B Born in Coldwater,Michigan,in 1884,Harriet Quimby grew up in a poor family.Despite that, encouraged by her mother to believe that she could succeed in any job,she relied on her talents and knowledge to achieve what few women of her time even dared to dream about:becoming an aviator (飞行员) Quimby became interested in aviation in 1910 when she attended the International Aviation Meet at Belmont Park in Elmont,New York,where she met John Moisant,a well-known aviator and operator of a flight school.Quimby learned to fly at the Moisant Aviation School.After four months and thirty-three lessons,Quimby applied for and won her pilot's licence (on August 2,1911, which made her the first American woman to receive a pilot's licence from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale in France. In late 1911,Quimby decided to attempt a sea crossing from England to France.In March 1912, 第2 she sailed for England to begin preparations for her flight.In thickening fog on the morning of April 16, Quimby successfully crossed the sea,landing at Hardelot,about 25 miles south of her original destination.However,her hopes for front-page reports never came true,and her achievement went largely unnoticed in the next day's papers.Despite the disappointment,Quimby loved to fly and continued competing in air events. As one of the country's few female pilots,Quimby gradually drew crowds whenever she competed in cross-country events and races.She showed her talents around the United States and even went to Mexico City to participate in aviation activities held in honor of the inauguration(就职典礼)of President Francisco Madero. Besides her achievement in aviation,Quimby also fought for many women's issues.For example, she pushed for a broadened role for women aviators.One woman impressed by Quimby was Amelia Earhart,who said,"Quimby was a pioneer who helped challenge traditional views about women's roles in society and who made it possible for them to achieve their dreams." 24.What is the significance of Quimby's getting a pilot's licence? A.It helped update safety standards in aviation.B.It redefined the limits on women in aviation. C.It showed the advantage of natural talents.D.It started her long friendship with Moisant. 25.Why was Quimby disappointed after her sea crossing? A.She got totally ignored by the media.B.She experienced the extreme weather. C.She missed the original destination. D.She had to continue competing soon. 26.What does paragraph 4 convey about Quimby? A.Her challenges in cross-country races.B.Her skills in aviation competitions C.Her reputation as a woman pilot. D.Her duty in international aviation. 27.What is Amelia Earhart's attitude towards Quimby? A.Confused. B.Admirable. C.Doubtful. D.Opposing. C There have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI)programs that create art.The programs,creating artworks based on short descriptions,have amazed many people.But they have also raised tough questions. NewsForKids.net reported on Dall-E2,a tool from OpenAl,Dall-E2 uses AI to create incredible paintings,photos,and other artworks in different styles based on simple descriptions.Since then, OpenAI has changed its rules to allow anyone to sign up and use the tool.But it's still putting strong controls on the art that can be created.Now several other AI tools work in similar ways.These new 行共6页 tools are free or cheap,and don't have some of Dall-E2's limits. The new tools are entertaining and powerful.They allow people to quickly see almost any idea they can imagine,even if they aren't artists.For creative workers,the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas. These new Al art tools are all trained in similar ways -using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions.The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots. Step by step,they use their training to change the pattern until parts of the image begin to match the description. However,artists are upset that they're now competing against computers for attention,prizes and jobs.It's hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography appearing on the Internet.The images and descriptions used to train these AI programs were taken from the Internet, therefore,the tools can produce images that aren't appropriate.Yet,what concerned the artists most was that the training images were used without permission,causing questions whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal.Once created,an artwork is protected by copyright.The creators of the training pictures-the photographers,the artists,and even the people in the pictures-have not given permission for their images to be used. 28.How do AI art programs like Dall-E2 create artworks? A.By changing photos taken by users.B.By copying existing famous paintings. C.By asking professional artists for help.D.By using short descriptions as a basis. 29.What aspect of AI art tools does paragraph 4 focus on? A.Their strong functions B.Their working principle. C.Their wide application. D.Their common features. 30.Which factor related to the AI art tools upsets artists most? A.The illegal use of training images from the Internet. B.The great creative ability beyond imagination. C.The inappropriate artwork created by the tools. D.The huge collecting capacity of the Internet. 31.What makes the best title for the text? A.AI Art Tools:Newborn Innovations.B.AI Art Tools:Powerful Competitors. C.AI Art Tools Amaze or Upset Artists?D.AI Art Tools Improve Art Significantly?Lots of D When you next hear beautiful song of birds,you should stop and listen.Researchers have shown that birdsong reduces anxiety and irrational thoughts.Their findings are published in the journal 第3页共 Scientific Reports. In the study,the researchers examined how traffic noise and birdsong affect mood and paranoia()by carrying out an online experiment with 295 participants.These individuals heard six minutes of either typical traffic noise or birdsong.Before and after hearing the audio,the participants filled in questionnaires assessing their mental health "Everyone has certain psychological states.Healthy people can also experience anxious thoughts or temporary paranoid idea.The questionnaires enable us to identify people's tendencies and to investigate the effect of the sounds of birds or traffic on these tendencies,"says first author Emil Stobbe. The present study suggests that listening to birdsong reduces anxiety and paranoia in healthy participants.Birdsong did not appear to have an influence on depressive states in this experiment.Traffic noise,however,generally worsened depressive states,especially if the audio involved many different kinds of traffic sounds. In the researchers'view,the explanation for these effects is that birdsong is an indication of an undamaged natural environment,distracting attention from stressors that could otherwise signal a serious threat."Birdsong could also be applied to prevent mental problems.Listening to an audio CD would be a simple,easily accessible intervention.But if we could already show such effects in an online experiment,we can assume that these are even stronger outdoors in nature,"says Stobbe. "We were recently able to perform a study showing that a one-hour walk in nature reduces brain activity associated with stress,"adds the research group's head Simone Kuhn."We cannot say yet which features of nature-smells,sounds,or colours-are responsible for the effect."What is clear is that nature improves mental health and well-being. 32.What does the underlined word "irrational"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Immoral. B.Irregular.C.Unfair. D.Unreasonable. 33.What was the function of the questionnaires? A.To record the participants'physical states. B.To assess if the participants had mental problems. C.To find out the effect of the audio on the participants. D.To recognise the participants who were anxious. 34.Why can birdsong reduce anxiety according to the researchers? A.Natural things are proved good for mental health. B.Different sounds can distract people's attention. C.Simple and easy things make people relax. 什（而 D.Birdsong is a signal of a safe environment. 35.What might be suggested to reduce your stress? A.Taking a walk in nature. B.Listening to a CD at home. C.Looking for birds outdoors.D.Keeping away from traffic noise. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Overcome Depression Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily life.

Through step-by-step instructions, even those hesitant with technology gradually gained confidence. This experience empowered the seniors to embrace the digital life. Every “I finally did it!” smile has reminded me that bridging this gap goes beyond goodwill — it’s a shared mission to build a future where technology unites, not divides. 第二节（满分25分） Seeing the kids’ unsettled faces, Mrs. Mathew decided to do something.
