Whatever your interests, our specialists will suggest experiences designed to enhance your trip to Peru. Tour of Machu Picchu Your guide will explain the many theories that exist for the positioning and function of Machu Picchu, including astronomical, defense and trade ideas. Your route around the site takes around 3 hours and should be discussed with your guide, who will advise on the best way to explore and keep away from some of the crowds. Ride the Andean Explorer Puno is the place to board the Andean Explorer train to Cuzco. This rail journey takes about 10 hours. The track extends by the side of the Urubamba River as you pass adobe (土坯) villages and waving schoolchildren before arriving in Cuzco. You can choose to take the journey by road instead. Traveling by bus or car allows you to make a couple of stops, at the ruins of Raqchi and the village of Andahuaylillas. Chinchero Market & Ruins Chinchero Market is one of the most traditional markets in South America. At 8 a. m., you will be surrounded by locals in their traditional dress all buying and selling their produce. After two hours’ walk, you will visit the Maras salt pans, a system of platforms used since the Inca times to extract (提取) salt from a natural mountain spring. There are beautiful views of the snow-capped mountains of Chicon, Veronica and Salcantay. 21. Why are tourists to Machu Picchu advised to consult the guide? A. To avoid peak times. B.

Have fun in a mountain spring. C. Learn about salt harvesting. D. Climb snow-capped mountains. B Working in behavioral science, I’ve been asked how adults, especially educators, help students who like to stick with easy work. My answer is to take action based on the science behind desirable difficulties, which reveals the root of the question, and to do that, knowing what it is exactly is necessary. When my daughter Amanda was young and still taking piano lessons, I’d half-listen upstairs while she practiced down below. Typically, she’d get pretty good at the opening measures of a new piece. But eventually she’d get to those she didn’t know as well. At that point, music became noise, and Amanda was struggling along the way. Very soon, there would be silence. Then Amanda would begin again at the beginning - where the touch of her fingers generated music instead of noise. In the part Amanda felt uncomfortable about, she met difficulty desirable for her. If Amanda spent too much time repeating the simple measures and not enough on what was obviously difficult for her, I’d encourage her to get back to the hard part. Why do kids need grown-ups to encourage them through what scientists call “desirable difficulties”? Students often misinterpret the feeling of “This is hard!” to mean “I must not be learning much!” However, the truth is that strategies taking more effort, like testing yourself rather than just rereading notes, produce greater long-term learning gains. Difficulty is desirable… but it’s not always desired. Don’t assume that kids avoid effort because they’re lazy. Instead, they may be misreading the sensation of effort as a signal that they’re failing to make progress. Teach students to look at struggle in a sensible way by sharing stories of times you, too, felt confused and how insisting through difficulty helped you improve more than sticking to what you already knew. And, when their practice sounds and looks truly awful, tell them the sound of struggle is music to your ears. 24. Why does the author mention the story about Amanda? A. To prove a theory. B. To illustrate a concept. C. To provide a solution. D. To introduce a phenomenon. 25. What would Amanda do when facing difficult sections of music? A. Turn to her mother for help. B. Practice them repeatedly. C. Stop to return to the easy part. D. Struggle to complete them. 26. What is students’ common misunderstanding? A. It is hard to make long-term gains. B. Adults don’t understand their struggle. C. Effortful strategies are ineffective. D. Making progress is a must in learning. 27. How can educators help students deal with difficulty? A. By simplifying the tasks for them. B. By sharing stories of sticking to goals. C. By accepting their poor performance. D. By leading them to adopt a right attitude. C Researchers found that they could accurately predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Simply put: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends). Published in Nature Communications the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to dynamic, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson. The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses pairwise across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network. The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables, including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two. 28. How did the researchers judge the relationship between two people? A. By asking them to complete a questionnaire. B. By observing their interactions on casual occasions. C. By analyzing their brains’ reaction to videos. D. By comparing their valuations of the same visual material. 29. What can we know about the study mentioned in the text? A. It has yet to win recognition from the academic world. B. It involved more than 200 students watching various videos. C. It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation. D It is original and checks people’s neural responses. 30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The conclusion of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The working principle of an fMRI. D. The challenges of the researchers. 31. What does the underlined word “analogy” in the last paragraph mean? A. Similarity. B. Intensity. C. Abnormality. D. Benefit. D With fundamental developments in the field of technology, some experts foresee serious risks to jobs and employability in the coming years due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Approximately 27% of jobs are at high risk of automation during the artificial intelligence era. Low and middle-skilled jobs are most at risk, including construction, farming, fishing, forestry and, to a lesser extent, production and transportation. High-skilled occupations, despite being more exposed to recent progress in AI, face the least risk of automation. While the adoption of AI is still relatively low, rapid progress, falling technology costs and the increasing availability of workers with AI skills suggest that the world may be on the edge of an AI revolution (革命) . So far there is little evidence of a negative employment impact on firms that adopt AI. Workers and employers say that AI can reduce boring and dangerous tasks, leading to greater employee engagement and physical safety. Nevertheless, a recent survey showed that three in five workers are worried about losing their job to AI within the next decade. Additionally, a similar number of workers worry that wages would decrease due to AI. More than half of workers are concerned about privacy and three in four say that AI has increased work pace. In my opinion, for the better protection of the labour market and workers in the coming years, governments should encourage employers to provide more training, integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the AI workforce. There is an urgent need for policy action to address AI risks in the workplace and to ensure accountability for and openness to employment-related decisions supported by AI. The recent speedup of generative AI-related developments and tools marks a technological watershed (转折点) with material implications in many workplaces. Longer-term policy frameworks for the use of AI in the workplace should be considered and closer international cooperation should be seen to maximize the benefits while appropriately managing the risks. 32. Who may be most affected by automation? A. A tour guide. B. A building worker. C. A coffee producer. D. A farming professional. 33. What is the author’s attitude towards the adoption of AI in the workplace? A. Deeply concerned. B. Strongly opposed. C. Carefully optimistic. D. Relatively conservative. 34. What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply? A. Harmed personal privacy. B. Decreased job satisfaction. C. AI-related positions’ popularity. D. Workers’ broad concern over AI. 35. What is the author’s advice in the last paragraph? A. Adopting policies to regulate AI’s impact. B. Limiting AI’s application in the workplace. C. Promoting cooperation between AI firms. D. Investing more in AI education in colleges. 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。 Are all the emails and social media notifications making you anxious or getting you down?

Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance. As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?” Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head. “This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically. It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were assigned to clear away the items. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 虎林市高级中学2024-2025学年度高二上学期期末考试 英语试卷 本卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the man buy?

Some of the oldest people in the world are said to live in Azerbaijan. The most famous of all was Shirali Muslimov, who died on 2 September 1973 at the age of 168. But this has not been proven. Jeanne Louise Calment was born in Arles, France on 21 February 1875, who lived to the age of 122 years, 164 days. Calment holds the record for the oldest person ever. It is said that a diet of wine and nearly one kilogram of chocolate every week contributed to her long life. Another person who was once the oldest person in the world was Kamato Hongo. She was born in 1887, in Japan, and died in 2003 at the age of 116. Kamato usually slept for two full days at a time and then was awake for two full days. Her favorite things were sugar, steak and green tea. Joan Riudavets Moll was born on 15 December 1889 in Spain. Riudavets really wanted to be a doctor but he became a shoemaker, working at home in the family business. He died in March 2004 at the age of 114 years and 81 days after having a cold for a few days, without being seriously ill. However, due to his really old age, he was unable to recover from such a small illness. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Enjoy a guided walk around Machu Picchu, hike the Km 104 Trail through the Andes, or explore the market and Inca ruins in Písac. Whatever your interests, our specialists will suggest experiences designed to enhance your trip to Peru. Tour of Machu Picchu Your guide will explain the many theories that exist for the positioning and function of Machu Picchu, including astronomical, defense and trade ideas. Your route around the site takes around 3 hours and should be discussed with your guide, who will advise on the best way to explore and keep away from some of the crowds. Ride the Andean Explorer Puno is the place to board the Andean Explorer train to Cuzco. This rail journey takes about 10 hours. The track extends by the side of the Urubamba River as you pass adobe (土坯) villages and waving schoolchildren before arriving in Cuzco. You can choose to take the journey by road instead. Traveling by bus or car allows you to make a couple of stops, at the ruins of Raqchi and the village of Andahuaylillas. Chinchero Market & Ruins Chinchero Market is one of the most traditional markets in South America. At 8 a. m., you will be surrounded by locals in their traditional dress all buying and selling their produce. After two hours’ walk, you will visit the Maras salt pans, a system of platforms used since the Inca times to extract (提取) salt from a natural mountain spring. There are beautiful views of the snow-capped mountains of Chicon, Veronica and Salcantay. 21. Why are tourists to Machu Picchu advised to consult the guide? A. To avoid peak times. B.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，文章主要介绍了秘鲁的文化旅游活动。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tour of Machu Picchu中关键句“Your route around the site takes around 3 hours and should be discussed with your guide, who will advise on the best way to explore and keep away from some of the crowds.(参观这个遗址的路线大约需要3小时，应该与导游讨论一下，他们会为您提供最佳的游览路线，并帮助您避开一些拥挤的人群。)”可知，建议游客与导游进行商量沟通，是为了确定好游览路线，避开游览高峰期。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ride the Andean Explorer中关键句“Puno is the place to board the Andean Explorer train to Cuzco.(普诺是登上安第斯探险者列车前往库斯科的地方。)”及“You can choose to take the journey by road instead. Traveling by bus or car allows you to make a couple of stops, at the ruins of Raqchi and the village of Andahuaylillas.(你也可以选择通过公路旅行。乘坐巴士或汽车旅行可以让你在路上停几次，参观拉奇奇的废墟和安达维利亚斯村。)”可知，Ride the Andean Explorer的特别之处在于它提供了另外一种旅行方式——乘坐巴士或汽车旅行公路旅行。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chinchero Market & Ruins中关键句“After two hours’ walk, you will visit the Maras salt pans, a system of platforms used since the Inca times to extract (提取) salt from a natural mountain spring.(步行两个小时后，您将参观马拉斯盐田，这是一个自印加时代起就用于从天然山泉中提取盐的系统。)”可知，最后一个旅行中，人们可以了解采盐工艺。故选C。 B Working in behavioral science, I’ve been asked how adults, especially educators, help students who like to stick with easy work. My answer is to take action based on the science behind desirable difficulties, which reveals the root of the question, and to do that, knowing what it is exactly is necessary. When my daughter Amanda was young and still taking piano lessons, I’d half-listen upstairs while she practiced down below. Typically, she’d get pretty good at the opening measures of a new piece. But eventually she’d get to those she didn’t know as well. At that point, music became noise, and Amanda was struggling along the way. Very soon, there would be silence. Then Amanda would begin again at the beginning - where the touch of her fingers generated music instead of noise. In the part Amanda felt uncomfortable about, she met difficulty desirable for her. If Amanda spent too much time repeating the simple measures and not enough on what was obviously difficult for her, I’d encourage her to get back to the hard part. Why do kids need grown-ups to encourage them through what scientists call “desirable difficulties”? Students often misinterpret the feeling of “This is hard!” to mean “I must not be learning much!” However, the truth is that strategies taking more effort, like testing yourself rather than just rereading notes, produce greater long-term learning gains. Difficulty is desirable… but it’s not always desired. Don’t assume that kids avoid effort because they’re lazy. Instead, they may be misreading the sensation of effort as a signal that they’re failing to make progress. Teach students to look at struggle in a sensible way by sharing stories of times you, too, felt confused and how insisting through difficulty helped you improve more than sticking to what you already knew. And, when their practice sounds and looks truly awful, tell them the sound of struggle is music to your ears. 24. Why does the author mention the story about Amanda? A. To prove a theory. B. To illustrate a concept. C. To provide a solution. D. To introduce a phenomenon. 25. What would Amanda do when facing difficult sections of music? A. Turn to her mother for help. B. Practice them repeatedly. C. Stop to return to the easy part. D. Struggle to complete them. 26. What is students’ common misunderstanding? A. It is hard to make long-term gains. B. Adults don’t understand their struggle. C. Effortful strategies are ineffective. D. Making progress is a must in learning. 27. How can educators help students deal with difficulty? A. By simplifying the tasks for them. B. By sharing stories of sticking to goals. C. By accepting their poor performance. D. By leading them to adopt a right attitude. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过女儿 Amanda的钢琴练习经历，探讨了“必要难度”这一科学概念，并解释了为什么成年人需要鼓励孩子面对困难。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“My answer is to take action based on the science behind desirable difficulties, which reveals the root of the question, and to do that, knowing what it is exactly is necessary. (我的回答是，要根据令人满意的困难背后的科学来采取行动，这揭示了问题的根源，要做到这一点，知道它到底是什么是必要的。)”可知，第一段引出“必要难度”这一概念，且作者提到了解“必要难度”是什么是必要的。再结合对Amanda的钢琴练习经历的描述及第二段的“In the part Amanda felt uncomfortable about, she met difficulty desirable for her. (在Amanda感到不舒服的部分，她遇到了她想要的困难。)”可知，作者通过这个故事来解释什么是“必要难度”。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But eventually she’d get to those she didn’t know as well. At that point, music became noise, and Amanda was struggling along the way. Very soon, there would be silence. Then Amanda would begin again at the beginning (但最终，她会接触到那些她不太了解的地方。在那一刻，音乐变成了噪音，Amanda一路挣扎。很快，就会一片寂静。然后Amanda又从头开始)”可知，当 Amanda 遇到她不熟悉的音节时，音乐变成了噪声……很快，房间里会变得安静，然后她会重新从开头开始，即Amanda会停止弹奏困难的部分，再次回到她熟悉的简单部分。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Students often misinterpret the feeling of “This is hard!” to mean “I must not be learning much!” However, the truth is that strategies taking more effort, like testing yourself rather than just rereading notes, produce greater long-term learning gains. Difficulty is desirable… but it’s not always desired. Don’t assume that kids avoid effort because they’re lazy. Instead, they may be misreading the sensation of effort as a signal that they’re failing to make progress. (学生们常常误解“这太难了！”的意思是“我一定学得不多！”然而，事实是，需要付出更多努力的策略，比如测试自己，而不仅仅是重读笔记，会产生更大的长期学习效果。难度是可取的，但并不总是可取的。不要以为孩子不努力是因为他们懒惰。相反，他们可能误解了努力的感觉，认为这是他们未能取得进展的信号。)”可知，学生常常把“很难”误解为“我学不到多少东西”，他们可能误解了努力的感觉，将其视为他们没有进步的信号。由此可推断，学生们会把费功夫的策略视为无效的。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Teach students to look at struggle in a sensible way by sharing stories of times you, too, felt confused and how insisting through difficulty helped you improve more than sticking to what you already knew. (通过分享你也感到困惑的时候的故事，教学生以一种明智的方式看待挣扎，以及坚持克服困难比坚持你已经知道的东西更能帮助你进步。)”可知，教育者可以通过分享自己克服困难的经历，帮助学生以正确的态度看待困难。故选D。 C Researchers found that they could accurately predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Simply put: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends). Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to dynamic, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson. The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses pairwise across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network. The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables, including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two. 28. How did the researchers judge the relationship between two people? A. By asking them to complete a questionnaire. B. By observing their interactions on casual occasions. C. By analyzing their brains’ reaction to videos. D. By comparing their valuations of the same visual material. 29. What can we know about the study mentioned in the text? A. It has yet to win recognition from the academic world. B. It involved more than 200 students watching various videos. C. It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation. D. It is original and checks people’s neural responses. 30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The conclusion of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The working principle of an fMRI. D. The challenges of the researchers. 31. What does the underlined word “analogy” in the last paragraph mean? A. Similarity. B. Intensity. C. Abnormality. D. Benefit. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项实验表明两个人大脑神经反应的相似度可以反映出他们关系的亲密度。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers found that they could accurately predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Simply put: You and your best friends really do think alike.(研究人员发现，仅根据两个人在观看一系列不熟悉的视频片段时的大脑活动，他们就能准确预测两个人的亲密程度。简单地说：你和你最好的朋友确实想法相似)”可知，研究人员判断两个人关系的方式是通过让他们观看视频片段。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network.(该研究发表在《自然通讯》杂志上，是同类研究中首次研究现实社会网络中人们神经反应之间的联系)”可知，该研究是原创的，检查人们的神经反应。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses pairwise across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network.(这项研究分析了280名研究生的友谊或社会关系。研究人员根据彼此报告的社会关系来估计成对个体之间的社会距离。42名学生被要求观看一系列视频，同时他们的神经活动被功能磁共振成像（fMRI）扫描仪记录下来。这些视频涵盖了一系列主题和类型，包括政治、科学、喜剧和音乐视频，预计会有一系列回应。每个参与者都按照同样的顺序，按照同样的指示观看同样的视频。然后，研究人员对这组学生的神经反应进行了两两比较，以确定朋友之间的大脑活动是否比在社交网络中疏远的学生更相似)”可知，该段是按照时间与逻辑顺序展开，讲述了该项研究的过程。故选B。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning.(研究结果显示，朋友之间的神经反应相似性最强，这种模式出现在涉及情绪反应和高级推理的大脑区域)”以及划线词上文“Even when the researchers controlled variables, including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the”可知，研究结果表明朋友之间的神经反应相似性最强，且即使研究人员控制了一系列变量，朋友之间神经活动在analogy方面仍然很明显。Even表递进关系，由此可知，画线词应该指的就是朋友之间神经反应的“相似性”。故选A。 D With fundamental developments in the field of technology, some experts foresee serious risks to jobs and employability in the coming years due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Approximately 27% of jobs are at high risk of automation during the artificial intelligence era. Low and middle-skilled jobs are most at risk, including construction, farming, fishing, forestry and, to a lesser extent, production and transportation. High-skilled occupations, despite being more exposed to recent progress in AI, face the least risk of automation. While the adoption of AI is still relatively low, rapid progress, falling technology costs and the increasing availability of workers with AI skills suggest that the world may be on the edge of an AI revolution (革命) . So far there is little evidence of a negative employment impact on firms that adopt AI. Workers and employers say that AI can reduce boring and dangerous tasks, leading to greater employee engagement and physical safety. Nevertheless, a recent survey showed that three in five workers are worried about losing their job to AI within the next decade. Additionally, a similar number of workers worry that wages would decrease due to AI. More than half of workers are concerned about privacy and three in four say that AI has increased work pace. In my opinion, for the better protection of the labour market and workers in the coming years, governments should encourage employers to provide more training, integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the AI workforce. There is an urgent need for policy action to address AI risks in the workplace and to ensure accountability for and openness to employment-related decisions supported by AI. The recent speedup of generative AI-related developments and tools marks a technological watershed (转折点) with material implications in many workplaces. Longer-term policy frameworks for the use of AI in the workplace should be considered and closer international cooperation should be seen to maximize the benefits while appropriately managing the risks. 32. Who may be most affected by automation? A. A tour guide. B. A building worker. C. A coffee producer. D. A farming professional. 33. What is the author’s attitude towards the adoption of AI in the workplace? A. Deeply concerned. B. Strongly opposed. C. Carefully optimistic. D. Relatively conservative. 34. What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply? A. Harmed personal privacy. B. Decreased job satisfaction. C. AI-related positions’ popularity. D. Workers’ broad concern over AI. 35. What is the author’s advice in the last paragraph? A. Adopting policies to regulate AI’s impact. B. Limiting AI’s application in the workplace. C. Promoting cooperation between AI firms. D. Investing more in AI education in colleges. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讨论了人工智能（AI）对就业的影响及应对措施。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段“Low and middle-skilled jobs are most at risk, including construction, farming, fishing, forestry and, to a lesser extent, production and transportation. High-skilled occupations, despite being more exposed to recent progress in AI, face the least risk of automation. (低技能和中等技能的工作面临的风险最大，包括建筑、农业、渔业、林业，以及较小程度上的生产和运输。尽管高技能职业更容易接触到人工智能的最新进展，但它们面临的自动化风险最小。)”可知，低到中等技能的工作面临的风险最大，包括建筑、农业、渔业和林业。由此可判断建筑工人受自动化的影响最大。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“So far there is little evidence of a negative employment impact on firms that adopt AI. Workers and employers say that AI can reduce boring and dangerous tasks, leading to greater employee engagement and physical safety. (到目前为止，几乎没有证据表明采用人工智能的公司会对就业产生负面影响。员工和雇主表示，人工智能可以减少无聊和危险的任务，从而提高员工的敬业度和人身安全。)”及最后一段中“In my opinion, for the better protection of the labour market and workers in the coming years, governments should encourage employers to provide more training, integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the AI workforce. There is an urgent need for policy action to address AI risks in the workplace and to ensure accountability for and openness to employment-related decisions supported by AI. (在我看来，为了在未来几年更好地保护劳动力市场和工人，政府应该鼓励雇主提供更多的培训，将人工智能技能融入教育，并支持人工智能劳动力的多样性。迫切需要采取政策行动，解决工作场所的人工智能风险，并确保对人工智能支持的就业相关决策的问责制和开放性。)”可知，作者对人工智能持谨慎乐观的态度，既看到了其优势，也意识到需要采取措施来应对其带来的挑战。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Nevertheless, a recent survey showed that three in five workers are worried about losing their job to AI within the next decade. Additionally, a similar number of workers worry that wages would decrease due to AI. More than half of workers are concerned about privacy and three in four say that AI has increased work pace. (然而，最近的一项调查显示，五分之三的工人担心在未来十年内会被人工智能抢走工作。与此同时，也有相当比例的人担心人工智能会导致工资下降。超过一半的员工担心隐私问题，四分之三的人表示人工智能加快了工作节奏。)”可知，本段中的数据主要展示了工人们对人工智能影响的广泛担忧，包括失业、工资下降、隐私问题和工作节奏加快等。故选D项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In my opinion, for the better protection of the labour market and workers in the coming years, governments should encourage employers to provide more training, integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the AI workforce. There is an urgent need for policy action to address AI risks in the workplace and to ensure accountability for and openness to employment-related decisions supported by AI.

Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance. As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?” Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head. “This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically. It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were assigned to clear away the items. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. Indeed, the task seemed so demanding. Not long after they started working, the heat and dust made them uncomfortable. Cameron’s arms ached from moving heavy boxes, and Barton’s back was sore from bending over. When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished. Although the thought of giving up crossed their minds, the brothers pushed it aside thinking about how hard their parents had been working. The task took them over three hours, but they finally made the warehouse clean and tidy. Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. Mr. Thompson’s eyes widened seeing the once chaotic space took on a completely new look, where everything was in order. He had not expected the brothers to do this job so well. Mr. Thompson handed them their wages, paying extra, and said, “You’ve earned this. By the way, I could use some help over the summer. I wonder if you’re interested.” “We’ d love to!” Barton replied happily. Then the brothers went home excitedly, eager to share their success with their parents. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了十五岁的卡梅隆和十二岁的巴顿来自塔克斯科的一个小镇，父母辛勤工作仍入不敷出，兄弟俩决定在暑假寻找兼职帮助家庭。尽管初次求职被餐馆经理拒绝，他们并未气馁，随后向汤普森杂货店申请工作。店主起初认为他们太小，但在兄弟俩的真诚请求下同意让他们试一试。最终，卡梅隆和巴顿被安排清理仓库的杂物。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“这是一份艰难的工作。只要尽你所能去做，”汤普森说。”可知，第一段可以描写兄弟二人的辛苦工作的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“完成后卡梅隆和巴顿请汤普森先生来。”可知，第二段可以描写汤普森先生看到二人的成果后的反应和最后的结果。 2.续写线索：安排任务——努力完成——请汤普森先生来——得到钱——再次被邀请——兴奋地回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②完成：finish/complete ③放弃：give up/abandon 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②兴奋地：excitedly/feverishly 【点睛】【高分句型1】When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished.
