B In the ever-evolving world of music,where tradition meets technology,composer Tan Dun stands at the forefront of innovation.Known for weaving the ancient with the modern,his latest creation,Sound River-AI Symphony with Film,Electronics and Large Orchestra,was performed in Chengdu recently. Through this piece,Tan invites audiences to set out on a journey that bridges the past,present,and future. Tan's musical journey is one of constant exploration.Wherever he travels,he seeks out unique sounds. In2024,while in Hong Kong,he came across a rare gem(宝石)：the voice of partially sighted(视力部分受 )elderly artist Tong Siu-yin,singing the nearly forgotten Dishui Nanyin.Tan was deeply moved to tears by her sad repeated lines:"Although I can't see,I hear you."He realized that these are living fossils of folk culture that are disappearing."If their music fades,their stories vanish,and history breaks,"he says. This realization sparked the creation of Sound River. For Tan,Sound River is not merely a musical composition but a bold step toward the future.By feeding the symphony score into an AI system,Tan seeks to uncover how technology interprets the concept of a river -a theme deeply rooted in classical music."Rivers never stop flowing,and neither does history,"he explains."Art and science have always been the two most important driving forces in human development.I want to explore their intersection."He worked with his AI studio to create pieces of music, such as the vocal chant Although I Can't See,I Hear You',and wove them into the orchestration,describing this dialogue between AI and symphony as a "reflection on the interplay between the universe and the metaverse(虚拟世界)." The concert in Chengdu was a sensory feast.Breaking away from traditional arrangements,the ensemble ()was arranged in an S-shape,extending into the audience to imitate the winding flow of a river.A large screen displayed 16 documentary shorts capturing Tan's sound collections from the past 12 years.Featuring a rich variety of global sounds,the piece received high praise from the musicians.Sound River is scheduled to be performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 2027,further proving Tan's belief that classical musicians must engage with new possibilities as humanity enters the AI era. 24.What inspired Tan Dun to compose Sound River? A.His desire to promote Western classical music in China. B.His encounter with a disappearing traditional folk music genre. C.His ambition to replace human composers with AI technology. D.His childhood memories of listening to rivers in his hometown. 25.Why does Tan Dun mention "rivers never stop flowing"? A.To explain the geographical origins of his musical inspirations. B.To compare the AI system with the natural flow of water. C.To emphasize the continuous evolution of history and art. D.To criticize classical musicians for ignoring modern technology. 26.What kind of person is Tan Dun according to the passage? A.Traditional and conservative. B.Innovative and adventurous. C.Skeptical and cautious. D.Commercial and practical. 高三英语试卷（共10页)第4页 Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效同书 27.What can we infer about the performance of Sound River in Chengdu? A.It strictly followed traditional orchestral seating arrangements. B.It was an immersive experience combining visual and auditory elements. C.It was poorly received due to the extensive use of AI technology. D.It was the last time the piece would ever be performed live. C The motion of fluids seems simple,but the equations()describing their behavior form one of the most challenging puzzles in mathematics.Thanks to artificial intelligence,this long-standing puzzle now seems solved,though the breakthrough has given rise to heated debate among scientists. OpenAI has put forward a solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem,one of the famous Millennium Prize Problems worth a one-million-dollar reward."It serves as a guiding problem in this field.Getting its answer means a lot,"commented Dallas Albritton,a mathematician uninvolved in the project. Dating back to the 19th century,Navier-Stokes equations show how pressure,density and fluid velocity (change over time.They lay a solid foundation for science and engineering,applied in weather forecasting,ocean-current research and aircraft design.Yet scientists have never fully understood them.They wonder whether the equations always function normally.Under certain conditions,the equations might break down and produce physically impossible results called "blowups",where fluids theoretically flow at infinite speed. Before OpenAI's announcement,two mathematicians made progress on the related Euler equations, which ignore viscosity,a property describing fluids'resistance to flow.Their work acted as a helpful stepping-stone toward the Navier-Stokes puzzle. Using thousands of AI agents,OpenAI researchers found a blowup case for the forced Navier-Stokes problem.A vortex (grows thinner and accelerates endlessly until its speed becomes infinite.This finding proves the equations do not always work perfectly.A professional tool has checked the proof,yet mathematicians are still studying the lengthy 166-page paper. AI is bringing revolutionary changes to mathematics.Apart from scientific value,the result raises a thought-provoking question:how should people assign credit for discoveries where AI takes part?Many experts regard it as a vital issue demanding careful settlement. 28.Why is the Navier-Stokes problem of great significance to mathematicians? A.It can help increase the profit of engineering industry. B.It is a key problem guiding research in the related field. C.It has offered answers to most physics mysteries. D.It has brought huge prize money to researchers. 29.What is many experts'attitude towards the role AI plays in scientific discoveries? A.Doubtful. B.Disapproving. C.Cautious. D.Dismissive. 30.What can we infer about the Euler equations from the text? A.They share exactly the same settings as Navier-Stokes equations. 高三英语试卷（共10页）第5页 ▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 B.They leave out a factor considered in Navier-Stokes equations. C.They have already found the final answer to blow-up phenomena. D.They are widely used in real-world weather-forecast practice. 31.Which of the following is the suitable title for the text? A.Millennium Prize:The Most Valuable Math Award B.Euler Equations:A Breakthrough in Fluid Study C.AI Helps Crack a Tricky Math Puzzle and Sparks New Questions D.Computer Tools Improve Mathematical Proof-checking Work D In New York state,a small fire glimmers behind a waterfall.It's a natural phenomenon that has captured imaginations for thousands of years:the eternal fire.These continuously burning flames are found around the world.But what are they and how do they continue burning for so long? "Eternal flames can be considered a special case of seep (),"says Giuseppe Etiope,a geologist at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome,Italy.Seepage happens when natural flammable gas underground -mostly methane,ethane,and propane -travels to the surface through fractures or holes in the rock.In special conditions,when the gas reaching the surface has a high enough concentration of methane,it"can burn autonomously,"says Etiope."They are like a flag that says,here is an intense emission'."Fueled by a continuous emission of gas,some flames can burn for thousands of years "And from this,the word eternal flame,"he says. These mystifying flames feature in many mythologies (and ancient history.In Azerbaijan,a flame burning on a hillside near Baku-its name Yanardag'means burning mountain -was considered sacred in the Zoroastrian religion,which believed fire was a representation of God.In addition,Chimaera in Turkey's Antalya Gulf-once called ancient Lycia -is named after the fire-breathing monster from Greek mythology.Close to a temple of Hephaestus,the Greek blacksmith god of fire,it may be where the Olympic flame was first lit. Although some of these fires have burned for millennia,eternal flames can be extinguished.Some fires might be put out by rainfall but,depending on the intensity of the gas seep and the ground conditions,"they can re-burn autonomously,"says Etiope.In Chestnut Ridge,splashing water into the bay can extinguish the fire."I did that a few times myself when I was about to sample the gas for geochemical analyses,"says Schimmelmann."It is always a challenge to re-ignite the fire without being wetted by the pouring water of the waterfall."He notes that he always successfully re-ignited the flame before leaving. According to some scientists,there are so few eternal flames that the environmental impact is negligible compared to the thousands of gas seeps globally.The emissions of both "are minimal compared to industrial emissions,"says Schimmelmann. 32.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A.Eternal flame can be seen as a common leak. B.The burning will cause the emission of methane. C.With methane on the surface,the burning occurs on its own. D.Eternal flame is a hint for constant release of flammable gas. 高三英语试卷（共10页)第6页 ▣▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 33.Why does the article mention Chimaera in paragraph3? A.To suggest why etemal flame exists. B.To show the cultural significance of fire. C.To compare it with other ancient mythologies. D.To introduce the origin of the Olympic flame. 34.What should scientists do first to research eternal fire? A.By re-igniting it. B.By fueling it. C.By extinguishing it. D.By sampling it. 35.What does the word "negligible in the last paragraph mean? A.Tiny. B.Massive. C.Regional. D.Ignorant. 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填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Forget convenience culture.Experts say adding a little friction (to your life can boost your brain,build resilience and make you feel more human.Recently,I spent 20 minutes trying to download an app to control my TV while the actual remote sat inches away.I realized then that something had gone terribly wrong with my relationship with convenience.(36)_ One major benefit is building resilience."No amount of AI or convenience can remove failure, heartbreak or disappointment from life,"says Dr.Uchida.(37)If you skip those experiences,you never develop the emotional muscle memory for the really hard stuff.Furthermore,problem-solving trains your "brain muscles.Just as your arms atrophy()if you never lift anything heavier than a smartphone, your cognitive abilities weaken without challenges. Difficulty also creates meaning through effort.If you didn't work for it,your brain struggles to register it as meaningful.(38)Hutchins describes the mental pathway in terms of a broken electrical circuit: "Remove the resistance and you remove the signal.This also applies to memory.We tend to forget facts when they are not stored along with an emotional memory,which explains why we recall every detail of a disastrous trip but barely remember a perfectly organized vacation. Friction is essential for connection and creativity,too.(39)"Boredom is the nursery of originality,"Hutchins says.If we constantly fill each momentary gap with scrolling,we never allow our minds to enter the idle time where new insights occur. Ready to add some friction without going full Luddite?The goal is not suffering for its own sake,but reclaiming experiences that make you feel alive.(40)For instance,try writing by hand to produce a different kind of thinking,or go to the store to converse with a human being.As a recovering convenience addict,I've started taking walks without my phone.The friction is where the living happens. A.Relationship friction,like negotiating disagreement,builds connection. B.Resilience isn't downloaded or automated;it's earned through lived experience. C.Instead of asking if something makes life easier,ask if it makes you more immersed. D.Instant gratification transforms individuals from active participants into mere audience. E.We need to wrestle with language to sharpen our minds rather than relying on AI tools. F.Struggles and frustrations are actually building something important,much like resilience. G.This realization reflects a new trend called"friction-maxxing":intentionally making things harder. 高三英语试卷（共10页)第7页 ▣紫▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效茴$ 第三部分语盲运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） Life Behind the Lens An old man riding an ordinary bicycle around the streets of New York,always wore the same worker's jacket.If you saw him,you'd never think there was anything 41 about him.And yet every member of New York's high society wanted nothing more than to 42 for this man.

Jayden Sink and Kimberly Laprad had planned a small wedding on Hatteras Island in North Carolina, expecting about 45 family members and friends to attend.Then a fierce storm struck.Severe damage to the local highway cut off access to the island.Most of their guests were trapped on the opposite side and could not make it to the ceremony. Jayden and Kimberly had already arrived on the island with only a few members of their wedding party. Their long-awaited wedding was facing complete failure.They considered calling off the celebration out of disappointment.However,one of their friends posted an open invitation on social media.The message read: "Whether you're a local,here on vacation,a couple looking for something to do,or a family wanting to get out and meet some new people,you're more than welcome to come celebrate Jayden and his wife Kim with us!I know inviting complete strangers to a wedding celebration is a little out of the norm,but honestly, that's what could make this something they'll talk about for the rest of their lives.Sometimes the best memories come from the things that weren't planned." The post spread quickly.Unexpected crowds kept pouring in.What was originally a tiny wedding turned into a big community celebration at a local campground,with over 400 strangers turning up.Within less than 24 hours,the storm-ruined wedding was transformed into a grand celebration.Yet so many people showed up that the food prepared was soon used up.Fortunately,more food and donations kept arriving from all over the island.Strangers gave their sincere blessings,filling the whole campground with warmth. 注意： 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Standing among the warm crowd,Jayden and Kimberly watched countless strangers devote themselves to their wedding..
