Jim Johnson was a mail carrier in the leafy Westmoreland, Westhaven and Westover
Hills neighborhoods, just north of downtown Wilmington, where he delivered much more
than the mail. He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he
took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young
boys the art of the curveball. When he wasn’t doing all that, Jim was running across a
checkerboard of green lawns (草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its
daily promise.
Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives
on. In many communities, that trust is won every day when life-saving medicine, greeting
cards, social security checks, college acceptance letters-even the bills-appear in mailboxes in
front of the houses.
After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any
other. He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the
day. Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day
before. And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off. On the
route, Jim and Butch had become inseparable. Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off
to retirement together. At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that
had become his own. There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.
It’s been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond
established between community and letter carrier. That’s what the postal service means to us.
24. What do we know about Jim Johnson from the first paragraph
A. He’s open-minded.
B. He’s sharp-eyed.
C. He’s warm-hearted.
D. He’s strong-willed.
25. What does the underlined word “disparaged” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. refused. B. criticized. C. praised. D. honoured.
26. What did Jim do besides daily delivery on his final days of work
A. He drove Butch to its owner.
B. He sent presents to his friends.
C. He prepared a retirement party.
D. He said goodbye to the neighbors.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To remember a respected mail carrier.
B. To record an unforgettable experience.
C. To raise funds for the postal service.
D. To call for harmony in the community.

An art exhibition that combines scientific knowledge with creative inspiration was
recently presented in Albany. The exhibition featured artworks from MIX Artists in the Great
Southern that showcased unique art-science cooperation between contemporary artists and
marine(海洋的) scientists working in the region. The waters of the south coast and around
Albany are well-known for their unique diversity of plants and animals, and the works
conveyed important marine science knowledge and current research to a broad audience.
The Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI) provided opportunities for
the artists to learn from marine scientists through speeches, presentations and study tour. The
artists also followed up with ongoing self-research and observation of their environment.
Dr Jenny Shaw, WAMSI Research Director, said, “It’s been a great opportunity to move
science into the community and also see different interpretations of marine research topics.”
The scientists benefited from explaining their work to different audiences, and the interest
from the artists was incredibly high, contributing to a shared appreciation for the marine
environment.
MIX Artists coordinator Annette Davis said the cooperation gave the artists fantastic
insight into another world, and working with the scientists was fundamental to how the
artworks had developed. “Responding with intuition (直觉 ), curiosity and imagination, the
artists have interpreted their findings through chosen materials and techniques and created
artworks to help move this understanding into the wider community,” Davis said.
The pursuit of marine science inspired some artists, whose artworks often centre around
the finely-balanced coastal environment and the impact of structural change. Catherine
Higham used seagrass and bamboo to make a large listening horn (喇叭 ) to listen to
underwater life. Christine Baker’s work, titled Micro Plastic Menu, was inspired by a talk on
microplastic pollution and how it enters food chains.
28. How did WAMSI assist the artists
A. By aiding in materials creation.
B. By providing technical guidance.
C. By offering a platform for art sales.
D. By organizing educational events.
29. What can we infer from the text
A. The art exhibition of scientists is very eye-catching.
B. People are much more interested in science than in art.
C. The participation of artists contributes to the spread of marine knowledge.
D. Artists should go into the classroom to learn cultural knowledge.
30. Why is the work Micro Plastic Menu mentioned in the text
A. To highlight the personal experiences of the artist.
B. To illustrate that artists draw inspiration from science.
C. To demonstrate the use of technology in contemporary art.
D. To emphasize the role of art in environmental conservation.
31. Which is the best title for the text

A. An Art Exhibition by a Famous Marine Artist.
B. A Cooperative Art and Marine Science Exhibition.
C. An Exhibition Showcasing Traditional Art Forms.
D. A Conference Discussing Marine Science Advancements.

A quiet revolution is unfolding around us. Artificial intelligence (AI), once a science
fantasy, is now reshaping our daily lives. From voice assistants and movie recommendations
to medical diagnosis and self-driving vehicles, AI is everywhere. It represents a new age of
thinking machines that learn, adapt, and make decisions.
The heart of modern AI is machine learning, which allows computers to learn from data
rather than follow fixed instructions. Using neural(神经系统 ) networks inspired by the
human brain, AI systems recognize patterns and improve over time. This technology enables
impressive achievements such as language translation, image recognition, and even creative
tasks like composing music or generating art.
AI integrates smoothly into everyday life. It powers Internet search engines, social
media recommendations, GPS services, and smart home devices. In healthcare, it assists in
analyzing medical images, predicting diseases, and developing personalized treatments. AI
also helps find cheating in finance, upgrade delivery, and improve agricultural productivity
through smart farming techniques.
However, its growing influence brings both opportunities and challenges. In the
workplace, AI performs repetitive tasks on its own but also creates new roles in technology
and data analytics. It raises important concerns such as data privacy and the risk of misuse in
monitoring systems. Ensuring that AI is fair, accountable and matches human values remains
a critical task for researchers and policymakers.
Looking ahead, AI holds great promise for solving complex problems in science,
climate research, and education. It could speed up medical discoveries, help address
environmental issues, and provide personalized learning experiences for students. However,
its development must be guided by responsibility and global cooperation to ensure all of
humanity can benefit.
In conclusion, AI is not just a technological advancement — it is reshaping how we live,
work, and understand the world. With careful management, it can become a valuable partner
that boosts human capability and helps build a fairer and promising future for everyone.
32. How is the third paragraph developed
A. By giving examples. B. By providing data.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By defining a concept.
33. What effect does AI have in the workplace according to the text
A. It reduces new positions. B. It increases work difficulty.
C. It takes over repetitive tasks. D. It replaces data analysts.
34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
高二英语 第 6 页 共 10 页
A. AI will quickly solve environmental problems.
B. AI will cure most diseases with medical research.
C. Personalized learning reduces classroom interaction.
D. The proper development of AI requires united efforts.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Why AI needs human values. B. The daily applications of AI.
C. How AI is changing our world. D. The challenges of governing AI.

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。
Tina was a high school girl who loved comparing herself with others. She always cared
about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off
a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better.
Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what
she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a
barely perceived sense of emptiness.
At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s
Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple
clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After
school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead,
she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with
mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita
got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student”
in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls
began to gather around her.
One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book.
“Hi, Rita. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day You didn’t even have any friends.”
Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day
fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the
secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without
saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling,
replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought.
注意：
1. 续写词数总计为 100 词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Tina decided to make a change.
Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others.

Dear fellow students,
Our planet is facing severe environmental challenges — air pollution, plastic
waste and deforestation threaten ecosystems worldwide. And it’ s time to take
immediate action.
Here are my proposals: Firstly, reduce single-use plastics. Carry reusable bags
and bottles, which can cut plastic waste by 50%. Secondly, conserve energy. Turn off
lights when leaving rooms and choose public transport. If every student does this, our
carbon footprint will decrease significantly.
Every effort counts. Let’s join hands and make the Earth — our shared home a
greener place to live in.
Yours,
Li Hua

范文
The next day, Tina decided to make a change. She stopped asking her parents for expensive
things that she actually didn’t need. She even gave away some of her unused designer bags to
charity. After class, she no longer dived into discussions as she used to. Instead, she devoted
herself to academic subjects in the classroom, sometimes helping others who got stuck. What’s
more, she joined Rita, volunteering in the school library, sorting books and assisting younger
students. Every small act made her feel a sense of fulfillment she had never experienced before.
Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others.
Teachers and schoolmates admired her for being so kind and hard-working, let alone her greatly
improved grades. Her parents were not only proud of her academic performance, but were also
surprised to see her getting rid of unrealistic comparisons. Rita smiled sincerely at her, with her
thumb up. Tina was overflowing with happiness, hardly containing her excitement. It was then
that she truly understood that real happiness didn’t lie in what could be easily got from owning
better items, but in what was earned with great efforts and what was done for others.

M: I saw a ground-floor apartment with four bedrooms today.
W: Four bedrooms It sounds huge.
M: Yeah, it was. But it was quite cheap. And it was a nice place. A big living room
with big windows. And the furniture was modern.
W: Sounds great. Did you take it
M: Well, no. The place was shared. Three boys are looking for a fourth roommate.
They seemed nice enough, but the place was a mess. It’s a shame because the place is
not bad, quite close to school.
W: Don’t worry. Try to see more places tomorrow. Hopefully, one of them will be
alright. Or ask your classmates for more information.

W: Daniel Ash, your new book is a collection of articles about people with strange
jobs.
M: Yes, I collected stories about unusual jobs from all over the world.
W: So, you’re not talking about actors or shopping assistants
M: No, all the people in the book have very strange jobs.
W: I see. It’s organized into different industries. What about in the food industry
M: Well, when a company wants to advertise food, they sometimes need a food stylist.
Their job is to make food look good in advertisements.
W: I’ve never heard of that job before.
M: Well, there are only about 20 food stylists in Britain. For example, when we look
at a picture of strawberries and cream, we’re really looking at strawberries and white
paint.
W: Really
M: Yes, and they paint sausages with washing-up liquid, then coffee, to make them
look natural.
W: Then the cleaning industry. Isn’t cleaning a normal job
M: Normally, yes. But did you know there is a man in America called Brad Fields

M: Once again we’re holding our popular photography competition for children. It’s
open to all children between 8 and 12 who have an interest in photography. We’re not
looking for special technical skills — just the imagination to take a good picture. Last
year, the topic for our competition was wildlife and we received many excellent
photos. This year, we’d like your photos to be on the subject of the sea. This is the
only requirement. It doesn’t matter whether your photo is in color or black-and-white.
The size of the photos was limited to 17cm long and 12cm wide last year, but there’s
no limit on that this year. A team of professional photographers will judge the photos
and they’ll choose the four that they think show the most promise. The winner will
receive a camera, while the second prize will be free photography lessons. Those in
third and fourth place will receive a photography book. If you’re interested, we’d like
you to post your photos to us here at Star Radio, 24 Woodstock Square, London. Your
photos need to reach us by the 10th of August, so you have a few weeks before the
closing date. The results of the competition will be announced on this program on the
15th. There will be a chance to see all the photographs into the competition at an
exhibition at the museum. This will start on the 20th of August and stay open until
27th.
