It was already in good shape, but I dreamed of creating a defining corporation of the 21st century, proud of its root, yet global and responsible in the shifting times.For months, I quietly read all I could about the big social trends influencing business. I walked the market, and examined employees’ feedback. I also dug deep into the obligations of public corporations. From all of this emerged a vision for the company that guided us for the next dozen years or so. I called it “Performance with Purpose”. The goal was to deliver great financial returns, as we always had, with three additional clear objects: to nourish humanity and the communities, to protect our environment and to cherish our people.My motivation was wholly to “future proof”, or de-risk. And it worked. In my 12 years as CEO, total shareholder return was 149%, and net profit jumped 80%. We cut the salt, fat, and sugar in so da and chips, added more healthful brands and products, and lowered the amount of water needed. We kept innovation going and our design studios won many awards. Our talent academy was so brilliant that nine senior managers left to take CEO jobs elsewhere.I believe that leaders must think from the future back, even when things are going fine. And we now have a framework to help: the evolving templates (模板) for environmental, social, and governance metrics (ESG衡量标准) that, in essence, serve to de-risk companies and markets. These criteria force discussion of hard truths for anyone with the ambition to stay relevant in the long term. If the metrics are carefully selected, ESG is not contrary to investors’ interests. Importantly, de-risking the company actually creates shareholder value.“Performance with Purpose” presented tough moments for me, including when one investor questioned, “Who do you think you are? A philanthropist (慈善家)?” But skepticism faded when a collective mission took hold that included both the bottom line and much beyond. This was my hope from the start.4．The author’s new vision for the company came from _________.A．its unique cultural root B．her thorough researchC．customers’ fundamental needs D．shareholders’ strong requirements 5．According to “Performance with Purpose”, an ideal company should _________.A．shift its strategies properly B．value employees’ feedbackC．shoulder social responsibility D．prioritize financial returns6．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The risks a company may face.B．The author’s ambition to create value.C．The interests investors seek after.D．The author’s recipe for successful business. 7．As CEO, the author can be best described as _________.A．inspiring and warm-hearted B．determined and far-sightedC．ambitious and generous D．modest and strategicIn 2022, the Nature Conservancy launched two 5-year pilot projects at working ranches (牧场) in Kansas and New Mexico to determine if virtual fences enable land managers to betterperform regenerative management practices and to assess potential benefits for biodiversity and for ranchers’ bottom lines, as well as impacts on soil carbon storage.Applauded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze (吃草). Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas.The cows are outfitted with battery-operated, GPS-enabled collars that send out a radio frequency to communicate with reception towers, creating virtual grazing boundaries set by a rancher. When a cow approaches the edge of the virtual boundary, the collar produces a sound suggesting it turning around. If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, indicating that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group.Grasslands are the least protected habitat on earth and one of the most effective carbon sinks, storing up to 20%of the world’s soil organic carbon. Unfortunately, grasslands are continuing to rapidly disappear for several reasons. For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking.“Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy. 8．What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2?A．Its smart design.B．Its wide application.C．Its major advantages.D．Its working principles.9．What does the mild shock signal to the cow?A．It’s time to graze.B．It’s time to return.C．It’s in danger.D．It’s in a wrong direction.10．What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle?A．Polluted soil.B．Intense efforts.C．Financial failure.D．Ecological imbalance.11．What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing?A．Objective.B．Intolerant.C．Dismissive.D．Conservative.You might not think that an AI capable of making music would stimulate your emotion, but others think differently, particularly those who gathered at Mexico City’s Symphony Hall in 2019 for Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, which I finished using melodies generated by an AI.As the orchestra (管弦乐团) finished Schubert’s original work and began the music the AI and I had written, I could feel the crowd’s energy shift from astonishment to indignation and fear. They seemed afraid that an AI might be able to make emotional symphonic music. You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.Positive and negative, people reacted very strongly to AI’s symphonic debut (首秀). Even though most people don’t believe that AI can create something enjoyable, they, at least partly, did enjoy the Unfinished Symphony.Enjoyment in music implies that there’s something in the music that the listener connects to, a perception of shared emotion. But, in the case of AI music, an emotion shared with who? AI, as of yet, has no emotions. So what is the meaning of music made without an emotional composer? The unsatisfying answer is that music has no objective meaning. A composer can decide how a piece of music sounds, but it’s the listener that decides what it means.No matter how it’s created, music doesn’t exist in a vacuum (真空) to the listener. The meaning we assign to music depends on its context — how the piece connects to other elements in our lives. Without context, music is like the results of a game whose rules have been lost. The context for a music is part of who you are. The music is emotional to you because you have the context to appreciate it. As it continues to evolve, AI music will develop its own context. Certainly, it’ll be different from human-made music. It’ll mix existing genres to create new ones; it’ll combine instruments that we wouldn’t think of combining. Its rules will be different.I’m now always asked the same question: “Who put the emotion in that music: you, the composer, or the AI?” But that’s not the question they really want to ask, though. There’s a deeperquestion that most people are too afraid to ask right now: “Are my emotions so simple that they can be maneuvered by a machine?”In my experience, this could be possible one day. If a modestly capable music AI in 2019 could stir up emotions of an audience, maybe AI can have a more powerful effect on our emotional lives than we’d like to admit.12．The audience reacted strongly to the symphony mainly due to ______.A．their doubts about AI’s capabilities B．their uneasiness about AI’s influenceC．the orchestra’s brilliant presentation of AI music D．the likeness between AI music and the original work13．What might the author agree with?A．AI poses little impact on people’s emotions.B．Music bears no intended emotional meaning.C．AI music will outperform human-made music.D．The context reflects people’s interpretation of music.14．What does the word “maneuvered” underlined in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?A．Refreshed.B．Challenged.C．Revealed.D．Directed. 15．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Are Composers To Be Replaced?B．Would AI Music Be a Rising Trend?C．Could AI Make Music That Moves You?D．Was the Unfinished Symphony Successful?While technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students’ digital well-being.Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 16Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is associated with an increase in social media use. 17 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren’t serving their well-being.18 Social media can bring the feeling: “All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts” can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven’t yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens get rid of some negative thoughts.Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly transforming the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see on our feeds and in our search results, can have very real consequences. 19 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology.Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you’re teaching in class. 20 Knowing we’re all in the same boat is crucial.A．Social media is ruining our life.B．Connect them with their inner world.C．Build their awareness of thinking traps.D．This by no means indicates all technology is bad.E．They can pull us toward increasingly extreme views.F．It turns out adults and kids all pursue digital well-being.G．Knowing these can motivate students to get back their attention.二、完形填空When Shelby Lattimore, a math and science teacher, saw her third graders weren’t attending class, she found a fun way to change that. The 25-year-old teacher started her class 21 to encourage them not only to 22 but to get excited about learning.In the class, students can choose from a variety of “ 23 ” from being a door holder to being a cleanup crew. They get “paid” every two weeks and the 24 they get depends on which job they take on. The money is not real but play money spent on a homework pass, a seat change, and so on.Each month, Lattimore’s students also have to pay “rent” for their class desk and chair. To keep things interesting, Lattimore also introduced a new 25 to her current class. At thebeginning of the school year, she 26 students $5 and then once the new year hit, the 27 increased to $7. “So that was kind of an 28 that they had to make,” she said.Students can buy rewards once a month. The reward 29 low, medium and high price ranges, with $2 candy being the cheapest option to a more 30 $5 “lunch with Ms. L” reward. Students can also 31 to “take someone’s job” for $20 or work up toward the most expensive reward, being the teacher for $30.Today, Lattimore has seen how much they’ve learned about various 32 from budgeting and saving to reading a receipt and 33 change. She has also heard from students’ families, who are 34 of this idea because their kids are learning something they never learned at this age. “That’s really the goal here, to not just 35 them this year, but to keep it going,” she added.21．A．report B．economy C．interaction D．survey 22．A．get through B．take over C．set out D．show up 23．A．tools B．areas C．jobs D．parts 24．A．amount B．outcome C．position D．honour 25．A．term B．test C．choice D．idea 26．A．awarded B．charged C．returned D．refused 27．A．bonus B．fine C．rent D．income 28．A．appearance B．exception C．adjustment D．impression 29．A．covers B．reveals C．follows D．combines 30．A．general B．expensive C．suitable D．tasty 31．A．save up B．settle down C．go around D．move on 32．A．opinions B．roles C．comments D．skills 33．A．sharing B．donating C．spending D．counting 34．A．careful B．supportive C．tolerant D．aware 35．A．accept B．praise C．impact D．bless三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(一个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

ATraveling to popular destinations can often mean dealing with large crowds, long lines, and a less authentic experience. To truly immerse yourself in the culture and natural beauty of a place, consider venturing off the beaten path. By bypassing welltrodden tourist spots, you can uncover lesserknown locales that offer a more serene and enriching travel experience.WHEN IN ICELAND, BYPASS THE BLUE LAGOONIs it the steamy social media shot or a hot spring experience you’re after? Iceland offers both in multiple locations beyond the Blue Lagoon. The Land of Fire and Ice is home to innumerable streams, springs, rivers, and lakes that make for incredibly relaxing settings to soak in. You can escape the throngs of tourists and still enjoy the same kind of aquamarinecolored water at Myvatn Nature Baths in northern Iceland. Traveling farther afield not only means fewer people in the pools but also increases your chances of catching sight of the Northern Lights.SAVE VENICE AND HEAD FOR SLOVENIA INSTEADIt’s no secret that Venice and its residents are struggling with tourism. And we can’t blame them. The impact of boatloads of travelers — around 60,000 visitors that descend on this fragile city each day — has transformed it from its former status of “La Serenissima” (“most serene”) into anything but. Throngs of people, overcrowded canals, damaged ecosystems, skyrocketing rents, and authentic artisan shops replaced by cheap souvenir stores have dramatically changed the quality of life, forcing out some thousand residents each year and threatening the city’s UNESCO status. If you love Venice, do the Floating City a favor and let it go for now. If you really can’t do without waterways, head further west to Ljubljana, where you can cruise to your heart’s content on the jadecolored river that winds through this friendly, ecoconscious capital city.SKIP BALI AND HEAD TO RAJA AMPATLong revered as a significant spiritual sanctuary, Bali in recent years has been overrun by tourists. The intense uptick in tourists has led to an increase in prices, crowds, and strain on natural resources —and consequently a decline in the quality of life and experiences for locals and visitors alike. Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands, so you won’t even have to leave the archipelago to find an alternative. Beckoning with idyllic, whitesand beaches and thriving reefs, the Raja Ampat Islands are heaven on Earth. Whether you’re an underwater enthusiast, want to stroll through the jungle and spot tropical birds and wildlife, or simply desire a peaceful place to kick back and relax, you’ll find all the serenity you seek — and none of the crowds — here.1. What additional benefit does visiting the Myvatn Nature Baths offer pared to the Blue Lagoon?A. Higher water temperatures.B. More luxurious facilities.C. Closer proximity to the capital of the country.D. Increased chances of seeing the polar lights.2. Which of the following statements is true about the impact of tourism on Venice?A. Tourism has had little effect on Venice’s economy.B. Tourism has caused rents to decrease significantly.C. Tourism has led to the closure of many artisan shops.D. Tourism has improved the quality of life for most Venetians.3. What makes the Raja Ampat Islands a good alternative to Bali?A. They are more developed and have more luxury resorts.B. They are closer to major cities and easier to access.C. They offer a more serene environment with fewer crowds.D. They have a similar level of mercialization and activity.BMore than a million people have reportedly tried out ChatGPT, a new chatbot from the research lab OpenAI. Users can ask it questions, or submit prompts for poems, term papers, or essays. “It makes mistakes,” Calum Chace, the author and expert on AI told us, “and copies from the Internet. But the speed and quality is remarkable.”A user asked ChatGPT to write a poem about childhood. Within seconds, it sent back these lines: “Childhood, a time of wonders, a time of joy and fun...” and went on to invoke trees, mud pies, innocence, and the sound of cicadas. What, no puppies?Katha Pollitt, one of America’s great poets and critics, read that poem and said, “Cliche d and tiresome. I don’t think Auden has to worry about his laurels.” Some asked ChatGPT to conjure a verse about bagels (圆形面包) in the style of William Shakespeare. “It’s a bagel, a round delight;” the chatbot burped back—“a breakfast treat to make us bri ght; a crisp, chewy texture to please; a sprinkle of sesame for ease…”Katha Pollitt wasn’t impressed. “No wordplay or anything to think about. The bot has not had any experiences or emotions, and no imagination. It has no sense of the multiple meanings and resonances of words. So how could it write a good poem?”It is inviting to end with that critical slamdunk from a great poet to dismiss chatbots that write, draw, or soon, I’m sure, talk like a radio host. But Calum Chace cautions that Artificial Intelligence software will keep learning. It has no human experiences, but also no human foibles, like exhaustion, distraction, anxiety, or forgetfulness. Humans may soon bee, he says, “the secondsmartest species on the planet. It will be the most important event in human history. Bar none. The oute may well be fabulous for humanity, but that is not guaranteed.” So be polite to bots. Maybe they’ll remember us kindly when their day arrives.4. According to Calum Chace, what are some limitations of ChatGPT?A. It cannot make mistakes.B. It lacks accuracy and originality.C. It cannot produce highquality content.D. It needs to improve the speed to generate responses.5. How did Katha Pollitt react to the poem about childhood generated by ChatGPT?A. She thought it was a masterpiece.B. She was impressed by the originality.C. She found it plain and not interesting.D. She considered it a challenge to traditional poetry.6. What does the underlined word “foible” mean in the last paragraph?A. meritB. appearanceC. shortingD. behavior7. What advice does the author give regarding our interaction with AI in the future?A. We should be cautious and avoid using AI.B. We should treat AI with respect and politeness.C. We should focus on developing AI’s emotional intelligence.D. We should ensure that AI never surpasses human intelligence.C“The Seine is the river that made Paris”, said The New York Times. Being the main river of Paris, the Seine River collects the remains of human progress and civilization over time. Over the centuries, it has functioned as a protective barrier, a water source, a drainage system and a place for washing clothes, National Geographic reported.Many of the city’s iconic landmarks and structures, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Place de la Concorde, are situated along its banks. The famous French artist Claude Monet dedicated his life to painting the Seine from various perspectives. One of them is The Banks of the Seine,Ile de la Grande Jatte, which shows the river in pink, white, and blue.Today, both residents and tourists flock to the Seine’s riverbanks for sightseeing, shopping, dining, or simply to enjoy the city’s bustling atmosphere.However, Paris has faced many challenges in its efforts to clean up the Seine in time for the 2024 Olympics. The river will play a significant role in the opening ceremony of the Games, and will be the venue for the triathlon and swimming marathon events.In the 17th century, swimming in the Seine was very popular. But for the last hundred years, it has been prohibited due to health and safety concerns. Over the past decade, Paris has invested about 1.4 billion euros (about 11 billion yuan) on a project to restore the river’s ecosystem and ensure its safety. The primary goal is to make the river suitable for bathing by 2025, with the Paris Games boosting that aim.However, test results in April still showed high levels of bacteria in the collected samples from the river, according to a French water charity.The city built a giant storage basin capable of holding 46,000 cubic meters of waste water to significantly reduce the risks of pollution in the Seine. The basin is 30 meters deep, the size of a dozen Olympic swimming pools. Once the rain is collected, it will be moved through a tunnel to a treatment plant. When the water in the basin meets the required health criteria it will then be poured into the Seine.“It’s feasible to clean up a river because the water’s flowing,” Ted Steiner, professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia, Canada, told Global News. “Especially if you’ve got the appropriate volume of water running through the river, things get diluted to a point where there’s not a whole lot of risk.”8. What role has the Seine played in the history of Paris?A. It functioned as a trade route for importing goods.B. It served as a defence and provided a water supply.C. It was used exclusively for recreational activities.D. It was the site of numerous battles and military conflicts.9. What challenges has Paris faced in its efforts to clean up the Seine for the 2024 Olympics?A. High levels of bacteria in the river.B. Limited funding for the project.C. Resistance from local residents.D. Difficulty finding suitable venues for events.10. What is the primary goal of the cleanup project for the Seine River?A. To make the river suitable for boating activities.B. To reestablish the river’s ecosystem and maintain its purity for bathing.C. To attract more tourists to the riverbanks.D. To create a new habitat for aquatic wildlife.11. According to Ted Steiner, what makes cleaning up a river like the Seine practicable?A. The sufficient natural flow of the river.B. The use of advanced water filtration technologies.C. The construction of barriers to prevent pollution.D. The implementation of strict environmental regulations.DHow are we supposed to work out what to listen to? Yes, you can “save” an album to your “library”, but the fact that you haven’t spent any money on it makes this “library” feel impersona l and superficial, while the fact that there is no album sleeve（唱片封面）to peruse or acknowledgments to read lessens the sense of connection with the music and the artist. Likewise, opening a PDF version of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude carries none of the excitement of finding it after a long search in a dusty library. The lack of any friction in these processes is deeply unsatisfying, while the overavailability of everything, as any dating expert will confirm, lessens our desire for it. Witness, then, the revival of all sorts of oldschool formats that allow us to regain the sense that we can tangibly “own” things, and that give us a rare opportunity to limit our horizons. Fairly well known by now is the resurgence of vinyl (黑胶唱片): UK sales rose for the 16th consecutive year in 2023 to 5.9mn records, the highest level since 1990. And despite ebooks’ portability and convenience, almost four printed books were sold in the UK for every ebook in 2022, according to Nielsen. One might imagine that this is all being driven by old fogeys missing the Good Old Days, but the opposite is true.In a Harris Poll in 2023, a staggering 77 per cent of Americans aged 35~54, and 63 per cent of 18to34yearolds, said they’d like to return to a time when humanity was “unplugged” (only 60 per cent of the over55s agreed).Younger buyers are also leading the resurgence in vinyl and cassette tapes,having missed them the first time round. We weren’t designed to have the output of all of human history at our fin gertips, nor to be contactable at all times —but that is the situation we now find ourselves in, and it’s both a great privilege and a curse.12. According to the passage, why does the author believe the revival of old formats is appealing to people?A. It provides a more convenient way to listen to music.B. It allows for easier access to digital copies of albums.C. It increases the overavailability of music, making it more desirable.D. It offers a tangible form of ownership and a sense of connection to the music.13. How does the passage pare the experience of reading a PDF book to that of finding a physical book in a library?A. Reading a PDF book is more exciting.B. Reading a PDF book lacks the thrill of discovery.C. Finding a physical book is more convenient.D. Finding a physical book is less satisfying.14. According to the passage, why do younger buyers lead the resurgence in vinyl and cassette tapes?A. They are nostalgic for the past.B. They find digital music too expensive.C. They missed out on these formats when they were first popular.D. They prefer the sound quality of analog formats.15. What can possibly be the main idea of the passage?A. The decline of physical media is inevitable.B. The digital age has made it easier to access music and literature.C. Older generations are leading the revival of vinyl records and printed books.D. The resurgence of oldschool formats is driven by younger generations seeking tangible ownership.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

山东省潍坊市大联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Mathematics for Computer ScienceThis subject offers an introduction to discrete mathematics(离散数学)oriented toward computer science and engineering.Course Meeting TimesLectures:3 sessions/week, 1. 5 hour/session Problem Sets (psets)Problem sets account for 20% of the final grade. Making a reasonable effort on the problem sets is, for most students, crucial for mastering the course material. Problem sets are designed to be completed in at most 3 hours; the time is monitored through student reports. Online Feedback ProblemsOnline problems to be completed before most class meetings are posted on the class website. These consist of straightforward questions that provide useful feedback about the assigned material. Some students prefer to try the online problems before reading the text or watching videos as an advance guide to going over the material; that’s fine. Watching designated videos, or at least looking at the lecture-slide handouts, is generally helpful but optional.Like team problem-solving in class, online problems are graded only on participation: Students receive full credit as long as they try the problem, even if their answer is wrong. Online feedback problems account for 10% of the final grade. Midterm ExamsThree 80-minute midterm exams will be given. The midterm exams each account for 15%of the final grade.Midterm questions will typically be variations of prior problems from class and psets, and the best way to prepare is to review on the published solutions to these problems. The first exam covers all previous weeks’ material;subsequent exams focus on the material after the previous exam. Final ExamThere will be a three-hour final exam. This exam is worth 25% of the final class grade. The final exam will cover the entire subject with somewhat greater emphasis on material from after Midterm 3. Most exam questions will be variants of problems assigned during the term(psets,class, midterm, and online). It may include a few questions which combine topics that were originally covered separately.1．What determines students’ grade in Online Feedback Problems?A．Active involvement.B．Submission time.C．Accuracy of answers.D．Completion of assignments2．What is the main focus of the final exam?A．Variants of problem sets.B．Combined topics in class.C．The content after midterm exams.D．The whole-term course materials. 3．Which of the following weighs the most in the final grade?A．Final Exam.B．Midterm Exams.C．Problem Sets.D．Online Feedback ProblemsIt all started with a simple question;“Can I paint your portrait (肖像)?”In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson was reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man. Inspired by the book, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris who failed to pursue a career in music and ended up being homeless.“I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown fingernails, and probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year. ”Even though Peterson hadn’t pioked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes.Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Working from a black-and-white photo of the subject, Peterson chooses colors inspired by the subject’s personality and life story, creating an impressive portrait.Peterson sells the striking artwork, signed by both subject and artist, dividing the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a“love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities. But Peterson has learned not to make assumptions about what a personneeds most. “I’ve made a mistake thinking I knew what people wanted, ” he says, “but why don’t we just ask them?”Peterson has discovered that there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. The buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now, ’ ”Peterson says.4．What brought Peterson and Faris together?A．Beauty on Faris’ face.B．Inspiration from a book.C．Peterson’s passion for art.D．Faris’ suffering in his life.5．What does the underlined word “mistake” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．Selling the homeless’ portraits for profits.B．Giving instant necessities to the homeless.C．Asking the homeless for their needs directly.D．Taking what the homeless want for granted.6．What does Peterson imply in the last paragraph?A．The homeless are gaining more concern.B．The life of the homeless is different now.C．Buyers value friendship with the homeless.D．Figures in Peterson’s paintings are popular.7．What can we learn from this text?A．A good model is key to a fine artwork.B．An expected decision makes a great artist.C．A picture really is worth a thousand words.D．Each unfortunate person has his own misfortune.The Malagasy baobab tree, whose thick trunks and tiny branches dot Madagascar’s landscape, should not, by rights, have survived to the present day. Scientists believe that its large seeds were once spread by the giant tortoises and lemur monkeys that wandered the island. When these species went extinct over one thousand years ago owing to human activity, the baobab treeshould have disappeared too. It did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, now think they may know the reason why.Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 tree canopies (树冠) in a western region of Madagascar, to identify any animals that might have claimed the role of baobab-seed spread. The researchers also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits lying on the ground, and searched any faeces (粪便) that they encountered along the way for the presence of seeds.They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rodent (啮齿动物) known as the western bunch-tailed rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no footage of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team did chance upon 13 fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify an initiator, this was clear evidence that a seed- distributing animal was out there. They then found the ecological equivalent of a smoking gun:baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig faces.While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar’s pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins.8．What made scientists think the baobab tree should have disappeared?A．The extinction of its seed spreader.B．The destruction of human activitiesC．The inadaptation of the baobab tree.D．The increase of its natural enemies. 9．What are camera traps used for?A．Seeking seed-containing fruits.B．Tracking the footprints of seeds.C．Recording the animals’ activities.D．Monitoring the baobab tree canopies. 10．Which is most probably the seed-eater according to the report?A．The giant tortoise B．The bunch-tailed rat.C．The European rabbit.D．The bush-pig.11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce a new way to protect the baobab tree.B．To show non-native species are not always harmful.C．To compare different kinds of seed-distributing methods.D．To explain the importance of protecting endangered species.The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction.Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it.Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster.The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation.Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction.12．What is delayed satisfaction?A．Making quick decisions.B．Giving in to desires instantly.C．Immediate rewards for impulses.D．Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 13．Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain?A．It can lead to missed opportunities B．It’s bad for achieving long-term goals.C．It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D．It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B．An example of self-discipline techniques.C．A method of practicing delayed satisfaction.D．The effectiveness of keeping the chain going.15．What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations?A．Ignore useless details.B．Get rid of old bad habits.C．Concentrate on true inner wants.D．Cancel temptations from the calendar.Facing hard things is, well, hard. Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. 16 The difficulties might be an outdated habit, a troubling memory or a long- ignored conflict.Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house. 17 People often encounter similar problems. Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom. 1819 It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot. We have to take a calmer look and pull apart each wire one at a time. We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves. 20 Nevertheless, once they have been freed, they can sometimes be separated, put aside, and used as needed. A．They are just there and part of the chaos.B．And humans are masters of avoidance and denial.C．The overall benefits from tough work enable growthD．Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated.E．Sadly, it often worsens when we approach it with anger.F．However, problems cannot be faced if they are not first recognized.G．Quick fixes might provide relief in the short term but often not in the long term.二、完形填空Madeline sat on her bed and tried to write.

My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.“What do you think, Mom?” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.“It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It isa beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful anddeepened my appreciation for family and friends.There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart. 4．How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son?A．Curious.B．Relieved.C．Guilty.D．Dissatisfied. 5．What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift?A．The understanding of Jason’s thoughts.B．The recognition of her own potential.C．The skirt that matches the blouse.D．The praise from Jason.6．After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.A．careful about choosing giftsB．indifferent to receiving giftsC．joyful about choosing giftsD．grateful for receiving gifts7．What can we learn from this passage?A．What suits you is best for you.B．Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.C．An open mind is the source of progress.D．Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt.Eating a plant- based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)… related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single food s or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.8．What can we learn from the new study led by Feng?A．It followed a young UK person for 13 years.B．Its findings came as no surprise to other people.C．It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.D．Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.9．What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect?A．It was totally made up by some researchers.B．It still held true despite some different findings.C．It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.D．It was a misconception caused by differences in people.10．Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase“ take exception to”?A．V oice objections to.B．Add details to.C．Display ignorance of.D．Take notice of.11．What did Lichtenstein think of the study?A．It was groundbreaking.B．It was one- sided.C．It would cause confusion.D．It needed more evidence.I have taught medical students for 40 years in many contexts — on hospital rounds, during patient appointments, running small group discussions, and teaching large classes. I have lectured on topics that range from biochemical pathways to lifestyle diseases to nutrition science and the biology of aging.The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that.In my 40 years of teaching, I’ve never seen such a dramatic change. The pandemic forced first- and second-year medical students into virtual classes, causing in-person attendance to dive. As I watched this shift to remote learning, I worried about its impact on future doctors. The engagement I once saw in the classroom is now hidden behind screens, and I find myself wondering if my stories and lessons are having the same impact.The shift to virtual learning also worries me about the future of medical education. The personal nature of medicine, often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment.Finally, there is a very real threat to medical education in changing the role of the physician professors. Doctors are unusual among professions in the expectation that they will teach medical students regardless of where and what specific field of medicine they practice. Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much ofwhich is often done on an entirely voluntary basis.12．What did the author enjoy most in the past 40 years?A．Telling attractive stories.B．Lecturing on many topics.C．Sharing his values and attitude.D．Being experienced and respected. 13．What is important for the future of medical education?A．Appealing nature of medicine.B．Well-rounded clinical trainings.C．Hands-on non-virtual experiences.D．Students’ special personal talents. 14．According to paragraph 5, what worries the author?A．Medical professors might be expected to teach wherever they are.B．Medical professors might not fully devote themselves to teaching.C．Medical professors might lose most of the students’ satisfaction.D．Medical professors might change their role to be student-centered.15．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The issues with reduced face-to-face lecture attendance.B．The debates over necessity of virtual medical education.C．The problems of medical students, low employment rate.D．The concerns about the shift to virtual medical education.In the modem world, we are encouraged to be busy and as productive as possible. Most of us probably feel the pressure to perform efficiently. 16 Faster doesn’t equal better. And being busier does not mean we are more productive. We might also struggle to slow down. So how do we slow down? Here are some science-based strategies to try.Take intentional pauses. Taking intentional pauses can lead to better outcomes. It turns out that when teachers pause after asking a question and after receiving a response, it improves students’ use of language and logic. This suggests that we should give ourselves a bit more time to think through the questions we encounter in life. 17Spend less time on your phone. We often feel tired and need a break from our busy day, so we pick up our phones. We surf through social media, the news, or shopping websites. 18 That’s the opposite of slowing down. To start, it would do us some good to spend less time on our phones. Then, it also matters a lot how we spend time on our phones. Are we stimulating our brainwith information or anger? Or are we using our phones to relax and recover?19 Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed by life, s fast pace, the true source of that chaos often lies within our own minds. Maybe we’re running over what we’ll say to our coworker tomorrow. 20 One effective strategy to aid this process can be daily journaling — we get those thoughts out of our heads and onto paper. We might also go for a run or take a cold shower — two techniques that can help our brains change direction and start thinking differently.A．Slow down your mind.B．Write down your thoughts.C．And being busier means that we are more productive.D．Thus, we are more likely to come up with better answers.E．But all that these activities do is make our heads even fuller.F．Sometimes we just need to stop briefly and reset our thought.G．But this feeling of “time urgency” actually leads us to perform worse.二、完形填空Rob made ends meet for his family as a handyman, doing odd jobs around the area.

To reach the national stage, one must win their class, school and regional bees. After winning my regional bee, I focused on the final — I studied thousands of roots and hundreds of thousands of words.I had lost dozens of bees since I started competing in the 2nd grade. The first word I stumbled over was “Wednesday”, spelling it as “W-E-N-S-D-A-Y”. In 2021, I was knocked out in the third round, and in 2022, I didn’t even qualify. The final year of eligibility (资格) was the 8th grade, so I had only one chance left in 2023．After reflecting on my spelling journey, I realized I had spent so much time pursuing the’ victory but not finding joy in the process itself. So I let go of the pressure that I had to win. Instead, I focused more on having fun learning the words. I reminded myself why I started in the first place:my passion for words.Last June, I finally won the championship. Studying for the bee was painstaking at times. With almost 500, 000 words in the dictionary, I organised my weak spots into dozens of Excel sheets.I now apply this method to projects and assignments in high school. I have an Excel sheet filled with clever rhyming and memory skills to help me remember spellings. So, now, if I need to learn lines for my drama class. I think up a mnemonic (助记符号). In biology, I came across technical terms with Greek and Latin roots I had studied and my skills come in handy for English class.The spelling bee has taught me how to plan and organise. I’ve learned to be unafraid to take risks and to enjoy learning about the world I can now connect my knowledge of words to science,history, and more. Now that I’m in high school. I value enjoying the experience of learning, instead of pursuing a perfect score on every test.4．What does the underlined phrase “stumbled over” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Encountered．B．Misspelt.C．Whispered.D．Interrupted．5．What caused his failing to win before?A．The young age.B．The lack of willpower.C．The focus on winning.D．The relaxed attitude to the contest. 6．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Why he can do well in all school subjects.B．How winning the contest makes him popular.C．Why mnemonic is an important tool for study.D．How he uses his memory skills in high school.7．What can we learn from the author’s story?A．Focus on process and not outcome.B．Failure is a reflection of laziness.C．Seize every chance that comes along.D．Education is the key to success.Many people are busy experimenting with chatbots, hoping generative artificial intelligence (AI) can improve their daily lives.Scientists are several steps ahead. As reported, 10%or more of abstracts for papers in scientific journals now are written in part by large language models (LLMs). In fields such as computer science, that figure rises to 20%.Scientists are not just devoted to laboratory work or thinking big thoughts. They face great demands, from writing papers and teaching to filling out endless gran t(拨款) applications. LLMs help by speeding up the writing of papers, thus freeing up time for scientists to develop new ideas or check for mistakes in their work.The technology can also help level a playing-field that favours native English speakers,because many important journals are in their tongue. LLMs can help those who do not speak the language well translate and edit their text. Therefore, scientists everywhere can spread their findings more easily and be judged by the brilliance of their ideas rather than their language skills.As with any technology, there are worries. Science received 10, 444 submissions last year,of which 83%were rejected before peer(同行)review. Some of these must have been AI-generated．LLMs’ lack of imagination may lead to plagiarism, in which they directly copy past work by humans. “Hallucinations” that are obviously wrong to experts, but very believable to everyone else, could also make their way into the text. And most worrying of all, writing can be an essential part of the research process, by helping researchers clarify and produce their own ideas. Too much reliance on LLMs could make science poorer.Trying to restrict the use of LLMs is not the way to deal with these problems. Peer review will become more important. Pay reviewers for the time they sacrifice (牺牲) to check papers. Motivate researchers to do repeated experiments before writing a paper. Hiring and promotion committees at universities should ensure that scientists are rewarded based on the quality of their work and the quantity of new insights they generate.8．What is a benefit of using LLMs according to the text?A．Filling out grant applications.B．Generating new ideas in the study.C．Quickening the writing of papers.D．Assessing non-native speakers’ work. 9．What can we learn about LLMs from Paragraph5?A．They can make scientists inactive in mind．B．They are trained to have rich imagination.C．They create mistakes that confuse experts.D．They are heavily relied on by researchers.10．How can people make better use of LLMs in the science world?A．By limiting the use of them in science.B．By investing in peer reviewing papers.C．By describing lab work more precisely D．By employing scientists of good qualities. 11．What’s the author’s attitude towards LLMs?A．Doubtful.B．Tolerant.C．Objective.D．Conservative.Ask any birder, and they’ll tell you about the great excitement of identifying a new species. Recently a tapping sound outside a window led my family to the presence of a striking, unfamiliar woodpecker (啄木鸟) in a nearby tree. Its head had large red feathers, and it was huge — the size of a crow (乌鸦). Curious, my husband, a birder, turned to a phone app and soon knew it was a Pileated Woodpecker.Curiosity is what drives us to find answers as soon as possible. In previous research, when people were able to choose whether to receive their highly anticipated answer to a question now or later, they generally opted for the fastest path to resolution. This impatience for answers shows a main function of curiosity:to reduce uncertainty.But this picture of curiosity is incomplete. In a new study, we explored whether there are multiple flavours of curiosity. We found that although interest can drive an urgent desire for answers, it can also lead to more patience, setting people up for those moments of discovery.We asked more than 2, 000 people aged 19 to 76 years to watch a series of short videos. Each video started with a blank screen. A line would then appear and gradually take a shape. Imagine a dynamic line that begins to go upward and downward, tracing a series of triangles (三角形). The line then extends, forming an oval around the triangles, like an egg. Then, just as you start to feel certain about what the finished drawing will be, long, pointy tips are drawn at the top, revealing the true subject: a pineapple.While the participants watched each video, we asked them to report how curious they were about what the drawing would become. We also gave them the choice to either keep watching it slowly unfold or jump to the end of the video, showing the result immediately. Interestingly, when participants were more curious about what the drawing would become, they were more likely to continue watching rather than skipping ahead to the answer. In other words, greater curiosity motivated people to slow down, be patient and invest in experiencing the winding path to resolution.Learning new things can be tough, but making use of curiosity can help us enjoy the process of learning and feel happy in overcoming challenges.12．Why does the author mention the woodpecker in the first paragraph?A．To indicate people’s curiosity vary.B．To reveal the fun of bird-watching.C．To introduce the topic of curiosity.D．To highlight the use of technology. 13．What did the earlier research find out about people’s desire for the answer?A．They preferred to get it quickly.B．They wanted to get it by themselves.C．They desired for different answers.D．They would like a delayed answer. 14．What were the participants asked to do in the experiment?A．Watch the screen and draw a picture.B．Observe and describe their feelings.C．Learn to draw a complicated shape.D．Wait for the final result patiently. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Curiosity Makes Us PatientB．How People Reduce Uncertainties in LifeC．Curiosity Makes People Hungry for KnowledgeD．A New Study Proves People’s Eagerness to LearnRucking, also known as yomping or tabbing, has its origins in military training, where soldiers march with heavy backpacks to build endurance (耐力), strength, and mental toughness. Today, it’s gaining popularity among people looking for an effective workout without gym equipment. But before you put on that backpack, here’s what you need to know to get started safely.16 It can cause serious injury to the spine, neck, knees, hips, etc, if not done right. Anyone with a history of injury, particularly related to the knees or lower back should seek professional advice before pursuing rucking.Civilian rucking doesn’t need to be as intense as military training. Start light, and gradually build the weight from there. 17 Starting short is advisable. Limit rucking to once or twice a week to see how your body responds and build up the duration. “I do it when I go out with the dog,” a rucking fan says. “It fits in with my lifestyle.”You don’t need specialized equipment to start rucking. A backpack filled with books,water bottles, or canned food works just fine. 18 Getting the load distribution and backpack right is a hard thing to do.You can consider backpacks with breathable backspace and waist belts. They can help distribute the load evenly. 19 Wearing supportive boots instead of running shoes when carrying a heavy pack is also preferable.20 It requires minimal equipment — a backpack and some weight — making it an excellent alternative for those who might find traditional gym exercises boring or inaccessible. So, if you are someone who loves being outdoors, then rucking is a great way to improve your joint health and build a bit of strength and resilience (恢复力).A．Rucking indoors is ideal.B．Rucking is simple and flexible.C．Rucking isn’t to be taken lightly.D．They can also offer a comfortable experience.E．Rucking-like exercises can offer significant benefits.F．It’s good to start as light as 5-10 percent of the body weight.G．Do pack them uniformly to avoid rubbing or uneven distribution.二、完形填空Mason Branstrator has always been a(n) athlete, but three years ago, at just 17 years old, his active lifestyle changed forever.“I was going for a(n) 21 day of downhill skiing, but this time, it was a lot different.”.
