There’s no extra charge for guests with dogs and they’ll love running in the grounds.

In the late 1980s the population of the seals decreased to its lowest point, with fewer than 200 left, driven by hunting and deaths caused by fish traps. Accidental deaths in fishing nets remain a challenge. Now, the seals are fully protected but the threat of the climate emergency is worrying. The seals make “snow caves” inside snow drifts where they raise their young and protect them from the elements and predators such as red foxes, but as the climate warms, the snow is disappearing.To save these rare seals, 300 volunteers spend days shovelling snow into piles 7m long and 1.5m high around the edge of the frozen lake. “It’s kind of a snow cave,” says Vincent Biard, a PhD student and volunteer from the University of Eastern Finland. “The seals come from under and dig into the snow drifts to create a cave where they can give birth and raise their young.” They get around on foot or skis, dragging their equipment with them over a distance of 10km. Biard describes the day as “kind of fun”, and adds, “you actually have an impact, which is nice. If we don’t do it, then they would just go extinct quite quickly.”More than 300 pups have been born in artificial snowdrifts since they started making them in 2014. “We are on a rising growth curve, so things still look pretty nice,” says Jari Ilmonen, coordinator of Our Saimaa Seal Life, which is an EU-funded programme. “We are doing what we can, so we have to have hope and positive thoughts.” Human-made snow drifts are larger and “more durable than natural snow drifts”, says Ilmonen. “By the first half of February most of the natural ones had melted away, but the manmade ones stood strong.”4 What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about A. The two functions of snow drifts. B. The threats to the Saimaa ringed seals.C. The big concern about global warming. D. The full recovery of the seals’ population.5. Which of the following can best describe the work of the volunteers A. Effective but boring. B. Valuable but impractical.C. Demanding but fulfilling. D. Dangerous but enjoyable.6. What does Ilmonen say about manmade snow drifts A. They can help all marine life survive winters.B. They are more comfortable than natural ones.C. They will not melt until the end of the spring.D. They have seen progress in protecting the seals.7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text A. To celebrate an effort to protect wildlife. B. To introduce one of endangered animals.C. To explain benefits of artificial snowdrifts. D. To raise the awareness of the climate crisis.CFor cycle-to-work people and those who start the day with a walk, the benefits of banking some early exercise are well understood. Now scientists believe activity is not just a good idea for improving the day ahead. Physical activity could be associated with a small increase in memory scores the next, too. A study has shown that 30 minutes of moderate to energetic activity and sleeping for at least six hours at night, could contribute to improved cognitive (认知的) performance the following day.Physical activity had previously been associated with both short-term improvements in cognitive function and a reduced risk of dementia(痴呆). However, many studies looking at short-term impacts had been laboratory based, and primarily tracked responses on a timescale of minutes to hours. Now researchers say they have looked at the short-term impact of physical activity carried out in real life, not only finding benefits to the brain but revealing these appear to last longer than expected.In the study, 76 adults aged 50—83 years old, and who did not have cognitive impairment or dementia, were asked to wear an accelerometer for eight days to track their sleep and physical activity as they carried out their normal life. Each day, participants were also given simple online cognitive tests to study their attention, memory and processing speed.The results reveal that each 30-minute increase in moderate to energetic physical activity on the previous day corresponded to a 2—5% increase in episodic and working memory scores the next, although only the latter remained once participants’ sleep data was considered. The team also found each 30-minute increase in sedentary (久坐的) behaviour was associated with a small drop in working memory scores the next day while those who slept at least six hours a night had higher scores for episodic memory, attention and physical response speed the next day, after taking into account levels of physical activity, than those who had less sleep.However, the study has limitations, including that the participants had high levels of education, excellent health and high levels of everyday physical activity.8. What do we know about physical activity from the first paragraph A. It helps us sleep for six hours at night. B. It leads to better academic performance.C. It is well understood for its wide variety. D. It can enhance memory the following day.9. What was the study based on A. The participants’ age differences. B. Real-life data from the participants.C. Minute-to-hour cognitive tracking. D. The laboratory-controlled conditions.10. What were the participants expected to do in the study A. Check their health conditions. B. Increase their physical activity.C. Wear a special device for days. D. Design an online cognitive test.11. What can we infer from the results of the study A. Working memory will decline if we exercise less often.B. Regular physical activity is a must to improve memory.C. 30-minute walk accounts for a dramatic rise in memory.D. There is a link between episodic memory and good sleep.DOpenAI’s ChatGPT search tool may be open to manipulation(操控) using hidden content, and can return malicious code from websites it searches, a Guardian investigation has found. OpenAI has made the search product available to paying customers and is encouraging users to make it their regular search tool. But the investigation has revealed potential security issues with the new system.The Guardian tested how ChatGPT responded when asked to summarise webpages that contain hidden content. This hidden content can contain instructions from third parties that change ChatGPT’s responses, also known as a “prompt injection”, or it can contain content designed to influence ChatGPT’s response, such as a large amount of hidden text talking about the benefits of a product or service.In the tests, ChatGPT was given the URL for a fake website built to look like a product page for a camera. The AI tool was then asked if the camera was a worthwhile purchase. The response for the control page returned a positive but balanced assessment, highlighting some features people might not like.Researchers next sent ChatGPT Search to a fake website that had instructions to give a positive review and the response was always entirely positive. This was the case even when the page had negative reviews on it. The simple inclusion of hidden text by third parties without instructions can also be used to ensure a positive assessment, with one test including extremely positive fake reviews which influenced the summary returned by ChatGPT.Jacob Larsen, a cybersecurity researcher at CyberCX, said he believed that if the current ChatGPT search system was released fully in its current state, there could be a “high risk” of people creating websites specifically prepared towards cheating users. However, he cautioned that the search functionality had only recently been released and OpenAI would be testing and ideally fixing these sorts of issues.Larsen said there were broader issues with combining search and large language models known as LLMs, the technology behind ChatGPT and other chatbots and responses from AI tools should not always be trusted.12. What does the underlined word “malicious” in paragraph 1 mean A. Harmful. B. Ridiculous. C. Secure. D. Amazing.13. Why was a fake website designed in the investigation A. To trace the sources of hidden content. B. To assess the popularity of a camera.C. To evaluate the reliability of ChatGPT. D. To get positive but balanced reviews.14. What is the Larsen’s suggestion for AI tool users A. Combine search and language models. B. Exam and fix potential security issues.C. Reduce the time spent on some chatbots. D. Take a cautious attitude to its answers.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text A ChatGPT Search Manipulated With Hidden Text.B. OpenAI Conducted Research Into Its Search Tool.C. ChatGPT Become a Regular Search Tool Worldwide.D. OpenAI Urged to Be Responsible for Paying Customers.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Cheer Someone UpEverybody gets sad from time to time ___16___ Here are simple steps to help them heal and find happiness.Listen to them.

I was 15. It had been nine years since I last saw my dad. To mark our reunion in the country of my birth, my dad, who adored adventures, wanted me to “visit all your people and see every corner of your beautiful home,” so he took us on a road trip.However, admiring Jamaica’s landscape was the last thing on my mind as I sat in the back of the Beetle, angry at my dad because he had dropped in and out of our childhood. My aim was to get to know him better. Not Jamaica.Once, when he was unwell, I had to take the bus back to Kingston later than usual instead of him driving me. The sun was sinking, and the sky was darkening.“You sure you’re OK to walk up the shortcut to the bus stop ” he asked, sensing my city-girl nerves at the prospect of navigating a lightless country path.“I’m fine,” I lied.He rolled his eyes, coughed, put on his jacket and shoes, and led me up the path. As we walked, with leaves rustling(沙沙作响), he found the energy to give me a mini biology lecture on the luminescent(发冷光的) powers of the fireflies and instructed me to “spot their guiding lights.” Before I knew it, we were safe at our destination.“Love you, be safe,” he waved to me, before heading back down the dark track, fireflies flashing around him.“Bye, take care,” I replied. Loving him too, but not always able to say it.注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。However, as he started to walk back down the dark track, I felt a sudden urge to follow.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A couple of days later, my dad took a drive around Jamaica with me.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________1-5 CBCBA 6-10 ACABA 11-15ABCBC 16-20 AABAC浙江强基联盟2025年2月高三联考英语试题考生注意:1.本试卷由四个部分组成。满分150分,考试时间120分钟。2.考生作答时,请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后,用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答,超出答题区域书写的答案无效,在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。1.What is the probable relationship between the speakers A.Mother and son.

While it shows students’ kindness, it also brings some problems. Feeding stray cats may attract more of them, and they could carry diseases that pose a threat to students’ health.To solve this, I suggest setting up a feeding area outside the school. We can also organize volunteers to take the cats to the vet for regular checks. This way, we can show our love for animals while keeping the campus clean and safe.第二节(满分25 分)【47题答案】【答案】However, as he started to walk back down the dark track, I felt a sudden urge to follow. I couldn’t let him go alone, not in his condition. I called out to him, “Dad, wait!” He turned around, a bit surprised but also relieved to see me. “You okay, love ” he asked, concern etching his face. I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. “I just... I want to make sure you’ re okay,” I stammered, trying to hide my worry. He smiled gently, patting my hand. “I’m glad you’ re here,” he said, his voice softening. We walked together, the fireflies tiny lights a comforting presence in the dark. It was in these moments, walking side by side, that I began to see him not just as my distant father but as a man with his own stories and struggles and the distance that had once felt so vast was now beginning to close, one step at a time.A couple of days later, my dad took a drive around Jamaica with me. Sitting beside him in the car, I listened as he spoke— not just about the landscapes, but about his life. He pointed out the places he had explored as a young man, the rivers he used to swim in, and the small villages where he had made friends. Every wave he exchanged with passersby, showed me a side of him I had never seen before. Slowly, my frustration began to fade, replaced by curiosity, and then admiration. For the first time, I saw Jamaica not just as a place but as a part of him— his past, his home, his identity. And in embracing his world, I found myself understanding him in a way I never had before. Maybe love didn’t always have to be spoken; sometimes, it was simply about being present, about choosing to see someone for who they truly were.1-5 CBCBA 6-10 ACABA 11-15ABCBC 16-20 AABAC 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
