B Ernst Mach was a weak child,born in Moravia (now Czechia)in 1838.He didn't even go to school until the age of 14.Instead,his parents educated him at home.Like many genius children,his teachers criticized him,calling him"unteachable,absolutely talentless."Yet young Mach excelled at university in Vienna.He studied mathematics,physics and philosophy.He was also boundlessly curious.He conducted all kinds of experiments,believing that theories must be tried,tested,and proven in facts,but first formulated in the mind.He brought this rigorous (approach to his studies,believing that true science is based on what actually happens and can be observed. In addition to his work in the sciences,Mach was also a well-rounded student,with interests in philosophy and even sports.He was an excellent boxer and fencer,which refiected the wide range of his abilities and interests. As a teacher,Mach was serious and demanding.That was the model of pedagogy (of his time,and Mach followed this standard:tight collar,buttoned-down tie,waistcoat and jacket,and serious eyes behind wire-framed glasses.He expected exactness from his students.Among those he influenced was the young Albert Einstein.Mach's insistence on clarity and rigorous testing of ideas helped shape Einstein's thinking.Though Mach was doubtful about some of Einstein's later conclusions,such as E=me2,his doubt drove Einstein to prove his ideas further.He pushed the young Einstein to achieve excellence. While Mach is credited with many theories of his own,including the aircraft velocity ( measurement that bears his name,"Mach 1.Mach 2,etc.",his mentorship of Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement.The best teachers in our lives also challenge us and see us as not yet complete but full of potential.They shine a light on the path that gets us to a successful reality.And through us, they live on. 24.What can we know about Ernst Mach from paragraph 1? A.He attended university at the age of 14. B.He was considered a genius by his teachers. C.His early education was coached by his parents. D.His physical disability discouraged his studying 25.How did Ernst Mach impact Albert Einstein? A.He challenged Einstein to excel. B.He forced Einstein to give in. C.He introduced new theories to Einstein.D.He inspired Einstein to focus on physics. 26.Which can best describe Ernst Mach? A.Cautious and ambitious. B.Professional and influential.

For example,a recent study in Nature Ecology Evolution documented more than 20 bird species on four continents that give off virtually identical "whining"calls when they spot brood parasites(巢寄生物)such as cuckoos.That call is essentially"the word forcuckoo,,'”says study co-lead author James Kennerley,a wildlife biologist at Cornell University."And it's rounding up individuals to come together against this common enemy." Brood parasites lay eggs in other birds'nests,tricking the host parents into raising their chicks for them.At a field site in Australia,Kennerley has witnessed individuals from a dozen or more species attack a cuckoo in response to a chorus of whining calls.These attacks can be so violent that Kennerley and his coworkers need to cage the cuckoo used in their experiments to protect it. Many birds also share a common vocabulary for predators ()Research by wildlife ecologist Erick Greene,a professor at the University of Montana,and others shows that various songbirds produce recognizable"seet"calls to alert others to an eagle in flight.The calls are at a frequency too high for eagles to detect well,so the predators remain oblivious as information about their arrival shoots through the forest.If the eagle stops on a branch,songbirds switch to"mobbing" calls,a distinct vocalization that,as Greene puts it,"draws in the other birds to drive that eagleoff Cooperative defense is not the only reason for cross-species communication.Among other things, it may help birds enhance food intake.A recent study found that when seabirds with good vision,such as albatrosses,hunt with seabirds with strong senses of smell,'such as petrels,they both have far greater success at catching small shellfish. Clearly,"information is constantly traded between different kinds of animals,which is a fundamental ecological phenomenon,"Greene says."It can be life-saving." 28.What is the main purpose of birds'"whining"calls? A.To attract female mates. B.To indicate food sources. C.To defend their own nests. D.To signal their newborns. 29.What does the underlined word"oblivious"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Unaware. B.Unconcerned. C.Unbearable. D.Uncertain 30.Why do seabirds like albatrosses and petrels cooperate? A.They defend against common predators. B.They try to improve feeding efficiency. C.They need to establish a shared territory. D.They learn hunting skills from each other. 31.What do Greene's words in the last paragraph stress? A.The diversity of ecological phenomena. B.The rareness of multispecies cooperation. C.The complexity of cross-species interactions. D.The significance of interspecies communication. 罗田一中2026年秋高二年级10月月考英语试题 第5页共10页 ▣ 扫描全能王创建 可只 D Deep within the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang,wonderful ancient murals (have whispered stories of faith for centuries.However,these national treasures face the constant threat of natural damage.Today,a new "guardian"has arrived to protect them:Artificial Intelligence (AD).Wang Wanfu,a senior researcher at the Dunhuang Academy,is leading this great change.To him,AI is a bridge connecting ancient art with modern science. The protection begins with a close watch on the environment.Wang's team uses AI to monitor temperature and humidity ()While human eyes might overlook tiny changes,AI can study tens of thousands of high-definition photos to find the tiniest breaks."The key is determining whether the worsening is active,"Wang explains."If risks are found,we step in immediately with targeted techniques before the damage becomes irreplaceable,ensuring the best possible outcome for these precious relics.(遗迹).” The power of AI was evident during the repair of a"flying ribbon"from a Dunhuang painting. By studying various artistic styles across different dynasties,AI's massive computing ability processed thousands of patterns and generated several repair options for the team.This task would have taken humans months or even years to complete.Then,scientists and art historians stepped in to select the most historically accurate plan.This human-machine partnership ensures that technology respects history."Technology brings relics to life,but we must ensure they are passed down in their original forms,"says Wang. Looking ahead,Wang highlights that conservation is becoming a cross-subject field,drawing on areas from microbiology to computer science.He is calling for more young talents to join the mission. "Whatever your background,if you're passionate about heritage,there's a place for you here,"he says.With AI's assistance,Wang is confident that the glory of Dunhuang will continue to inspire the world,proving that the past can indeed have:a bright future. 32.What is Wang Wanfu's view of AI? A.It combines art and science. B.t has massive computing ability. C.It replaces human staff. D.It restores cave structures.I 33.How does AI help in monitoring the murals? A.By decreasing natural damage.B.By controlling temperature C.By discovering potential risks. D.By partly adjusting humidity levels. 34.What was the role of humans in the "flying ribbon"repair? A.Providing repair options. B.Developing artistic styles. C.Choosing the best repair plan. D.Processing massive patterns. 35.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To compare human and AI abilities in art repair. B.To explain the historical value of Dunhuang murals. C.To showcase the advantage of Alover human experts. D.To introduce a new method of preserving ancient art. 罗田一中2026年秋高二年级10月月考英语试题 第6页共10页 扫描全能王创建 可只 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。 As an enthusiastic reader,I've always believed that the key to understanding the world lies in the pages of a book.36They introduce us to characters who feel as real as the people around us. This connection between readers and the text is what makes literature so powerful,and it's why I value my personal library.It's a collection that reflects my journey through the world of words. My library is not vast,but each book is carefully chosen.I have a mix of types in my collection, ranging from classic literature to contemporary fiction().37 Each type offers a different perspective,a new way of looking at life.While some books challenge my thinking,others provide comfort during difficult times.It is important to have a balance.A well-organized library is like a well-balanced diet for the mind. Among my favourites are the works of Jane Austen and George Orwell.Austen's sharp observations on society and relationships are timeless.Her characters are imperfect yet charming. Orwell,on the other hand,offers a stark view of the world.38 _Both authors,though different in style,have taught me invaluable lessons about humanity. 39Biographies (and life stories offer insights into the lives of extraordinary individuals. They remind us that greatness comes in many forms.Reading about the struggles and successes of others can be incredibly inspiring.It's a reminder that we all have the potential to make a difference. These stories encourage me to reflect on my own life and what I wish to leave behind. My library is a reflection of who I am.It's a sign of my love of learning and my desire to understand the world.Each book is a stepping stone on my journey of discovery.They are companions in loneliness and guides in times of uncertainty.40 A.I also enjoy non-fiction. B.I believe in the power of variety. C.My library goes beyond a collection of books. D.His stories are a warning and a call to action. 1” E.Through them,I continue to explore,to grow,and to dream. F.The stories we read shape our world view and broaden our minds G.Historical fiction,in particular,holds a special place in my heart. 第二部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分40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。 罗田一中2026年秋高二年级10月月考英语试题 第7页共10页 扫描全能王创建 Years ago,as a shy and uncertain post-graduate,I took a decent job but felt like wearing ill- fitting shoes.Lost and 41,I waited for inspiration to strike.

One day,Tom's parents brought home a gift-a smart watch."This watch has a special friend inside,"Mom said with a smile."Her name is Ling.She can talk to you,answer your questions,and even tell you stories."A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button.A gentle voice came out,"Hello,Tom!I'm Ling.Nice to meet you!"Tom's eyes lit up.He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on,Ling became Tom's closest companion.Every morning,Ling would say,"Good morning,Tom!Have a great day at school!"Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework,Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations.After Tom got into bed,Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands.Sometimes,when Tom felt scared of the dark,Ling would sing softly to comfort him.To Tom,Ling was more than a voice;she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change."See?Our little boy seems much happier now,"Dad said one evening.Mom agreed,"The watch really helps,"relieved.They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes,after Ling had finished her stories,Tom would lie awake in the darkness,listening to the silence that filled the room.He loved Ling,but he couldn't help thinking:if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school,Tom tripped and fell on the way home.The watch hit a rock with a loud crack.When Tom picked it up,the screen was dark.He pressed the button again and again,but nothing appeared."Ling?Ling,are you there?"he called desperately:There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help.
