A [2025·河南信阳高一期末]
New England holds some special museums. They are devoted largely or entirely to the work of just one person. And they are the artists’ birthplaces or one-time homes. Here are four examples of such museums.
Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861—1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. A good example is his “Appeal to the Great Spirit” standing in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington for the final four decades of his life. The museum is in the Jefferson Cutter House, an 1830 Greek styled building.
Norman Rockwell Museum
Rockwell (1894—1978) was America’s well-known artist. The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present location, Robert A.M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell’s artworks.
Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (折扣)
Edward Gorey House
Edward Gorey (1925—2000) was an artist, but he was also an author and clothes designer. Gorey bought this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there for the rest of his life. Edward Gorey House is also known as the Elephant House. Gorey had respect for animals. The activities of the house, from art education to exhibits, show Gorey’s support of animal well-being.
Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum
Gilbert Stuart (1755—1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist. His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait (画像) on the dollar. Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits throughout his life.
(　)21.What do we know about Cyrus E. Dallin
A.He built the Jefferson Cutter House.
B.He lived in Arlington for half a century.
C.He was best known for his Greek styled sculptures.
D.He created famous works related to Native Americans.
(　)22.How much will an old couple pay to enter Norman Rockwell Museum
A.$36. 　　　B.$40. 　　　C.$60. 　　　D.$72.

B [2025·辽宁省五校联考高一期末]
A few years ago, we bought a model Lego set of the Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time as our lives grew busier.
Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to plan our line of attack. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with accuracy in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction booklet. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts coming to fruition, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the coloured tiles (地砖) on the building’s floor, our conversation took a turn too.
We were struck by the similarities and differences between Lego blocks and life. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction booklet. We realized the booklet itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was retrace our steps and start again.
Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and action and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead.
Here, we were the architects doing assembling. But out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to move on, trusting both in the process and the end result.
Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Like the now dusty model, life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we live it.
(　)24.Which of the following best describes the author’s experience of building the Lego set
A.Simple and boring.
B.Creative and enjoyable.
C.Complex and rewarding.
D.Challenging and frustrating.
(　)25.What does the underlined word “assembling” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Putting up. B.Winding up.
C.Tearing up. D.Picking up.
(　)26.How does the author suggest we handle uncertainty in life
A.By seeking guidance from others.
B.By avoiding making any decisions.
C.By focusing on immediate outcomes.
D.By moving forward with confidence.
(　)27.What does the completed Lego model symbolize for the author
A.The joy of family bonding.
B.The journey of living one’s life.
C.The value of hard work in life.
D.The achievement of life goals.
C [2025·河北石家庄二中高一期末]
Animals, including humans, feel sound as well as hear it, and some of the most meaningful communication happens at frequencies (频率) that people can’t hear. Elephants, for example, use these low-frequency sounds to, among other things, find family or a mate across long distances. Whales do it, too.
But you don’t have to weigh a ton to make a sound. In fact, you don’t have to be bigger than a pea. Consider, for example, the treehopper, a curious little animal that lives on the stems (茎) of the leaves. University of Missouri biologist Rex Cocroft has spent much of his time listening closely to treehoppers with his team.
The team discovers that all the sounds being heard from treehoppers are produced by males. They do it by vibrating (振动) their abdomens (腹部) to make a wide variety of strange sounds. There is almost no airborne sound produced with these vibrational sounds. Cocroft explained, “If a treehopper were to stand on your finger and produce a sound, you would feel the vibration but hear no sound.”
They showed that some sounds, not surprisingly, seem to be aimed at attracting females. And some are aimed at other males.
Cocroft explained, “When two males meet each other, or when they are mate-searching on a branch, we’re hearing ‘purring, bdddddrrrr’ sounds that males give.” Normally, a person couldn’t hear any of this, because the sound travels along the stem, inside it. And that’s how other treehoppers detect it.
Cocroft said treehoppers have very sensitive legs. And they stand around on stems, which are good at spreading vibrations. So they just use what nature gives them to communicate with each other.
“They have so many different forms of social behaviour and grouping,” Cocroft explained. “And once there are animals living in groups, then there will be all sorts of interesting possibilities for communication.”
(　)28.What does Cocroft’s research focus on about treehoppers
A.Their variety.
B.Their communication.
C.Their living areas.
D.Their numbers.
(　)29.What can we know about treehoppers
A.They sense sounds by legs.
B.They knock the stems to make sounds.
C.Their sounds can be easily heard by humans.
D.Females make sounds to meet each other.
(　)30.What does Cocroft say about animals’ living in groups
A.It is key to their survival.
B.It drives an increase in their numbers.
C.It often leads to communication.
D.It contributes much to the division of animal types.
(　)31.What is the best title for the text
A.A magic moment in nature
B.A journey to the wildlife
C.Learning from nature
D.Communication sounds among animals
D [2025·广东深圳高一期末]
An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities, researchers found in a primary study.
Developed by the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.
Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to put in electrodes (电极). This new approach “could provide a possible path to help patients with communication problems, avoiding the use of surgeries,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher. King and his colleagues trained a computational tool, also known as a language model, to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The team applied an AI with this language model to databases from four institutions, which included brain activity from 169 volunteers. In these databases, participants listened to various stories and sentences, while the people’s brains were scanned by magnetoencephalography (MEG) (脑磁图).
Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. Using MEG, the correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses, the researchers found.
“The new study is the decoding of speech recognition, not production,” King agrees. “Though speech production is the final goal, for now, we’re quite a long way away.”
(　)32.Whom might the AI benefit
A.People unable to read.
B.People who are unconscious.
C.People who can’t move around.
D.People unable to communicate normally.
(　)33.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4
A.The purpose of the AI.
B.The significance of the AI.
C.The advantage of the AI.
D.The working principle of the AI.
(　)34.What does the AI require to make its prediction
A.Speech production.
B.Top ten guesses.
C.Patterns of brain activity.
D.Disabled volunteers.
(　)35.What is the best title for the text
A.A new way to decode speech
B.The employment of MEG technology
C.An advance in artificial intelligence
D.A solution to communication problems

What does life purpose mean and, more importantly, how does one find and achieve it It has been a long journey getting to this point, and here are some tips for finding your life purpose.
Play to your strength.
We are not capable of being all things to all people. 36.　　　　 Develop your natural talents into skills by studying, exercising and practising those talents. There is nothing wrong with trying to learn new things, but the likelihood is that you were born with the abilities needed to fulfil your life purpose.
Pursue (追求) your passions.
37.　　　　 In order to live your life purpose, you must become completely immersed (沉浸) in whatever it is, which means it must be something you are passionate about. Otherwise, you will be meant to do something that finally makes you painful and resentful (愤慨的), in which case it will be impossible to perform at the highest level.
38.　　　
If there is one lesson that has been lived repeatedly in our life, it is that there is only one thing you can control: yourself. No matter how hard you try, you absolutely cannot control the results of your actions. All that we can do in life is put forth our best efforts. 39.　　　
Embrace your creativity.
We are all able to produce something that is both original and of value to the world. 40.　　　　 We are not talking about being artistic, which is one form of creativity. We are talking about tapping into the unique lens(镜头) through which you view the world and the value your perspective can add. Of course, when you focus on developing your talents and immerse yourself in what you are passionate about, creativity comes easily.
A.Do what makes you happy.
B.Focus on what you can control.
C.You were born with certain natural talents and abilities—use them.
D.Those two elements—originality and value—make up the definition of creativity.
E.For whatever reason, we all feel passionate about certain things in life.
F.Living your life purpose will undoubtedly bring you joy and a sense of personal achievement.
G.That means developing your mind, body and spirit to achieve your greatest potential and always acting with the best of intentions.

A fish on the baseball field
My parents always hoped I’d play baseball. You would be amazed at how much they loved baseball. They actually met in line to buy hot dogs at a baseball game. Also, my dad was the star pitcher (投球手) on his high school team, which happened to go all the way to the state championship!
You might think that with a family history like that, baseball would just be in my blood and I’d be naturally talented at it. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong. When I was little, my dad got me a plastic bat and ball and a mini catcher’s mitt (棒球手套). I could throw OK, but no matter how much I tried, I could not catch or hit a ball at all!
Last year, my friend Ollie was super excited to join a baseball team. Then my parents decided baseball would be the best thing for me, too. Before I could say “Thanks, but no thanks”, they had signed me up!
Don’t get me wrong. The experience wasn’t terrible. Our coach was nice and the kids were great. Even though I never became good at baseball, I did improve. But the very best part of the whole experience—the silver-lining part—was something completely unexpected.
After every baseball practice, Ollie’s grandmother would take us to the community pool on the way home. Ollie was more interested in playing in the pool than swimming. I, on the other hand, could not get enough of swimming.
Ollie usually ended up leaving the water to hang out with his grandmother while I stayed in for a few more minutes with a girl named Isabel, a member of the swim team. We often challenged each other to see who could hold her breath underwater longer or who could get to the other side of the pool faster.
One day, Isabel said, “You are a natural little fish. Do you want to join our swim team ” She looked at me with expectation.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
I was hesitant (犹豫的).


Paragraph 2:
When I arrived home, I nervously told my parents about the swim team.

【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了和父亲一起搭建泰姬陵乐高模型的经历,并由此引发对生活的思考。乐高模型有明确的说明书,但生活没有,尽管它充满不确定性,我们也要带着信心前行。
24. C　推理判断题。根据第二段“We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with accuracy in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction booklet. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts coming to fruition, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the coloured tiles (地砖) on the building’s floor, our conversation took a turn too.”可知,搭建乐高模型这个过程是复杂的;同时搭建的建筑物在“我们”眼前逐渐升起,“我们”能看到努力正在结出果实,即这个过程也是有收获的。因此C项“Complex and rewarding.”形容这个过程最合适。故选C项。
25. A　词义猜测题。根据第五段“Here, we were the architects doing…But out in the world, we were the ones being assembled.”可知,此处提到了建筑师和组装,由此推断assembling应该是“搭建,组装”的意思,与putting up意义相同。故选A项。
26. D　细节理解题。根据第五段“In the face of uncertainty, we have to move on, trusting both in the process and the end result.”可知,作者建议我们带着信心向前来应对生活中的不确定性。故选D项。
27. B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Like the now dusty model, life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we live it.”可知,作者认为看见完成的乐高模型,让作者想起生活是慢慢构建的,有错误,有不确定性因素,生活本身不在于我们物质上创造或留下的东西,而在于我们如何度过它。据此推知,对作者来说完成的乐高模型象征着人生之旅。故选B项。

【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。本文以角蝉为例,详细地说明了动物间交流的声音。
28.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中“University of Missouri biologist Rex Cocroft has spent much of his time listening closely to treehoppers with his team.” (密苏里大学的生物学家Rex Cocroft和他的团队花了很多时间密切关注角蝉。)和倒数第二段“Cocroft said treehoppers have very sensitive legs. And they stand around on stems, which are good at spreading vibrations. So they just use what nature gives them to communicate with each other.” (Cocroft说,角蝉的腿非常敏感。它们站在茎上,茎善于传播振动。所以它们只是用大自然赋予它们的东西来相互交流。)可推断,Cocroft主要研究角蝉间的交流,故选B。
29.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Cocroft said treehoppers have very sensitive legs. And they stand around on stems, which are good at spreading vibrations. So they just use what nature gives them to communicate with each other.” (Cocroft说,角蝉的腿非常敏感。它们站在茎上,茎善于传播振动。所以它们只是用大自然赋予它们的东西来相互交流。)可知,角蝉通过腿感知声音,故选A。
30.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘They have so many different forms of social behaviour and grouping,’ Cocroft explained. ‘And once there are animals living in groups, then there will be all sorts of interesting possibilities for communication.’”可知,动物的群居有利于它们的交流,故选C。
31.D　主旨大意题。根据全文内容,并结合第一段中“Animals, including humans, feel sound as well as hear it, and some of the most meaningful communication happens at frequencies (频率) that people can’t hear.”可知,本文以角蝉为例,详细地说明了动物间交流的声音,故选D。

32.D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Developed by the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.”(Facebook的母公司Meta开发的人工智能最终可能被用于帮助全球数千名无法通过言语、打字或用手势进行交流的人。)可知,无法正常交流的人可能从人工智能中受益。故选D。
33.D　段落大意题。根据文章第四段“Then with the help of a computational method that helps account for physical differences among actual brains, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities.”(然后,在一种有助于解释实际大脑之间物理差异的计算方法的帮助下,研究小组试图通过每个人三秒钟的大脑活动数据来解码参与者所听到的内容。该团队指示人工智能将故事录音中的语音与人工智能计算出的与人们听到的内容相对应的大脑活动模式相匹配。然后,它根据1000多种可能性,预测这个人在短时间内可能听到的内容。)可知,本段主要讲述了人工智能的工作原理。故选D。
34.C　细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The team instructed the AI to match up the speech sounds from the story recordings with patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing.”(该团队指示人工智能将故事录音中的语音与人工智能计算出的与人们听到的内容相对应的大脑活动模式进行匹配。)可知,人工智能需要大脑活动模式才能做出预测。故选C。
35.A　主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段的“An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard.”(人工智能可以以惊人的准确性从大脑活动中解码单词和句子。只需要几秒钟的大脑活动数据,人工智能就能猜测出一个人听到了什么。)和第二段的“Developed by the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world who are unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures.”可知,本文主要讲的是人工智能可以以惊人的准确性从大脑活动中解码语言,最终有望帮助世界各地成千上万无法通过言语、打字或用手势进行交流的人,因此最合适的题目是A选项“A new way to decode speech”(语言解码的新方法),故选A。

One possible version:
Hi Max,
I’m delighted to hear about your upcoming visit to China! I know you have a great passion for Chinese cuisine, and I can’t wait to introduce you to some amazing dishes.
One food I highly recommend is Peking Duck. The combination of crispy skin, tender meat, fresh vegetables, and the sweet-salty sauce makes Peking Duck hard to resist, especially when they are wrapped in thin pancakes. It’s a true taste of China.
Be sure to give it a try when you pay a visit, and you will fall in love with every bite. I can’t wait to share this experience with you!
Yours,
Li Hua

【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者的父母希望作者从事棒球运动,但是作者在这方面并没有天赋。作者在和游泳队的伊莎贝尔相处的过程中,发现自己喜爱游泳,想加入游泳队。犹豫再三,作者还是选择和父母坦白,得到了父母的支持。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我很犹豫。”可知,第一段可描写作者内心的犹豫和挣扎。
②由第二段首句内容“回到家后,我紧张地把游泳队的事告诉了父母。”可知,第二段可描写作者选择和父母坦白后,得到了父母的支持。
2.续写线索:犹豫—担心—得到建议—坦白—得到支持—作者感悟。
One possible version:
I was hesitant(犹豫的). Baseball had always been the family tradition, the sport my parents had envisioned for me since I was little, so the thought of disappointing them felt unbearable. Also, they had already invested so much time and money into my baseball training, and wouldn’t be happy to see me switch to something different. Yet, deep down, I knew swimming was a better fit for me. Isabel, seeing my struggle between sticking with baseball and pursuing my newfound passion, suggested I have an honest conversation with my parents.
When I arrived home, I nervously told my parents about the swim team. “Swimming ” they repeated, astonished. There was a long pause. “But…baseball and I were never a good match. Swimming just feels natural to me!” I explained. To my surprise, my dad nodded thoughtfully and said, “Actually, I used to swim a little back in college.” My mother inquired in detail about the swim team and the practices. At the end of the conversation, they became supportive, and even proud of my decision. Feeling a huge weight lifted from my shoulders, I couldn’t wait to dive into this new adventure.
