Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world． We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside． The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk．When joggers jog, they don't run the streets． Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river．But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived （剥夺））.1 spent my boyhood climbing trees． These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found．The truth is to be found elsewhere． A study in the US: families had moved to better bousing and the children were assessed（评估）for ADHD﹣attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （多动症）．Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%．ADHD is one of the great problems of modem childhood． One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children． However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places．The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature． The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years． And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality． Even problems with crime and aggressive behavior are reduced when there is contact with the natural world．We need the wild world． It is essential to our well﹣being, our health and our happiness．（1）According to the author， people enjoy________to seek nature．A.jogging on the streetB. shopping in the supermarketC.sitting in the gardenD. running in the gym．（2）From the second paragraph， we can see that________．A.children probably spend less time in nature nowadaysB.adults deprive the children of their rights to approach natureC.climbing trees will certainly do good to the childrenD.children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction．（3）In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature？________A.Children with ADHD can be cured．B.Children's performance at school is greatly improved．C.A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life．D.Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved．．（4）What is the main idea of this passage？________A.Nature treats children with ADHD.Access to nature improves our life．B.Getting close to nature reduces crime．C.Man can't live without natural areas．A.Delayed answers are lies.B.It is unfair to require all to answer slowly.C.Delayed answers can lead to misjudgment.D.Delayed response should be ignored completely.5.Genetic（基因的）testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupil's educational achievement. That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for education predict a person's educational achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. "Some people with a very low genetic score are very high performers at age 16. Some are even in the top 3 percent," says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol, UK.And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve, he doesn't think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect. It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful predictions, such as a person's likelihood of developing various diseases. One company is even offering embryo screening（screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development）based on polygenic scores for disease risk.Some researchers—notably Robert Plomin of King's College London—think that schools should start using polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualities such as persistence as well as intelligence.To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants' genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a person's polygenic score and their exam results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.Plomin, however, argues that the results support his opinion. "A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences," says Plomin. "It's so much stronger than a lot of other things we base decisions on. So it's a very big finding."Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate, such as a pupil's earlier test results. Looking at parents' educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupil's academic results than studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.（1）In paragraph 2, Morris talks about "height" in order to tell readers that ________.A.some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variantsB.some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variantsC.genetic scores are useful in predicting one's potential diseasesD.genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school（2）How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education?A.By providing opposite examples.B.By explaining how the genome works.C.By listing findings from another scientist.D.By presenting facts and data from research.（3）According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is ________.eful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children areeful in predicting people who might struggle academicallyC.stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciencesD.strongly correlated to children's academic achievements（4）Morris suggested that schools should ________.A.study every pupil's genomesB.spend some money on genetic testsC.know about parents' educational achievementsD.provide teachers with students' genetic information三、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）6. （5分）假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Tony想在平时参加一些志愿者活动，但担心因此而影响学习。

The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions（解决）. Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller's Ode to Joy（欢乐颂）. Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.（1）What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A.It brings people inner peace.B.It contributes to problem-solving.C.It reduces the possibility of crises.D.It deepens understanding of music.（2）What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A.It celebrates freedom and unity.B.It aims to show crises and chaos.C.It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D.It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.（3）What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A.Leaving things as they are.B.Making a choice between them.C.Separating them from each other.D.Engaging them in a conversation.（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How COVID-19 changes artB.Essentials of Symphony No. 9C.Moving artfully through crisesD.Joy in the eyes of BeethovenC.expressD.give opinions publicly（2）How do clams work while protecting city's drinking water?A.They refuse to drink the water when it is contaminated.B.They close their shells when faced with pollutants.C.They remind the computer operator to cut off the water supply.D.They deal with the polluted water immediately.（3）What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A.To advise people to protect clams.B.To introduce a film about clams.C.To show people how to protect themselves.D.To warn people clams are harmful to mental health.（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of clean drinking water.B.The basic ways to fight pollution.C.What we can do to protect clams.D.How clams fight pollution.（1）What is the real purpose of Girls Takeover?A.Asking boys to treat girls equally.B.Guaranteeing girls well-paid jobs.C.Focusing on the rights of girls.D.Promoting girls to be vital leaders.（2）What did Aava stress in her Wednesday's speech?A.Actions for climate change.B.Protection of human rights.C.The inequality in technology.D.The bad results of being poor.（3）Which of the following best describes Aava?A.Generous.B.Ambitious.C.Flexible.D.Creative.（4）What does the underlined word "harassed" in the last paragraph mean?A.Annoyed continually.B.Self-discouraged.C.Confused sometimes.D.Absent-minded.三、书面表达（本题共计 2 小题，每题 5 分，共计10分）6. 假定你是李华，上周参观了一个机器人展览。

安徽省合肥市第一中学2024-2025学年高二上学期期中考试英语试卷

安徽省合肥市第一中学2024-2025学年高二上学期期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解Impressive exhibitions in the US worth traveling for in 2024 Here are several museum exhibitions across the USA that are worth traveling for in 2024.1. Yayoi Kusama: Infinite LoveSFMOMA, San FranciscoOn view: now through September 7For six decades now, Japanese polymath Yayoi Kusama has been exploring the concept of the “infinity room.” These meditations on perception, the universe and existence itself combine bold colors, three-dimensional forms and mirror-generated visual illusions to transport viewers to an inclusive aesthetic world. In the exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Infinite Love, they have landed in Northern California for the first time. Featured works including the brand-new Dreaming of Earth’s Sphericity, I Would Offer My Love (2023) and the famous LOVE IS CALLING (2013) will be on display at SFMOMA through next fall. Be sure to reserve advance tickets the minute they go on sale.2. Matisse and the SeaSt Louis Art Museum, St LouisOn view: February 17-May 12,2024Henri Matisse lived for decades near the Mediterranean, and a number of blues carry through his entire oeuvre (全部作品), largely inspired by the reflection of light of the water. With the artist’s Bathers with Turtle (1907–8) as a museum highlight, the exhibition travels across both Matisse’s works and the world itself, with works by this 20th-century master in various media, depicting the sea as a subject and as a theme.3. Georgia O’ Keeffe: “My New Yorks”Art Institute of Chicago, ChicagoOn view: June 2-September 24,2024This show at the Art Institute of Chicago will explore how Georgia O’ Keeffe - an artist soclosely associated with the Southwest and nature - spent her formative years in the USA’s biggest city. Before she turned her eye to flowers and desert sunsets, Georgia O’ Keeffe captured the distinctive perspectives of New York City, looking up at skyscrapers from street level and down from her 30th-floor apartment.4. Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than the Real ThingWhitney Museum of American Art, New Y ork CityOn view: starting March 20,2024Some leave angry. Others emerge inspired. Yet however you react, it’s hard to forget any Whitney Biennial. Multimedia pieces and political themes are never hard to detect. Organized by Chrissi e Iles and Meg Onli, the lineup at this year’s -Biennial has yet to be announced. But whoever the participants are, their work is sure to make a statement.1．What can we learn from the artist Yayoi Kusama and his works?A．His work Infinite Love has been on display for decades.B．His works feature incorporating varied colors boldly into the works.C．Dreaming of Earth’s Sphericity was inspired by the light of water.D．Four-dimensional forms will transport viewers to the universe.2．Who is most likely to be the target audience for the last exhibition?A．people concerned with current political affairs.B．people having a passion for economy.C．people fond of pursuing old fashion.D．people enthusiastic about different reactions. 3．What do the exhibition 2 and 3 have in common?A．Both artists prefer using city landscape in the works.B．Both exhibitions need to be reserved in advance.C．Both artists’ works focus on themes concerning surroundings.D．Both artists’ works embody political themes.My husband and I fell in love when we would sit and talk in the living room of my old apartment in front of the windows drinking cups of black coffee, sometimes until sunrise. I was so extremely fortunate to have finally found that one special person.However, it was soon after our honeymoon that my husband climbed into the tomb called “the office” and buried himself in piles of paperwork and clients, and I just kept silent for fear ofturning into a complaining wife. It seemed as if overnight an invisible wall had been put up between us. He just lay beside snoring like a hibernating bear unaware of my winter.When our daughter was born, my life was centred on her and I no longer seemed to care that my husband was getting busier and spending less time at home. Somewhere between his work timetable and our home and young daughter, we were losing contact with each other. That invisible wall was now being hardened by the mortar (砂浆) of indifference.Then tragedy struck our lives, when my husband’s younger brother was killed in 2001, together with thousands of other innocent people. He was identified only by the engraving (雕刻) on the inside of his wedding ring. Attending our brother’s memorial service was an eye-opening experience for both of us. For the first time, we saw our own marriage was almost like my in-laws. At the tragic death of the youngest son they could not reach out to comfort one another. It seemed as if somewhere between the oldest son’s first tooth and the youngest son’s graduation they had lost each other.Later one night, my husband told of his fear of dying and I spoke of trying to find myself in the writings of my journal. It seemed as if each of us had been hiding our soul-searching from the other.We are slowly working toward building a bridge - not a wall, so that when we reach out to each other, we do not find a barrier we cannot pass through or retreat from the stranger on the other side.4．what can we learn about the author’s husband From the second paragraph?A．He was fully involved in his work.B．He didn’t show any affection for her.C．He preferred his work to his family D．He got tired of his nagging wife5．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean?A．The author’s husband’s brothers.B．The author’s husband’s brothers-in-law.C．The author’s husband’s parents.D．The author’s husband’s sisters-in-law. 6．Which of the following best describe the author?A．Dependent and critical.B．Sensitive and sensible.C．Sympathetic and emotional.D．Ambitious and understanding.7．What can we infer from the passage about the couple?A．Attending the memorial service worsened their relationship.B．Their brother’s death set off their reflection on marriage.C．Communication was a most effective means to break the barrier.D．The fear of dying prevented the husband from reaching out.Nobel science prizes are awarded in three areas: physics, chemistry and physiology or medicine. But occasionally some noteworthy discovery comes along that does not really fit into any of them. Similar flexibility, though in an area with far more profound consequences than ethology (行为学), has been demonstrated with regard to this year’s physics prize.Showing a sense of timeliness not always apparent in its deliberations, Sweden’s Royal Academy of Science has stretched the definition of physics to include computer science, and given its recognition to two of the pioneers of the artificial-intelligence (AI) revolution.John Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto both did their crucial work in the early 1980s, at a time when computer hardware was unable to take full advantage of it. Dr Hopfield was responsible for what has become known as the Hopfield network - a type of artificial neural network that behaves like a physical structure called a spin glass, which gave the academy a fa int reason to call the field "physics". Dr Hinton’s contribution was to use an algorithm (算法) known to train neural networks.Artificial neural networks are computer programs based loosely on the way in which real; biological networks of nerve cells are believed to work. In particular, the strengths of the connections between "nodes" (结点) in such networks are plastic. Hopfield networks, in which each node is connected to every other except itself, are particularly good at learning to extract patterns from sparse (稀疏的) or noisy data.Dr Hinton’s algorithm enhances neural networks’ learning ability by letting them work, in effect, in three dimensions. Hopfield networks and their types are, in essence, two-dimensional. Though they actually exist only as simulations in software, they can be thought of as a structure of physical layers of nodes. Dr Hinton adjusted Dr Hopfield’s networks using a branch of maths called statistical mechanics to create what are known as Boltzmann machines. Boltzmann machines can be used to create systems that learn in an unsupervised manner, spotting patterns in data without having to be explicitly taught.It is, then, the activities of these two researchers which have made machine learning reallysing. AI models can now not only learn, but create. Such tools have thus gone from being able to perform highly specific tasks, such as recognizing cancerous cells in pictures of tissue samples or streamlining particle-physics data, to anything from writing essays for lazy undergraduates to running robots.8．Why does the writer mention the three areas of Nobel science prizes?A．To inform readers of the specific information.B．To introduce the flexibility of this years’ Nobel physics prize.C．To share with readers the importance of the Nobel prizes.D．To highlight the critical role physics plays in the world.9．What can be the evidence that the two researcher’s activities can be called “physics”?A．The Hopfield Networks are two-dimensional.B．The nodes in the Hopfield Network connect each other.C．The Hopfield Network functions in a similar way to a spin glass.D．The Hopfield Network can extract patterns using a little data.10．How did Dr Hinton strengthen neural networks’ learning ability?A．He used special physical principles.B．He changed the function of the networks.C．He thought of a structure suitable for the networks.D．He made use of maths to transform their ways of working11．What can be the main idea of the passage?A．AI neural networks can be widely used.B．Two researchers will be awarded the Nobel Physics Prize.C．AI researchers have received the Nobel Prize for Physics.D．Physiology and medicine researchers are common in the Nobel Prize winners.The term parasocial interaction (虚拟社交) was introduced in the 1950s by the social scientists Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl. It was the early days of home television, and they were seeing people form a close connection with actors who were appearing virtually in their home. Today, the definition is much broader. After all, actors, singers, comedians, athletes, and countless other celebrities are available to us in more ways than ever before. Forming parasocialbonds has never been easier.Psychologists document cases of parasocial relationships that can go much deeper, with severe consequences. Scholars note parasocial bonds range from casual talk about stars to intense emotions, to uncontrollable behavior and fantasies. At the deepest level, the parasocial relationship can be dangerous, such as when a fan loses touch with reality and secretly follows a star. It can also lead to confusion about one’s own identity, particularly in adolescents who are still forming their sense of self, as they may model themselves on the media figures with whom they have parasocial relationships.In 2021, two psychologists from York University, in Canada, found that forming parasocial bonds was strongly related to avoidant attachment. That is, people who tended to push others away in their day-to-day lives were more likely to relate to fictional characters. You can easily see how parasocial relationships could be a replacement when one finds real-life attachment difficult. This could start a feedback cycle, in which avoiding close relationships stimulates parasocial bonding, which in turn leads to reduced interactions with real-life family and friends as the fans spends their time and energy on someone who doesn’t know they exist.My purpose here is not to say that parasocial interactions are always bad for you, or even abnormal. Rather, it is to suggest that heavy parasocial bonding might be a signal that you are crowding out the real people who can give you the love you truly need. One way to address this is to get some more distance from your fictional friends, thus pausing the feedback cycle and giving yourself more space to pursue in-person connection.12．How has parasocial interaction changed according to Paragraph 1?A．It has become more accessible.B．It has affected more celebrities.C．It has lost much of its significance.D．It has turned into a two-way process. 13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Reasons behind celebrity following.B．Origins of dangerous relationships.C．Different types of parasocial relationships.D．Potential harm of parasocialrelationships.14．Which of the following can lead to parasocial relationships?A．Socializing with strangers.B．Having strong family support.C．Participating in group activities.D．Struggling with relationships in reality.15．What might the author suggest for those with heavy parasocial relationships?A．Meeting fictional friends in real life.B．Seeking guidance from professionals.C．Hanging out more with real friends.D．Creating more space for being alone.We are overwhelmed by an unprecedented volume of information. 16 if we don’t actively engage with it.In order to stay focused and retain more information, it’s important to be highly engaged with the content. 17 It mostly relies on critical thinking. Active reading transforms passive absorption into an interactive, analytical process. There are many active reading strategies, but here are some of the most immediately useful.Understand the author’s purpose. 18 Take a few minutes to read the introduction or any other material available to become aware of the reason and intent of writing.Adjust your reading rate. Instead of using a constant rate, adapt yourself to the content you’re reading. 19 , and speeding up when it’s information you are already familiar with.Annotate the content. Taking notes is a great way to stay engaged with the content. Use the margins to write ideas that pop into your mind when reading something.Paraphrase. Whenever a new concept seems a bit more complex to grasp, stop reading and try to paraphrase it using your own words. This will force you to assess your level of understanding.Organize the information visually. Map the content into a graphic to better visualize it and make it your own. You can craft a simple mind map, or be creative with collages and other forms of visual thinking.Evaluate the content. Every so often, take a step back and think critically about what you’re reading. 20Consult a reference. Whenever you’ re in doubt, use a dictionary or another external reference to make sure you understand a new concept or an unfamiliar word’s meaning and have all the necessary background information.Summarize the ideas. Once you’ re done reading a book, sit down and write your own summary. Get bonus points if you publish it online to learn in public and get feedback and additional perspectives from other readers.Active reading will help you make the most of the time you spend reading books and blog posts by ensuring you retain more of the relevant content and can apply it in your day-to-day life and work.A．This means slowing down to comprehend better new or more complex information. B．Yet, research suggests that we forget up to 70% of new information within 24 hours.C．It matters for you to assess what you read.D．Active reading basically means reading something with the determination to understand, evaluate, and remember relevant aspects of what you read.E．Is it well structured, are there gaps in the argument, does the author sound biased?F．Is the goal of the author to inform, entertain, or advertise their product or services?G．Our life is packed with varied information.二、完形填空Michael Surrell and his wife had just parked the car when they got a call from their daughter, “The house next door is on fire!” He immediately went to 21 and saw an old woman cried. “The baby is inside!” “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman’s 22 .Though the fire department had been called, Surrell 23 rushed into the burning house.

2024-2025学年四川省成都市第七中学高二上学期期中考试英语试卷

2024-2025学年四川省成都市第七中学高二上学期期中考试英语试卷Are you dreaming of overcoming Mount Kilimanjaro, but not sure which route to take? Here’s an overview of four Kilimanjaro routes for you.Marangu RouteThe Marangu Route, also known as the “Coca-Cola Route”, is distinguished by its cottage accommodations and is a popular choice for climbers aiming to reach the top of Kilimanjaro.Providing a more comfortable option compared to camping, these simple cottages offer basic facilities and can be a welcoming sight after a day of challenging hiking.Machame RouteThe Machame Route, often referred to as the “Whiskey Route”, is famous for its splendid landscapes and challenging summit (顶峰) night that tests climbers’determination and tolerance.The night before the summit push, is a laborious test, characterized by sharp, rocky terrain (地形) and freezing temperatures, where climbers rely on their mental strength and physical preparedness to overcome the final barriers to Uhuru Peak.Lemosho RouteThe Lemosho Route offers breathtaking scenic views and owns one of the highest summit success rates among the Kilimanjaro routes, making it a favorite among climbers.What sets the Lemosho Route apart is its gradual ascent (上升) profile, allowing climbers to accustom effectively and increase their chances of reaching the summit successfully.Rongai RouteThe Rongai Rout e provides a quiet hiking experience, allowing climbers to adapt gradually while impressing themse lves with the untouched wilderness of Kilimanjaro’s northern side.Adaptation becomes more manageable due to the route’s gentle ascent, allowing climbers to adjust to the increasing height comfortably. The unique advantage of this path is its relatively lower traffic, providing a peaceful experience in harmony with nature’s patterns.1. What makes Marangu Route special?A．The accommodations. B．The free Coca-Cola.C．The camping sight. D．The challenging hiking.2. What is most required when you choose Machame Route?A．Climbing equipment. B．Help of Whiskey.C．Teamwork of climbers. D．Strong willpower.3. What do the last two routes have in common?A．They have lower traffic. B．They offer vast wilderness.C．They are easier to adapt to. D．They are planned for the old.I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university, nervous about the experiment we were to perform. I grabbed a pipette and, as I feared, my hand started to shake. The experience was disheartening. I was hoping to pursue a career in science, but I started to wonder whether that would be possible. I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground.I was a boy born with brain damage. My family managed to find good doctors where we lived, in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia, and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments. Shortly after my first birthday, I started walking and it became clear that my intelligence function was unaffected. So, in some sense, I was lucky. Still, I couldn’t do some things growing up. Both hands shook, especially when I was nervous or embarrassed. My left hand was much worse than my right, so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand, but it wasn’t easy to do anything precisely.As a teenager, I faced a lot of bullyi ng at school. Feeling alone, I joined a study group called “The natural world”. I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people. That’s how I came into the field of biology. At university, I enjoyed the lectures in my scienc e classes. Many lab tasks proved impossible, however. As I struggled with my mood, I read a book about depression. From then on, the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion. I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments on rats to study depression.At the end of my second year, I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her. I was afraid to admit I couldn’t do some lab tasks. To my relief, she was c ompletely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph. D.I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t th e barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the d ata in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science.4. What was the author’s dream?A．To live a normal life. B．To become a scientist.C．To get a master’s degree.D．To recover from depression.5. Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 2?A．Because he didn’t lose the function of both hands.B．Because he learned how to walk at the age of one.C．Because his family could afford to see good doctors.D．Becau se his brain damage didn’t affect his intelligence.6. What can you learn from the passage?A．The team in the lab urged him to further his study.B．The author finally finished the lab tasks on his own.C．The author’s experience inspired him to help others.D．The author’s loneliness led him to the world of biology.7. What message does the author want to express?A．Loving yourself makes a difference.B．Opportunity follows prepared people.C．A bright future begins with a small dream.D．The sun somehow shines through the storm.Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only co nclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering.Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the da ncer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works.A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change.While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining.The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping andexploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now.8. Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2?A．To stress the similarities between AI art and human art.B．To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art.C．To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art.D．To imply AI art cannot be underestimated.9. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Clearly analyzed. B．Bravely suffered.C．Strongly criticized. D．Accurately perceived.10. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat.B．Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem.C．Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art.D．The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property.11. Which would be the best title for the passage?A．The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect ArtB．AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be FoughtC．Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on ArtD．The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human ArtistsThat dinosaurs ate the mammals that ran beneath their feet is not in doubt. Now an extraordinary fossil newly described in Scientific Reports, unearthed by a team led by Gang Han at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology in China, shows that sometimes the tables were turned.The fossil - dated to about 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period-was formed when a flow of boiling volcanic mud swallowed two animals seemingly locked in a life-and-death fight. The one on top is a mammal. The other animal is a herbivorous species closely related to the Triceratops (三角恐龙). Animal interactions such as this are exceptionally rare in the fossil record.One possibility is that the mammal was eating something already dead, rather than hunting live prey. These days it is uncommon for small mammals to attack much larger animals. But it is not unheard of. And Dr. Han and his colleagues point out that those mammals which eat dead bodies typically leave tooth marks all over the bones of the animals. The dinosaur’s rem ains show no such marks.There is also a chance the fossil could be a fake. More and more convincing fakes have emerged, as this one did — though Dr. Han and his colleagues argue that the complex and tangled nature of the skeletons (骨骼) makes that unlikely, too.Assuming it is genuine, the discovery serves as a reminder that not all dinosaurs were enormous during the Cretaceous and not all mammals were tiny. From nose to tail, the dinosaur is just 1.2 meters long. The mammal is a bit under half a meter in length. Despite being half the size, the mammal has one pa w firmly wrapped around one of its prey’s limbs, and another pulling on its jaw. It is biting down on the dinosaur’s chest, and has ripped off two of its ribs. Before they were interrupted, it seems that the mammal was winning.12. What does the author imply in Paragraph 1?A．The fittest survives. B．The hunters become hunted.C．All dinosaurs ate mammals. D．The truth always comes to light.13. Why does the author mention the “tooth mark” in Paragraph 3?A．To prove the fossil was fake.B．To show the forming of the fossil.C．To illustrate the process of hunting.D．To suggest the dinosaur was hunted alive.14. What makes Dr. Han think the fossil is genuine?A．The size of the fossil.B．The absence of fake fossils.C．The agreement of the opinions.D．The complexity of the skeletons.15. What is the function of the last paragraph?A．It offers a likely cause.B．It highlights a solution.C．It justifies the discovery.D．It provides a new discovery.If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 16The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 17 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 18 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.19 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.20 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.I had always been warmly praised for my basketball shooting ability when I was in high school. But when I went to Ohio State, I discovered that everyone on the team was _________ in his hometown.To win a starting job on the team, I had figured I would have to _________ the coach with my shooting ability. But it turned out that the team was _________ full of attacking players and what it needed was someone to _________ on defense. Unwillingly, I decided to take that role, but didn’t expect the _________ was to make all the difference to me later.One day, when we were _________ a game against the Bucks, I was called out by the coach, Milwaukee, who gave me the _________ to guard our court. Though feeling a bit _________, I accepted. Throughout the game, I continued playing the defense role.Then near the end of the game, in a(n) _________ to widen the score gap, Milwaukee gave me a precious __________. He asked me to organize an attack. Running to the center of the court, I__________ the ball. It was a __________ three-point play and the championship was ours.Standing there in that circle of cheering audience, I came to __________ the importance of teamwork. Just as Milwaukee said, “__________ teams maybe have one or two players who stand out; good teams have five who work together. It is amazing what can be achieved when no one cares who gets his own __________.”21.A．confident B．excellent C．famous D．inexpert22.A．show B．provide C．impress D．depress 23.A．naturally B．already C．powerfully D．officially 24.A．focus B．call C．wait D．rely25.A．decision B．approach C．comment D．solution 26.A．checking in B．packing up C．applying for D．preparing for 27.A．partner B．credit C．responsibility D．movement 28.A．disappointed B．satisfied C．awkward D．cheerful 29.A．goal B．order C．effort D．exchange 30.A．lecture B．opportunity C．request D．strategy 31.A．kicked B．held C．caught D．shot32.A．key B．suitable C．typical D．formal33.A．explore B．realize C．organize D．view34.A．Formal B．Professional C．Poor D．Best35.A．present B．improvement C．power D．honor阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
