B My belief was formed eighteen years ago during my first Little League baseball season.My friend Patrick was on second base()when it was my tum to bat.After my hit,I started running towards first base.Patrick,however,had yet to start running.In fact,he hadn't even left 高二英语第3页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 可只 second base.Instead of running for third base,Patrick had picked up the base to see what was beneath.Apparently the mystery that had puzzled kids for centuries-what could possibly be hiding beneath second base-needed to be solved immediately. Of course,there were a few dads who commented about kids needing to keep their heads in the game and focus,but for the most part it was the funniest thing anyone had seen in a while.No one seemed to mind much;it was only a kids'game,and nothing bad came of it.I don't remember if we won the game,if I made it to second base,or if Patrick took it with him as he advanced to third. What I do remember,and what has become my personal philosophy,is that I should always take the time to find out what's beneath second base. After college graduation I did not get a high-paying job on Wall Street like many of my classmates did.I decided to devote a year to full-time community service with AmeriCorps at City Year in Washington,DC,during which I taught kids math and reading and saw firsthand the impact of painful and stressful experiences.A kid who was rude to me on the first day later expressed sadness that he didn't get to see me over the Thanksgiving break.It has truly been the most memorable experience of my life thus far. Looking beneath second base is not caring if others think what I'm doing is stupid or foolish.It is about living for the moment,being honest with myself,doing what makes me happy and not giving in to outside pressures. 24.What did Patrick do after the author's hit? A.He abandoned the game. B.He lifted the base for a look. C.He stood still on the spot. D.He removed the base to advance. 25.What did most people think of Patrick's behavior in paragraph 2? A.Unacceptable.B.Odd. C.Amusing. D.Inspiring. 26.Why does the author mention the kid's change of attitude in paragraph 3? A.To prove his teaching ability. B.To show the value of his community service. C.To promote community service. D.To demonstrate how demanding his work was. 27.What can we learn from the text? A.Think twice before you act. B.Stick to the rules. C.Put yourself in others'shoes. D.Stay true to yourself. C A study published in Judgement and Decision Making by Cambridge University Press reveals that readers rate AI-generated stories higher than human writing.Researchers Sydney Sears and Deena Weisberg from Villanova University invited 1,682 adults aged 18 to 81 to rate short stories. Participants were divided into two groups:half read human-authored stories,and the other half read content generated by ChatGPT-4.0.Those who read AI-generated short stories gave them an average quality score of 1.54 on a scale from-3 to 3,compared to just 0.97 for human-written stories. Two additional experiments with newly invited participants tested if readers were able to identify (AI-generated content.In the first test with 424 participants,only 39%correctly identified AI-generated stories.A second test with 481 participants showed 52%accuracy.The results were close to what one would get by simply guessing.It seems readers could not reliably tell AI-generated stories apart from human-written ones. Why does AI writing resonate()with readers?AI writing tends to be clearer,more direct, 高二英语第4页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 可只 and easier to process than human-authored fiction.In contrast,human writing employs more complex devices and subtlety(),requiring greater effort from readers.Rodney Jones from the University of Reading suggests,"People like easy-to-process things.Real kind of human writing is, frankly,not very popular,because it's hard work. The findings match a 2023 MIT study led by Renee Richardson Gosline,which found AI- generated content rated higher than work by human experts.Despite this,Weisberg maintains that human creativity has unique value:"Humans write as a form of creative self-expression or to challenge ourselves,or to make sense of our experiences.The fact that AI can generate human-like stories doesn't change any of that. Weisberg plans future experiments testing different writing types to determine whether AI maintains its advantage across genres ()As AI develops rapidly,improving people's understanding of Al may help readers deal with this fast-changing situation and make good judgments about what is real and what makes a good story 28.What is the first paragraph mainly about? A.The main finding of the study. B.The background of the experiment. C.The age range of participants. D.The reading tastes of participants. 29.What did the two additional experiments focus on? A.How reliable AI writing is. B.Why readers prefer AI writing. C.How readers rate AI writing. D.Whether readers can spot AI writing. 30.What is Weisberg's opinion about human writing? A.It is inaccessible. B.It has special value. C.It is unpopular. D.It has complex devices 31.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.AI-Written Fiction:Clear but Difficult to Appreciate B.AI-Written Fiction:A Challenge to Human Creativity C.Al-Written Fiction:Easy to Read,but Less Popular D.Al-Written Fiction:Favored by Readers,Hard to ldentify D Birds were the only group of dinosaurs to survive when an asteroid (struck Earth 66 million years ago,and scientists have wondered why for many years.Feathers()recently found in a dinosaur poop(粪便)fossil(化石)may offer clues..The fossilized poop was found in2016in Montana and is believed to have come from a large dinosaur that ate a bird before it died. A new study has found that the bird was a type of Hesperomithiform-birds that lived near water alongside the dinosaurs."Most couldn't fly,"explained Dr Jingmai O'Connor from the Field Museum in Chicago,who led the study.Instead,the birds had feet specially adapted for going underwater to help them hunt fish. This is where a 66-million-year-old mystery comes in.When an asteroid struck Earth,it destroyed the non-flying dinosaurs,and most bird groups too.Only one type of bird survived- Neornithes-and every living bird today develops from them.One theory about why the survivors made it is that they lived near water,which could have protected them from the worst of the destruction.That theory was called into question by the feathers,however,because Hesperornithiformes were close cousins of the Neornithes,and they spent most of their time in the 高二英语第5页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 可只 water.So why did they die out? Upon close examination,the team saw that some of the feathers looked like they couldn't have xept the birds war when the planet became freezing cold after the asteroid strike.But Neomnithes eathers may have kept them warm enough to survive. Feathers,rather than closeness to water,may have decided who lived and who didn't. O'Connor said it was "a lucky break"that the fossil had been divided open when it was found, because it revealed the feather.She now hopes other scientists will start studying fossilized poop to see what's hiding inside. 32.What can we know about Hesperornithiformes? A.They fed mainly on birds. B.They could not fly by nature. C.They were fit for a life in water. D.They were the only survivors of dinosaurs. 33.What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A.To explain why Neornithes survived. B.To show how the destruction happened. C.To question the earlier water-related theory. D.To prove living near water helped birds survive. 34.How did Neornithes probably survive? A.Their feathers kept out the cold. B.They slayed close to water. C.They had feet for swimming. D.They flew to warm places. 35.What do the underlined words "a lucky break"in paragraph 5 refer to? A.The dinosaur's last meal. B.The already broken fossil. C.The bird's narrow escape. D.The feather hidden inside it. 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。 Talking plants have long been a thing of tales and legends.Many cultures have stories of talking trees that give advice as well as warnings to people.With us long believing that talking plants are fantasy,new research has revealed something amazing.36 It has been known that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other.37 The plant releases tiny amounts of chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten,acting as a warning,or a call for help.When another plant detects the chemicals from its injured neighbour,it starts to release its own chemicals,driving insects away or attracting their natural enemies that can kill them. 38 People can't hear the sounds that plants are making.Some plants like com and chilli (plants make noises with their roots,and they also "listen"to the noises from other plants. For instance,a chilli plant can tell whether a neighbouring plant is helpful,or unfriendly.Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water,implying that drought is arriving. Most surprisingly,plants have a complex system of communication,linking nearly every plant in a forest,which scientists call "wood wide web".39 The former is linked underground by fungi()while the latter is linked by cables().Fungal network links the roots of different plants to each other.40 Some trees can send nutrients to smaller ones to help them grow. 高二英语第6页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 百宾 A.Plants use sound to communicate as well. B.It appears that plants can communicate after all. C.It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. D.Plants can share information and even food with each other. E.Plants also use sound to tell the friendliness of their neighbours. F.Nearly every plant in a forest is connected to one another in the web. G.This happens when a plant,say a bean plant,gets attacked by insects. 第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分35分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B,C和D)中，选出可以填人空白处的 最佳选项。 My brother and I grew up surfing at Porthcawl in south Wales.My earliest memories are of playing in the 41 and I leamed to balance on a surfboard not long after I leamed to walk.When I lost the use of my 42,I felt as if I had lost the sea-and a part of who I was.
