B Enric Sala is a former university professor,and left the academic field to become a full-time marine explorer and researcher.In 2008,he founded Pristine Seas,a project that combines exploration, research,public policy and media to inspire the creation of ocean protection areas.It aims to protect at least 30%of the ocean by 2030 for the benefit of nature and humanity.Less than 8%is currently protected. To date,the project has helped to create 29 of the largest ocean reserves on the planet,covering an area of over 6.9 million square kilometers,which is twice the size of India.The achievements are the result of Enric's 36 trips across the globe,from the Southern Line Islands to Greenland and Alaska. The ongoing ocean protection efforts reflect Enric's lifelong passion.He says he admires a famous French filmmaker and undersea explorer.Growing up in Catalonia in the 1970s,he would sit in front of the TV watching his hero every Sunday.He was fascinated by the amazing places,the brave underwater explorers and the wonderful creatures.That was all he wanted to do in his life. Enric writes that in the last century alone,humans have removed over 90%of the ocean's large fish, yet less than 8%of the ocean is under protection.It is possible to make the ocean continuously beneficial to people and the planet.All humans must do is to rewild the sea.In his book,The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild,published in 2020,Enric writes that preserving the planet's wild places,on land and in the ocean,is essential for our continued existence and financial well-being.The process of rewilding,or recovering and protecting natural processes,allows nature to do the hard work for us. Mentioning the successes of wildlife recovery in Yellowstone National Park,Mozambique National Parks,and the Southern Line Islands,Enric adds that our natural world can be a lasting and strong engine of regeneration,and that we just need to give it some space. 24.What can we learn about the Pristine Seas project's achievements? A.It protected over 90%of large fish. B.It helped create 29 ocean reserves. C.It doubled the size of wild habitats. D.It completed 36 trips to Africa safely. 25.What inspired Enric Sala's career choice as a child? A.A TV hero exploring the ocean. B.A film about undersea creatures. C.A book by a French filmmaker. D.A trip to the Southern Line Islands. 26.Why is rewilding the ocean important according to Enric? A.It supports further ocean exploration work B.It draws more people to protect marine life C.It matters to human survival and economy. D.It enlarges the area of current ocean reserves. 高二英语期末试题(XC)-4-(共10页) 27.What does Enric mainly stress in the last paragraph? A.Nature can renew itself if given enough space. B.We should learn from past protection projects. C.Wildlife recovery can't be completely achieved. D.Many national parks have achieved great success. c Many people know that helping others feels good.But now,a new US study shows it might actually be good for your brain,too. Researchers followed over 30,000 adults for 20 years,studying how thinking skills changed over time and comparing this with helping frequency.Those who regularly gave their time to help others had brains that aged more slowly.Their thinking ability declined 15 to 20 percent less than that of those who helped others less frequently. The help did not have to be formal volunteering.Both formal and informal support worked.Formal helping included volunteering for a charity or community group.Informal helping meant simple acts like giving a neighbor a ride to the doctor's or babysitting for a friend.Regular small actions brought great merits,with the best results at two to four hours of helping per week. The study also used data from the Health and Retirement Study,tracking Americans over age 51. What made the study stand out was that researchers considered other interfering()factors affecting brain health,such as education,income,and physical and mental health.Even after adjusting for these influences,the link between helping others and slower thinking decline remained strong.People who stopped helping others completely had poorer brain function. This research adds to growing evidence that helping others is not just good for communities,but also for the people doing it.It may reduce stress,make people happier,and give them a sense of purpose. In fact,the same research team recently found that helping others also lowers stress-related inflammation ()in the body.Inflammation is linked to many health problems,including memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer's. As people get older and face risks of feeling lonely or isolated,this study shows the importance of keeping them involved in meaningful ways."Many older adults can still give a lot to the people around them,"said lead researcher Sae Hwang Han."And they may also be the ones who receive the greatest rewards from continuing to help." 28.What did the new study in the USA find about helping others? A.It lowers physical health risks. B.It makes people feel anxious daily. C.It slows down brain aging. D.It helps communities grow faster. 29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "merits"in paragraph 3? A.Difficulties. B.Advantages. C.Reputations. D.Mistakes. 30.What can be concluded about the research design? A.It studied only memory-loss patients. B.It ignored people's mental health C.It removed various interfering elements. D.It surveyed people of various ages. 高二英语期末试题(XC)-5-(共10页) 31.Why does the author include Han's words in the last paragraph? A.To question the study's conclusion. B.To call on young people to volunteer more. C.To criticize society's view on aging. D.To suggest a solution for seniors'loneliness. D Domestic service robots once existed only in science fiction,but this dream is gradually becoming a reality.Many tech developers are now racing to create humanoid robots that can handle daily housework such as folding laundry,washing dishes,or even pushing kids on a swing.A growing number of research groups have joined in this trend over recent years.Although affordable household humanoid robots are still years away from reaching ordinary families,the whole industry is pouring plenty of effort into related research. Since a classic cartoon introduced the image of a robot maid in the 1960s,creating intelligent service robots has become a shared dream worldwide.This brand-new industry has great market potential with no clear leader yet.Nevertheless,developing fully functional humanoid robots is full of challenges.The tech industry has witnessed large-scale projects end in failure due to various difficulties.That's why some experts suggest developers focus on more realistic Al applications first,such as robot taxis or robot vacuums(真空吸尘器). Creating a humanoid robot that can cook dinner and clean toilets is far more difficult.It requires breakthroughs in hardware,not software.Accurately imitating human muscle movements and distinguishing objects through touch is extremely costly and technically demanding.Even a revolution in artificial intelligence alone cannot overcome these physical obstacles. But AI will play a key role.Tech developers have used up most of the world's easily accessible data for training models.What's left is data grounded in reality-from robots that learn,like children do,how to act in the physical world.Building human-like robots that can interact with humans produces more data for AI learning,which leads to better AI that improves the robots so they can take on more jobs. Currently,many research teams are committed to humanoid robot technology and are making steady progress.Major economies have recognized that the competition to build robotic servants may be the most critical technological race of the next decade. 32.What can we know about household robots at present? A.They are serving more ordinary families. B.They face no major technical problems. C.They are attracting growing research interest. D.They have become a highly profitable industry. 33.What makes humanoid robots harder to develop than robot vacuums? A.They require more advanced hardware. B.They need more training data to learn. C.They completely depend on AI software. D.They cost too much in mass production. 34.How does AI contribute to humanoid robot development? A.By removing all physical obstacles. B.By collecting easily accessible data. C.By copying human muscle movements. D.By learning from real-world actions. 高二英语期末试题(XC)-6-(共10页) 35.Which of the following can be the suitable title for the text? A.The History of Cartoon Robots B.The Race to Build Robot Servants C.Challenges for Robot Vacuums D.Advantages of Home Appliances 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 In today's world of rapid transformations and progress,new career paths are constantly emerging, traditional ones are being altered ()and shifts are occurring in occupational skills and educational requirements.These changes are caused by several developments.36 In addition,they result from the trend towards global business operations. With all these changes,you might ask,"What is the point of planning ahead by developing a career plan?"It is very important to be ready for change with a set of career goals,strategies,and options based on your interests,personality,values,and skills.37 Planning your career is entirely your responsibility.It is up to you to take the necessary actions to obtain the education and training that will support your career plans.38 For example,your adviser or career counselor can advise you on your career planning strategy,how to find the information you need,how to overcome obstacles,or how to plan your current and long-term education and training. Keep in mind,throughout your life,that you are the one who must make all the decisions about your career and achieve the outcomes that support your goals.39 Each informed decision you make actively shapes the professional life you wish to lead.Therefore,embrace this responsibility with confidence. 40 Every step you take,no matter how small,brings you closer to your goals.Never give up, because each small action builds the path to your future.Remember that career success is not a destination but a continuous journey of learning,growth,and becoming the best version of yourself. A.Your choices will shape your career path all the way. B.Still,you can turn to others for support when needed. C.They seldom provide valuable methods and perspectives. D.Therefore,connect your plans with real-world opportunities. E.Above all,stay committed and take steady action towards your goals. F.Once you have a clear plan,you will be equipped to manage your career. G.They arise partly from new technology and modifications in organizational design. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分25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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Yang Mei,a 22-year-old college graduate,made a selfless decision.She 41 her cozy urban life and volunteered as an online tutor in Cliff Village,a remote mountain village 42 in deep 高二英语期末试题(XC)-7-(共10页) Daliangshan,where left-behind children had long been short of equal 43 chances.

I liked swimming in the pool but I feared swimming in the ocean.I felt helpless and out of control in open waters.Since I recently had knee surgery,trusting my knee was going to be a challenge.My father loved snorkeling.On past vacations,he had spent hours swimming in the water,while I had tried for a few minutes and then returned to the beach. Snorkeling in the Galapagos was supposed to be amazing,with various sea creatures to observe closely thanks to the lack of dangerous sharks.I didn't want to disappoint him,but I also didn't want to have a vacation colored by anxiety. Hesitantly,I placed the snorkeling equipment in my suitcase.Hours later,we reached the island and the adventure began.We walked and observed rare species.It was incredible. On the second day,we went on a hike,and then there was a snorkeling option afterward.So,I put on my snorkeling equipment,and we chose to start from the shore,rather than the boat,to help ease me into the depths. We started walking into the water,together with a group of people we had gotten to know.The sand was shifting under our feet as the waves rolled in.I could feel my knee being pulled this way and that, and I started panicking.I looked at my father,shaking my head. "I don't think I can do this!It's hurting my knee.I don't even know if I can swim with it very well. You go;I'll hang out on the beach,"I said,nearly in tears. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just when I turned to leave,my father reached for my hand,saying,"You'll make it!"
