On a stormy night in November, the small coastal town of Windermere was enveloped in darkness. The lighthouse, standing tall on the rough cliffs, had been the town’s guardian for over a century. But tonight, its light shone weakly, as if struggling against the howling wind.
Old Captain Harris, now retired, sat by his fireplace, listening to the radio warnings of an approaching hurricane. His wrinkled hands trembled as he recalled the night thirty years ago when he had nearly lost his ship to these dangerous waters. Back then, the lighthouse’s light had guided him to safety. Now, with the keeper, Mr. Thompson, entrusted by the town mayor, bed-ridden with fever, the lighthouse stood unmanned.
Determined, Captain Harris grabbed his raincoat and lantern. “Someone has to keep the light burning,” he whispered. The journey to the lighthouse was challenging — the narrow path was slippery with rain, and the wind threatened to throw him off balance. Yet, step by step, he pressed on.
Inside the tower, the machinery groaned (呻吟) under the storm’s attack. Captain Harris climbed the spiraling (螺旋式的) stairs, he was out of breath. At the top, he adjusted the lens and refueled the lamp. As the light steadied, a distant ship’s horn echoed through the night — a cargo ship fighting the waves.
Hours later, when the storm finally passed, the townsfolk found Captain Harris fell down heavily against the lighthouse wall, exhausted but smiling. The cargo ship’s captain later sent a letter of gratitude, crediting the precious light for saving his crew.
That winter, Captain Harris passed away peacefully in his sleep. The town set up a plaque (匾) in his honor, carved with his final words: “A light is only as strong as the hands that keep it alive.”
4. What was the condition of the lighthouse when the storm hit
A. It was brightly lit and fully operational.
B. Its light was functioning unusually.
C. It had been abandoned for years.
D. It was being repaired by the townsfolk.
5. Why did Captain Harris decide to go to the lighthouse
A. He wanted to check on Mr. Thompson.
B. He remembered how the lighthouse had once saved him.
C. He was ordered by the town mayor.
D. He was curious about the storm’s damage.
6. What can be inferred about Captain Harris’s character
A. Careless and adventurous. B. Selfish and cautious.
C. Courageous and selfless. D. Indifferent and determined.
7. What is the most likely reason that the cargo ship’s horn was included in the story
A. To emphasize the danger of the storm.
B. To show his efforts were meaningful.
C. To introduce a new character.
D. To create a sense of mystery.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. B
C
In the modern era, technological progress has revolutionized every aspect of human life, from communication to healthcare. Innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and automation have streamlined industries, enhancing efficiency and productivity. However, this rapid advancement has also introduced unforeseen challenges, including job displacement and moral dilemmas. While technology promises convenience, its unchecked growth raises concerns about privacy and human dependency. Society must strike a balance between embracing innovation and alleviating its unfavorable effects to ensure sustainable development.
One significant consequence of technological advancement is the transformation of the job market. Automation and AI have made many traditional roles out of date, forcing workers to adapt or face unemployment. Economists argue that while new jobs survive, the transition period can be tumultuous, intensifying income inequality. Governments and corporations must invest in retraining programs to equip the workforce with future-ready skills. Without active measures, the digital divide could deepen, leaving disadvantaged populations further marginalized (边缘化的).
Another pressing issue is the moral implications of AI decision-making. Algorithms now influence critical areas such as hiring, lending, and law enforcement (执行) yet their biases (偏见) remain a debatable topic. Studies reveal that AI systems can maintain discrimination if trained on flawed data. Policymakers must strengthen fairness and accountability in AI development to prevent systemic injustices. The debate over whether machines should make morally complex decisions continues to divide experts and the public alike.
Despite these challenges, technology has undeniably improved global connectivity. Social media platforms enable instant communication across continents, fostering cultural exchange and cooperation. Yet, this interconnectedness has also increased misinformation and cyberbullying, highlighting the dual-edged (双刃的) nature of digital tools. Striking a balance between open access and responsible usage remains a key challenge for regulators and users.
8. What can be inferred about the future job market from the passage
A. Workers may need continuous skill upgrades.
B. All traditional jobs will disappear within a decade.
C. Governments will ban automation to protect workers.
D. Income inequality will decrease as technology advances.
9. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “tumultuous” in paragraph 2
A. Messy and unstable. B. Peaceful and smooth
C. Highly profitable. D. Predictable and controlled.
10. Based on the passage, what is the author’s attitude on AI decision-making
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Restricting Technology: A Fix to Unemployment.
B. Rejecting Innovations: Preservation of Traditional Values.
C. Technology: The Coexistence of Benefits and Challenges.
D. Artificial Intelligence: A Cure-all Pill for Humans.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C
D
In an era where digital connectivity has reached unexceptional levels, a paradoxical (矛盾的) phenomenon has emerged: the more technologically interconnected society becomes, the more socially isolated (孤立的) individuals feel. Studies indicate that despite the expansion of social media platforms, messaging apps, and virtual communication tools, loneliness and mental health issues are on the rise.
The coming of smartphones and social media was initially praised as a breakthrough in human interaction, promising to bridge geographical divides and foster global communities. However, research from the University of Chicago suggests that excessive screen time correlates with increased feelings of loneliness and depression. Virtual interactions, while convenient, often lack the depth and emotional empathy of face-to-face communication. Neuroscientists argue that non-verbal cues—such as body language, tone of voice, and eye contact — are essential for meaningful human connection, yet these elements are largely absent in digital exchanges.
Furthermore, the “attention economy” worsens the problem. Social media algorithms prioritize engagement over well-being, often promoting sensationalist (哗众取宠) or divisive content to maximize user storage. This creates an environment where individuals consume vast amounts of superficial interactions without forming genuine relationships. A 2023 study published in Nature Human Behaviour found that frequent social media users reported lower life satisfaction, even when controlling for other variables.
Some experts advocate for a “digital detox” movement, encouraging individuals to limit screen time and prioritize in-person interactions. However, critics argue that technology itself is not the root cause of isolation but rather how it is used. They suggest that digital tools, if designed with psychological well-being in mind, could enhance rather than decrease human connection.
12. What is the main paradox discussed in the passage
A. Technology improves efficiency but reduces productivity.
B. Social media unites people but decreases political extremes.
C Digital connectivity increases but human isolation grows.
D. Virtual communication enhances more emotional bonds.
13. According to the University of Chicago research, what is a consequence of excessive screen time
A. Improved multitasking abilities.
B. Greater financial productivity.
C. Enhanced long-term memory storage.
D. A lack of in-depth communication.
14. Why do neuroscientists argue that digital interactions may lack depth
A. Because they dismiss non-verbal cues for emotional connection.
B. Because they are too slow compared to in-person conversations.
C. Because they rely too heavily on written language.
D. Because they are less available to older generations.
15. What solution do critics of the “digital detox” movement propose
A. Abandoning digital communication tools.
B. Encouraging longer screen time to build familiarity.
C. Combining technology with mental health care.
D. Revising government regulation of social media platforms.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kelly didn’t really know why or how it had started, but a mean rumor (谣言) had been spreading throughout the school. Kids whispered it when she walked down the halls, others laughed and pointed fingers and some had started writing notes in the classroom.
The rumor was that, “Kelly only gets good grades because she cheats in the exams.”
But that was, 100 percent, not true. Kelly studied hard, really hard. She spent a lot of time after school studying. She cared about her studies. She even missed friends’ birthday parties to study. She always answered questions in class, always finished her homework on time, and never missed any classes. Sometimes, she was really tired from trying so hard. And in life, she always tried to be nice to everyone, and now this Why
In science class, the students were put into teams to carry out an experiment. Kelly was put with Sophie. She wasn’t happy about this as Sophie had been mean to her since Kelly missed her birthday party to study a few weeks ago. In fact, Kelly thought that maybe Sophie was the one who had started the rumors in the first place. But she knew the science experiment was important so she thought it was best just to get on with it.
They worked on in silence until Sophie said, “Are you going to find a way to cheat on this too ” “I don’t cheat,” replied Kelly, upset.
“Sure you don’t. You just want to be the best, right That’s all you care about.”
“I care about lots of things!” Kelly said.
“You don’t care about anyone,” said Sophie. All you care about is being the best. That’s why you cheat!”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
She couldn’t believe that Sophie was being so unfair.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They continued working on the experiment, and slowly, a sense of cooperation began to develop.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
She couldn’t believe that Sophie was being so unfair. Kelly froze with shock, as if rooted to the ground. She bit her lower lip to keep it from trembling as tears ran down her cheeks. In a low voice, she said, “I have never cheated, Sophie. Are you mad at me for my missing your birthday party If yes, I sincerely apologize. But ...” Kelly paused, reaching into her pocket and pulling out an exquisite birthday card. “I was planning to give it to you after class.” A wave of guilt swept over Sophie as she realized her mistake. “I’m sorry for what I said. Now, shall we get on with the experiment ” she said. Kelly stopped sobbing and nodded.
They continued working on the experiment, and slowly, a sense of cooperation began to develop. Sophie seemed to always know what Kelly needed, even without Kelly saying anything. With their combined efforts, the experiment was a breeze and they did a great job. The science teacher praised them, and their eyes twinkled with pleasure. After that, Kelly no longer heard the mean rumors about her when she walked down the halls. Additionally, her friendship with Sophie was stronger than before. Conflicts and misunderstandings in friendships are unavoidable. What truly matters is showing our friends that we really care about them.
Possible version 2:
She couldn’t believe that Sophie was being so unfair. A wave of grievance welled up in her heart. Under no circumstances had she expected her friend Sophie to say such hurtful words. Tears filled her eyes. She bit her lip, lowered her head and said, “I owe you an apology for overlooking your birthday party invitation because of my own reasons. I have never cheated and I hope you know that.” Seeing Kelly crying and hearing her apology, Sophie was lost in thought for a while and didn’t say a word. Given that the experiment was important to them, they agreed to temporarily set their past conflicts aside and focus on the task at hand.
They continued working on the experiment, and slowly, a sense of cooperation began to develop. The previously silent and unbearable atmosphere faded away, replaced by harmonious and friendly communication. They shared their ideas and corrected each other’s errors. Before long, they completed the experiment smoothly through their joint efforts. The ice in their hearts slowly melted away. After school, they walked home together. The setting sun cast a warm glow over the world, witnessing the flower of friendship blooming once more. To maintain a friendship, it’s important to care for one another, cherish each other’s presence, and show a willingness to nurture the bond.湖北省“腾·云”联盟2024—2025学年度下学期5月联考高二英语试卷

On a stormy night in November, the small coastal town of Windermere was enveloped in darkness. The lighthouse, standing tall on the rough cliffs, had been the town’s guardian for over a century. But tonight, its light shone weakly, as if struggling against the howling wind.
Old Captain Harris, now retired, sat by his fireplace, listening to the radio warnings of an approaching hurricane. His wrinkled hands trembled as he recalled the night thirty years ago when he had nearly lost his ship to these dangerous waters. Back then, the lighthouse’s light had guided him to safety. Now, with the keeper, Mr. Thompson, entrusted by the town mayor, bed-ridden with fever, the lighthouse stood unmanned.
Determined, Captain Harris grabbed his raincoat and lantern. “Someone has to keep the light burning,” he whispered. The journey to the lighthouse was challenging — the narrow path was slippery with rain, and the wind threatened to throw him off balance. Yet, step by step, he pressed on.
Inside the tower, the machinery groaned (呻吟) under the storm’s attack. Captain Harris climbed the spiraling (螺旋式的) stairs, he was out of breath. At the top, he adjusted the lens and refueled the lamp. As the light steadied, a distant ship’s horn echoed through the night — a cargo ship fighting the waves.
Hours later, when the storm finally passed, the townsfolk found Captain Harris fell down heavily against the lighthouse wall, exhausted but smiling. The cargo ship’s captain later sent a letter of gratitude, crediting the precious light for saving his crew.
That winter, Captain Harris passed away peacefully in his sleep. The town set up a plaque (匾) in his honor, carved with his final words: “A light is only as strong as the hands that keep it alive.”
4. What was the condition of the lighthouse when the storm hit
A. It was brightly lit and fully operational.
B. Its light was functioning unusually.
C. It had been abandoned for years.
D. It was being repaired by the townsfolk.
5. Why did Captain Harris decide to go to the lighthouse
A. He wanted to check on Mr. Thompson.
B. He remembered how the lighthouse had once saved him.
C. He was ordered by the town mayor.
D. He was curious about the storm’s damage.
6. What can be inferred about Captain Harris’s character
A. Careless and adventurous. B. Selfish and cautious.
C. Courageous and selfless. D. Indifferent and determined.
7. What is the most likely reason that the cargo ship’s horn was included in the story

C
In the modern era, technological progress has revolutionized every aspect of human life, from communication to healthcare. Innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and automation have streamlined industries, enhancing efficiency and productivity. However, this rapid advancement has also introduced unforeseen challenges, including job displacement and moral dilemmas. While technology promises convenience, its unchecked growth raises concerns about privacy and human dependency. Society must strike a balance between embracing innovation and alleviating its unfavorable effects to ensure sustainable development.
One significant consequence of technological advancement is the transformation of the job market. Automation and AI have made many traditional roles out of date, forcing workers to adapt or face unemployment. Economists argue that while new jobs survive, the transition period can be tumultuous, intensifying income inequality. Governments and corporations must invest in retraining programs to equip the workforce with future-ready skills. Without active measures, the digital divide could deepen, leaving disadvantaged populations further marginalized (边缘化的).
Another pressing issue is the moral implications of AI decision-making. Algorithms now influence critical areas such as hiring, lending, and law enforcement (执行) yet their biases (偏见) remain a debatable topic. Studies reveal that AI systems can maintain discrimination if trained on flawed data. Policymakers must strengthen fairness and accountability in AI development to prevent systemic injustices. The debate over whether machines should make morally complex decisions continues to divide experts and the public alike.
Despite these challenges, technology has undeniably improved global connectivity. Social media platforms enable instant communication across continents, fostering cultural exchange and cooperation. Yet, this interconnectedness has also increased misinformation and cyberbullying, highlighting the dual-edged (双刃的) nature of digital tools. Striking a balance between open access and responsible usage remains a key challenge for regulators and users.
8. What can be inferred about the future job market from the passage
A. Workers may need continuous skill upgrades.
B. All traditional jobs will disappear within a decade.
C. Governments will ban automation to protect workers.
D. Income inequality will decrease as technology advances.
9. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “tumultuous” in paragraph 2
A. Messy and unstable. B. Peaceful and smooth
C. Highly profitable. D. Predictable and controlled.
10. Based on the passage, what is the author’s attitude on AI decision-making
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Restricting Technology: A Fix to Unemployment.
B. Rejecting Innovations: Preservation of Traditional Values.
C. Technology: The Coexistence of Benefits and Challenges.
D. Artificial Intelligence: A Cure-all Pill for Humans.
D
In an era where digital connectivity has reached unexceptional levels, a paradoxical (矛盾的) phenomenon has emerged: the more technologically interconnected society becomes, the more socially isolated (孤立的) individuals feel. Studies indicate that despite the expansion of social media platforms, messaging apps, and virtual communication tools, loneliness and mental health issues are on the rise.
The coming of smartphones and social media was initially praised as a breakthrough in human interaction, promising to bridge geographical divides and foster global communities. However, research from the University of Chicago suggests that excessive screen time correlates with increased feelings of loneliness and depression. Virtual interactions, while convenient, often lack the depth and emotional empathy of face-to-face communication. Neuroscientists argue that non-verbal cues—such as body language, tone of voice, and eye contact — are essential for meaningful human connection, yet these elements are largely absent in digital exchanges.
Furthermore, the “attention economy” worsens the problem. Social media algorithms prioritize engagement over well-being, often promoting sensationalist (哗众取宠) or divisive content to maximize user storage. This creates an environment where individuals consume vast amounts of superficial interactions without forming genuine relationships. A 2023 study published in Nature Human Behaviour found that frequent social media users reported lower life satisfaction, even when controlling for other variables.
Some experts advocate for a “digital detox” movement, encouraging individuals to limit screen time and prioritize in-person interactions. However, critics argue that technology itself is not the root cause of isolation but rather how it is used. They suggest that digital tools, if designed with psychological well-being in mind, could enhance rather than decrease human connection.
12. What is the main paradox discussed in the passage
A. Technology improves efficiency but reduces productivity.
B. Social media unites people but decreases political extremes.
C Digital connectivity increases but human isolation grows.
D. Virtual communication enhances more emotional bonds.
13. According to the University of Chicago research, what is a consequence of excessive screen time
A. Improved multitasking abilities.
B. Greater financial productivity.
C. Enhanced long-term memory storage.
D. A lack of in-depth communication.
14. Why do neuroscientists argue that digital interactions may lack depth
A. Because they dismiss non-verbal cues for emotional connection.
B. Because they are too slow compared to in-person conversations.
C. Because they rely too heavily on written language.
D. Because they are less available to older generations.
15. What solution do critics of the “digital detox” movement propose
A. Abandoning digital communication tools.
B. Encouraging longer screen time to build familiarity.
C. Combining technology with mental health care.
D. Revising government regulation of social media platforms.

Kelly didn’t really know why or how it had started, but a mean rumor (谣言) had been spreading throughout the school. Kids whispered it when she walked down the halls, others laughed and pointed fingers and some had started writing notes in the classroom.
The rumor was that, “Kelly only gets good grades because she cheats in the exams.”
But that was, 100 percent, not true. Kelly studied hard, really hard. She spent a lot of time after school studying. She cared about her studies. She even missed friends’ birthday parties to study. She always answered questions in class, always finished her homework on time, and never missed any classes. Sometimes, she was really tired from trying so hard. And in life, she always tried to be nice to everyone, and now this Why
In science class, the students were put into teams to carry out an experiment. Kelly was put with Sophie. She wasn’t happy about this as Sophie had been mean to her since Kelly missed her birthday party to study a few weeks ago. In fact, Kelly thought that maybe Sophie was the one who had started the rumors in the first place. But she knew the science experiment was important so she thought it was best just to get on with it.
They worked on in silence until Sophie said, “Are you going to find a way to cheat on this too ” “I don’t cheat,” replied Kelly, upset.
“Sure you don’t. You just want to be the best, right That’s all you care about.”
“I care about lots of things!” Kelly said.
“You don’t care about anyone,” said Sophie. All you care about is being the best. That’s why you cheat!”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
She couldn’t believe that Sophie was being so unfair.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They continued working on the experiment, and slowly, a sense of cooperation began to develop.
