Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
(2025·河北保定高二上期中)
In the past few decades,Ray Kurzweil has made more than 100 forecasts about the future,of which 86% have proven to be accurate.Among his famous predictions is his daring claim that by 2029,artificial intelligence (AI) will pass the Turing test and achieve human-level intelligence.Perhaps his most significant prediction is that the singularity(奇点) will be reached by 2045,marking the point at which human intelligence fully integrates with AI and significantly improves our mental capabilities.
Kurzweil’s positive view on the singularity stands in sharp opposition to the warnings from Stephen Hawking,and Bill Gates,who have voiced concerns about the potential risks of super intelligent AI.These figures fear that AI could become uncontrollable and threaten humanity’s survival.Kurzweil,however,sees AI not as an existential risk,but as a powerful tool for improving human abilities.He argues that AI won’t operate as an independent force but will function within a network designed to work alongside humans,improving rather than replacing our abilities.
Kurzweil supports his viewpoint with existing technologies,like brain implants used to treat Parkinson’s disease(帕金森病),suggesting that the integration process is already in progress.He envisions a future where,by the 2030s,individuals will connect their neocortex—the part of the brain responsible for advanced thinking—to the cloud,improving our memory,creativity,and problem-solving skills.
Looking ahead to 2045,Kurzweil believes that the singularity will further enable humanity to address complex global challenges and unlock new levels of intellectual and creative potential.Rather than viewing this transformation as a threat,Kurzweil considers it a valuable opportunity for human progress,as AI will empower individuals to meet their physical and intellectual needs.He argues that this will lead to a society characterized by remarkable growth and achievement.

B
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society suggests that Leonardo da Vinci was more experimental with his well-known “Mona Lisa” than previously thought and was likely the creator of a technique seen in works used a century later.
A team of scientists in France and Britain has detected a rare mineral compound(矿物化合物),plumbonacrite,within the piece.Plumbonacrite forms when lead oxides(铅氧化物) combine with oil.Mixing these two substances is the technique that later artists like Rembrandt used to help the paint dry,according to the study.
Detecting the rare compound in the “Mona Lisa” suggested that Leonardo could have been the original user of this approach,said Gilles Wallez,an author of the study.“Everything that comes from Leonardo is very interesting,because he had lots of ideas,and he was an experimenter,attempting to improve the knowledge of his time,” Wallez said.“Each time you discovered something in his processes,you discovered that he was clearly ahead of his time.”
The “Mona Lisa”,like many other paintings from the 16th century,was created on a piece of wood that required a thick base layer.The researchers believed that Leonardo had made his mixture of lead oxide powder with linseed oil to produce the thick coat of paint needed for the first layer,while unknowingly creating the rare compound.
Nowadays,researchers aren’t allowed to take samples from the masterpiece,which resides at the Louvre in Paris and is protected behind glass.Using a microsample that had been taken from an area of the artwork just behind the frame,however,scientists were able to analyze the paint by using a high-tech machine.“These samples have a very high cultural value,” Wallez said.“You can’t afford to take big samples on a painting.”
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文,一项研究表明,达·芬奇在创作著名的《蒙娜丽莎》时,比人们之前认为的更具实验性,而且很可能是一个世纪后的作品中使用的一种技巧的创造者。
5.Why is Rembrandt mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To show his unique talent for painting.
B.To explain how he used the technique correctly.
C.To stress what made him different from other painters.
D.To show the technique was useful for drying the paint.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Mixing these two substances is the technique that later artists like Rembrandt used to help the paint dry,according to the study.”可知,作者提及Rembrandt是为了表明这种技巧,即把铅氧化物与油混合在一起使用,能让颜料变干。故选D。
6.What did Wallez think of Leonardo da Vinci
A.Independent. B.Strict.
C.Pioneering. D.Friendly.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘Everything that comes from Leonardo is very interesting,because he had lots of ideas,and he was an experimenter,attempting to improve the knowledge of his time,’Wallez said.‘Each time you discovered something in his processes,you discovered that he was clearly ahead of his time.’”可推断,Wallez认为达·芬奇对于他所在的时代具有开拓性、先驱性。故选C。
7.How did researchers think Leonardo da Vinci created the rare compound
A.By accident.
B.With other painters’ help.
C.By reading many books.
D.Through various attempts.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The researchers believed that Leonardo had made his mixture of lead oxide powder with linseed oil to produce the thick coat of paint needed for the first layer,while unknowingly creating the rare compound.”可知,研究人员认为达·芬奇是偶然地创造了这种罕见的化合物。故选A。
8.What can be learned about the “Mona Lisa” from the last paragraph
A.It didn’t contain plumbonacrite.
B.Analyzing its paint is invaluable but costly.
C.It was created in the 17th century.
D.Taking its samples is an easy task now.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“...scientists were able to analyze the paint by using a high-tech machine.‘These samples have a very high cultural value,’Wallez said.‘You can’t afford to take big samples on a painting.’”可推断,分析《蒙娜丽莎》这幅画的颜料是有价值的,但代价很高。故选B。
