We're often told to follow our dreams, and one person in Canada has done just that after building a wonderland for animals. In his own backyard, the eight water features which Robert Perkins dug into the ground are now a shelter for birds, frogs, beavers（河狸） and other animals in the middle of suburban development. But for Perkins, creating habitat for wildlife is not only about doing his part to help the environment. It's a labor of love for a woman he met when he was 16 years old.
Perkins met Rhonda in 1974 and the two of them hit it off. They both loved animals, and she always wished to have a place where they could live in harmony with the land. Rhonda, whom Perkins stayed with all his life, passed away in 2006. Perkins resolved to build a wonderland where her spirit could stay in peace.
Ignoring planning departments and neighbors alike, Perkins began digging large holes for water to flow. Over the course of nine years his property went from being a neighborly headache to a perfect home for wildlife.
Perkins says he won't take all the credit for the wetland he built. When Perkins started creating the wildlife habitat in the early 2000s, a family of beavers got wind of it soon and claimed the land. "When we built our subdivisions, we cleared all the trees, dried the hills, drove all the water down to the lakes... In turn, the beavers helped dam（筑坝） and purify the water."
Wetland habitats not only attract wildlife, but probably offer the most complete package of ecosystem services, including preventing pollution, enriching the soil, and promoting the well-being of wildlife species.
Perkins says he doesn't need to wonder what Rhonda might think of the place; he feels her presence whenever he walks alone among the trees, the grass, and the ponds, looking at birds or beavers, and listening to the songbirds and frogs. Perkins hopes his project will one day become an educational place that local people can visit to learn about the importance of wetlands.
24. Why did Perkins build the water features
A. To fulfill his childhood dream. B. To show his love for his wife.
C. To preserve endangered wildlife. D. To adapt to suburban development.
25. Which best describes Perkins' wetland building process
A. Effortless but creative. B. Discouraging but efficient.
C. Painful but influential. D. Demanding but rewarding.
26. What can we infer about building the wetland from Perkins' words
A. Perkins had a strategic plan for it.
B. Human's role in it was overvalued.
C. Nature itself also played a part in it.
D. Beavers were invited to help with it.
27. What is Perkins's expectation of the wetland
A. To help spread his story. B. To be a recreational spot.
C. To bring economic value. D. To serve as an inspiration.
C
Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: "Did they like me or were they just being polite " "Were they deep in thought or deeply bored "
To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked.
Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company-a false belief we call the "liking gap".
This bias（偏见） may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together.
There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you're zeroed in on the other person, and the less you're focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn't do well.
28. Why did the author carry out 10 years of research
A. To dismiss national concerns.
B. To check out a potential bias.
C. To enhance human communication.
D. To develop harmonious relationships.
29. What is one effect of people's liking gap
A. Fewer chances of new projects.
B. Underestimation of their ability.
C. Bad relationships with people around.
D. Low willingness to interact with others.
30. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. Restate opinions.
B. Deliver warnings.
C. Give suggestions.
D. Make a summary.
31. Which might be the best title for the text
A. Liking Gap May Influence Work Performances
B. First Impressions Rely On Initial Conversations
C. People Probably Like You More Than You Think
D. How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume
D
Building artificial intelligences that sleep and dream can lead to more dependable models, according to researchers who aim to mimic（模仿） the behavior of the human brain.
Concetto Spampinato and his research members at the University of Catania, Italy, were looking for ways to avoid a phenomenon known as "disastrous forgetting", where an AI model trained to do a new task loses the ability to carry out jobs it previously excelled at. For instance, a model trained to identify animals could learn to spot different fish species, but then might lose its ability to recognize birds. They developed a method of training AI called Wake-Sleep Consolidated Learning (WSCL), which mimics the way that our brains reorganize short-term memories of daily learning when we are asleep.
Besides the usual training for the "awake" phase, models using WSCL are programmed to have periods of "sleep", where they analyze awake data from earlier lessons. This is similar to human spotting connections and patterns while sleeping.
WSCL also has a period of“dreaming”， which involves novel data made from combining previous concepts. This helps to integrate previous paths of digital "neurons（神经元）", freeing up space for future concepts. It also prepares unused neurons with patterns that will help them pick up new lessons more easily.
The researchers tested three AI models using a traditional training method, followed by WSCL training. Then they compared performances for image identification. The sleep-trained models were 2 to 12 percent more likely to correctly identify the contents of an image. They also measured an increase in how much old knowledge a model uses to learn a new task.
Despite the results, Andrew Rogoyski at the University of Surrey, UK, says using the human brain as a blueprint isn't necessarily the best way to boost AI performance. Instead, he suggests mimicking dolphins, which can "sleep" with one part of the brain while another part remains active. After all, an AI that requires hours of sleep isn't ideal for commercial applications.
32. WSCL was developed to help improve AI's ______.
A. reliability B. creativity C. security D. popularity
33. What do models using WSCL do during the "sleeping" periods
A. Generate new data.
B. Process previous data.
C. Receive data for later analysis.
D. Save data for the "awake" phase.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The application of WSCL.
B. The benefits of AI research.
C. The findings of the research.
D. The underlying logic of WSCL.
35. Which best describes Andrew's attitude towards the sleep-trained models
A. Cautious. B. Prejudiced. C. Pessimistic. D. Unconcerned.

Research has shown that mindful eating has positive impacts on people, so it's beneficial to know how to eat more mindfully. Here are some techniques for eating at a healthy pace.
Remove all distractions while you eat. 36 Make sure your cell phone is face down and you're not going to be responding to any messages that come through.
Take enough time to finish your meal. Even with all distractions removed, very often you still find yourself eating faster than you should. 37 It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full.
38 You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich. One way to slowdown is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal. Ask yourself: What's on my plate How hungry am I today Is it too salty Notice the smell, the taste and whatever other senses that arise as you eat.
Limit the amount of the food you might munch on（大口吃） mindlessly. Put a small amount of snack food, like potato chips, in a separate bowl to help avoid mindless munching. 39 Putting aside some of the food can help you eat less at a healthier pace.
Actually chew. If you're wolfing down（狼吞虎咽） your food you're probably not chewing it. And chewing is an important part of digestion. 40 Look at each bite before putting it into your mouth, acknowledge what you're eating and chew, chew, chew.
A. Notice all the little details about your food.
B. Limit your time for a meal within 20 minutes.
C. It helps break up the foods so it's easier for absorption.
D. Watch out for your food intake and the time you spend on it.
E. When you sit down to eat, spend at least 20 minutes doing so.
F. If you have a whole bag of it, it is challenging to stop after several bites.
G. They can limit your ability to enjoy your food and notice when you are full.

"Mom, please," Ann a begged eagerly. "Please, let me do it by myself!" She had never made cookies by herself before, but at the age of nine, she felt capable of handling many things. Her friends had been baking cupcakes for a year. Yet, it seemed her parents had little faith in her.
"Anna is going to make cookies Alone " her brother, Carl, asked with a laugh. "That is going to be disaster!" Carl used big words to act smarter than Anna. Having a big brother could be annoying. Admittedly, Anna always appeared clumsy. But that was before she turned nine. She thought her parents should realize she would do better now.
At her words, a flash of uncertainty crossed her parents' faces. Would they agree Holding her breath, she had waited for what seemed like ages. Surprisingly, Mom nodded, saying, "Okay, but please be careful, and remember to take a look at the cookbook first."
Fueled by determination, Anna raced to the kitchen. With each step, there was a sense of purpose and confidence growing within her. She had already done it with Mom a million times before. Putting the cookbook aside, she got down to baking cookies from memory, breaking eggs, dropping a cold stick of butter, adding salt and then…um…yes, mixing it well! Using a mixer was easy. She turned on the mixer at the medium speed—and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! Butter splattered(飞溅) everywhere, making the kitchen in a mess. Collecting herself, she turned back to the mixing bowl and started again. This time with softer butter.
Anna placed rounded spoonfuls of mixture onto the cookie pan and put it into the oven (烤炉). Within a few minutes, a fantastic smell filled the kitchen- the smell of cookie success! She was going to silence all those doubts. No more eye-rolling from her big brother. No more "You're too young, Anna" from her parents. She believed she was grown up and mature enough to be relied on.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The moment Anna pulled the pan out of the oven, Carl stepped into the kitchen. Now she decided to have another try, carefully following the cookbook.20232024学年佛山市普通高中高三教学质量检测（二)
