Growing up in Wyoming she was well aware of the lack of health careresources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. Shes worked throughout hercareer to change that.In Wyoming, theres a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancerspecialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if its 120 miles from whereyou live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG)an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patientsby increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.She said, “One of the really important things is, were trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get toevery single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southernWyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go toDenver or Salt Lake City a three-to-seven-hour drive.Monicas efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also includehelping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them witha regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technologys progress like better cell phone and internetservice in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with lovedones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes tocontinue.“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access tocare.”24. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most?A. Better housing. B. Medical treatment. C. Further education.D. Public transportation.25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?A. By training medical professionals.B. By advocating financial aid.D. By offering clinical trials.C. By improving internet service.226. Which of the following can best describe Monica?A. Determined and loyal.B. Honest and generous.C. Dedicated and responsible.7. What is a suitable title for the text?A. A helper for cancer patientsC. A pioneer for cancer treatmentD. Grateful and courageous.B. A push for progressD. A hope for cancer patientsCSomewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime isroughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts(闪电).Heres what you shouldexpect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightningstrikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even betorn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 . Blood vessels(血管)高三年级英语试卷第 3 页 共 8 页 exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This isa pattern of scars(伤疤)that branches out across your body like a tree.But it doesnt end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological(神经系统的)conditions forreasons that scientists still dont fully understand. Its also possible that you will suffer from pain.In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University ofMiami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightningdeveloped an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head sincethe strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-timeflooding of the brain with neurotransmitters(神经递质)that are released from the dying neurons(神经元). Thiscauses a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.Cool as it would be, you shouldnt count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of itsresults are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.22338. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts.B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700.C. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.9. What happened to the surgeon after the strike?A. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain.C. His unexplored brain areas were activated.B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death.D. He recalled hidden memories about music.0. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5?A. The flooding of brains neurotransmitters.B.The cell death due to lightning strikes.C. The rewiring of brain neurons.1. What is the text mainly about?D. The release of dying neurons.A. The process of lightning formation.C. The possibility of lightning making a genius.B. The consequences of being struck by lightning.D. The chances of surviving a lightning strike.DAn early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability toaccurately represent the text promptsome users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. Whilea year later, text-to-video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.If youve ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, youll see that text-to-video tools workin a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fish tank”, and the tool creates a videobased on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makesuse of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everythingin the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAIs Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refineimages by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw goldmultiple times in order to remove all its flaws（瑕疵）.One of the remarkable things about OpenAIs Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. Whenthe project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long whilemaintaining visual quality and adherence（遵守）to the users prompt.”But there are constraints to Soras capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of howobjects interact in the videos doesnt always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together,transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarrespaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably wont last long.Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools like invideo AI, a product that wascreated with marketing, content creation and education in mind. Its perfect for creating online tutorials,高三年级英语试卷第 4 页 共 8 页 “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.32. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. Text-to-video AI has improved significantly over the past year.B. ModelScope can correctly analyse text to the users.C. Text-to-video AI received negative feedback eventually.D. ModelScope was widely praised.3333. How can OpenAIs Sora improve images?A. By recognizing the objects around.C. By creating content in various styles.B. By removing inappropriate visual patches.D. By working in the same way as ModelScope4. What message does the last paragraph convey about invideo AI?A. It may fall out of use.B. It will take ages to see the future result.C. It may increase daily expenses.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The limitations of OpenAIs Sora.C. A great leap for creative AI.D. It will be highly profitable.B. The functions of various AI tools.D. A demonstration of making a video.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。An essential writing skill is the ability to use plain language effectively to convey ideas clearly. Plainlanguage involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure. To write in plainlanguage, it is important to follow certain guidelines.36The only details necessary are those necessary for understanding. For example, the sign “Waitbehind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand.Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you cancomfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues.37But when speaking with someone withoutan IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what youre talking about.Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.38For example, use clear headers for each section. Mention the to
