CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp 第二部分阅读共两节，满分50分) 第一节共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A This week on Ask a Teacher,we answer the following question from a listener. Dear teacher, Could you please say more about the meaning of "appeal?" Thank you. Let's look at the many ways we can use the word"appeal". As a verb,"appeal"means making a request,often in official situations.Generally,we do not use"appeal"for everyday requests.For example,we would not say: I appeal to you to get some milk at the store. Appealing We can change the meaning of "appeal"by making it an adjective.One way to do this is to use the -ing ending.Consider the following exampies: Her dress looks really appealing. That argument is appealing to many voters. Used as a nou肚 "appeal"describes a formal or urgent request,for example: The employees made an appeal to reduce the number of hours of work. As a noun,"appeal"also describes a quality that creates interest,sympathy,or attraction. Here are some examples: The museum's design has a lot of appeal. The appeal of that music is its simplicity. Using“appeal”in the law "Appeal"is also often used in legal matters-both as a noun or a verb.As a noun,it means a formal request to a court to review a decision by another court.If one court accepts the other's request,we can say the court "granted"the appeal.If the court rejects,we can say the court “denied''it. The following example shows"appeal"being used as a verb in legal English: The defense team will likely appeal the decision. An adjective form of“appeal”is also used in the legal system.The adjective“appellate” describes a kind of court that deals with cases that have been appealed. 21.Which content is NOT mentioned about"appeal"? A.Its initial source and history. B.Its different parts of speech. C.Its extensions and special uses D.Its meanings and specific contexts. 22.How does the author develop the text? A.By making coutrast. B.By giving examples. 3 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App C.By citing references. D:By providing a definition. 23.Where is the text probably taken from? A.An English-English dictronary. B.A guidebook on English grammar. C.An English textbook on writing. D.A draft of an English lecture broadcast B I studied graphic design at university,and after graduating,landed a job a few towns over. My commute involved a train,a bus,and a walk down a country lane in my high-vis jacket.Like many,I had that classic thought:I don't want to be doing this for the rest of my life. So I decided I'd write a book,convinced it would be my ticket out of the 9-to-5 routine.So,like many first attempts,.I was immersed in a novel that was rubbish,And as the cliche(陈词滥调) goes,life happened and writing slipped to the dustbin. A few years later,searching for my purpose and longing for a better work-life balance,I began training as a tutor.Around the edges of that,I tried writing,including Amy Sparkes' Picture Book Course during lockdown.However,disaster hit when Irealized my draft was essentially a nonsense that had been done before.I felt ready to give up.And then I asked myself: What story can I tell that's completely unique to me?Something no one else can write?And that's how my first novel,Officially Losing It,was born.My agent and I were very excited about that. Later,we received so much encouraging feedback on my voice,but editors struggled to figure out exactly where the book would sit on the shelf.So we didn't sell.As they say,that book died on sub.But my lovely agent didn't give up.She reached out to an editor who'd previously loved my writing and voice and said,"Are you absolutely sure you don't want to publish this? Because Becca is great." The editor-the wonderfully amazing Amy Mae Baxter-said,"Afraid not,but I do have an IP project I think Becca would be perfect for.Would she like to have a go?"So,I did.I knew in my heart I wanted to write this book.Clearly that passion shone through.Later,I got the job! There was still plenty of space to make the book entirely my own,and Amy and I were so creative that it was a total joy from start to finish. So is this the end of the story?OF COURSE NOT!Onwards I roll,still full of optimism, brimming with ideas,and one step closer to that desperately dreamed of ideal life! 24.What was the key factor that led to the birth of the author's first novel? A.The technical skills from Picture Book Course. B.The encouragement from editors about her draft. C.The intervention from agent in fiuding a publisher. D.The moment of self-reflection about her unique story. 25.Whatdoes the underlined part"died on sub"in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A.The book caused the author to feel depressed. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap印 B.The book failed to get accepted after being submitted C.The book contained a storyline about a character's death D.The book was only published in an underground manner. 26.What is the passage mainly about? A.The importance of formal education in writing. B.The journey of career pursuit of a creative dream. C.The challenges of the traditional publishing industry. D.The experience of securing a writing job through an audition 27.Which of the following best describes the author? A Ambitious and cautious. B.Optimistic and determined. C.Contident and considerate. D.Humorous and independent. C A new study out of King's College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date.It was conducted by the researchers from the university,who got half of the participants,including 50 volunteers,aged 18 to 40,to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet,Van Gogh,and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London.The control group,on the other hand,looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment. All of the participants'heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions,and saliva (samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels-a key stress hormone (in the human body-fell by an average of 22%in the gallery group,compared to just 8%in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity,which shows that art attracts the body.Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory ( proteins IL6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30%and 28%respectively for those viewing art in galleries,with no observable changes for the control group. "Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems,from heart disease to anxiety and depression,"explained Dr.Tony Woods,the study's senior author."The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body. Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being,but this study is the first to "capture real-time physiological benefits",which shows an immediate positive impact."This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you.What's particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasivethey can be exporienced by anyone,"said Jenny Waldman,the director of Art Fund."We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery,and discover just how good art can make you feel.” 28.What does the new study focus on? CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App A.Differences between artistic styles. B.Participants'preferences for artists. C.Effects of art on various environmenta D.Participants'physical reactions to art. 29.What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A.It mainly improves creative thinkig. B.It changes participants'health indicators. C.It demands a certain art appreciation level. D.It has the greatest impact on mental health 30.What does the underlined word "pervasive"in the last paragraph mean? A.Surprising.B.Predictable.C.Universal. D.Continuous. 31.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Museum Trips Bring Intmediate Benefits. B.Copying Masterpieoes Lowets Stress C.London Leads World Gallery Tors. D.Sensors Reveal Visitors'Secrets. D Cooking is a unique cultural phenomenon at the core of human creative efforts.Recipes, flavour,nutrition,and health form the pieces of the food puzzle.In the last decade,computer- based food science has developed as a powerful data science aided by structured collections of cooking databases,field-specific algorithms ()and applications. For instance,RecipeDB,a structured collection of recipes from global cuisines and underlying algorithms that can identify culinary elements,is ripe for exploration.This organized database can help estimate the nutritional value of dishes,among other things. Similarly,FlavorDB represents the taste and smell correlates(相关的事物)of food ingredients,, recording the reasons behind their use in cooking.Data from studies on the health effects of food and estimated carbon footprints of recipes highlight important health and environmental impacts, crucial for public health and sustainability. Attempts have been made to develop recipe generation algorithms via text generation and LLMs(Large Language Models),like Ratatouille,powered by 118,000 global structured recipes and advanced named entity (recognition.Yet it is harder to evaluate computer-generated recipes than LLM-written poetry,paintings or music.The "Turing Test for Chefs"has experts rate recipes-both traditional and AI-geuclated-on a scale from 0(AI-made)to 5 (human- made).Delhi hotel management final-year students tested Ratatouille,with LLM models achieving 69.88%F1-score success.The algorithm behind it provided detailed instructions on ingredients and quantities,pre-processing steps,cooking steps,and the appropriate cookers and methods. Novel recipe-generation strategies have the potential to create tasty and nutritious dishes with public health consequences.When combined with appropriate data,these can also generate personalised,cost-effective,and environmentally sustainable recipes.However,taste will remain CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App a crucial faotor iu the acceptance of AI-generated recipes.Therefore,the skill and creativity of chefs will be essential to make sense of the output of AI.More and more cooking-related data is available now,and cooking involves complex senses.AI will help boost people's creativity,but it can never take people's place. 32.What do RecipeDB and FlavorDB have in common? A They focus on health effects. B.They teach cooking methods C.They clarify the cooking logic. D.They analyse food interactions 33.What do we know about Ratatouille? A.It addressed taste-related issues.B.It offered standardized operations. C.It skipped pre-processing stcps D.It outperformed professional chefs. 34.Why is AI unlikely to replace chefs? A.It lacks consideration of taste. B.It misses enough culinary data C.It creates dishes without novelty. D.It misinterprets customers'needs. 35.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Judges of AI Recipes B.Keys to Tasty Pishes C.Rulers"of the Cooking Area D.ANew“Cook”in Our Kitchen 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。 Ambivalence(矛盾心理)refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being "on the fence"about making some change.For example,you must have said,"I should start exenelsing,but it's tough to find the time."36Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper(干涉者)，an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? 37 Whon we lack understanding about the uncertainty,our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited.Furthermore,without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons,we risk employing harmful labets that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others."I must be lazy.""She has no self-discipline." A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of ir tlecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing.38 You can also make a difference via this method,no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food,lose weight,or reduce screen time. From a motivational interviewing viewpoint,the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change.If we con't feel strongly that it's important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to talra the nccessary steps,chances are very high that we will waver(on moving forward.39 The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp human life.It's true for us,and it's true for others,including our family members and friends,and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives.40 Dy doing this,we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence A.And the opposite of that is also true. B.It'll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. C.Thus,we'll feel highly motivated to make the change. D.Think about a kind of behavior you've been hesitant to change. B.It's been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. F.Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. G.Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. 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。 My son Kimran started playing soccer at nine.From the moment he volunteered to be the goalkeeper,I could 41 his enthusiasm.However,those initial years were challenging.

Last year,I hiked along the ancient Silk Road in Xinjiang.Standing before a weathered beacon tower in the Gobi Desert,I suddenly sensed the loneliness of ancient guards stationed there. Running my fingers over the rough bricks,I felt centuries of dust come alive.Later,I was offered warm flatbread by a local Uyghur family,whose genuine hospitality touched me a lot. That far journey didn'tjust open my eyes;it opened my heart to lives and stories that no books could ever capture.And that,I believe,is the true reward of traveling far.(120 words) Possible version 2: Travel Far,Know More The proverb"A person who travels far knows more"suggests that stepping out of our comfort zone exposes us to realities beyond books. I learned this truth in a remote village,planting rice alongside locals.We stood in the muddy fields,bending over for hours under the scorching sun,until my back ached and my legs were covered with mosquito bites.An old woman with a sunburnt face smiled and handed me a bowl of tea,which moved me to tears.I came to help,but left knowing the cost of every grain and the warmth of strangers. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App 高二英语限时作业答案 The trip taught me that traveling far isn't about distance,but about stepping into others'lives. and reflecting on ours.The farther we go,the more we know.(126 words) 听力原文： 1.【原文】 M:Let's paint this wall yellow and move the bed to the window.

M:Great!Now let's put it in the oven and wait.I'm sure Jenny's going to love it. 9.【原文】 M:I can't believe this.I have been on the phone with my bank all day and they still haven't fixed my problem. W:Is it a credit card probiem? M:Yes.My credit card information was stolen.When I got my bill in the mail,I saw there were many unfamiliar purchases on it. W:That's terrible.Did they take a lot of money? M:Yes,and I am very upset because the bank is not helping me quickly W:Doesn't the bank's manager decide to give your money back? M:No.I just have to prove that these purchases were not made by me.I think the person who stole my information got it from the Internet.I didn't download anything recently.I just bought a collection of movies.I won't be doing that again unless the website is sure to be safe.It's honestly my fault for being careless. W:You can never be too careful. 10.【原文】 M:Books have always been an important part of people's lives.Libraries were important parts of both universities and town centers,and many of the first successful companies in modern times made their money by selling books.Like newspapers,publishers used to have a lot of power and influence,but nowadays,the companies that control digital information seem to have taken over. In particular,e-books have replaced traditional books for most modern readers,especially in big cities,for whom everything has to be easy to carry and convenient to use.Tech companies like Amazon and Apple sell "e-readers"that can contain thousands of books,and their online stores list millions of titles,far more than any bookstore could ever hold.As more and more people buy computers,smart phones,and tablets,the market for e-books continues to grow.Many traditional book publishers and bookstores have gone out of business.For example,Border's Group used to be one of the largest bookstores in the United States,with more than 600 locations and billions of dollars in sales every year.But after e-books appeared,they started losing money and had to close all their stores.
