"Rain and snow are the worst enemies of these old walls,"he told his team,and packed his tools quickly. He drove through the storm across the provincial border to Yangcun Village.The four-story building stood silent beneath the grey sky,its rammed-earth (walls damp-darkened.Zhong stepped closer,tapped gently with his small hammer,and listened."Still solid,"he nodded in relief. To most visitors,these round houses are mere curiosities.For Zhong,they represent memory, duty,and identity.Raised in one,he took up carpentry at 16 and stuck to the craft.Their strength comes not only from clay and lime,but also from brown sugar,egg whites,and sticky rice- ingredients aged for months for use in defensive walls."Ancient wisdom,"he said with a smile. Yet such wisdom is fragile.Skilled craftsmen were scarce in the 1980s,and the shortage persists today.His nephew Li Minghua,also a master,sighs about youth:"They favor city apartments.My team's youngest member is over 40." Zhong travels nationwide to learn from masters,consulting historians and former residents, and recording every detail."Each house bears a unique story.Restoration must stay true to original materials,measurements,and methods,"he says. By 2023,Longnan had restored nearly 100 round houses,but Zhong sees no victory here. "My biggest concern is skill inheritance.As the senior craftsman,I must set an example."His team now totals more than 50 members.Still,the real question remains:will young people choose working with traditional rammed-earth construction over urban comfort?The answer remains uncertain. 24.Why does Zhong tap the old wall with his hammer? A.To record building data. B.To repair broken walls C.To take measurements. D.To check its condition. 25.What makes Hakka round house walls tough? A.Local modern building clay. B.Specially mixed and aged materials. C.Common kitchen ingredients. D.Modern protective chemicals. 26.What is Zhong's attitude toward restoration work? A.Casual and careless. B.Proud and worried. C.Cautious and faithful. D.Doubtful and negative. 27.What is victory in Zhong's eyes? A.Building a larger team. B.Passing down the skills. C.Restoring more round houses. D.Attracting young tourists. 高二英语第4页共10页 ▣▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣6 Plants can detect potential dangers by means of smell.However,their ability to recognize threats varies.New research indicates that young leaves of corn plants are far more sensitive to danger signals than mature ones. Lei Wang,a plant biologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland,explains that plants can sense approaching risks and activate their defense systems in advance.He and his colleagues published the new findings in Current Biology. Many plants strengthen their chemical defenses when facing insect attacks.One important way for plants to perceive threats is through scent ()They are capable of detecting scent molecules(分子)in the air,which may come from insects'saliva(口水)or nearby damaged plants. Nevertheless,scientists have not yet clarified which parts of plants are responsible for detecting dangers,as plants have no noses.They also know little about the internal mechanism by which plants process danger signals.Wang's team intended to explore this warning system in corn.However,they ran into an unexpected obstacle early on:when exposed to threat-related scents,fully grown corn leaves showed almost no detectable response. The researchers then focused on young leaves instead.Lab experiments showed that young comn leaves performed much better in sensing dangers.than older ones,with a stronger reaction to a typical danger-signaling scent,which smells like freshly cut grass.The reason is still unclear. Being in the early growth stage,young leaves need extra defense,so it may be a natural protection for these more susceptible young.leaves.Besides,young leaves,usually growing at the top of plants,might be more exposed to scents carried over long distances.These assumptions require further study. Wang hopes his research will contribute to the breeding of insect-resistant crops,which will gradually reduce the use of poisonous pesticides in agriculture."My parents are farmers,"Wang says."This research is not just to satisfy curiosity.I truly expect to solve some practical agricultural problems." 28.What is special about young corn leaves according to the new research? A.They give off warning scents. B.They react better to danger signals. C.They grow faster than mature leaves. D.They attract insects from long distances. 29.What problem did Wang's team meet at first? A.Corn plants failed to grow well. B.Insects'saliva damaged the young leaves C.Danger-related scents were hard to detect. D.Mature leaves reacted little to warning smells. 30.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word"susceptible"in paragraph 5? A.Slow to grow.B.Hard to reach. C.Easily harmed. D.Quickly recovered. 31.What does Wang expect from this research? A.It may reveal how plants process danger signals. B.It may explain comn's faster growth in fields. C.It may make pesticide use much more efficient D.It may develop insect-tolerant crops for green farming. 高二英语第5页共10页 ▣▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣ D Slop is.a new way to describe mass-produced,low-quality content.The term comes from artificial intelligence.Developer Simon Willison shared the concept:"Not all AI-generated content is slop.But if it's mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn't ask for it, slop is the perfect term."Today slop's critical tone is increasingly aimed at all things AI,treating it as a cultural pollutant.But by unthinkingly ignoring all of it,we risk missing out on the minority of creations. Mass-produced culture has a long,messy history.One notable slop moment came after Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press.in Europe.The device-the ChatGPT of the 1450s-allowed the mass production of cheap printed material.Some of this material was nonsense,but much of it entertained and educated the masses.In the early 1700s,a growing reading public created steady demand for text,giving rise to Grub Street-the slop generator of its time.People laughed at Grub Street even as its writers built the first modern freelance(自由职业)economy and mass--print culture.The20th-century cinema boom(繁荣) followed a similar pattern.Production demands produced a lot of rubbish,but this effort also developed the motion-picture industry's foundation. In all of these situations,the point wasn't to create masterpieces;it was to create rapidly and cheaply.But the production of new types of slop allows more people to participate.The current wave of Al-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero,while the cost for other people is high in terms of cognitive (burden.So we must identify and take advantage of what stands out so that we can better discourage what doesn't.The word "slop"helps us do that when it is used correctly. Calling everything worthless is a.misguided attempt to dam (the flood rather than channel it.If"culture is ordinary,"then the ordinary act of making on a large scale will always include waste.But it'll also produce the seeds of the next thing we'll decide to keep. 32.According to paragraph 1,which of the following is an example of"slop" A.A novel written by ChatGPT upon request. B.An AI-generated poem that pops up on your phone. C.A historical essay printed by a modern publisher. D.A low-budget film made by a famous filmmaker. 33.What do the examples in paragraph 2 illustrate? A.History is sometimes unreliable. B.Mass-produced culture received wide criticism. C.Mass-produced culture has long been a complex issue. D.Technological advances underwent a difficult process. 34.What has fueled today's slop boom? A.Lower production costs. B.Better digital access. C.Faster information flow. D.Public demand for Al. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Slop in AI:A Growing Problem B.The Slop Cycle:Trash or Treasure C.Slop in History:An Art Phenomenon D.Mass Production:Past and Future 高二英语第6页共10页 ▣▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣H女 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分125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。 The concept of a"zero-waste"lifestyle sounds overwhelming.Many people imagine it requires living in a jar or making all your own shampoo.However,the reality is much more accessible.It is not about perfection;it is about making conscious choices to reduce.your environmental footprint.36 First,start with a review.Spend a week observing your trash.What do you throw away most often?Is it plastic bottles,food wrappers,or paper towels?Identifying your biggest sources of waste helps you target your efforts effectively.37 For instance,if you notice many coffee cups,investing in a reusable mug is a high-impact first step. Next,embrace the"5Rs":Refuse,Reduce,Reuse,Recycle,and Rot.Note that"Recycle"is fourth,not first.The most effective waste management happens before you even bring an item home 38 Leamn to say no to single-use plastics,free promotional items you don't need,and excessive packaging. Another practical tip is to shop differently.Visit local farmers'markets where produce is often sold without plastic wrapping.Bring your own cloth bags and glass jars.39 Not only does this reduce waste,but it also supports local agriculture and often results in fresher food. Finally,be patient with yourself.Transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle is a marathon,not a short run.You will make errors,and you will occasionally forget your reusable bag 40 Every small action counts,and collectively,these actions create a significant positive change for our planet. A.That is why recycling alone is not enough. B.Here are some manageable steps to get you started. C.Once you identify the pattem,choose one area to focus on. D.This habit might take time to form,but it soon becomes second nature. E.Refusing unnecessary items is the most powerful tool in your toolkit, F.Many people fail because they try to change everything overnight. G.Don't let guilt stop you;just learn from mistakes and move forward. 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） 高二英语第7页，共10页 ▣减▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣6 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。 As a young boy,Yuri loved comic books and the legendary superheroes in-them.His heroes were Spiderman and Superman,and he suspected these characters still be 41 with kids today.When free from his job as a corrections officer ()he 42 as one of these beloved characters to deliver toys and cheer to children43 illnesses.

Every day after school,he would dash home eagerly and set up his old chessboard.For hours on end,he would study books borrowed from the library,his eyes scanning the pages attentively in an attempt to absorb new strategies.He practiced against himself religiously, moving the pieces back and forth,his mind deeply engaged in analyzing each move with care. When he took part in local chess matches,he was frequently underestimated.The tournament hall was filled with noisy people.The other players,armed with better resources and professional training,laughed at his simple techniques. In one particular tournament,as he sat at the table for his first game,he could feel the eyes on him.His opponent made quick and decisive opening moves.Jackson,though nervous,focused hard.But soon,he found himself in a difficult position as his opponent's pieces advanced aggressively.He lost the game and was very disappointed. In the next game,the situation was no better.His opponent's fingers moved swiftly over the pieces,while Jackson's hands were a bit sweaty as he tried to keep up,with his strategies easily countered(对抗).The taunts(嘲弄)of his opponents rang in his ears,buthe refused to be disheartened. During the break,he sat alone in the commer,replaying the games in his mind to identify his mistakes.Realizing the need to be more creative and bold in his move,he immersed himself deeper into analyzing of the games of the chess masters for inspiration.With every page he read and every move he analyzed,his determination grew like a burning fire. 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。 Paragraph 1: With a new-found determination,Jackson told himself that winners never quit.
