% or more of their time on the turning wheel. When the researchers put two disks that spun every 5 minutes by turns, some flies spent their time bouncing back and forth between whichever carousel was spinning. Fruit flies are excellent spatial learners, Huetteroth notes, so if they didn't like to spin, they could have simply avoided the disks. Were the flies riding the carousels playing?"It's certainly possible," Pellis says. Still, Huetteroth was hesitant to claim that; after all, the flies didn't reveal what stimulated them to spin. However, to Pellis, even invertebrates, like the flies, could be experiencing something similar to what we feel when we ride a carousel."The next steps in solving this riddle may come from studying the flies'brain activity involved in the carousel behavior,"Huetteroth adds. 28. What motivated Wolf Huetteroth to study fruit flies? A. A previous study on the behavior of ducks. B. A duck's repetitive and intentional behavior. C. Encouragement from researchers at a conference. D. Personal experiences with insects in everyday life. 29. What did the researchers find amazing during their experiment? A. The flies showed a great sense of spatial awareness. B. Some flies reacted negatively to the spinning platform. C. The platform was much more successful than expected. D. Some flies were enthusiastic about the spinning platform. 30. What is Huetteroth likely to further investigate? A. The motivation behind the flies' carousel behavior. B. The impact of flies' carousel behavior on their brain. C. The social interactions among flies on the carousel. D. The environmental factors affecting the flies' enjoyment. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Invertebrates might have a good command of spatial skills B. Fruit flies can engage in a series of repetitive actions C. Fruit flies may enjoy taking carousels for a spin D. Invertebrates are much smarter than expected D A team of computer scientists has created a more flexible type of machine language learning model. The AI language engines in use are mostly powered by artificial neural(神经的) networks. AI researchers can create a language model by training the networks. Through training, the information flow between neurons (神经元) improves as the networks adapt to the training data. However, if you want to create a model for two languages, you have to erase the building blocks of words‑‑tokens (标记)‑‑ stored in the first layer of the neural networks, called the embedding layer. After erasing the tokens of the first language, you could retrain the model with the second language. The retraining was quite demanding, so researchers suggested a new technique called the periodic‑forgetting approach: They periodically reset the first layer during the initial round of training. By doing this, the entire model became used to resetting and through selectively forgetting some of its knowledge, it could better learn new languages. The researchers took a commonly used language model called RoBERTa, trained it using their periodic‑forgetting technique, and compared it to the same model's performance when it was trained with the standard approach. The forgetting model did slightly worse. Then they retrained the models on other languages, using much smaller datasets of only 5 million tokens, rather than the 70 billion they used during the first training. The accuracy of the standard model decreased to 53.3 on average, but the forgetting model dropped only to 62.7. The team concluded that periodic forgetting and relearning during training sessions enable language models to achieve a deeper level of understanding of languages, beyond just knowing the meanings of individual words. The approach is akin to how our own brains work."Human memory in general is not very good at accurately storing large amounts of detailed information, but humans tend to remember the main point of our experiences,"said Benjamin Levy, a neuroscientist. Yihong Chen, the lead author of the paper, looks forward to a world where more AI flowers appear."I'm thinking of a situation where the world doesn't need one big language model. We have so many,"she said."If there's a factory making language models, you need this kind of technique. It has one base model that can quickly adapt to new domains." 32. How does the new technique improve the language model for two languages? A. By resetting the embedding layer regularly. B. By improving the efficiency of data input. C. By expanding the tokens from another language. D. By updating the information flow between neurons. 33. Why did the researchers use RoBERTa in their research? A. To facilitate the operation of their model. B. To test the performance of their new technique. C. To extend the general application of language models. D. To find out the drawbacks of the commonly used model. 34. What does the underlined phrase"is akin to"in paragraph 5 mean? A. Be beneficial for. B. Be reliable to. C. Be similar to. D. Be contrary to. 35. What does Yihong Chen expect of the new technique? A. It'll change the way AI systems work. B. It'll transform the computational capabilities of AI. C. It'll help make language models be mass‑produced. D. It'll bring about more language models for various needs. 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。 During low‑intensity and moderate‑intensity exercise (such as walking and cycling), we tend to breathe in through our noses and out through our mouths. Most of us would assume breathing through the mouth is the best technique to use during intense exercise (such as running), as it allows more oxygen to reach our muscles. 36 Studies have shown that when exercising at different intensities, less oxygen is used when breathing through the nose compared to breathing through the mouth. 37 Think of oxygen like fuel for cars. The more miles per gallon of fuel a car covers, the better its "fuel economy"is. Likewise, the less oxygen used per footstep, the less energy a person uses. This means you can run further without becoming tired quickly. Researchers also suggest that breathing through your nose increases the production of nitric oxide (一氧化氮), which benefits the body in several ways. It enhances oxygen delivery to the lungs and muscles by lowering blood pressure and facilitating better blood flow. 38 While these all sound incredibly encouraging, there is some negativity to be aware of. 39 If you introduce it without training first, it could lead to"air hunger"‑ a process whereby a small amount of carbon dioxide is retained (保留) at the end of each breath. This can cause discomfort and overbreathing. As with anything, practice makes perfect. 40 Try and relax into the process. Ensure your tongue is at the top of your mouth, as this relaxes the jaw and face muscles making it easier to draw a deep breath through your nose. You can also alternate between breathing through your nose and your mouth until you get more used to breathing only through your nose. A. But evidence shows the contrary. B. This may not be suitable for other types of exercise. C. It may also provide protection against airborne viruses. D. When learning to breathe through the nose, don't force air in. E. Be sure to breathe through your nose while running next time. F. Breathing only through the nose during exercise is a learned process. G. This could be a real advantage in line with the economy of movement. 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。 Downtown Albany was as busy as usual that stormy January day last year, with no place to park on the street.

The board sat before me, including some high‑school teachers with whom I was not familiar, except for one, Mr. Timmons. He had been my English teacher for two years. Mr. Timmons had a warm smile and genuinely cared for his students. From the first day of my high school year, I knew I'd enjoy his class. It didn't take him long to discover my love of literature. He was impressed that I chose to read the Iliad in my free time. As I progressed and we discussed what I was learning from Shakespeare, Mr. Timmons realized my appreciation of different literary works and began suggesting other books he thought I would like. Life took an unexpected turn when my father lost his job, placing large pressure on our family's finances. Shortly after, my grandfather's passing away plunged (使陷入) us into great sorrow and hardship. My father turned to alcohol to cope, leaving me to shoulder the responsibility of caring for my family. With no time for reading, I even considered leaving school to find work and assist my mother in supporting the family. When I attended Mr. Timmons'class, I told him about my circumstances and plans. In a soft voice, Mr. Timmons responded,"I'm sorry for what you are going through. I'm here to support you. I will provide you with material assistance so you can help your family and continue your studies. Remember, never give up on your dreams." His words warmed my heart."I won't,"I promised. Guided by his care and encouragement, I continued my love for literature and committed myself to studying. Mr.Timmons became both my mentor (导师) and my friend, offering great support when I ran into difficulties. He listened attentively and nurtured my passion for writing. With his help, my grades steadily improved, and I emerged as an exceptional student. Soon it was graduation time. Paragraph 1: As graduation approached, the school announced a competition to select the student speaker. Paragraph 2: Despite my adequate preparation, I was ultimately not chosen as the speaker. 高三年级英语试题 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语参考答案 1-5ACBAC 6-10 ABBAC 11-15 BCCBA 16-20 CABAB 21-25 BCAAC 26-30 BDBDA 31-35 CABCD 36-40 AGCFD 41-45 ACDBA 46-50 DBACD 51-55 BBACD 56-65 (One possible version) 56.in 57.accepts 58.whose 59.experienced 60.an 61.Pronunciation 62.theatrical 63.respectively 64.to mark 65.exploring 写作(One possible version)) 第一节 Dear Lucia, I'm sorry to tell you that I can't attend our Chinese language tutoring session this Saturday afternoon as planned.

Text 10 W:Hello everyone!Welcome to Global Flavors.Today,we're talking about coffee.It likely began in Africa and was grown in Yemen by the 6th century.Traders brought it to Europe,but people were unsure of it at first,and it gradually won acceptance.Coffee quickly spread across the continent after that.By the 1600s,coffeehouses opened in London,Paris,and Vienna.After the 1773 Boston Tea Party,Americans switched to coffee. Coffee only grows in hot areas near the equator.The red cherries are processed in two ways. In the dry method,they're dried whole in the sun.In the wet method,workers first remove the soft part around the beans,then leave them in water before washing and drying them.This results in better quality coffee.Roasting usually happens in importing countries to bring out flavor. Most coffee comes from two types of coffee plant.Arabica grows high up and tastes rich. Robusta grows lower,has more of the stimulating substance,and is used in cheaper coffee and instant coffee.The best instant coffee is freeze-dried and cheaper ones are spray-dried.2026~2027学年第一学期8月学情检测 高三英语试题 (试卷满分150分时间120分钟) 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.What does the man plan to do tonight?

B In the scientific world,where the focus is on data and results,it's easy to overlook the human aspect,which I think is crucial for a fruitful research environment.In my laboratory at the University of Lausanne,we turn to a simple technique to enhance our group's connectedness: the flashlight method(手电筒法). This straightforward method of passing a virtual flashlight around the room during our weekly lab meetings has brought about a huge shift in how we all interact.Here's how it works for us:I turn on the flashlight by randomly calling someone's name,and after sharing their 高三年级英语试题第4页（共12页） thoughts for about 30 to 60 seconds,they name the next person at random until everyone has had their turn.It's called a flashlight because the idea is to shine the spotlight on each person in a group.The team member with the flashlight shares something from the past week,or the one to come-this could be a breakthrough in their project,a professional achievement,or even something from their personal life. Initially,my lab members and I were unsure how the flashlight method would turn out. Would it be too informal?Would it take time away from our scientific discussions?But,to our delight,the results have been wonderful.The flashlight has opened up our meetings and the random nature of it has kept everyone engaged.The increased participation has led to a more comprehensive understanding of each other's research and challenges as we all work towards our team's goal-to understand the complexities of cancer.When someone talks about a tough experiment or shares their excitement about a surprising result,it sets off discussions and uncovers fresh views. I've found that,sometimes,the simplest method can bring about the most effective changes. The flashlight method might seem like a small addition to the meeting agenda but,for us,it has been transformative.It's about more than just sharing updates;it's about creating a space where everyone feels valued and connected.And in the fast-paced,often high-pressure scientific research environment,this sense of belonging and understanding can make all the difference. 24.What aspect does the author consider important in a scientific study? A.The group dynamics. B.The scientific breakthrough C.The fair working environment. D.The availability of modern techniques. 25.What can we know about the flashlight method? A.It replaces traditional meeting agendas. B.It is centered on individual contributions. C.It encourages people to share ideas at random. D.It allows people to work in a virtual environment. 26.What may the author and his team be working on? A.Computer science. B.Medical research. C.Psychological tests. D.Business management. 27.What may the author think of the flashlight method? A.It is environment-specific.B.It is a temporary success. C.It is far from practical. D.It deserves promotion. 高三年级英语试题第5页（共12页） C Nearly everyone has fun on a carousel(旋转木马)一including,possibly,fruit flies. Scientists observed some flies riding on a spinning platform voluntarily and repeatedly, suggesting the animals may find the movement appealing for some reason,according to a recent study.Sergio Pellis,a behavioral scientist,notes that it would add to the small but growing pile of evidence for play in invertebrates(无脊推动物). Co-author Wolf Huetteroth remembers one day accidentally seeing a lone duck floating down a fast-moving river.It flew back upriver and floated back down-over and over again."I never stopped wondering what motivated the duck to perform such curious.behavior,"he says. Later,when Huetteroth attended a conference where researchers were discussing whether insects can act with intention,he considered testing whether flies would do something similar to the rapids-running duck. He and his colleague Tilman Triphan then decided to build a carousel of sorts.They offered male laboratory fruit flies the chance to jump onto a spinning section of the floor in a stress-free environment.He didn't think the flies would actually go for it."My expectations were extremely low,"he says.It turned out that some of the flies ignored the setup,but a small group of them acted as if they'd just discovered Disneyland. Triphan and Huetteroth reported that the small group of the flies spent 5%or more of their time on the turning wheel.When the researchers put two disks that spun every 5 minutes by turns,some flies spent their time bouncing back and forth between whichever carousel was spinning.Fruit flies are excellent spatial learners,Huetteroth notes,so if they didn't like to spin, they could have simply avoided the disks. Were the flies riding the carousels playing?"It's certainly possible,"Pellis says.Still, Huetteroth was hesitant to claim that;after all,the flies didn't reveal what stimulated them to spin.However,to Pellis,even invertebrates,like the flies,could be experiencing something similar to what we feel when we ride a carousel."The next steps in solving this riddle may come from studying the flies'brain activity involved in the carousel behavior,"Huetteroth adds. 28.What motivated Wolf Huetteroth to study fruit flies? A.A previous study on the behavior of ducks. B.A duck's repetitive and intentional behavior. C.Encouragement from researchers at a conference. D.Personal experiences with insects in everyday life 29.What did the researchers find amazing during their experiment? 高三年级英语试题第6页（共12页） A.The flies showed a great sense of spatial awareness. B.Some flies reacted ncgatively to the spinning platform. C.The platform was much more successful than expected. D.Some flies were enthusiastic about the spinning platform. 30.What is Huetteroth likely to further investigate? A.The motivation behind the flies'carousel behavior. B.The impact of flies'carousel behavior on their brain. C.The social interactions among flies on the carousel. D.The environmental factors affecting the flies'enjoyment. 31.Which can be the best title for the text? A.Invertebrates might have a good command of spatial skills B.Fruit flies can engage in a series of repetitive actions C.Fruit flies may enjoy taking carousels for a spin D.Invertebrates are much smarter than expected D A team of computer scientists has created a more flexible type of machine language learning model. The AI language engines in use are mostly powered by artificial neural()networks.AI researchers can create a language model by training the networks.Through training,the information flow between neurons ()improves as the networks adapt to the training data. However,if you want to create a model for two languages,you have to erase the building blocks of words一tokens(标记)一stored in the first layer of the neural networks,.called the embedding layer.After erasing the tokens of the first language,you could retrain the model with the second language. The retraining was quite demanding,so researchers suggested a new technique called the periodic-forgetting approach:They periodically reset the first layer during the initial round of training.By doing this,the entire model became used to resetting and through selectively forgetting some of its knowledge,it could better leam new languages. The researchers took a commonly used language model called RoBERTa,trained it using their periodic-forgetting technique,and compared it to the same model's performance when it was trained with the standard approach.The forgetting model did slightly worse.Then they retrained the models on other languages,using much smaller datasets of only 5 million tokens,rather than the 70 billion they used during the first training.The accuracy of the standard model decreased 高三年级英语试题第7页（共12页） to 53.3 on average,but the forgetting model dropped only to 62.7. The team concluded that periodic forgetting and relearning during training sessions enable language models to achieve a deeper level of understanding of languages,beyond just knowing the meanings of individual words.The approach is akin to how our own brains work."Human memory in general is not very good at accurately storing large amounts of detailed information, but humans tend to remember the main point of our experiences,"said Benjamin Levy,a neuroscientist. Yihong Chen,the lead author of the paper,looks forward to a world where more AI flowers appear."I'm thinking of a situation where the world doesn't need one big language model.We have so many,"she said."If there's a factory making language models,you need this kind of technique.It has one base model that can quickly adapt to new domains." 32.How does the new technique improve the language model for two languages? A.By resetting the embedding layer regularly. B.By improving the efficiency of data input. C.By expanding the tokens from another language. D.By updating the information flow between neurons. 33.Why did the researchers use RoBERTa in their research? A.To facilitate the operation of their model. B.To test the performance of their new technique C.To extend the general application of language models. D.To find out the drawbacks of the commonly used model. 34.What does the underlined phrase"is akin to"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Be beneficial for. B.Be reliable to. C.Be similar to. D.Be contrary to. 35.What does Yihong Chen expect of the new technique? A.It'll change the way AI systems work. B.It'll transform the computational capabilities ofAI. C.It'll help make language models be mass-produced. D.It'll bring about more language models for various needs. 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。 During low-intensity and moderate-intensity exercise (such as walking and cycling),we 高三年级英语试题第8页（共12页） tend to breathe in through our noses and out through our mouths.Most of us would assume brcathing through the mouth is the best technique to use during intense exercise (such as running),as it allows more oxygen to reach our muscles.36 Studies have shown that when exercising at different intensities,less oxygen is used when breathing through the nose compared to breathing through the mouth.37 Think of oxygcn like fuel for cars.The more miles per gallon of fuel a car covers,the better its "fuel economy"is.Likewise,the less oxygen used per footstep,the less energy a person uses.This means you can run further without becoming tired quickly. Researchers also suggest that breathing through your nose increases the production of nitric oxide(一氧化氮)，which benefits the body in several ways..It enhances oxygen delivery to the lungs and muscles by lowering blood pressure and facilitating better blood flow.38 While these all sound incredibly encouraging,there is some negativity to be aware of. 39 If you introduce it without training first,it could lead to"air hunger"a process whereby a small amount of carbon dioxide is retained (at the end of each breath.This can cause discomfort and overbreathing. As with anything,practice makes perfect.40Try and relax into the process.Ensure your tongue is at the top of your mouth,as this relaxes the jaw and face muscles making it easier to draw a deep breath through your nose.You can also alternate between breathing through your nose and your mouth until you get more used to breathing only through your nose. A.But evidence shows the contrary. B.This may not be suitable for other types of exercise. C.It may also provide protection against airborne viruses. D.When learning to breathe through the nose,don't force air in. E.Be sure to breathe through your nose while running next time. F.Breathing only through the nose during exercise is a learned process. G.This could be a real advantage in line with the economy of movement. 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。 Downtown Albany was as busy as usual that stormy January day last year,with no place to park on the street.My husband,Mike,41 the underground garage of a big supermarket.I got out of the car,completely 42 by a strong sense of fear.By contrast,our dog,Ernest,walked 高三年级英语试题第9页（共12页） ahead in excitement.

Mr.Timmons had a warm smile and genuinely cared for his students.From the first day of my high school year,I knew I'd enjoy his class.It didn't take him long to discover my love of literature.He was impressed that I chose to read the Iliad in my free time.As I progressed and we discussed what I was learning from Shakespeare,Mr.Timmons realized my appreciation of different literary works and began suggesting other books he thought I would like. Life took an unexpected turn when my father lost his job,placing large pressure on our family's finances.Shortly after,my grandfather's passing away plunged (us into great sorrow and hardship.My father turned to alcohol to cope,leaving me to shoulder the responsibility of caring for my family.With no time for reading,I even considered leaving school to find work and assist my mother in supporting the family.When I attended Mr. Timmons'class,I told him about my circumstances and plans. In a soft voice,Mr.Timmons responded,"I'm sorry for what you are going through.I'm here to support you.I will provide you with material assistance so you can help your family and continue your studies.Remember,never give up on your dreams." His words warmed my heart."I won't,"I promised. Guided by his care and encouragement,I continued my love for literature and committed myself to studying.Mr.Timmons became both my mentor (and my friend,offering great support when I ran into difficulties.He listened attentively and nurtured my passion for writing With his help,my grades steadily improved,and I emerged as an exceptional student.Soon it was graduation time.

I've found that,sometimes,the simplest method can bring about the most effective changes. The flashlight method might seem like a small addition to the meeting agenda but,for us,it has been transformative.It's about more than just sharing updates;it's about creating a space where everyone feels valued and connected.And in the fast-paced,often high -pressure scientific research environment,this sense of belonging and understanding can make all the difference. 24.What aspect does the author consider important in a scientific study? A.The group dynamics. B.The scientific breakthrough. C.The fair working environment. D.The availability of modern techniques. 25.What can we know about the flashlight method? A.It replaces traditional meeting agendas. B.It is centered on individual contributions. C.It encourages people to share ideas at random. D.It allows people to work in a virtual environment. 26.What may the author and his team be working on? A.Computer science. B.Medical research C.Psychological tests. D.Business management. 27.What may the author think of the flashlight method? A.It is environment-specific. B.It is a temporary success. C.It is far from practical. D.It deserves promotion. C Nearly everyone has fun on a carousel(旋转木马)一including,possibly,fruit flies. Scientists observed some flies riding on a spinning platform voluntarily and repeatedly, suggesting the animals may find the movement appealing for some reason,according to a recent study.Sergio Pellis,a behavioral scientist,notes that it would add to the small but growing pile of evidence for play in invertebrates(无脊椎动物)， 高三年级英语试题第5页共12页 Co-author Wolf Huetteroth remembers one day accidentally seeing a lone duck floating down a fast -moving river.It flew back upriver and floated back down -over and over again."I never stopped wondering what motivated the duck to perform such curious behavior,"he says.Later,when Huetteroth attended a conference where researchers were discussing whether insects can act with intention,he considered testing whether flies would do something similar to the rapids-running duck. He and his colleague Tilman Triphan then decided to build a carousel of sorts.They offered male laboratory fruit flies the chance to jump onto a spinning section of the floor in a stress-free environment.He didn't think the flies would actually go for it."My expectations were extremely low,"he says.It tumned out that some of the flies ignored the setup,but a small group of them acted as if they'd just discovered Disneyland. Triphan and Huetteroth reported that the small group of the flies spent 5%or more of their time on the turning wheel.When the researchers put two disks that spun every 5 minutes by turns,some flies spent their time bouncing back and forth between whichever carousel was spinning.Fruit flies are excellent spatial learners,Huetteroth notes,so if they didn't like to spin, they could have simply avoided the disks. Were the flies riding the carousels playing?"It's certainly possible,"Pellis says.Still, Huetteroth was hesitant to claim that;after all,the flies didn't reveal what stimulated them to spin.However,to Pellis,even invertebrates,like the flies,could be experiencing something similar to what we feel when we ride a carousel."The next steps in solving this riddle may come from studying the flies'brain activity involved in the carousel behavior,"Huetteroth adds. 28.What motivated Wolf Huetteroth to study fruit flies? A.A previous study on the behavior of ducks. B.A duck's repetitive and intentional behavior C.Encouragement from researchers at a conference. D.Personal experiences with insects in everyday life. 29.What did the researchers find amazing during their experiment? A.The flies showed a great sense of spatial awareness. B.Some flies reacted negatively to the spinning platform. C.The platform was much more successful than expected. D.Some flies were enthusiastic about the spinning platform. 30.What is Huetteroth likely to further investigate? A.The motivation behind the flies'carousel behavior. B.The impact of flies'carousel behavior on their brain. 高三年级英语试题第6页共12页 C.The social interactions among flies on the carousel. D.The environmental factors affecting the flies'enjoyment. 31.Which can be the best title for the text? A.Invertebrates might have a good command of spatial skills B.Fruit flies can engage in a series of repetitive actions C.Fruit flies may enjoy taking carousels for a spin D.Invertebrates are much smarter than expected 0 A team of computer scientists has created a more flexible type of machine language learning model. The AI language engines in use are mostly powered by artificial neural()networks. AI researchers can create a language model by training the networks.Through training,the information flow between neurons ()improves as the networks adapt to the training data. However,if you want to create a model for two languages,you have to erase the building blocks of words --tokens ()--stored in the first layer of the neural networks.called the embedding layer.After erasing the tokens of the first language,you could retrain the model with the second language. The retraining was quite demanding,so researchers suggested a new technique called the periodic-forgetting approach:They periodically reset the first layer during the initial round of training.By doing this,the entire model became used to resetting and through selectively forgetting some of its knowledge,it could better learn new languages. The researchers took a commonly used language model called RoBERTa,trained it using their periodic-forgetting technique,and compared it to the same model's performance when it was trained with the standard approach.The forgetting model did slightly worse.Then they retrained the models on other languages,using much smaller datasets of only 5 million tokens, rather than the 70 billion they used during the first training.The accuracy of the standard model decreased to 53.3 on average,but the forgetting model dropped only to 62.7. The team concluded that periodic forgetting and relearning during training sessions enable language models to achieve a deeper level of understanding of languages,beyond just knowing the meanings of individual words.The approach is akin to how our own brains work."Human memory in general is not very good at accurately storing large amounts of detailed information, but humans tend to remember the main point of our experiences,"said Benjamin Levy,a neuroscientist. Yihong Chen,the lead author of the paper,looks forward to a world where more AI flowers 高三年级英语试题第7页共12页 appear."I'm thinking of a situation where the world doesn't need one big language model.We have so many,"she said."If there's a factory making language models,you need this kind of technique.It has one base model that can quickly adapt to new domains." 32.How does the new technique improve the language model for two languages? A.By resetting the embedding layer regularly. B.By improving the efficiency of data input. C.By expanding the tokens from another language. D.By updating the information flow between neurons. 33.Why did the researchers use RoBERTa in their research? A.To facilitate the operation of their model. B.To test the performance of their new technique. C.To extend the general application of language models. D.To find out the drawbacks of the commonly used model. 34.What does the underlined phrase"is akin to"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Be beneficial for. B.Be reliable to. C.Be similar to. D.Be contrary to. 35.What does Yihong Chen expect of the new technique? A.It'll change the way AI systems work. B.It'll transform the computational capabilities of AI. C.It'll help make language models be mass-produced. D.It'll bring about more language models for various needs. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 During low -intensity and moderate -intensity exercise (such as walking and cycling),we tend to breathe in through our noses and out through our mouths.Most of us would assume breathing through the mouth is the best technique to use during intense exercise (such as running),as it allows more oxygen to reach our muscles.36 Studies have shown that when exercising at different intensities,less oxygen is used when breathing through the nose compared to breathing through the mouth.37 Think of oxygen like fuel for cars.The more miles per gallon of fuel a car covers,the better its "fuel economy"is. Likewise,the less oxygen used per footstep,the less energy a person uses.This means you can run further without becoming tired quickly. Researchers also suggest that breathing through your nose increases the production of nitric 高三年级英语试题第8页共12页 oxide(一氧化氮)，which benefits the body in several ways.It enhances oxygen delivery to the lungs and muscles by lowering blood pressure and facilitating better blood flow.38 While these all sound incredibly encouraging,there is some negativity to be aware of. _39 If you introduce it without training first,it could lead to"air hunger"-a process whereby a small amount of carbon dioxide is retained (at the end of each breath.This can cause discomfort and overbreathing. As with anything,practice makes perfect.40 Try and relax into the process.Ensure your tongue is at the top of your mouth,as this relaxes the jaw and face muscles making it easier to draw a deep breath through your nose.You can also alternate between breathing through your nose and your mouth until you get more used to breathing only through your nose. A.But evidence shows the contrary. B.This may not be suitable for other types of exercise. C.It may also provide protection against airborne viruses. D.When learning to breathe through the nose,don't force air in. E.Be sure to breathe through your nose while running next time. F.Breathing only through the nose during exercise is a learned process. G.This could be a real advantage in line with the economy of movement. 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。 Downtown Albany was as busy as usual that stormy January day last year,with no place to park on the street.My husband,Mike,41 the underground garage of a big supermarket.I got out of the car,completely_42_by a strong sense of fear.By contrast,our dog,Ernest,walked ahead in excitement.

Mr.Timmons had a warm smile and genuinely cared for his students.From the first day of my high school year,I knew I'd enjoy his class.It didn't take him long to discover my love of literature.He was impressed that I chose to read the Iliad in my free time.As I progressed and we discussed what I was learning from Shakespeare,Mr.Timmons realized my appreciation of different literary works and began suggesting other books he thought I would like. Life took an unexpected turn when my father lost his job,placing large pressure on our family's finances.Shortly after,my grandfather's passing away plunged ()us into great sorrow and hardship.My father turned to alcohol to cope,leaving me to shoulder the 高三年级英语试题第11页共12页 responsibility of caring for my family.With no time for reading,I even considered leaving school to find work and assist my mother in supporting the family.When I attended Mr.Timmons'class, I told him about my circumstances and plans. In a soft voice,Mr.Timmons responded,"I'm sorry for what you are going through.I'm here to support you.I will provide you with material assistance so you can help your family and continue your studies.Remember,never give up on your dreams." His words warmed my heart."I won't,"I promised. Guided by his care and encouragement,I continued my love for literature and committed myself to studying.Mr.Timmons became both my mentor (and my friend,offering great support when I ran into difficulties.He listened attentively and nurtured my passion for writing. With his help,my grades steadily improved,and I emerged as an exceptional student.Soon it was graduation time. Paragraph 1: As graduation approached,the school announced a competition to select the student speaker. Paragraph 2: Despite my adequate preparation,I was ultimately not chosen as the speaker. 高三年级英语试题第12页共12页
