I learned useful traveling tips and had an exciting time in a different culture. The first and most important thing I learned was to make sure to apply for a passport months in advance. I got mine right before I was scheduled to leave, because I waited until the last minute! Secondly, if you are flying, be sure to book a plane ticket far ahead of time so you can get a fair price. Thirdly, my another travel tip is to be sure you pack lightly. You will be taking that luggage around with you everywhere, and it gets heavy quickly! Last but not least, I had some great times exploring the local culture. I was trying all the new kinds of food and went to special cultural events, like special dance performances and street festivals. If you follow these tips, I think you’ll have an easy and rewarding experience!

Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a greatest impediment to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛).
Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. “My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument,” Anantawan said. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow.
A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination,” he said.
Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity.
Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provide accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability.
24. What does the underlined word “impediment” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Possibility. B. Barrier. C. Achievement. D. Regret.
25. Why did Anantawan’s family get in touch with the hospital?
A. To find a man-made hand for him.
B. To inspire him to learn to play the recorder.
C. To put forward suggestions on adapting a violin.
D. To add something extra to assist his right arm.
26. What does Anantawan think is the key to the disabled’s access to music?
A. Inclusive atmosphere. B. Fair competitions.
C. Enough resources. D. Lasting cooperation.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why Anantawan becomes active. B. Who Anantawan plays music with.
C. How Anantawan lives in his free time. D. What Anantawan contributes his time to.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了天生缺少右前臂的Anantawan如何克服困难成为音乐家的故事。

细节理解题。根据第四段“Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity. (虽然Anantawan对那些使他和其他残疾人士能够接触到音乐的技术感到非常感谢,但他认为最重要的是,教师、支持者以及那些鼓励年轻人或音乐家的人能够接受多样性,通过告诉他们可以做任何事情来支持他们的成长和发展。)”可知,Anantawan认为残疾人接触音乐的关键在于包容的氛围。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读最后一段,尤其是本段第一句“Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. (Anantawan正在努力为其他人提供这样的空间。)”可知,本段主要概述Anantawan花时间做的事。故选D。
C
Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail. With the coming of fuel-powered ships, however, the sail fell out of favor as a practical way to move large boats and ships across the ocean. Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions (碳排放) produced by the fuel-powered shipping industry.
Shipping is not an environmentally friendly industry. In fact, the industry is responsible for about three percent of global emissions. Luckily, the leading figures in the industry have made a commitment to become planet-warming gasses net zero by 2050. This is where the Pyxis Ocean comes in.
The Pyxis Ocean is a ship with two “WindWings”, which was designed by a British company. The ship made its first journey crossing the ocean from China to Brazil in 2023.
But the “WindWings” are not quite sails. Standing up to 37 meters tall, they are designed using the same type of aerodynamic (空气动力学的) principles that make it possible for an aircraft to fly. When not being used, the sails fold down onto the ship’s deck. It is estimated that the wings will save around 3 tons of fuel a day. That is a lot of fuel.
With new, cleaner fuels still in the works, these partial measures to reduce carbon emissions are a godsend. “Ultimately we do need zero-carbon fuels on all ships, but in the meantime, it is necessary to make every journey as efficient as possible,” Dr Simon Bullock, a shipping researcher, said.
Luckily, wind-powered technology is gaining recognition. About 100 out of every110,000 new-build ships are being built using some sort of wind technology. And that doesn’t take into account ships like the Pyxis Ocean which have been, or will be transformed with sails, kites, or other types of wind-powered mechanisms.
28. What does the comeback of the wind-powered technology indicate?
A. The whole world is faced with an energy crisis.
B. Sustainable development has become a global trend.
C. The solutions to modern problems may lie in the past.
D. The shipping industry is determined to turn away from fuels.
29. What is the main purpose of the “WindWings” on the Pyxis Ocean?
A. To reduce the ship’s carbon emissions. B. To provide entertainment for the sailors.
C. To serve as a backup power source. D. To increase the speed of the ship.
30. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Wind power is playing a major role in the shipping industry.
B. The wind-powered technology is reliable and promising.
C. Fuel-powered ships will soon be replaced by wind-powered ones.
D. Technology innovation is key to addressing environmental issues.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. New Ship Sailing into the Future B. Traditional Shipping Taking the Stage
C. The Pyxis Ocean: New Hope for the Earth D. “WindWings”: a Return to Ancient Shipping Wisdom
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了利用风帆辅助技术驱动的船舶重新得到认可,研究认为利用风帆辅助技术有助于减少航运业的碳排放量。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail. With the coming of fuel-powered ships, however, the sail fell out of favor as a practical way to move large boats and ships across the ocean. Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions (碳排放) produced by the fuel-powered shipping industry. (有时候要向前走就必须向后看。自古以来,人们就开始使用风力驱动的船只,自从帆被发明以来。然而,随着以燃料为动力的船舶的出现,作为一种推动大型船只穿越海洋的实用方式,帆不再受欢迎。现在,作为一种降低燃料动力航运业产生的碳排放的方式,帆船正在卷土重来。)”可推知,利用风帆辅助技术驱动的船舶重新回归大众视野表明,我们可以从过去的经验中找到解决方案。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It is estimated that the wings will save around 3 tons of fuel a day. That is a lot of fuel. (据估计,这种机翼每天将节省约3吨燃料。这是大量的燃料。)”可知,Pyxis Ocean上的“Wind Wings”的主要作用是减少船只的能源消耗,从而减少碳排放量。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Luckily, wind-powered technology is gaining recognition. About 100 out of every110,000 new-build ships are being built using some sort of wind technology. And that doesn’t take into account ships like the Pyxis Ocean which have been, or will be transformed with sails, kites, or other types of wind-powered mechanisms. (幸运的是,风力发电技术正在获得认可。每11万艘新造船中,大约有100艘正在使用某种风能技术建造。这还不包括像皮克西斯海洋号这样的船只,它们已经或将被帆、风筝或其他类型的风力驱动机制改造。)”可知,风帆辅助技术是可靠且很有前途的。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail.

D
Researchers have found evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) models would rather lie than admit the shame of not knowing something.
A new study published in Nature found that the bigger LLMs (大型语言模型) get, the less reliable they become for specific tasks. They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not really correct, because they are trained to believe it is. “LLMs are going far beyond their knowledge base to provide responses,” the study noted.
Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex (复杂的) tasks. It’s like a person who’s used to eating only fancy meals suddenly struggling to make a home barbecue or a traditional cake. AI models trained on vast, complex datasets are more likely to miss fundamental skills.
The issue is worsened by the models’ apparent confidence. Users often find it challenging to tell when AI is providing accurate information and when it’s confidently giving misinformation. This overconfidence can lead to dangerous overreliance on AI outputs, particularly in critical fields like healthcare or legal advice.
According to the study, techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), intended to shape AI behavior, may actually be adding to the problem. These approaches appear to be reducing the models’ tendency to avoid tasks they’re not equipped to handle — remember the infamous “as an AI Language Model, I cannot”? — unintentionally encouraging more frequent errors.
Human oversight, long considered a safeguard against AI mistakes, may not be sufficient to address these issues. The study found that users often struggle to correct incorrect model outputs, even in relatively simple fields, so relying on human judgment may not be the ultimate solution for proper model training.
The study’s findings call into question the current tendency of AI development. While the push for larger, more capable models continues, this research suggests that bigger isn’t always better when it comes to AI reliability.
32. How may LLMs react when not knowing something?
A. They admit their ignorance.
B. They refuse to give answers.
C. They turn to experts for assistance.
D. They reply confidently but offer false answers.
33. What has led to AI telling lies according to the study?
A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Inability to handle specific tasks.
C. Unawareness of its own ignorance. D. Lack of proper human monitoring.
34. What is the function of the example mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To show the limitations of AI training methods.
B. To prove LLMs are similar to humans.
C. To demonstrate LLMs are poor at simple tasks.
D. To imply LLMs should be applied to complex tasks.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards where AI is heading?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了大型语言模型在特定任务上的可靠性问题及其原因。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not really correct, because they are trained to believe it is. (即使答案不是真的正确,它们也倾向于自信地回答,因为它们被训练得相信答案是正确的)”可知,在不知道某件事情时,它们会自信地回答,但给出的答案是错误的。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not really correct, because they are trained to believe it is. (即使答案不是真的正确,它们也倾向于自信地回答,因为它们被训练得相信答案是正确的)”、第四段中“The issue is worsened by the models’ apparent confidence. Users often find it challenging to tell when AI is providing accurate information and when it’s confidently giving misinformation. (模型明显的自信使问题更加恶化。用户经常发现,很难判断人工智能何时提供了准确的信息,何时自信地给出了错误的信息)”可知,根据这项研究,由于没有意识到自己的无知,人工智能会说谎。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex (复杂的) tasks. It’s like a person who’s used to eating only fancy meals suddenly struggling to make a home barbecue or a traditional cake. AI models trained on vast, complex datasets are more likely to miss fundamental skills. (研究人员发现,这种现象并不是因为大型语言模型不具备处理简单任务的能力,而是因为它们被训练得更擅长处理复杂的任务。这就像一个习惯只吃高级餐点的人突然难以制作家庭烧烤或传统蛋糕一样。在庞大的复杂数据集上训练的AI模型更容易缺失基本技能)”可推知,这个例子是为了说明AI训练方法的局限性,即专注于复杂任务可能导致忽视基本技能。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study’s findings call into question the current tendency of AI development. While the push for larger, more capable models continues, this research suggests that bigger isn’t always better when it comes to AI reliability. (该研究的发现对当前AI发展的趋势提出了质疑。尽管追求更大、更强大的模型的趋势仍在继续,但这项研究表明,在AI的可靠性方面,更大并不总是更好)”可推知,作者对AI的发展方向持怀疑态度。故选B。
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。
Comparing yourself to others sometimes negatively (消极地) impacts how you feel about yourself, here are four strategies to help you change this.
Recognise comparing is a habit
From the early days of our schooling, we become aware that our grades are the same, similar to, or different from our peers. ___36___. When we identify something as a habit and are honest about its impact on our self-esteem (自尊) and mental health, we are in a much better position to change it.
Manage your inner critic (批评者)
When you don’t feel good enough compared to others, it is easy to fall into self-criticism and self-judgment. One way to deal with this is to adopt a mindset of managing your inner critic. ___37___. You do not need to engage with it or believe everything it says about you.
Broaden your view of yourself
___38___. Your focus on your weaknesses, imperfections, and your limitations become centred on. When our attention is narrowed this way, we tend to discount other information that might challenge this negative view of ourselves. For example, winning a prize may be discounted as luck rather than ability. Therefore, broadening your view of yourself is essential. ___39___.
Organize and limit your social media
Like social comparison, using social media is an automatic habit. For example, we scroll (滚屏) waiting in a queue, on the bus, on our lunch breaks. ___40___.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了减少自我比较以促进心理健康和自尊的四种策略。
【36题详解】
由上文“From the early days of our schooling, we become aware that our grades are the same, similar to, or different from our peers. (从上学的早期开始,我们就意识到我们的成绩与同龄人相同、相似或不同。)”可知,上文说明这种比较习惯如何逐渐形成,此处应该承接上文,说明竞争感是如何迅速形成。因此B选项“Then a sense of competition can quickly develop (然后,竞争意识就会迅速发展)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选B。
【37题详解】
由上文“When you don’t feel good enough compared to others, it is easy to fall into self-criticism and self-judgment. One way to deal with this is to adopt a mindset of managing your inner critic. (当你觉得自己比别人不够好时,很容易陷入自我批评和自我判断。解决这个问题的一个方法是采取一种心态来管理你内心的批评。)”及下文“You do not need to engage with it or believe everything it says about you. (你不需要参与其中,也不需要相信它所说的关于你的一切。)”可知,本空应承上启下,说明应远离内心的批评声音,C选项“Notice when it shows up and stay away from it (注意它何时出现,并远离它)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
由上文“Broaden your view of yourself”和下文“Your focus on your weaknesses, imperfections, and your limitations become centred on. When our attention is narrowed this way, we tend to discount other information that might challenge this negative view of ourselves. For example, winning a prize may be discounted as luck rather than ability. (你会把注意力集中在你的缺点、不完美和局限上。当我们的注意力以这种方式缩小时,我们倾向于忽略其他可能挑战这种负面看法的信息。例如,赢得奖品可能被认为是运气而不是能力。)”可知,本空需要引出对自我负面看法的聚焦现象,因此G选项“Being stuck in constant unhelpful comparisons makes you feel “less than” (被困在不断无益的比较中会让你感到“不如”)”能承接上文,说明了陷入不利比较的感受。故选G。
【39题详解】
由上文“Therefore, broadening your view of yourself is essential. (因此,拓宽自己的视野是很重要的。)”可知,本空应说明拓宽自我认知的好处,E选项“It helps you move to a more balanced view of yourself (它有助于你对自己有一个更平衡的看法)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选E。
【40题详解】
由上文“Like social comparison, using social media is an automatic habit. For example, we scroll waiting in a queue, on the bus, on our lunch breaks. (就像社会比较一样,使用社交媒体是一种自动习惯。例如,我们在排队等待,在公共汽车上,在我们的午休时间。)”可知,这里需要总结社交媒体使用的普遍性,D选项“And it has been a common part of our daily life (它已经成为我们日常生活中常见的一部分)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选D。

As her 18th birthday approached, Victoria eagerly anticipated the celebration of her coming of age. Her parents had promised to host a grand party in their garden, inviting friends, family, and teachers to witness this milestone in her life. They even planned to have her favorite band perform live, making the event truly unforgettable.
However, fate had a different plan for Victoria. Just two months before the big day, Victoria fell seriously ill with a persistent high fever. After several tests, she was diagnosed with acute leukemia (急性白血病) and had to be hospitalized immediately for further treatment. Victoria’s condition was unstable, causing huge stress to her parents, who tirelessly cared for her and struggled to find funds for her high medical bills.
In those dark days, Victoria felt utterly upset, believing her dream of an 18th birthday celebration was now an impossible fantasy. The pain and exhaustion from the treatments were overwhelming, and she often found herself feeling hopeless, wondering if she would ever get better. The thought of missing her birthday party added to her despair, making each day feel even longer.
On the morning of her birthday, as Victoria lay in her hospital bed, feeling the weight of her illness, her parents arrived to take her for a medical checkup. They gently pushed her wheelchair through the hospital corridors, their faces lined with worry and fatigue. “We’re so sorry, sweetheart,” her mother said, her voice trembling. “We know how much you were looking forward to your party. We couldn’t make it happen.” Her father squeezed her hand and added, “We just want you to get better. That’s all that matters right now.”
Although Victoria was disappointed, she managed to smile and reassure them that it was okay. “I understand,” she said softly, trying to mask the pain and sadness she felt. “I’m just glad you’re here with me.” Their presence was a comfort, even if it couldn’t erase her disappointment. After the checkup, they returned to the hospital room.

As the door swung open, Victoria was greeted with an unexpected sight. The room was transformed with colorful balloons and a big banner that read, “Happy 18th Birthday! ” Victoria’s friends, family members, and teachers, all wearing bright smiles, stood around her bed. She could hardly believe her eyes. Tears of joy filled her eyes as Victoria saw the effort and love they had poured into this surprise. Her favorite band was there too, setting up their instruments. When they began to play Victoria’s favorite song, the room was filled with music, laughter, and warmth. At that moment, Victoria felt a spark of hope within her.
The surprise birthday party offered Victoria the courage to face her illness head-on. Their presence and support reminded her that she wasn’t alone in this battle. The joy and love she experienced that day became her support in the difficult times that followed. With their support, she embraced each treatment with newfound strength. Gradually, Victoria began to see progress, and eventually, she won in the fight against acute leukemia. Victoria’s 18th birthday, celebrated in that hospital room, became a symbol of hope, love, and the wonderful power of community.

Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a greatest impediment to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛).
Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. “My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument,” Anantawan said. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow.
A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination,” he said.
Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity.
Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provide accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability.
24. What does the underlined word “impediment” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Possibility. B. Barrier. C. Achievement. D. Regret.
25. Why did Anantawan’s family get in touch with the hospital?
A. To find a man-made hand for him.
B. To inspire him to learn to play the recorder.
C. To put forward suggestions on adapting a violin.
D. To add something extra to assist his right arm.
26. What does Anantawan think is the key to the disabled’s access to music?
A. Inclusive atmosphere. B. Fair competitions.
C. Enough resources. D. Lasting cooperation.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why Anantawan becomes active. B. Who Anantawan plays music with.
C. How Anantawan lives in his free time. D. What Anantawan contributes his time to.

Sometimes to go forward you must look backwards. Wind-powered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail. With the coming of fuel-powered ships, however, the sail fell out of favor as a practical way to move large boats and ships across the ocean. Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions (碳排放) produced by the fuel-powered shipping industry.
Shipping is not an environmentally friendly industry. In fact, the industry is responsible for about three percent of global emissions. Luckily, the leading figures in the industry have made a commitment to become planet-warming gasses net zero by 2050. This is where the Pyxis Ocean comes in.
The Pyxis Ocean is a ship with two “WindWings”, which was designed by a British company. The ship made its first journey crossing the ocean from China to Brazil in 2023.
But the “WindWings” are not quite sails. Standing up to 37 meters tall, they are designed using the same type of aerodynamic (空气动力学的) principles that make it possible for an aircraft to fly. When not being used, the sails fold down onto the ship’s deck. It is estimated that the wings will save around 3 tons of fuel a day. That is a lot of fuel.
With new, cleaner fuels still in the works, these partial measures to reduce carbon emissions are a godsend. “Ultimately we do need zero-carbon fuels on all ships, but in the meantime, it is necessary to make every journey as efficient as possible,” Dr Simon Bullock, a shipping researcher, said.
Luckily, wind-powered technology is gaining recognition. About 100 out of every110,000 new-build ships are being built using some sort of wind technology. And that doesn’t take into account ships like the Pyxis Ocean which have been, or will be transformed with sails, kites, or other types of wind-powered mechanisms.
28. What does the comeback of the wind-powered technology indicate?
A. The whole world is faced with an energy crisis.
B. Sustainable development has become a global trend.
C. The solutions to modern problems may lie in the past.
D. The shipping industry is determined to turn away from fuels.
29. What is the main purpose of the “WindWings” on the Pyxis Ocean?
A. To reduce the ship’s carbon emissions. B. To provide entertainment for the sailors.
C. To serve as a backup power source. D. To increase the speed of the ship.
30. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Wind power is playing a major role in the shipping industry.
B. The wind-powered technology is reliable and promising.
C. Fuel-powered ships will soon be replaced by wind-powered ones.
D. Technology innovation is key to addressing environmental issues.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. New Ship Sailing into the Future B. Traditional Shipping Taking the Stage
C. The Pyxis Ocean: New Hope for the Earth D. “WindWings”: a Return to Ancient Shipping Wisdom
D
Researchers have found evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) models would rather lie than admit the shame of not knowing something.
A new study published in Nature found that the bigger LLMs (大型语言模型) get, the less reliable they become for specific tasks. They tend to reply with confidence even if the answer is not really correct, because they are trained to believe it is. “LLMs are going far beyond their knowledge base to provide responses,” the study noted.
Researchers found that this phenomenon is not because bigger LLMs are not capable of handling simple tasks, but instead they are trained to be more skilled at complex (复杂的) tasks. It’s like a person who’s used to eating only fancy meals suddenly struggling to make a home barbecue or a traditional cake. AI models trained on vast, complex datasets are more likely to miss fundamental skills.
The issue is worsened by the models’ apparent confidence. Users often find it challenging to tell when AI is providing accurate information and when it’s confidently giving misinformation. This overconfidence can lead to dangerous overreliance on AI outputs, particularly in critical fields like healthcare or legal advice.
According to the study, techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), intended to shape AI behavior, may actually be adding to the problem. These approaches appear to be reducing the models’ tendency to avoid tasks they’re not equipped to handle — remember the infamous “as an AI Language Model, I cannot”? — unintentionally encouraging more frequent errors.
Human oversight, long considered a safeguard against AI mistakes, may not be sufficient to address these issues. The study found that users often struggle to correct incorrect model outputs, even in relatively simple fields, so relying on human judgment may not be the ultimate solution for proper model training.
The study’s findings call into question the current tendency of AI development. While the push for larger, more capable models continues, this research suggests that bigger isn’t always better when it comes to AI reliability.
32. How may LLMs react when not knowing something?
A. They admit their ignorance.
B. They refuse to give answers.
C. They turn to experts for assistance.
D. They reply confidently but offer false answers.
33. What has led to AI telling lies according to the study?
A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Inability to handle specific tasks.
C. Unawareness of its own ignorance. D. Lack of proper human monitoring.
34. What is the function of the example mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To show the limitations of AI training methods.
B. To prove LLMs are similar to humans.
C To demonstrate LLMs are poor at simple tasks.
D. To imply LLMs should be applied to complex tasks.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards where AI is heading?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unclear.

As her 18th birthday approached, Victoria eagerly anticipated the celebration of her coming of age. Her parents had promised to host a grand party in their garden, inviting friends, family, and teachers to witness this milestone in her life. They even planned to have her favorite band perform live, making the event truly unforgettable.
However, fate had a different plan for Victoria. Just two months before the big day, Victoria fell seriously ill with a persistent high fever. After several tests, she was diagnosed with acute leukemia (急性白血病) and had to be hospitalized immediately for further treatment. Victoria’s condition was unstable, causing huge stress to her parents, who tirelessly cared for her and struggled to find funds for her high medical bills.
In those dark days, Victoria felt utterly upset, believing her dream of an 18th birthday celebration was now an impossible fantasy. The pain and exhaustion from the treatments were overwhelming, and she often found herself feeling hopeless, wondering if she would ever get better. The thought of missing her birthday party added to her despair, making each day feel even longer.
On the morning of her birthday as Victoria lay in her hospital bed, feeling the weight of her illness, her parents arrived to take her for a medical checkup. They gently pushed her wheelchair through the hospital corridors, their faces lined with worry and fatigue. “We’re so sorry, sweetheart,” her mother said, her voice trembling. “We know how much you were looking forward to your party. We couldn’t make it happen.” Her father squeezed her hand and added, “We just want you to get better. That’s all that matters right now.”
Although Victoria was disappointed, she managed to smile and reassure them that it was okay. “I understand,” she said softly, trying to mask the pain and sadness she felt. “I’m just glad you’re here with me.” Their presence was a comfort, even if it couldn’t erase her disappointment. After the checkup, they returned to the hospital room.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the door swung open, Victoria was greeted with an unexpected sight.
