Over 100 stone burial chambers, some 5,000 years old, are scattered across the hills, with underground passages once believed to lead to a mythical underworld. The most dramatic is Queen Maeve’s tomb atop Knocknarea Mountain. Both Keshcorran and Carrowkeel are free to visit — just a 10-20 minute walk from parking lots. Real Felipe Fortress, Peru Ten miles west of Lima, this seaside fortress was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake as a five-sided fort with a moat and a mile-long stone wall. Tourists can explore its 24-acre grounds and two military museums, and enjoy views of the sea where Spanish ships once retreated. The fortress witnessed Peru’s final victory over Spain in 1826 and is open daily, with guided tours available. Cape York Peninsula, Australia Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. The peninsula is home to only 17,000 people — more than half of whom are Indigenous. It begins about 100 miles north of Cairns, where visitors can rent a car or fly to small communities. Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana Burrowed into the Aha Hills near the Namibian border, these six cave systems contain fossils and rock formations over two million years old — possibly the richest in southern Africa. A 630-mile drive from Gaborone requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Inside, bats fill dark chambers; outside, visitors may spot rare trees and geckos. The caves are best visited in the dry season. 1. Which site can visitors tour with a guide? A. Sligo Passage Tombs. B. Real Felipe Fortress. C. Cape York Peninsula. D. Gcwihaba Caves. 2. What do we know about Cape York Peninsula? A. It is heavily populated. B. It is known for ancient rock art. C. It is located south of Cairns. D. It is covered by rainforest only. 3. What is special about visiting the Gcwihaba Caves? A. A short walk is needed. B. A variety of rare animals is seen. C. A sea view is provided. D. A visit in the dry season is suggested. B Many students at college, including myself, arrive with a very distinct image of who and what we are going to be after graduation. Personally, I had my next ten years planned out before even starting my freshman year. My parents work in pharmaceuticals (制药业), so I knew about the career prospects. I had taken many scientific elective courses in high school and excelled in AP Chemistry, so I thought this degree would be something I could do well in and love for the next four years and afterwards in a career. In the fall of my freshman year, I signed up for a chemistry, a calculus, and an English class. I always enjoyed reading, so I thought the English course would be a fun addition and a possible minor to add to my studies. During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but I felt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn’t connect with me. The one thing that made me actually enjoy my first semester was my English course. I felt tired, just thinking about more chemistry classes the next semester. I thought that higher-level chemistry courses might be more interesting because they would become more specialized, but I continually found myself disinterested in the content of the courses. By this time, I had added my English minor, and the things I had learned in my minor were so much more exciting to me. I went with the flow until my sophomore year. I called my parents in tears. I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully they were the exact opposite.My parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in continuing into a major. After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. I switched to an English major. I felt like the biggest weight was lifted from my shoulders. Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. There have been so many opportunities that would not have happened if it hadn’t been for switching my major and career path. 4. What was the author’s main struggle as a freshman? A. Pressure for perfect grades. B. Uncertainty about future plans. C. Fear of disappointing her parents. D. Loss of passion for her planned major. 5. How did the author’s parents react to her quitting chemistry? A. Supportive of her pursuit. B. Relieved at her decision. C. Annoyed by her attempt. D. Concerned about her future. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Purposeful and focused. B. Courageous and growth-minded. C. Persistent and confident. D. Disciplined and self-aware. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Curiosity keeps the mind young. C. The wise man is always a learner. D. The heart sees what the eyes cannot. C Pros and Cons of Artificial Intelligence According to a third of researchers surveyed for Stanford University’s annual report, artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to a “nuclear-level catastrophe”. The report’s authors note that while AI systems now “demonstrate capabilities unimagined a decade ago”, they are still “likely to give false information, often biased, and can be tricked into serving harmful purposes”. This contrast, as seen in innovations like ChatGPT, has heated the global debate on AI’s true impact. On the one hand, AI offers transformative advantages. Its clearest benefit is increased efficiency: by processing large amounts of data at very high speed, AI enables faster decision-making and raises productivity. A study found that AI can reduce patient waiting time in A&E by an hour. Similarly, tasks that take humans days — like sorting 10,000 lines of a spreadsheet — can be completed in minutes. Beyond efficiency, this automation promises more leisure time. Some experts believe shorter workdays and three-day weekends could become the norm. Furthermore, AI drives scientific breakthroughs, aiding cancer diagnosis and speeding up drug development through tools like AlphaFold. However, these benefits come with significant risks. Ethically, AI presents a basic challenge. Its purely logical decision-making lacks human emotion and moral sense, making it difficult to build real ethics into algorithms. AI also fails to capture the human factors that guide real-life decisions. Beyond ethics, AI threatens jobs. A McKinsey study estimates AI could displace about 15% of workers — 400 million people — by 2030. This potential for job losses is often seen as AI’s biggest downside. Compounding these issues is the risk of power monopolisation (垄断), as control over this technology could be concentrated in a few tech giants. In conclusion, AI is a double-edged sword. Its impact will be decided not by the technology itself, but by human guidance and proper regulation. A balanced approach is essential to harnessing (利用) its potential while protecting against its harms. 8. What can we infer from Stanford University’s annual report? A. AI has caused a nuclear-level catastrophe. B. AI has both upsides and downsides. C. ChatGPT is the most innovative AI product. D. Most researchers worry about AI’s safety. 9. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. AI can reduce patient waiting time to zero. B. AI will make longer workdays a global norm. C. AI can complete all time-consuming tasks in minutes. D. AI helps promote medical research with advanced tools. 10. What does the underlined word “compounding” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Worsening B. Solving C. Responding D. Explaining 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To warn people of the serious risks of AI. B. To introduce the latest development of AI technology. C. To call for proper regulation of AI to balance its pros and cons. D. To argue that AI’s advantages are more important than its risks. D Much of the methane (甲烷) in air comes from human activities. But methane has natural sources too. Microbes (微生物) in wetland soils and trees also release methane. Vincent Gauci, an environmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the tropics, give off methane from their trunks. Then, he wanted to study its release from trees in drier soils. “We were surprised to see the exact opposite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane. Trees taking in and releasing gases is gas exchange. Researchers typically measure methane exchange low on the trunk, near the ground. But Gauci’s team measured higher up on the tree, thinking this would better estimate how much methane the whole tree might send out. Gauci’s two students measured methane release from trees in the UK and Panama, setting up a gas-exchange chamber on a tree to monitor how much methane it’s absorbing or sending out. They expected methane emissions would drop as they measured higher up the trunk. Their guess at first seemed to hold. Higher up the trunk, methane release dipped. But at chest height, the numbers dropped below zero — here, trees were absorbing methane. To further check their findings, the team analyzed trees from four regions — Brazil, Sweden, Panama and the UK. The result was the same at all sites. Overall, the trees took up more methane than they released. Using data from the four sites, the team estimated all the world’s forests may be absorbing 50 million tons of methane every year. The scientists believe methane is taken in by microbes that live in tree bark. On average, trees absorbed more methane than they released, with faster uptake in warmer climates. Gauci says, “People release far more methane than what nature can remove. So we have to cut back on fossil fuels. Trees are even more important for climate than we thought. We must be aware of the need for immediate action to safeguard this vital natural resource.” 12. What aspect of the research surprised Gauci? A. Its theory. B. Its process. C. Its findings. D. Its functions. 13. What can we learn from the research? A. Its data was measured globally. B. It was done by Gauci and his coworkers. C. Its participants were the same as before. D. It involved methods different from typical ones. 14. What does Gauci stress in the last paragraph? A. Trees can remove all methane. B. Protecting trees is crucial. C. Methane has no natural sources. D. Methane is important to climate. 15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. Trees may be big climate heroes B. Gauci found out trees’ growth secret C. Researchers studied trees in four areas D. Microbes can release and absorb methane 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。 Technological progress is transforming education, from AI chatbots to the growing accessibility of virtual-reality (VR) tools that expand the boundaries of the classroom. It offers the promise of equal learning opportunities for every student, yet has potential problems. ____16____ In 2023, the big story in technology and education was generative AI, following the introduction of some chatbots that produce text seemingly written by a human in response to a question or suggestion. ____17____ In response to that, some schools move to adopt policies around students’ use of the tool. In the meantime, many schools are beginning to explore potential opportunities. The use of immersive (沉浸式的) technologies like augmented reality (AR), VR, and mixed reality (MR) is also expected to rise rapidly in the classroom, especially as new high-end devices integrating these realities hit the marketplace in 2024. Students can create their own local interactive 360-degree scenes with basic devices. ____18____ ____19____ While it often features dynamic videos and motivates students with rewards, the downside is that rewards are specific to the activity at hand, which may not extend to learning more generally. More creative game patterns that give students points for rethinking an approach or adapting their strategy, rather than only rewarding them for quickly producing a correct response, are needed. In brief, technology challenges our traditional views on education. It has the risk of reproducing biases (偏见) but also offers new teaching and learning prospects. ____20____ We also should explore new educational methods to make the most of these technologies. A. We should rethink our educational practices. B. Gamification of learning activities is another growing trend. C. Educators immediately worry about students using it to cheat. D. Integrating AI into VR will further enrich the learning experiences. E. And the teacher’s acceptances of these new technologies varies greatly. F. This has caused more attention to technologies taking center stage in the classroom. G. However, some educators may overlook the risks and overemphasize the prospects. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Every summer, an average of 37 children die in hot cars in the US.

However, to my disappointment, I was assigned to Mr. Henderson, a most cold and strict editor in the office. He was a man of few words who never smiled at anyone. He constantly rejected my drafts, leaving messy red-ink notes all over the empty space of my papers. “Where is the core fact?” “Where is the emotion?” he would write. Those notes were harsh (严苛的), but strangely, they were also incredibly detailed, always pointing out exactly where and how a story was weak. Still, facing his sharp eyes and endless criticism day after day, I felt so defeated that I seriously considered quitting. I was convinced that he just didn’t like me. Then, a huge story broke. A historic building downtown, one that had stood for over a century as a symbol of our town, suddenly caught fire, and our newspaper needed an urgent headline report. Yet, right at that important moment, Mr. Henderson unexpectedly fell ill. Before going to the hospital, he walked slowly to my desk, his face pale. Without saying a word, he placed his old, thick notebook on my desk, which he always carried with him. He tapped on it, and left me in total charge of the big report. Racing against time, I rushed to the smoke-filled scene, interviewed shocked witnesses, and gathered facts. The big fire had destroyed the roof, leaving only the black brick walls standing. When I hurried back, only three hours remained before the final deadline. Sitting before the computer with my shaking hands, I typed anxiously. I rewrote the opening three times, deleting sentences back and forth. Each version felt lifeless. I just couldn’t find the core fact or the emotion Mr. Henderson always demanded. The wall clock counted down to my failure. Depressed, I pulled at my hair. My heart sank as the letters seemed to laugh at my helplessness. 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语试题卷 注意事项： 1．时间：120分钟，满分：150分。试卷总页数：9页。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 3．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。 4．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.

Personally, I had my next ten years planned out before even starting my freshman year. My parents work in pharmaceuticals (制药业), so I knew about the career prospects. I had taken many scientific elective courses in high school and excelled in AP Chemistry, so I thought this degree would be something I could do well in and love for the next four years and afterwards in a career. In the fall of my freshman year, I signed up for a chemistry, a calculus, and an English class. I always enjoyed reading, so I thought the English course would be a fun addition and a possible minor to add to my studies. During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but I felt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn’t connect with me. The one thing that made me actually enjoy my first semester was my English course. I felt tired, just thinking about more chemistry classes the next semester. I thought that higher-level chemistry courses might be more interesting because they would become more specialized, but I continually found myself disinterested in the content of the courses. By this time, I had added my English minor, and the things I had learned in my minor were so much more exciting to me. I went with the flow until my sophomore year. I called my parents in tears. I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully they were the exact opposite.My parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in continuing into a major. After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. I switched to an English major. I felt like the biggest weight was lifted from my shoulders. Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. There have been so many opportunities that would not have happened if it hadn’t been for switching my major and career path. 4. What was the author’s main struggle as a freshman? A. Pressure for perfect grades. B. Uncertainty about future plans. C. Fear of disappointing her parents. D. Loss of passion for her planned major. 5. How did the author’s parents react to her quitting chemistry? A. Supportive of her pursuit. B. Relieved at her decision. C. Annoyed by her attempt. D. Concerned about her future. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Purposeful and focused. B. Courageous and growth-minded. C. Persistent and confident. D. Disciplined and self-aware. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Curiosity keeps the mind young. C. The wise man is always a learner. D. The heart sees what the eyes cannot. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述的是作者从最初计划学习化学专业，到发现自己真正热爱英语，最终勇敢转专业的成长经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During that semester, I did well in all of my classes, but I felt I hated my science and math courses. I always liked math and science in high school, but something about the courses in college simply didn’t connect with me. (那个学期，我所有课程都表现不错，但我感觉自己讨厌科学和数学课。我在高中时一直喜欢数学和科学，但大学的课程就是无法引起我的共鸣。)”可知，作者作为大一新生时的主要困扰是对原本计划的专业失去了热情。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“I was completely ready for them to be disappointed and tell me to stick with it; thankfully they were the exact opposite. My parents knew I was enjoying my English minor and asked me if I had any interest in continuing into a major. (我完全准备好让他们失望并告诉我坚持下去；谢天谢地他们恰恰相反。我父母知道我喜欢英语辅修，问我是否有兴趣继续攻读专业。)”可知，父母对她的追求表示支持。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I called my parents in tears. I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! (我哭着给父母打电话。我再也忍不住了：我不想学化学了！)”以及“After talking with my parents and my advisor, I took the plunge. I switched to an English major. (和父母以及指导老师交谈过后，我鼓起勇气，转到了英语专业。)”和最后一段“I have discovered my newfound love and capabilities. (我发现了自己新获得的热爱和能力。)”可知，作者勇于面对内心真实想法并做出改变，具有勇气；同时从这次经历中成长，发现了新的自我，体现了成长型思维。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第五段“I couldn’t hold it in anymore: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO CHEMISTRY! (我再也忍不住了：我不想学化学了！)”以及最后一段“Now, I could not be happier about switching my major. (现在，我对转专业这件事感到无比开心。)”可知，作者遵从内心、跟随心声做出了选择，对应谚语The heart sees what the eyes cannot. (内心能看见眼睛看不见的东西)。 C Pros and Cons of Artificial Intelligence According to a third of researchers surveyed for Stanford University’s annual report, artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to a “nuclear-level catastrophe”. The report’s authors note that while AI systems now “demonstrate capabilities unimagined a decade ago”, they are still “likely to give false information, often biased, and can be tricked into serving harmful purposes”. This contrast, as seen in innovations like ChatGPT, has heated the global debate on AI’s true impact. On the one hand, AI offers transformative advantages. Its clearest benefit is increased efficiency: by processing large amounts of data at very high speed, AI enables faster decision-making and raises productivity. A study found that AI can reduce patient waiting time in A&E by an hour. Similarly, tasks that take humans days — like sorting 10,000 lines of a spreadsheet — can be completed in minutes. Beyond efficiency, this automation promises more leisure time. Some experts believe shorter workdays and three-day weekends could become the norm. Furthermore, AI drives scientific breakthroughs, aiding cancer diagnosis and speeding up drug development through tools like AlphaFold. However, these benefits come with significant risks. Ethically, AI presents a basic challenge. Its purely logical decision-making lacks human emotion and moral sense, making it difficult to build real ethics into algorithms. AI also fails to capture the human factors that guide real-life decisions. Beyond ethics, AI threatens jobs. A McKinsey study estimates AI could displace about 15% of workers — 400 million people — by 2030. This potential for job losses is often seen as AI’s biggest downside. Compounding these issues is the risk of power monopolisation (垄断), as control over this technology could be concentrated in a few tech giants. In conclusion, AI is a double-edged sword. Its impact will be decided not by the technology itself, but by human guidance and proper regulation. A balanced approach is essential to harnessing (利用) its potential while protecting against its harms. 8. What can we infer from Stanford University’s annual report? A. AI has caused a nuclear-level catastrophe. B. AI has both upsides and downsides. C. ChatGPT is the most innovative AI product. D. Most researchers worry about AI’s safety. 9. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. AI can reduce patient waiting time to zero. B. AI will make longer workdays a global norm. C. AI can complete all time-consuming tasks in minutes. D. AI helps promote medical research with advanced tools. 10. What does the underlined word “compounding” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Worsening B. Solving C. Responding D. Explaining 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To warn people of the serious risks of AI. B. To introduce the latest development of AI technology. C. To call for proper regulation of AI to balance its pros and cons. D. To argue that AI’s advantages are more important than its risks. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍人工智能利弊。AI提升效率、推动科研，但存在伦理缺陷、造成失业、技术垄断风险。作者提出AI是双刃剑，需要人类引导与合理监管。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a third of researchers surveyed for Stanford University’s annual report, artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to a “nuclear-level catastrophe”. The report’s authors note that while AI systems now “demonstrate capabilities unimagined a decade ago”, they are still “likely to give false information, often biased, and can be tricked into serving harmful purposes”.(斯坦福大学年度报告调查的三分之一研究者认为人工智能可能引发核级灾难。报告撰写者提到尽管人工智能展现出十年前难以想象的能力，但仍可能输出虚假信息、带有偏见，还可能被诱导用于有害目的)”可知，人工智能既有优点也有缺点。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Furthermore, AI drives scientific breakthroughs, aiding cancer diagnosis and speeding up drug development through tools like AlphaFold.(此外，人工智能推动科学突破，借助 AlphaFold 这类工具辅助癌症诊断、加速药物研发)”可知人工智能利用先进工具助力医学研究。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Beyond ethics, AI threatens jobs. A McKinsey study estimates AI could displace about 15% of workers — 400 million people — by 2030. This potential for job losses is often seen as AI’s biggest downside. Compounding these issues is the risk of power monopolisation (垄断), as control over this technology could be concentrated in a few tech giants.(除伦理问题之外，人工智能还会对就业造成威胁。麦肯锡一项研究预估，到2030年人工智能可能取代约15%的劳动者，也就是4亿人。这种潜在的失业问题通常被视作人工智能最大的弊端。Compounding这些问题的还有技术权力垄断的风险，因为这项技术的控制权可能会集中在少数科技巨头手中)”可知，垄断风险让已有问题变得更严重。故划线词意思是“使恶化”。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, AI is a double-edged sword. Its impact will be decided not by the technology itself, but by human guidance and proper regulation. A balanced approach is essential to harnessing (利用) its potential while protecting against its harms.(总之，人工智能是一把双刃剑。它产生的影响并非由技术本身决定，而是取决于人类的引导与恰当的监管。想要发挥它的潜力同时防范其危害，采取均衡稳妥的方式至关重要)”可知作者写作目的是呼吁合理监管，平衡人工智能利弊。 D Much of the methane (甲烷) in air comes from human activities. But methane has natural sources too. Microbes (微生物) in wetland soils and trees also release methane. Vincent Gauci, an environmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the tropics, give off methane from their trunks. Then, he wanted to study its release from trees in drier soils. “We were surprised to see the exact opposite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane. Trees taking in and releasing gases is gas exchange. Researchers typically measure methane exchange low on the trunk, near the ground. But Gauci’s team measured higher up on the tree, thinking this would better estimate how much methane the whole tree might send out. Gauci’s two students measured methane release from trees in the UK and Panama, setting up a gas-exchange chamber on a tree to monitor how much methane it’s absorbing or sending out. They expected methane emissions would drop as they measured higher up the trunk. Their guess at first seemed to hold. Higher up the trunk, methane release dipped. But at chest height, the numbers dropped below zero — here, trees were absorbing methane. To further check their findings, the team analyzed trees from four regions — Brazil, Sweden, Panama and the UK. The result was the same at all sites. Overall, the trees took up more methane than they released. Using data from the four sites, the team estimated all the world’s forests may be absorbing 50 million tons of methane every year. The scientists believe methane is taken in by microbes that live in tree bark. On average, trees absorbed more methane than they released, with faster uptake in warmer climates. Gauci says, “People release far more methane than what nature can remove. So we have to cut back on fossil fuels. Trees are even more important for climate than we thought. We must be aware of the need for immediate action to safeguard this vital natural resource.” 12. What aspect of the research surprised Gauci? A. Its theory. B. Its process. C. Its findings. D. Its functions. 13. What can we learn from the research? A. Its data was measured globally. B. It was done by Gauci and his coworkers. C. Its participants were the same as before. D. It involved methods different from typical ones. 14. What does Gauci stress in the last paragraph? A. Trees can remove all methane. B. Protecting trees is crucial. C. Methane has no natural sources. D. Methane is important to climate. 15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. Trees may be big climate heroes B. Gauci found out trees’ growth secret C. Researchers studied trees in four areas D. Microbes can release and absorb methane 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕科学家Vincent Gauci及其团队对树木吸收和释放甲烷的研究展开。指出了甲烷的来源，对树木吸收甲烷原因的分析，并强调了树木对气候的重要性以及减少化石燃料使用、保护森林资源的必要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Vincent Gauci, an environmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the tropics, give off methane from their trunks. Then, he wanted to study its release from trees in drier soils. “We were surprised to see the exact opposite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane.(环境科学家Vincent Gauci知道，在潮湿地区（比如热带地区）的树木会从树干释放甲烷。然后，他想研究在更干燥的土壤中树木释放甲烷的情况。Gauci说：“我们惊讶地看到了完全相反的情况。”实际上，树木在吸收甲烷。)”可知，Gauci原本知道潮湿地区（如热带地区）的树木会从树干释放甲烷，他想研究更干燥土壤中树木甲烷的释放情况，但结果却发现树木实际上在吸收甲烷，这与他预期的情况相反，所以是研究结果让他感到惊讶。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers typically measure methane exchange low on the trunk, near the ground. But Gauci’s team measured higher up on the tree, thinking this would better estimate how much methane the whole tree might send out.(研究人员通常在靠近地面的树干低处测量甲烷交换情况。但Gauci的团队在树木更高的位置进行测量，他们认为这样能更好地估算整棵树可能释放的甲烷量。)”可知，通常研究人员在靠近地面的树干低处测量甲烷交换，而Gauci的团队在树上更高的位置测量，研究方法与典型的测量方法不同。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Gauci says, “People release far more methane than what nature can remove. So we have to cut back on fossil fuels. Trees are even more important for climate than we thought. We must be aware of the need for immediate action to safeguard this vital natural resource.”(Gauci说：“人类释放的甲烷远远超过了大自然能够清除的量。所以我们必须减少化石燃料的使用。树木对气候的重要性比我们想象的还要大。我们必须意识到，需要立即采取行动来保护这一至关重要的自然资源。”)”可知，Gauci说人类释放的甲烷远远超过大自然能够清除的量，所以必须减少化石燃料的使用，并且树木对气候的重要性比我们想象的还要大，我们必须意识到需要立即采取行动来保护树木这一至关重要的自然资源。也就是说他强调了树木对气候的重要性以及保护树木这一自然资源的必要性。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇提到空气中甲烷的来源，接着详细讲述了Gauci及其团队的研究发现，即树木不仅会释放甲烷，还会吸收甲烷，且树木吸收的甲烷量比释放的多，最后强调了树木对气候的重要性以及保护树木的必要性。文章主要围绕树木对甲烷的吸收和释放展开，表明树木对气候有重要作用。选项A“Trees may be big climate heroes(树木可能是对抗气候变化的大英雄)”符合文章主旨，适合作文章标题。故选A。 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。 Technological progress is transforming education, from AI chatbots to the growing accessibility of virtual-reality (VR) tools that expand the boundaries of the classroom. It offers the promise of equal learning opportunities for every student, yet has potential problems. ____16____ In 2023, the big story in technology and education was generative AI, following the introduction of some chatbots that produce text seemingly written by a human in response to a question or suggestion. ____17____ In response to that, some schools move to adopt policies around students’ use of the tool. In the meantime, many schools are beginning to explore potential opportunities. The use of immersive (沉浸式的) technologies like augmented reality (AR), VR, and mixed reality (MR) is also expected to rise rapidly in the classroom, especially as new high-end devices integrating these realities hit the marketplace in 2024. Students can create their own local interactive 360-degree scenes with basic devices. ____18____ ____19____ While it often features dynamic videos and motivates students with rewards, the downside is that rewards are specific to the activity at hand, which may not extend to learning more generally. More creative game patterns that give students points for rethinking an approach or adapting their strategy, rather than only rewarding them for quickly producing a correct response, are needed. In brief, technology challenges our traditional views on education. It has the risk of reproducing biases (偏见) but also offers new teaching and learning prospects. ____20____ We also should explore new educational methods to make the most of these technologies. A. We should rethink our educational practices. B. Gamification of learning activities is another growing trend. C. Educators immediately worry about students using it to cheat. D. Integrating AI into VR will further enrich the learning experiences. E. And the teacher’s acceptances of these new technologies varies greatly. F. This has caused more attention to technologies taking center stage in the classroom. G. However, some educators may overlook the risks and overemphasize the prospects. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. D 19. B 20.

However, to my disappointment, I was assigned to Mr. Henderson, a most cold and strict editor in the office. He was a man of few words who never smiled at anyone. He constantly rejected my drafts, leaving messy red-ink notes all over the empty space of my papers. “Where is the core fact?” “Where is the emotion?” he would write. Those notes were harsh (严苛的), but strangely, they were also incredibly detailed, always pointing out exactly where and how a story was weak. Still, facing his sharp eyes and endless criticism day after day, I felt so defeated that I seriously considered quitting. I was convinced that he just didn’t like me. Then, a huge story broke. A historic building downtown, one that had stood for over a century as a symbol of our town, suddenly caught fire, and our newspaper needed an urgent headline report. Yet, right at that important moment, Mr. Henderson unexpectedly fell ill. Before going to the hospital, he walked slowly to my desk, his face pale. Without saying a word, he placed his old, thick notebook on my desk, which he always carried with him. He tapped on it, and left me in total charge of the big report. Racing against time, I rushed to the smoke-filled scene, interviewed shocked witnesses, and gathered facts. The big fire had destroyed the roof, leaving only the black brick walls standing. When I hurried back, only three hours remained before the final deadline. Sitting before the computer with my shaking hands, I typed anxiously. I rewrote the opening three times, deleting sentences back and forth. Each version felt lifeless. I just couldn’t find the core fact or the emotion Mr. Henderson always demanded. The wall clock counted down to my failure. Depressed, I pulled at my hair. My heart sank as the letters seemed to laugh at my helplessness. 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook.​ Flipping it open with trembling fingers, I discovered it wasn’t filled with grand theories but meticulous observations: the smell of smoke mixed with old rain, the chipped paint on the doorknob, the exact shade of ash on the windowsills. Most strikingly, he had recorded a quote from the building’s caretaker years ago: “These walls remember every footstep.” Inspired, I wove these sensory details and the poignant quote into my lead. As the final seconds ticked away, I hit “Send” with a racing heart, praying the soul of the story had finally emerged from the ashes. Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper.​ He placed it on my desk, folded to reveal my byline on the front page. “You found the heartbeat,” he said, his voice softer than I’d ever heard. I stared at the headline, tears blurring my vision. He tapped the margin where he once wrote harsh critiques, now replaced by a single note in his neat script: “This is where the truth lives.” In that moment, I realized his coldness had been a crucible, forging not just my skills, but my understanding of empathy in storytelling. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了一位怀揣梦想却屡遭打击的新记者，在严厉导师因病缺席的危急时刻，通过导师留下的笔记本领悟到新闻写作的真谛，最终独立完成头版报道，实现了师徒间跨越冷漠的情感和解与精神传承的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者翻看笔记本获得写作灵感，紧急完善稿件并按时提交。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写编辑肯定作者的报道，作者解开误会、明白严苛教导的深意。 2.续写线索：发现笔记本——获取细节灵感——完善提交稿件——编辑归来表扬——解开误会——收获成长顿悟 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①发现：discover/find/spot ②凝视：stare at/gaze at/fix one’s eyes on 情绪类 ①备受鼓舞的：inspired/motivated/encouraged ②温柔平和的：soft/gentle/mild 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the final seconds ticked away, I hit “Send” with a racing heart, praying the soul of the story had finally emerged from the ashes.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，现在分词作状语，that引导的宾语从句，that被省略） 【高分句型2】I stared at the headline, tears blurring my vision.（运用了“名词+现在分词”构成的独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
