In class,we learn how to use AI tools to turn abstract ideas into vivid posters, visual designs and even original pieces ofmusic. What I find most impressive is its blend of imagination and technology, which makes artistic creation farmore innovative and engaging.Through this course, I have not only sharpened my creative skills but also gained a deeper understanding ofhow technology is reshaping art. Does your school offer similar courses I’d love to hear about them.Yours,Li Hua【参考范文】As the bittern took off, Corinne and Ashley watched in awe. With its broad wings outstretched, the birdglided gracefully over the wetland before vanishing into the tall grass. The sight was so striking that Corinne’sfrustration dissolved. The contest, she suddenly realized, was never meant to be about beating each other, but aboutgetting people excited about birding. Turning to Ashley, Corinne praised her photo as amazing. Ashley smiled andsaid Corinne’s recording mattered just as much. At that moment, a thought came to Corinne: since Ashley had thephoto and she had the sound, why not present the sighting together in the next video chat Ashley agreedimmediately, and they spent the next few days workinWhen Wednesday’s video chat began, both girls were ready to give the special presentation. Corinnepressed play, and the bittern’s call rang out through the speakers. Meanwhile, Ashley’s clear photo appeared on thescreen. The girls could hear surprised exclamations and see students leaning closer to their cameras. Together, theydescribed how they had tracked the bird. Corinne felt a quiet satisfaction: the rare sighting had done exactly whatthe contest was meant to do —— it had made more people notice birds and care about them. By the end of thepresentation, Corinne knew she had gained thing far better than extra points: a new friend, and a deeper love forbirding.听力原文Text 1M: How’s your dish W: It’s burning my tongue.

A seasoned volunteer, he has been singing in care homes since he was six.Ted’s charm has won over many in the audience, particularly the older ladies.But it’s not for everyone. Jeanette Hodes, 92, offers an impatient “come on, get on with it,” and leans back inher chair. On a nearby trolley a cat’s cradle (翻花绳) has caught her eye. The string is quickly brought over to her.Soon enough she is transported to the playground of her youth, offering cheerfully — recalled anecdotes fromwhen she learnt double dutch with friends as her mother could not afford to buy her a Sindy doll.Looking on fondly is Jill Fraser, 68, the founder of Kissing it Better (KiB), a charity working to reduceisolation in the elderly through intergenerational friendships. Fraser is making her way around the room with atrolley of assorted old treasures. A faded Beatrix Potter hardback, Jackie magazine and biography of LordMountbatten are piled on top of one another. Fraser’s team of volunteers prepared the items as recollection isthought to be a powerful tool for striking up much — needed conversation in the elderly.Anna Giannotti, 63, an art psychotherapist who is paid for a few hours a week by KiB, says, “Sometimes theelderly are hesitant to get involved, but often when they do get involved, they just become their complete selves. Ifeel very humbled. It could be any of us in the future.”The youngest volunteer of the day, Mariella Hafalla, 16, finds the frankness of the older generation refreshing.“I really enjoyed the session where we talked about what the residents did when they were younger,” she says. “Ifound out how people used to go outside all of the time but now we are all online so it has helped me realize theimportance of going outside.”24. What brings Jeanette Hodes back to her youth A. Buying a Sindy doll. B. Learning double dutch.C. Listening to Ted’s songs. D. Playing with a cat’s cradle.25. Why does Fraser go around the room with the trolley A. To offer topics that may encourage interaction.B. To check whether the elderly can recall the past.C. To collect personal belongings from the residents.D. To show volunteers how to interact with old people.26. What is Anna Giannotti’s attitude towards the elderly A. Curious. B. Grateful. C. Empathetic. D. Protective.27. Which phrase most closely reflects KiB’s approach A. Activity over talk. B. Memory as a bridge.C. Service with a smile. D. Care through exercise.CAn ant species has evolved a remarkable solution to the danger of excess carbon dioxide inside their nests,which may hold clues to how humans can store greenhouse gases to prevent climate disaster.Fungus — farming (种植真菌) ants collect vegetation to feed cultivated fungi grown inside their colonies. Inturn, the fungi serve as their primary food source. The high density of ants and fungi can result in highconcentrations of CO2 inside the nests.In 2020, Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin — Madison and his colleagues found thatAcromyrmex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour (外壳). The ants do this througha symbiotic (共生的) relationship with Pseudonocardia bacteria, which transform CO2 into rock using chemicalprocesses that aren’t yet properly understood.Now, the team has discovered that another fungus — farming ant, Sericomyrmex amabilis, which is found inCentral and South America, can do the same thing without symbiotic bacteria, becoming the first known animal tohave evolved this ability.Remarkably, the mineral they make is dolomite. Dolomite rocks, such as those in Italy’s Dolomite mountains,normally take millions of years and complex geological processes to form. Yet the ants do this quickly andeffortlessly, without high temperatures, says team member Hongjie Li at Zhejiang University in China.Dolomite consists of calcium, magnesium and carbonate. Forming it in the lab is difficult because magnesiumdoesn’t easily fit into the calcium carbonate structure, which slows down crystal formation, says Currie. To try toovercome this, he says, scientists use high temperatures and pressures. The next phase of the team’s research willtry to find out how ants are able to accomplish this.In an effort to counteract global warming, scientists are exploring techniques for converting atmospheric CO2into carbonate minerals, essentially turning carbon into stone. “These ants are the first animal shown to be engagingin such a process, offering exciting potential as a model for human efforts,” says Currie.28. What can we learn about the fungus — farming ants’ nest A. It stays open to outside air.B. It contains a high level of CO2.C. It is too unstable for ants to survive.D. It provides little room for fungal growth.29. What makes Sericomyrmex amabilis different from Acromyrmex echinatior in mineral formation A. A wider geographic range. B. Involvement of a new fungus.C. A fully understood mechanism. D. Independence from bacterial help.30. Which word best describes dolomite formation in nature A. Simple. B. Risky. C. Time — consuming.D. Pressure — dependent.31. How is the text mainly organized A. Problem → solutions → outcome. B. Claim → counterclaim → resolution.C. Definition → classification → summary. D. Discovery → explanation → implications.DIt’s Sunday evening and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without trulymoving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time withfamily, and kept up with, your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivityexperts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time.Consistency has its place. But there’s another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic (催化的)power of intense productivity bursts. It’s this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key.Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. Butneuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity.Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skillsand knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25,000streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, theydiscovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges.This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience. Transformation often requires crossingintensity levels that moderate effort simply can’t reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks verydifferent than the slow, consistent gains we’re more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intensefocus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self— monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries betweenself and task dissolve.Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance.Maybe it’s time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what theyare: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful.32. What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate A. Unrealistic goals can lead to failure.B. Constant failures may cause frustration.C. Multitasking can not enhance productivity.D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress.33. What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 4 probably mean A. Repairable. B. Adaptable. C. Delicate. D. Analytical34. What happens during “transient hypofrontality” A. You let down your guard. B. You exercise more self — regulation.C. You feel at one with the task. D. You experience a state of confusion.35. What is a suitable title for the text A. Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits B. The Key to Transformation: ConsistencyC. How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth D. Maintenance Mode: A Common Productivity Trap第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining mayrelease toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. 36 But I still had noclear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer andcheaper. 37 Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could Ibrush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.38 Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. Theresults showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated witha potential risk of adverse health effects.I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In thekitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another pointWoodruff made stuck in my head. 39So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers forso many hours. 40 What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects aroundthem seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most Icould do, too.A. I threw out obvious offenders.B. We depend heavily on plastics.C. I wanted to make life safer for my children:D. I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives.E. Children are among those most at risk from plastics.F. One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.G. Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分 30 分)第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。One morning, I woke up feeling as if I were in a fog.

Overnight trains, sunrise hikes, and fivescenic spots before lunch 56 (regard) as badges (勋章) of honor.

Every Wednesday, the two classes met on video chats to shareupdates on their progress.Two weeks ago, Corinne had scored extra points for the City Birders by winning a birdsong competitionagainst a Burb Birder named Ashley. This weekend, she visited Fielder Park, which lay on the border between thecity and the suburbs, hoping to come across something new. Twenty minutes later, however, she still hadn’t spottedanything rare. As she walked on, an unusual call caught her attention. Uh wonka — chonk, uh wonka — chonk...Corinne’s heart pounded. She knew at once it was an American bittern (麻鸠). Holding up her phone, Corinnerecorded the bird’s distinctive call while silently hoping to get lucky with a sighting.“Hey, I know that call!” a voice whispered. Corinne turned to find Ashley tiptoeing closer. By then, the birdhad already fallen silent, and Corinne stopped the recording. For a second, an awkwardness hung between them. Asif to break it, Ashley stretched up her neck and mimicked (模仿) the American bittern. Corinne couldn’t helplaughing. Now both intent on finding the bird, the two girls scanned the wetland again. Suddenly Corinne noticedmovement in the tall grass. “Uh, Ashley, I think I know where he is.” She pointed. “Over there.”Ashley slowly raised the camera just as the bittern stepped out into a gap in the grass. Corinne snapped aphoto with her phone, but the bird’s natural camouflage (伪装术) made it hardly recognizable. “Look!” Ashley said,showing the clear picture she’d captured. "I wouldn’t have known where to look without you." Corinne chewed herlip. Great. More points for the Burb Birders.注意:1.写作词数应为 150 个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。As the bittern took off, Corinne and Ashley watched in awe.When Wednesday’s video chat began. both girls were ready to give the special presentation. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 重庆市巴蜀中学校2026届高三4月高考适应性月考卷(八)英语答案.docx 重庆市巴蜀中学校2026届高三4月高考适应性月考卷(八)英语试卷(不含音频).docx
