Songs have a powerful effect on us.Has anyone discovered the joy of singing in a choir()?Mary works as a busy teacher,and choir practice nights are simply her"sanity"."There are nights when even I don't feel like going to choir but by the time we've finished,I'm glad I came,"said Mary. Research says choiring is really good for you.By monitoring the health signs of members of a choir,Bjorn Vickoff at Sweden University discovered the singers'hearts started to beat in step with their breathing.There seemed to be a wave of air moving through the group,making them feel connected as one.Research has proved that choiring has comforting effects similar to those that come from breathing exercises in yoga. Singing also produces hormones()and other happy chemicals,fighting against depression and loneliness.Singers have been found to have lower levels of stress after choiring.And a later study also found that singing relieves anxiety and that group singing can be especially beneficial to the health of older adults. At the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival,choir after choir was put on stage by singers with no big names.But this is real music to Tony Backhouse's ears.The choirmaster spent three decades in Australia founding and working with choral groups."If I were asked to redesign the Australian educational system,I would start by insisting that group singing become a central part of the daily routine.I believe it builds character and,more than anything else,encourage a taste for cooperation with others,"said Tony.For him,the meaning of group singing is "cooperation,rather than competition.Singing teaches us to listen,which is a great gift.In my community choir,it's about creating something amazing together,and we really aim to make every rehearsal a thing of joy and beauty." 24.What does the underlined "sanity"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Duty. B.Routine. C.Relief. D.Suffering. 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 070-LZ 25.According to Bjorn Vickoff's study,what caused the change of the singers'heart rates? A.Their long-term practice. B.The monitoring machine. C.The pattern of their breathing. D.The airflow condition on the stage. 26.How does choiring benefit singers? A.It builds physical strength. B.It raises the singers'heart rate. C.It lowers stress level. D.It reduces chemicals in their bodies. 27.What can we infer from Tony Backhouse's words about choiring? A.It's a recent educational trend in Australia. B.It is especially helpful for singers with no big names. C.It should replace other subjects in the educational system. D.It helps students develop good qualities and teamwork spirit. C For many kids,the Internet is at their fingertips.From computers to smartphones,a web of information is open to them.According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre,about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time.Many younger kids are online too. Julian Zeitlinger,9,from New Jersey,uses his computer to watch videos and play games.To keep him safe online,his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him."I ask my parents if something is wrong."Julian says.Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information.The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands.A study found that 62%of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience. Have you ever had to enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up for a website?That safety measure is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act(COPPA).The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information,such as a phone number or full name,without a parent's permission. This July,the Federal Trade Commission(FTC)will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smartphones."The nature of the way kids get online has changed,"FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.When the changes take effect,COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising.It will expand what falls under "personal information"to include videos,photographs and services that give out users'location. COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong online.That's why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online. "There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA,it is totally safe,"says privacy expert Shai Samet.He runs KidSAFE,which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe."It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,"he adds. 28.Julian's parents check his web use to make sure A.he stays safe on the Internet B.he doesn't play computer games C.he doesn't watch too many videos D.he controls his online time 29.How does the author explain children's unpleasant online experiences? A.By describing his own experiences. B.By presenting scientific research. C.By showing differences. D.By using examples. 30.People often hold the wrong idea that A.formal websites are always safe B.the Internet is becoming safer and safer C.COPPA can ensure their complete safety D.daily checks prevent future online problems 【高二英语第4页（共8页）】 070-LZ 31.What is the text mainly about? A.Why parents should monitor kids'web use. B.The risks of using mobile devices. C.Online safety for kids. D.How the COPPA law protects children's privacy. D Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors() placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale(solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper,the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power.Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average.The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world's future solar farms,particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high.The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm()to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun's rays most effectively,maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening.The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day-equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr.Onur Celik,one author of the paper,said,"Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels."Moreover,the price of solar panels(太阳能电池板)has dropped quickly in recent years,.increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power,of course,is that it can only be generated during daylight hours.Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come.Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 32.What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A.To improve communication between Earth and space. B.To bring the effects of climate change under control. C.To produce electricity for agricultural use. D.To increase the production of solar power. 33.What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A.The increased demand for electricity. B.The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C.The development of space technology. D.The requirement to preserve the environment. 34.What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A.They'll be more cost-effective and efficient. B.They'll become the main source of energy. C.They'll replace fossil fuels completely. D.They'll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 35.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.A marketing brochure. B.A maths website. C.A news report. D.A policy brief. 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 070-LZ 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What kind of things did you ask an AI tool to do for you recently?36.But some experts are worried that asking AI to do such tasks means your brain is working less,and that it might be damaging your critical thinking and independent problem-solving ability. Earlier this year,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)carried out an experiment.37.The study revealed that higher confidence in the tools'ability to perform a task was related to less critical thinking effort. "38,we are worried that long-term over-reliance on AI could be harmful for critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills,"the researchers warned. Schoolchildren in the UK were similarly surveyed in a study published in October by Oxford University.39. So,with the massive explosion of AI use,are our critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills really at risk of decline and should they be abandoned? "Not necessarily,"said Dr Alexandra Tomescu,an AI specialist who worked on the school survey."Nine in 10 students told us that AI tools have helped them develop at least one skill related to schoolwork-be it creativity or revision.But at the same time,about a quarter said that AI tools made it too easy to do work for them.40.” A.So it's quite a mixed picture B.It came to the same conclusion C.Although they turned to AI tools a lot D.While AI tools can increase efficiency at work E.It ranged from tracking down information sources to writing essays F.Maybe you used it to summarize an essay or analyze data for new ideas G.They studied 319 white-collar workers who frequently used AI tools for their jobs 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。 Ryan Neighbors,a fourth grader at Tully Elementary in Louisville,was born with spina bifida()and has to rely on a wheelchair to get around.While she is comfortable in the classroom,field trips have often been out of reach 41 mobility challenges.

One cool autumn morning,Elara heard an old story about a mysterious hidden cave deep in the Enchanted Woods.It was said that those who entered the cave would find their true selves.Excited by the tale,she persuaded Kael to explore the cave with her.At sunrise,they packed some necessities and set off,their hearts full of hope and curiosity. As they walked deeper into the woods,the trees grew taller and thicker,and the air was filled with the scent of moss and leaves.The gentle wind whispered among branches,adding magic to their journey.After hours of walking,they finally found a narrow cave entrance hidden behind ivy().The inside of the cave was large, with pointed rocks hanging from the top and rising from the ground,and everything was quiet and mysterious. They walked on happily until they reached a fork in the path.Elara wanted to take the right path,which was bright and lined with shining crystals().Kael preferred the left path,which was quiet and marked with strange ancient symbols.For the first time,they disagreed strongly.Neither wanted to give in,and the silence made the moment feel tense and uncomfortable.Their close friendship was suddenly put to a real,difficult test. Eventually,Elara insisted that going separate ways would allow them to explore more,and Kael,though worried,agreed.They promised to meet at the entrance before dusk(). 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。 Both felt a little scared walking alone,but they kept moving forward bravely.
