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。

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 __________.
