的范围内对这些词进行评分。例如，‘残忍’一词得到了-1.81分。·聪明’一词的评分为1.86。渐渐地，实 验参与者们选择用来描述黑人的词变得更加正面了。1933年，这些词的评分大约为-1。到2012年，这些词 4 的评分则略高于0”可以推断，人们对黑人的态度随着时间的推移而改变了。 34.答案A 命题透析词义猜测题。

多的研究来弄清楚人们如何能够识别社会中根深蒂固的偏见一以及这些模型中的偏见。只有这样，我们才 能创造出真正没有偏见的人工智能，而不是只会想方设法隐藏其种族主义的人工智能。”可以推断，Rdy强 调的是，如何创造出真正没有偏见的人工智能。 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主题语境为人与自我。文章主要介绍了狄德罗效应以及其应对方法。 36.答案D 命题透析考查上下文衔接。

A．Some farmers in Kenya hunt elephants for a living． B．Kenya’s elephant conservation efforts hardly pay off． C．The rise in elephant populations is actually a two-edged sword． D．The expanding human population makes elephants endangered． 29．What’s the author’s main purpose in listing the figures in paragraph 4? A．To show the popularity of beehive fences． B．To demonstrate the effectiveness of beehive fences． C．To emphasize the large number of bees living in Africa． D．To display the effect of climate change on the novel solution． 30．Which statement about beehive fences will the author probably agree with? A．They fail to meet the farmers’ expectations． B．They turn out to be the original creations of local farmers． C．They bring about economic benefits by boosting tourism． D．They contribute to the coexistence of humans and elephants． 31．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Growth of African Elephant Population B．The Importance of Saving African Elephants C．Impacts of Climate Change on Elephant Habitat D．Innovative Solution to Elephant-Human Conflict D If you ask ChatGPT what it thinks about Black people，it’ll use words like “ambitious” and “intelligent”．Other forms of generative AI—which almost seem to think for themselves—will do the same．However，when you ask these AI tools what they think about people who use African American English，they tend to use words like “suspicious” “aggressive” and “ignorant．” Valentin Hofmann at the University of Oxford is part of a team that has just shared these new findings．This hidden racism（种族歧视）in AI models mirrors the prejudice present in modem society，her team says．In the past，Black people faced more open racism．It often showed up as unfair laws or acts of violence．Today，that prejudice can be more secret．People may claim not to see skin color—but still hold racist beliefs，the study authors write．Their new evidence shows that chatbots do the same．And such hidden prejudice，they say，could cause serious harm． The new study builds on a series of experiments conducted in 1933，1951，1969 and 2012．In those studies，one group of people had to choose five words that described different racial groups from a list of 84 words．A separate group of people rated those words on a scale that ran from-2（least favorable）to+2（most favorable）．“Cruel，” for example，got a rating of-1．81．“Brilliant” was rated 1．86．Gradually，words that participants in these experiments chose to describe Black people became more positive．In 1933，those terms were rated roughly-1．By 2012，they ranked just above zero． For its new study，the team used a similar setup to test AI models for open—or obvious—racism．They also used it to test for hidden racism．The team found that hidden prejudices show up even in AI models released in the last few years although those models are trained by people intentionally trying to scrub racism in the chatbots’ responses． Tech companies had hoped that having people review AI-written text would reduce chatbot racism，says Siva Reddy，a computational linguist at McGill University in Montreal，Canada．The idea was that AI racism would be caught and corrected while models were still being trained．“You find all these problems and put patches（补丁）to the AI，” Reddy says．“But more research is needed to sort out how people can identify prejudices deeply rooted in society—and，as a result，in these models．Only then can we create truly unprejudiced AI rather than AI that just finds ways to hide its racism．” 32．What has Valentin Hofmann’s team found about ChatGPT and other AI tools? A．They are able to think for themselves． B．They show some hidden racial prejudice． C．They have a preference for complex words． D．They judge a person by the color of their skin． 33．What do the experiments mentioned in paragraph 3 show? A．Black people took negative words lightly． B．Black people’s social class has been on the rise． C．People’s attitude to Black people changed with time． D．People became more and more friendly to each other． 34．What does the underlined word “scrub” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．Clean up． B．Pay attention to． C．Figure out． D．Lose sight of． 35．What do Reddy’s words in the last paragraph mainly focus on? A．How to create truly unprejudiced AI． B．How to solve problems related to AI． C．The meaning of identifying hidden racism． D．The importance of developing unprejudiced AI． 第二节（共5小题；每小题2．5分，满分12．5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Diderot Effect is what happens when a new possession makes our old things look bad so we feel a need to replace them all．You buy your kids new backpacks for school and they complain that their pencil cases and lunch bags don’t match，so you buy them new pencil cases and lunch bags．Then，of course，you can’t put their old pencils in new pencil cases so you buy new pencils，and pens． 36 This cycle of replacing old items with new ones can be endless，and even if we’ve never heard the name before，it’s hard to deny the impact of the Diderot Effect on our lives．So，what steps can you take to break this endless cycle of consumption? Recognize it before it happens． 37 Don’t let every new item start an endless spiral of purchases．Each time you buy something new，remind yourself that the other items you’re feeling tempted（被引诱的）to replace were perfectly fine until now—and probably still are． Buy new items that fit what you already have． When you do need to buy something new，finding pieces that fit what you already own will reduce the temptation to replace perfectly good things．For example，add a new piece of furniture that matches your existing room decor（装饰风格）．Otherwise，you’ll need to buy everything new． 38 Practise mindful shopping． Mindful shopping is about being fully aware of your thoughts and feelings before purchasing a new item． 39 That is，before buying anything，stop and ask yourself a few mindful shopping questions．Ninety-nine times out of a hundred，you’ll decide you don’t really need the item． 40 Despite what marketers want you to believe，it’s good to remind yourself that material possessions don’t define your self-worth．Ensure you buy items because you really need or want them，and not just to impress your social circle． A．Let go of wanting things． B．Remember that things are just things． C．How can we reduce the chances of out-of-control spending? D．Do you see how this pattern can lead to unnecessary spending? E．It requires you to question if you truly need something． F．This is because the new piece mismatches your existing style． G．The first step to breaking the cycle is to be aware of the Diderot Effect and prevent it． 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Just after Thanksgiving，I awoke to the sound in the kitchen．My

raining cats and dogs，but I wasn’t bothered because Justin，Wendy，Crystal，Kevin and I were texting each other about our upcoming trip to Niagara Falls．Everybody was so engaged in brainstorming ideas about what to bring along． Suddenly，Justin came up with a brilliant idea．He suggested that we should assign roles to each one of us so that we could minimize everyone’s workload．I was assigned the babysitter’s role because I was the most careful person among us． When the sun was right above our heads，we departed for our destination．On our way，I served as the babysitter．I collected hundreds of junk food wraps and guided us into every single rest station when needed．As Wendy and I were lining up for the washroom，I noticed how a little girl always got pushed out of the line，so I let her stand in front of me．When we all got back to the car，Wendy praised me as a kind and responsible member，which made me feel very proud of myself．I was happy．On the way，I saw Crystal holding something that looked like a sun hat．Justin asked Crystal what it was，but because I was too excited，I didn’t catch Crystal’s answer clearly．It seemed that she mentioned her mother． When we arrived at our hotel，it was already six in the evening．Since no one was hungry，we decided to rest and get ready for next day’s adventure．However，I，as an exception，was too excited，thinking about spending the next few days．I couldn’t close my eyes．I decided to go to Crystal’s room since she was playing some music there．Crystal was weaving（编织）the thing that I saw in the car．As I was watching her weave，time passed by like an arrow，and Crystal unintentionally fell asleep before she finished her sun hat． 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。 Seeing Crystal fall quickly into her dream，I suddenly came up with an
