In December, the intense cold turns dripping water into ice within seconds. Yet, 63-year-old Ren Jianguo gets up early before 5 am every morning to sprinkle (撒) 150 kilograms of corn on the river banks to make sure thousands of migratory birds have enough energy to make it through the winter. Over the past 26 years, Ren has been one of many volunteers protecting migratory birds on Changbai Island, where local residents label him as “Uncle Bird”.

For Ren himself, a cottage near the riverbank has almost become his “second home”, a place from which he can observe the dynamics of the birds, provide help for injured birds, educate the public about bird conservation and, after a long day of work, light a fire and enjoy a warm meal. Winter is the busiest time for Uncle Bird. When the harsh season makes it difficult for birds to find

food, he calls for donations or sometimes even pays for the food himself to guarantee their survival during the winter. “I simply want this to be a warm and welcoming place for birds when they choose to stay here for a temporary rest,” he said.

A report in 2021 shows that many migratory birds have changed their habit of just passing through China as they head to the Pacific Ocean or South Asia for the winter. Instead, more and more are choosing to spend winter within China’s wetlands. However, when Ren settled in the city in the 1990s, only hundreds of migratory birds would come every winter. Since then, China has stepped up protection of wetlands and nature reserves by introducing new regulations and high technology.

“Thirty years ago, it was impossible to see more than 8,000 birds together in the urban area. But now, thousands of the birds attract an increasing number of tourists every year. As long as they choose to stay in this city, there should be people to take care of them. However tough it is, I will stick to my choice and try to raise public awareness,” Ren said.

4. Why is winter the busiest time for Mr. Ren?

A. He has to receive more tourists.

B. He must treat more injured birds.

C. He needs to feed more migratory birds.

D. He is more engaged in observing birds.

5. What causes the change in the birds’ migrating habit according to the text?

A. Long distance.

B. High technology.

C. Food shortage.

D. Improved environment.

6. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Migratory Birds Boost Tourism

B. “Uncle Bird” Devoted to Bird Protection

C. Great Achievements in Wildlife Protection

D. Environmental Impacts on Bird Migration

〖答案〗4. C 5. D 6. B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了63岁的任建国十几年如一日地保护和喂养候鸟，为其创造了温暖宜居的自然环境的故事。

【4题详析】

推理判断题。根据第二段第二句第三句“Winter is the busiest time for Uncle Bird. When the harsh season makes it difficult for birds to find food, he calls for donations or sometimes even pays

for the food himself to guarantee their survival during the winter.”（冬天是鸟叔叔最忙的时候。当严酷的季节使鸟类难以找到食物时，他会呼吁捐款，有时甚至自己掏钱购买食物，以保证它们在冬天的生存。）可知，冬季鸟类食物短缺，他需要喂养更多的鸟类。故选C项。

【5题详析】

细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Since then, China has stepped up protection of wetlands and nature reserves by introducing new regulations and high technology.”（从那时起，中国通过引入新法规和高科技加强了湿地和自然保护区的保护。）可知，越来越多的候鸟呆在中国的湿地过冬是因为中国改善的自然环境。故选D项。

【6题详析】

主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Over the past 26 years, Ren has been one of many volunteers protecting migratory birds on Changbai Island, where local residents label him as “Uncle Bird”.”（在过去的26年里，任建国一直是长白岛保护候鸟的众多志愿者之一，当地居民称他为“鸟叔叔”。）及下文对任建国保护候鸟的具体描述可知，本文主要介绍了他致力于保护候鸟的行为。故选B项。

Do you know that it only takes an algorithm (算法) to turn you into a Pablo Picasso? All you need to do is follow three simple steps: choose, provide and create. To be more specific, choose an AI Art Generator, provide the generator with your preferred requirement and hit the “create” button. Even ordinary people without any painting skills can do it well.

Chinese netizens have been amazed and amused by the results created by AI art generators. Some platforms providing AI painting services gained more than 600,000 users in a single day in November, with people aged 25 and under accounting for more than 60% of new users.

Jia Yunfan, a 26-year-old digital artist, has been embracing the novel AI movement. He said, “I was trained as an oil painter ever since I was young. But canvas (油画布) and the realistic style are just too classic and I used to be only defined as a painter. Newly emerged art forms like AI paintings can help artists reach global audiences and broaden their artistic field.” An illustrator Huang Ge from Shanghai said illustrators need time to create and they are expensive to hire, but with AI tools, hundreds of pictures can be generated every day.

However, the trend has again caused some panic about whether AI is gradually replacing human beings. “Art’s values lie not only in representation but also the artist’s mind and emotional

contributions. Yet this is lacking in AI art. The warmth and inspiration in human’s creations are irreplaceable,” Ding Daoshi, an analyst said.

A more urgent issue is that there is no consensus of the ownership of AI art. Some users have openly sold some AI paintings and have earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even the AI itself.

Ding noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted regulations as soon as possible because AI is already sticking deeply into every aspect of the lives of human beings.

(以下是A种题型)

7. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The development of AI paintings.

B. The classification of AI artworks.

C. The popularity of digital paintings.

D. The procedure in creating AI artworks.

8. Why does Jia Y unfan welcome the new AI trend?

A. It promotes his art career.

B. It reduces his cost in creation.

C. It maintains his painting style.

D. It improves his work efficiency.

9. What does the underlined word “consensus” mean in paragraph 5?

A. Complaint.

B. Result.

C. Agreement.

D. Discussion.

10. What problem remains to be solved in the future?

A. Who owns the copyright of AI art.

B. What to do to ensure the quality of AI artworks.

C. How to tell human’s creations from AI paintings.

D. Whether AI paintings can replace traditional paintings.

(以下是B种题型)

11. How do people create AI artworks?

_________________________________________________________________

12. Who are the major new users of the AI painting services?

_________________________________________________________________

13. What can’t be replaced by AI art according to Ding Daoshi?

_________________________________________________________________

14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

_________________________________________________________________

〖答案〗7. D 8. A 9. C 10. A

11. By following three simple steps: choose, provide and create.

12. People aged 25 and under.

13. The warmth and inspiration in human’s creations.

14. Different opinions on the ownership of AI art.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AI艺术作品的创作过程、人们对于AI艺术品的不同观点以及针对AI艺术品所需要解决的问题。

【7题详析】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do you know that it only takes an algorithm (算法) to turn you into a Pablo Picasso? All you need to do is follow three simple steps: choose, provide and create. To be more specific, choose an AI Art Generator, provide the generator with your preferred requirement and hit the ‘create’ button. Even ordinary people without any painting skills can do it well.(你知道只需要一个算法就能把你变成巴勃罗·毕加索吗？您所需要做的就是遵循三个简单的步骤：选择、提供和创建。更具体地说，选择一个AI艺术生成器，向生成器提供您的首选要求，然后点击‘创建’按钮。即使是没有任何绘画技巧的普通人也能做得很好。)”可知，此段阐述如何用算法生成绘画，选择一个AI艺术生成器，向生成器提供您的首选要求，然后点击‘创建’按钮，就可以完成；由此可知，第一段主要阐述了AI艺术作品的创作步骤。故选D。

【8题详析】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Jia Yunfan, a 26-year-old digital artist, has been embracing the novel AI movement. He said, ‘I was trained as an oil painter ever since I was young. But canvas (油画布) and the realistic style are just too classic and I used to be only defined as a painter. Newly emerged art forms like AI paintings can help artists reach global audiences and broaden their artistic field.’(26岁的数字艺术家贾云帆一直欣然接受这种新颖的人工智能运动。他说：‘我从小就被训练成一名油画画家。但油画布和现实主义的风格太经典了，我过去只被定义为一个画家。AI绘画等新出现的艺术形式可以帮助艺术家接触全球观众，拓宽他们的艺术领域。’)”可知，

贾云帆欢迎这种新的AI趋势，他认为这种新趋势促进他的艺术事业的发展。故选A。

【9题详析】

词义猜测题。根据第五段划线词consensus下一句“Some users have openly sold some AI paintings and have earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even the AI itself.(一些用户公开出售了一些人工智能绘画并赚了钱，但这些艺术作品是否属于用户、数字工具开发者甚至人工智能本身，仍然是一个灰色地带。)”可知，对于人工智能绘画艺术作品是属于用户、数字工具开发者还是属于人工智能本身，意见不一致，由此可知，划线词所在句“A more urgent issue is that there is no consensus of the ownership of AI art.(一个更紧迫的问题是，人工智能艺术品的所有权还没有consensus。)”阐述的是针对人工智能艺术作品的所有权问题人们意见不一致，consensus与agreement同义，意为“一致的意见，共识”。故选C。

【10题详析】

推理判断题。根据第五段“A more urgent issue is that there is no consensus of the ownership of AI art. Some users have openly sold some AI paintings and have earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even the AI itself.(一个更紧迫的问题是，对人工智能艺术的所有权没有达成共识。一些用户公开出售了一些人工智能绘画，并赚了钱，但这些艺术品是否属于用户、数字工具开发人员甚至人工智能本身，仍然是一个灰色地带。)”以及最后一段“Ding noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted regulations as soon as possible because AI is already sticking deeply into every aspect of the lives of human beings.(丁指出，各方应该聚在一起讨论这个问题，并尽快制定一些公认的法规，因为人工智能已经深入到人类生活的方方面面。)”可知，未来应解决人工智能艺术品的所有权问题。故选A。

【11题详析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“All you need to do is follow three simple steps: choose, provide and create.(您所需要做的只是遵循三个简单的步骤：选择、提供和创建。)”可知，人们创造人工智能艺术仅需要遵循三个步骤：选择、提供和创建。故〖答案〗为：By following three simple steps: choose, provide and create.

60% of new users.(11月，一些提供AI绘画服务的平台单日新增用户超过60万，25岁及以下的用户占新用户的60%以上。)”可知，人工智能绘画服务的新用户主要是年龄在25岁以及25岁以下的用户。故〖答案〗为：People aged 25 and under.

【13题详析】

细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘Art’s values lie not only in representation but also the artist’s mind and emotional contributions. Yet this is lacking in AI art. The warmth and inspiration in human’s creations are irreplaceable,’ Ding Daoshi, an analyst said.(‘艺术的价值不仅在于表现形式，还在于艺术家的思想和情感贡献。然而这在人工智能艺术中是缺乏的。人类作品中的温暖和灵感是不可替代的，’分析师丁道石说。)”可知，丁道石认为人类作品中的温暖和灵感是人工智能艺术不能替代的。故〖答案〗为：The warmth and inspiration in human’s creations.

【14题详析】

主旨大意题。根据第五段“A more urgent issue is that there is no consensus of the ownership of AI art. Some users have openly sold some AI paintings and have earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even the AI itself.(一个更紧迫的问题是，对人工智能艺术的所有权没有共识。一些用户公开出售了一些人工智能绘画，并赚了钱，但这些艺术品是否属于用户、数字工具开发人员甚至人工智能本身，仍然是一个灰色地带。)”可知此段主要阐述了人们对于人工智能艺术作品的所有权没有达成共识，意见不一致。故〖答案〗为Different opinions on the ownership of AI art.

One day, when I was reading, I received a call from the principal (校长) of my high school to invite me to give a talk as a representative of alumni association (校友会). He asked me to speak to the group the next morning. I felt so honored to have got such an opportunity and immediately replied yes. But after the call, I became nervous and panicky.

The whole night, I polished my speech again and again, and practiced before a mirror until I could deliver the speech fluently. Even though I had made full preparations, I could not sleep with great anxiety. What if words failed me and didn’t attract audience at all? What if I forgot the words in the middle of the speech?... I was hesitating to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage to go. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”

Anyway, I reached the school on time. Before giving the talk, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. I just managed to finish the speech in a low voice. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking Anxiety.

注意：

1. 词数应为120左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Around one month later, I was invited to give another speech. __________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________〖答案〗After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. Instead of blaming me, he comforted me warmly. He told me that this happened to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He encouraged me to practice more and not

to give up. And he even suggested that I come again next time. With his encouragement, I made up my mind to overcome the problem of public speaking anxiety. I was greatly convinced that I could do better next time.

Around one month later, I was invited to give another speech. After a month of practice, this time I was feeling comfortable and confident. It turned out that my speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged me and praised my efforts, which made me very happy. After delivering it successfully, I became more confident. I was grateful to this opportunity because it made me realize that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.

太原五中2022-2021学年度第一学期阶段性检测 高二英语 出题：李红勤李星玲校对：高二外语组（2022.12） I. 阅读理解(共30分) 第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A On a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, a dog showed up at the house. In an attempt to find the legal owner and return the dog, we knocked on the door of the legal owner and an old man opened the door. This was the start of an interesting week. The old man sat down, made himself at home, and gifted us the dog. After a brief visit, he left, and we were now the proud owners of this dog. It takes experience and knowledge to know that our lifestyle can’t satisfy the needs of this dog; the owner that gifted us the dog was mismatched for him as well. Three attempts to return the dog to his old owner failed. (I think he was avoiding us.) Because our lifestyle didn’t allow us to give this poor dog the attention he needed, he disturbed the neighbors. They got involved. After we shared the story, they gained a new perspective and wisely stepped in to help us find a solution. One week later it was decided that dog would be picked up from us by the old neighbor. He would then return it to the previous owner who was more equipped to care for it. When faced with unexpected challenges in life, it helps to see everyone’s perspective. We have to look at one another’s perspective to solve a problem with honesty, experience and knowledge. That’s the sign of a leader. Although the old neighbor typically has little to do with leadership, it did bring a neighborhood together to understand one another and work as a team to solve a problem. 1. Why was the dog taken to the author’s home? A. To find food to eat. B. To seek a proper owner. C. The author was friendly to him. D. The old man couldn’t feed him. 2. What did the author find after he was gifted with the dog? A. He didn’t like the dog at all. B. He could deal with dog easily. C. The old neighbor was cheating him. D. It was unsuitable for him to keep the dog. 3. What does the author intend to stress in the text? A. The value of team spirit. B. The smartness of the old neighbor. C. The importance of leadership skills. D. The need for calmness in front of challenges. B I was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown-up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic. Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives. It seems that there is a set formula in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in the real life？” Movies are also imitating the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make-believe. For quite a long time, I think that the adults’ world is realistic in the opposite way of the children’s cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made-up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult’s fairy tales or cartoons. To sum up, other than false comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly. 4. With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that_____. A．they give him hope of justice and tomorrow in life B．they are for adult and that he is now an adult C．they help him forget the real world D．they are similar to cartoons he used to watch 5．Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions? A．The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all. B．The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems. C．Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies. D．The audience know they are simply foolish stories. 6．The underlined word “make-believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means_____. A．something imagined to be real B．something too ideal to believe C．a happy ending all the audience desire D．a belief that is based on facts 7．According to the author, which of the following is the side effect of the movies? A．People may be confused by them. B．Movies can usually improve real life. C．Film fans just follow the movie stories. D．False comfort may mislead the audience. C Tulips(郁金香) are the national flower of Iran and Turkey. The European name for the flower is a misuse of the Persian word for turban(头巾), a mistake probably arising in the common Turkish custom of wearing flowers in the folds of the turban. Alternatively, the misuse may have arisen because this eastern flower, when not yet in full bloom,
