Visit with realistic expectations This introduction offers ideas rather than a fixed schedule.Conditions and services can change,so check current park information when planning.Choose an activity that fits your abilities,respect wildlife, and leave room in your programme to observe rather than hurry from one sight to another. 21.What helps canoe travellers spot hidden details? A.Slow movement on the water. B.Advanced wildlife cameras. C.Clear road signs along routes. D.Pre-arranged animal shows. 22.What is the park's major aim? e A.To improve wetland conditions.

B Nikola Tesla was undoubtedly a great scientist.As one of the five children in his family,Tesla was intelligent and curious about the hidden forces of nature:electricity and magnetism () His father,a priest ()hoped his son would follow in his footsteps,but Tesla was more interested in the hard evidence of what existed and was yet to be applied.His mother was kind,curious and loving.She encouraged him to look beyond his ordinary beginnings to the world stage. The small cottage Tesla grew up in was lit just by simple candles.By the weak light,Tesla watched his mother tinker ()listened to his father read and let his imagination run off into the woodlands. Tesla's mother led the effort to raise money for her son's education.It was she who inspired his curiosity and protected his unique personality.She taught him to pursue that inner desire for knowledge,perhaps one she herself had no way to pursue. Tesla became one of the pioneers of modern electrical engineering.His work on alternating current, the induction motor and wireless technology influenced Westinghouse Electric.He theorized about wireless communications and even demonstrated a radio-controlled boat.His designs for a brushless electric motor are still in use today. "I must admit that any inventiveness I have comes from my mother's influence,"Tesla reflected. "My mother was an intelligent woman,an inventor of small devices that made difficult house chores easier.She was especially gifted with a sense of intuition (and I believe she would have achieved great things,had she not been so remote from modern life. At the end of his life,it was not his scientific breakthroughs or the fortune he earned but his mother that Tesla remembered most fondly.In his mother's final weeks,he sat with her for days without sleeping, not wanting to leave her side.He had given up a lecture circuit in Paris to be with her-his first inspiration and guiding light. 24.What did Tesla's father expect him to do at first? A.To work in the church. B.To run the family home. C.To become an engineer. D.To study science and physics. 25.What role did Tesla's mother play in his youth? A.She offered him several job choices. B.She helped him design early inventions 11 C.She taught him basic electrical knowledge. D.She supported and developed his curiosity. 26.What can we infer about Tesla's creations? A.They were all sold to firms. B.Some still serve people today. C.Most of them were only ideas. 27.What does the last paragraph suggest about Tesla? D.They brought him fame instantly. A.He regretted quitting his tour. y C.He had few friends later in life. B.He cared little about his health D.He valued family more than career. (005)高二英语期中试题第4页（共10页） C A person talking about typing may move their fingers as if an invisible keyboard were in front of them.Seeing meaningful hand movements一also called iconic(标志性的)gestures-helps listeners to process spoken language."We already know that questions produced with iconic gestures get faster responses in conversation,"says first author Marlijn ter Bekke. Hand movements might speed up language processing because they help to predict what is coming up."Gestures typically start before their related speech (such'as the word'typing'),so they already show some information about what the speaker might say next,"explains Ter Bekke. To investigate whether listeners use hand gestures to predict upcoming speech,the researchers decided to run two experiments using visual characters."We used virtual characters because we can accurately control what they say and how they move,which is good for drawing conclusions from experiments.At the same time,they look natural." In the first experiment,the character asked participants a question and paused before a target word. The character either made a meaningful gesture (such as a typing movement),a meaningless movement (such as scratching (an arm),or no movement at all.Then participants were asked to guess how the sentence would continue.As expected,participants predicted the target word (for instance,"type") more often when they had seen the matching gesture. In the second experiment,a different set of participants simply listened to the questions played in full.Their brain activity was recorded with electroencephalography (EEG).During the silent pause before the target word,gestures affected brain waves that are typically connected with expectation.After the target word,gestures affected brain responses that indicate how difficult it is to comprehend a word.After seeing gestures,people found it easier to process the meaning of the upcoming word. "These results show that even when participants are just listening,they use gestures to predict what someone might say next,"concludes Ter Bekke."Our study shows that even gestures produced by a virtual character promote language processing.If we want artificial assistants to be readily understood,and in a human-like way,they should not only communicate through speech. 28.Why did researchers use virtual characters? A.To ensure strict control. B.To avoid any human mistakes. C.To copy real talks easily. D.To make participants relaxed. 29.What was the result of the first experiment? A.Only meaningful moves were noticed. B.Virtual characters confused the participants. C.Proper gestures shaped what people expected. D.Pauses slowed down the participants'responses. 30.Which can best replace the underlined word "comprehend"in paragraph 5? A.Remember. B.Understand. C.Create. 340 D.Pronounce. (005)高二英语期中试题第5页（共10页） 31.What does Ter Bekke think of the future of AI assistants? A.They should process words more slowly. B.They should speak in a more natural way. C.They should copy virtual characters'looks. D.They should combine speech with gestures. D In the modern era,technology has improved the way we monitor and protect endangered species. However,a recent study from the University of Cambridge highlights both the benefits and limitations of these technological advancements in wildlife protection. Traditional endangered-species tracking methods were often limited by the size of the areas that needed to be monitored and the difficulty in accessing remote habitats.Today,drones ()satellite imagery,remote sensing,and GPS collars (have become the experts'essential tools,providing real-time data on animal movements,population sizes,and habitat use. "Technology has undoubtedly strengthened our ability to monitor endangered species,"said 踢 Dr.Emily Carter,lead author of the study."But it's not without its challenges."The study,published in the journal Conservation Biology,compared data collected from traditional methods with that obtained 游 through modern technology.Researchers found that while technological tools help,they also introduced 焙 new bias ()For instance,GPS collars are more likely to be employed on larger,more accessible animals,leaving smaller or more hidden species insufficiently represented in the data. & Moreover,the study revealed that technological data often focus more on certain regions."We found 游 世 that areas with better basic systems and funding,such as North America and Europe,are overrepresented 鸣 in the data,"Dr.Carter explained."This creates a gap in our understanding of species in less-developed regions,which are often the most critical for protection efforts." Despite these limitations,the study stresses the importance of combining traditional and technological methods to create a more balanced and thorough (data set."By combining the strengths of both approaches,we can reduce the bias and fill in the gaps,"said Dr.Carter.The researchers also stress how valuable public efforts can be,Dr.Carter noted."Encouraging more people to contribute observations, especially in underrepresented regions,can help balance the data and improve our protection strategies." While technology has significantly advanced our ability to track and protect endangered species,it is not perfect.With a broader perspective and better methods,we can build a clearer and more complete picture of the world's endangered species. 32.What main advantage does modern protection technology offer? A.Lower costs for field work. B.Broader coverage and richer data. C.Automatic habitat repair work. D.Better training for local experts. 33.What common problem do GPS collars show? A.Smaller species are underrepresented in the data. 擗 B.Researchers prefer studying large animals (005)高二英语期中试题第6页（共10页） oo C.Developed countries set the direction of protection work. D.Current research lacks communication and cooperation. 】 ● 34.How can people get balanced data according to Dr.Carter? ● A.With higher funds for poor regions. ● B.By giving up outdated tracking ways. ● C.Through mixed means plus public efforts. ● ●●) ● D.Under stricter laws on wild animal protection ●)● 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Money Decides Wildlife Protection B.Innovations Save Endangered Animals 0 C.Public Awareness For Wildlife Research D.Tech Alone Cannot Protect Wildlife 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 学 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 校 选项。 杯 A school vegetable garden can teach students much more than the names of plants.It can show why farming decisions depend on the conditions of a particular place.A photograph of a successful garden may 班 be inspiring.Yet it cannot tell you what will grow well in your space.36 级 Begin with sunlight.A corer that is bright at noon may receive little light for the rest of the day. Visit the site at different times of day and on different days,and mark where shadows (fall. 37 The record can guide the choice of crops instead of leaving that choice to guesswork. Next,think about water.Containers dry out differently from garden beds,and young plants need 姓 名 regular attention.Ask who will check the garden on weekends.38 If everyone assumes someone else is responsible,a small problem may become serious before Monday. 39 Students can then record both planting dates and weekly changes.For example,start with a few crops and label the rows clearly.Comparing the two records can help students notice how growth 解 考 号 阳 changes over time,rather than relying on a memory of how tall a plant looked last week. Finally,discuss results as evidence.A small harvest does not necessarily mean the project has failed.Poor growth may lead to useful questions about shade,water or timing. 40 That habit of ●)●●●● ● observing,testing and adjusting is valuable even when the first basket of vegetables is not very full. ● ● A.Keep the first planting manageable. ● B.Write down what you notice each time you visit. ● C.These duties should be agreed on before anyone plants. 1 D.Make a detailed plan for all the plants you have bought. ● E.Instead,use what happened to plan the next growing season. F.Buying the greatest number of seeds ensures the best lesson. G.Therefore,before buying seeds,students need to observe their own space.

As I grew older,my passion for public speaking only deepened.I read books and attended workshops to learn everything I could about the subject.I practiced speaking in front of mirrors and even recorded myself to analyse my speech and improve my technique. However,despite all of my hard work,I found myself struggling to connect with my audience.My words were well chosen and well rehearsed(反复排练过的)，but I felt that something was missing..It wasn't until I came across a TED talk on body language that everything clicked into place. In the talk,the speaker discussed how our body language can convey just as much information as our words,sometimes even more so.A confident pose and a relaxed facial expression can signal confidence and 政 certainty,while moving your body constantly or avoiding eye contact can reveal nervousness or discomfort. This realization led me to study body language and its impact on communication.Armed with this new knowledge;I began practicing my own body language skills and studying the techniques of other 游 great speakers.I watched videos of famous speeches and analysed how the speakers used their bodies to 烯 emphasize key points and connect with their audience.I practiced making eye contact and using hand gestures to emphasize important ideas. One day,I was invited to speak at a conference in front of a large audience.I had prepared my 母 speech thoroughly and felt confident in my content,but I was nervous about how I would behave on 咯 stage. 0 注意： 0(1)续写词数应为150个左右； 牌 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I walked up to the stage,I rehearsed the body language I had learned in my head.
