Giant Panda National Park The park covers 27,134 km2 of mountainous land in Central China’s Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. It protects the habitats of about 1,340 wild giant pandas, a species found only in China. The best time to see this park is between April and October when the weather is warmest, vegetation (植被) is thickest, and giant pandas are most active. Visitors can observe the daily activities of pandas, including climbing trees, playing, eating, and tumbling. Three-river-source National Park In northwest China’s Qinghai Province, the park covers 190,700 km2, making it China’s largest park. Three-river-source is very diverse geographically. Dramatic mountains loom above glaciers, high-altitude wetlands, grassland meadows, desert plateaus, and mirrored lakes. Three-river-source is called “China’s Water Tower” because it is the source region of the ChangJiang River, the Lancang River, and the Yellow River. While exploring its original wilderness, visitors may spot unique snow leopards and Tibetan antelopes. National Park of Hainan Tropical Rainforest Located in Hainan, the park covers 4,269 km2. This national park has China’s most diverse, best preserved, and largest contiguous (相接的) area of tropical rainforest. It is home to 4,367 plant species, 95 reptile species, 305 bird species, and 85 mammal species, making it a biodiversity hotspot. Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park The endangered Amur leopards and Amur tigers are now protected in the park. Located in northeast China, this national park covers 14,100 km2 along the borders with Russia and the DPRK. By removing fences, reconnecting habitats, and relocating animals, the park restored migration and reproduction corridors (走廊). 21．When is the best time to watch giant pandas? A．In January. B．In March. C．In May. D．In November. 22．Which is the largest park among the four? A．Giant Panda National Park. B．Three-river-source National Park. C．National Park of Hainan Tropical Rainforest.

B．It is the smallest national park in China. C．It is home to 38% of the world’s bird species. D．It is China’s only park with contiguous rainforest. B For as long as I can remember, I want to be a performer. But when it was time to go to college and decide what I wanted to be for the rest of my life, it didn’t occur to me to choose drama as my major. Making a living as a performer seemed impractical to me. So instead of starting drama, I started pre-law, and then went to law school like my two sisters did before me. They seemed happy enough, I thought; they worked about 80 hours a week, but they made good money and could afford expensive cars and fancy apartments in the city. After law school, I got a new job and worked as a lawyer for a big company. I had great benefits, including four weeks of vacation a year, but I never got to use any of my vacation time because there was always too much work to do. I worked from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, and when I was finished, all I could do was collapse into my bed until I woke up to do it all over again the next day. After five years of this lifestyle, I thought I was going to go crazy. I was unhappy and exhausted, I never saw my friends or my family, and I realized I hadn’t been in a play or musical since I started law school. I thought that acting in a small community play might make me feel better, but rehearsals and performances all took place during my work hours. So I made an extreme decision and quit my job. I got a small part in a local play and then the lead role. Now I make my living from acting, and once in a while, I do some legal consulting for a little extra money. I don’t get paid a lot for my acting jobs, but it’s enough. I had to give up my big apartment and expensive car, but I’m so much happier now. I see my friends and family, I have free time, and I get to do something I love every day. 24．Why did the writer choose pre-law instead of drama as a major? A．Drama was too difficult for her to learn. B．She thought acting jobs were not well-paid enough to earn a living. C．Her parents forced her to study law. D．She wanted to work in the same company as her sisters. 25．What was the writer’s life like as a lawyer? A．She had a lot of free time to travel. B．She worked long hours and felt exhausted. C．She often performed in community plays. D．She earned little money but was happy. 26．What made the writer quit her job as a lawyer? A．She got a better job offer from another company. B．Her sisters advised her to follow her dream. C．She wanted to join a community play but had no time. D．She was asked to act in a local play as the lead role. 27．What can we learn about the writer now? A．She still works as a full-time lawyer. B．She lives a simple life but is happier. C．She earns more money than before. D．She has no time to meet friends or family. C Researchers in Switzerland have integrated chips and sensors into socks to help people who suffer from diabetes symptoms (糖尿病症状) — long-term pain and a loss of feeling in the feet. About half of the world’s 560 million diabetes patients experience nerve (神经) damage in the lower leg. This damage affects the nerves and prevents the brain from receiving sensory signals from the feet. That not only makes walking difficult but also amplifies the risk of falling. The smart sock uses painless electrical signals to provide personalized treatment. It works by sending signals to specific nerve pathways and restoring feeling in the feet. This could potentially remove the need for the strong painkillers usually used for this condition, while also boosting users’ confidence when they move around. A research team from ETH Zurich is behind this breakthrough. Over the past five years, they have developed this solution using smart fabrics and AI. The sock has pressure sensors on the bottom to map how pressure is spread while walking. A small computer in the upper part of the sock then turns this information into electrical signals. Electrodes (电极) in the fabric send these signals directly to healthy parts of the wearer’s nerves, based on the pressure map. This allows the wearer to feel the ground and reduces nerve pain. This makes it easier for users to notice where pressure is applied with each step, helping them feel more stable as they walk. The feedback from activating the nerves could also help prevent missteps and accidental falls. The sock is not yet on the market. The team has scheduled a long-term study in the coming months. This study will determine if the sock can significantly improve patients’ walking patterns and if it can partially restore nerve function. Designed for daily use, the product will be thoroughly tested to see how well it lasts over time. 28．What does the underlined word “amplifies” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Increases. B．Shifts. C．Removes. D．Estimates. 29．What is a key advantage of the smart sock over traditional treatment methods? A．It uses stronger painkillers. B．It might focus on curing diabetes. C．It requires no battery to operate. D．It might replace strong painkillers. 30．Which is the correct order of the working process of the sock? A．Map→send→transform→feel. B．Map→transform→send→feel. C．Send→map→transform→feel. D．Transform→map→send→feel. 31．What is the research team’s attitude to the sock? A．Hesitant. B．Subjective. C．Careful. D．Emotional. D After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the Al on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the Al would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”, The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 32．What do we know about Stable Diffusion? A．It can help train people’s minds. B．It can fully present people’s dreams. C．It was created to draw people’s brains. D．It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts. 33．How did the Al system learn about human brain activity? A．By recording brain scans from participants. B．By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts C．By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain. D．By examining 10,000 photos about human brains. 34．What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Unclear. B．Striking. C．Factual. D．Unusual. 35．What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists? A．To help understand our dreams. B．To improve text-to-image models. C．To create more accurate brain scans. D．To learn how animals view the world. 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。 Getting enough sleep is good for your health, but not everyone can sleep well.

Born in England in 1934, she had a strong love for animals from childhood. At 26, she traveled to Gombe National Park in Tanzania, 57 country in Africa, and started her research on chimps. Jane spent years 58 (observe) chimps’ behaviors in their own environment. At that time, it was 59 (usual) for a woman to live in a forest, but Jane never thought of giving up. She discovered that they could make and use 60 (tool), which was once thought to be unique to humans. She found that chimps had special ways to express 61 (they). She also realized the bond between members of a family was as strong as that in a human family. When Jane found chimps’ forest home was disappearing, she decided to do more than just study them. In 1977, she began a program to teach young people around the world 62 (care) for animals and the environment. Now, her project is being continued across Africa to prevent habitats loss and illegal hunting. In her later years, she traveled around the world to speak for wildlife 63 (protect). What Jane did is 64 (extreme) important for the survival of chimps, which keeps encouraging people to understand and protect wildlife. What makes her story impressive is not her scientific achievements 65 her belief in human’s ability to live in harmony with other species. 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假如你是李华，你校英语论坛正在组织一次讨论活动，主题是“My Views on AI in Learning”。现向同学们了解看法，征集稿件。请你写一篇英语文章投稿，内容包括： 1. 人工智能现状； 2. 你的观点。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 My Views on AI in Learning __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 （满分 25 分） 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 The snow started — coming down fast and thick. Within minutes, I was lost in a snowstorm. My wipers struggled against the heavy accumulation, barely clearing a patch to see through. I slowed down, but I had no clue where I was. I stopped the car, terrified of driving into a field and getting trapped in the dark. I kept the engine running to stay warm and dialed 911. The operator’s voice was firm: “Stay there and wait until morning. Nobody can reach you tonight.” The news hit me like a heavy blow. I was stuck in the middle of nowhere, the storm getting worse by the minute. Glancing at the fuel meter, I realized I only had a quarter tank left. The world outside was deadly silent. The thick snow seemed to swallow every sound, except for the distant, sad cry of a wild animal that made me tremble. In the complete darkness, the twisted tree branches looked like clawing fingers reaching for the car. My mind played tricks on me — I imagined shadows shifting in the woods, as if something were waiting for the storm to die down. I held my breath, panic weighing heavily on my chest. Thanks to my phone, with its battery dropping to just fifteen percent, I discovered I was on Bouvier Lane. I quickly posted this to a local community group, praying for help. After that, I sat in the silent, freezing car. I had done all I could; I had to be at peace with whatever happened. Soon, people started leaving comments. Messages of comfort lit up my screen, melting away my isolation. They knew the family nearby! I received a message, and at 8 p.m., my phone rang. It was the son of the local farmer. He sounded calm and kind: “Don’t worry, my dad is on his way to get you!” I held my breath, waiting anxiously in the freezing darkness. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 A truck stopped by and the door opened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When morning broke, the storm had stopped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
