Most of us can’t live like Musk, the richest man in the world, but we can read like him. Musk recommended four books in 2024 - though some were published earlier. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams “This book highlights an important point that many times the questions are more difficult than answers. If you can express a question completely, the answer is actually quite simple. So if we can broaden the range of knowledge, that will be a good thing.” said Musk. Franklin: An American Life, by Walter Isaacson “He’s an entrepreneur,” Musk said. “He started with nothing. He was just a runaway kid. But such a man with nothing turned out to be the drafter of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. During his stay in France, he also received the support of France for the independence of the United States. Many other inventions and contributions to American society are too numerous to mention.” Super intelligence, by Nick Bostrom Nick Bostrom, from Oxford University’s Institute for the Future of Humanity, won high praise for this novel. This book suggests that the artificial intelligence of future computers will surpass human intelligence. After reading the book, Musk wrote on Twitter: We should be very careful about artificial intelligence, because it may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Howard Hughes, by Barrett & Steele “Howard is a famous filmmaker and aerospace powerful figure,” Musk said. “It is reading the biography of such a wild and unruly American historical figure that can give me so much interesting inspiration and humor. So, sometimes ideas don’t necessarily come from books on specialized subjects, and many of them are unusual. People tend to give us more unusual but wonderful ideas.” 1. If you are interested in inventions, whose book will you most probably choose? A. Douglas Adams. B. Walter Isaacson. C. Nick Bostrom. D. Barrett & Steele. 2. Which book gives Musk inspiration? A. Howard Hughes. B. Franklin: An American Life. C. Super intelligence. D. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. 3. What can be learned from the text? A. Douglas Adams stresses answers are hard. B. Franklin got the support of the United States. C. Musk gets inspiration from specialized subjects. D. The book Super intelligence was well received. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇推荐类说明文 。马斯克推荐2024年四本书，包括《银河系漫游指南》等，介绍每本书内容及马斯克对它们的看法。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Franklin: An American Life, by Walter Isaacson部分中“Many other inventions and contributions to American society are too numerous to mention. (他对美国社会的许多其他发明和贡献多得不胜枚举。)”可知，这本书提到了很多发明相关内容，所以如果对发明感兴趣，最可能选择Walter Isaacson写的书。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Howard Hughes, by Barrett & Steele部分中“It is reading the biography of such a wild and unruly American historical figure that can give me so much interesting inspiration and humor. (正是阅读这样一位不羁的美国历史人物的传记，能给我带来如此多有趣的灵感和幽默。)”可知，Howard Hughes这本书给了马斯克灵感。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Super intelligence, by Nick Bostrom部分中“Nick Bostrom, from Oxford University’s Institute for the Future of Humanity, won high praise for this novel. (来自牛津大学人类未来研究所的Nick Bostrom因这部小说赢得了高度赞誉。)”可知，Super intelligence这本书广受好评。故选D项。 B China’s new hit TV show To the Wonder has made Altay in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region a new trendy tourist destination among young people, who are attracted by the breathtaking views and the simple and heartwarming lives of the local residents. Adapted from Li Juan’s My Altay, the drama tells the story of Li Wenxiu, who returned to her hometown after career setbacks and found the meaning of life and her love there. The grassland views and free and easy lives showcased in the teleplay soon made Altay one of the top scenic spots. The travel website Qunar said that from May 7, flight ticket bookings to Altay rose 20 percent compared with the same period in the previous month, and hotel bookings doubled during the period on its platform. “The best travel season to Altay is usually from August to October, but its peak season will arrive earlier this year, around June, thanks to the impact of this trendy show,” said Huang Minghu, travel website Tuniu’s director for tour products in Xinjiang. He said that Altay enjoys great advantages in developing tourism, including its breathtaking grassland and lake views, and original and well-preserved villages. The place is also a popular skiing destination in winter. Wei Changren, founder of a tourism-related financial news website, said that Altay has not become famous overnight, but has long been a destination well-known for its natural beauty. However, it hasn’t been very popular because of long travel time and higher costs of accommodation. “It’s not that convenient to reach the place, as many big cities don’t have direct flights to Altay. Travelers may have to take buses or cars for hours after their flight, which is a problem,” he said. “But I believe the development of its tourism enjoys great prospects.” “Altay has different charms in summer and winter, and these distinct seasonal views are attractive to travelers. From my perspective, authorities in Altay can take the hit show as an opportunity and continue developing good tourism and cultural resources to attract travelers,” added Wei. 4. What can we learn about Altay from the first two paragraphs? A. It lacks breathtaking natural beauty. B. It has become a hot tourist attraction. C. It has no impact on the tourism industry. D. It made Li Juan find the meaningful life. 5. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the travel website Qunar? A. To analyze the patterns of tourism in Altay. B. To describe the tourism advantages of Altay. C. To prove the impact of TV show on tourism of Altay. D. To discuss the convenience of transportation in Altay. 6. What is the challenge in terms of Altay’s tourism development? A. Lack of beautiful natural scenery. B. Lack of direct flights from big cities. C. The increasing popularity of a teleplay. D. The increasing cost of accommodation. 7. What’s the basis of Altay as a tourism destination? A. Its free and easy lifestyle. B. The teleplay filmed there. C. The well-preserved villages. D. Its breathtaking seasonal views. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。中国热门电视剧《我的阿勒泰》让阿勒泰成热门旅游地，介绍其旅游现状、发展优势与挑战。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“China’s new hit TV show To the Wonder has made Altay in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region a new trendy tourist destination among young people, who are attracted by the breathtaking views and the simple and heartwarming lives of the local residents.(中国新的热门电视剧《我的阿勒泰》使新疆维吾尔自治区的阿勒泰成为年轻人中新的热门旅游目的地，他们被那里令人惊叹的景色和当地居民简单温馨的生活所吸引。)” 以及第二段“The grassland views and free and easy lives showcased in the teleplay soon made Altay one of the top scenic spots.(电视剧中展示的草原景色和惬意的生活很快使阿勒泰成为顶级景点之一。)”可知，阿勒泰已经成为热门旅游景点。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The travel website Qunar said that from May 7, flight ticket bookings to Altay rose 20 percent compared with the same period in the previous month, and hotel bookings doubled during the period on its platform.(旅游网站去哪儿网表示，从 5 月 7 日起，前往阿勒泰的机票预订量较上月同期增长了 20%，在此期间其平台上的酒店预订量翻了一番。)”可知，作者提及去哪儿网的数据，是为了证明电视剧对阿勒泰旅游业的影响。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“‘It’s not that convenient to reach the place, as many big cities don’t have direct flights to Altay. Travelers may have to take buses or cars for hours after their flight, which is a problem,’ he said.(他说：“到达这个地方不太方便，因为许多大城市没有直飞阿勒泰的航班。旅客下飞机后可能还得乘坐几个小时的公共汽车或汽车，这是个问题。”)”可知，阿勒泰旅游业发展面临的挑战是缺乏来自大城市的直飞航班。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Altay has different charms in summer and winter, and these distinct seasonal views are attractive to travelers.(阿勒泰在夏季和冬季有不同的魅力，这些独特的季节性景色对游客很有吸引力。)”可知，阿勒泰作为旅游目的地的基础是其令人惊叹的季节性景色。故选D项。 C We often get into arguments with others and probably think we’re right, even if we don’t have all the facts. According to a recent psychology study, people tend to assume they have all of the information that they need to make decisions - even if they don’t. This is called the Illusion of Information Adequacy, as described in a PLOS ONE journal article on October 9th. In the study researchers from Ohio State, Stanford, surveyed 1,261 Americans online. Group One read an article that only gave reasons why the school should cooperate with another that has better water. Group Two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group Three was the control group that read all of the reasons from the above articles. They found that the majority from Group One and Group Two still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the advice in the article they read. Those from Group One were significantly more likely to recommend the schools cooperate, while readers from Group Two were significantly more likely to recommend that the schools remain separate. About 55 percent of the control group recommend the schools cooperate. The participants who had half the information also said that they thought most people would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief that we are correct - even when we don’t have all of the information - the Illusion of Information Adequacy. Fletcher describes it as “The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know, which leads to overconfident decisions and judgments, when we are missing necessary information.” In a follow-up study with 100 readers from Group One and Group Two, the research tried to know what the participants did after hearing both sides. At first, they shared arguments and reasoned together. Eventually, these arguments and reasoning resulted in them saying “That sounds right.” According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the Illusion of Information Adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to pause and ask, “Is there something I’m overlooking that could help me understand their viewpoint better?” This can help reduce interpersonal conflict. 8. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The content of the article. B. The design of the survey. C. The cause of the research. D. The reactions of participants. 9. What does the Illusion of Information Adequacy lead to? A. Making decisions quickly. B. Feeling much too confident. C. Knowing enough information. D. Always agreeing with others. 10. What did the follow-up study focus on? A. The research result. B. The number of participants. C. The size of the groups. D. The process of changing minds. 11. What does Fletcher suggest to reduce conflict? A. Agreeing with others’ ideas. B. Focusing on new information. C. Ignoring deeply-held beliefs. D. Stopping to consider other views. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项心理学研究表明人们存在信息充足性错觉，即便信息不全也自信决策。研究通过分组调查证实，还给出减少人际冲突的方法，即思考是否忽略他人观点。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In the study, researchers from Ohio State, Stanford, surveyed 1,261 Americans online. Group One read an article that only gave reasons why the school should cooperate with another that has better water. Group Two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group Three was the control group that read all of the reasons from the above articles. (在这项研究中，来自俄亥俄州立大学和斯坦福大学的研究人员对 1261 名美国人进行了在线调查。第一组阅读了一篇只给出学校为何应与另一所水源更好的学校合作的文章。第二组阅读了一篇只给出学校应保持独立并寻求其他解决问题办法的文章。第三组是对照组，阅读了上述文章中的所有理由。)”可知，该段主要讲述了调查的设计，包括分组情况以及每组阅读的内容。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Fletcher describes it as ‘The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know, which leads to overconfident decisions and judgments, when we are missing necessary information.’ (弗莱彻将其描述为‘我们大脑知道得越少，就越自信地认为自己知道了所需知道的一切，这会导致我们在缺少必要信息时做出过度自信的决策和判断。’)”可知，信息充足性错觉会导致人们过度自信。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“In a follow-up study with 100 readers from Group One and Group Two, the research tried to know what the participants did after hearing both sides. (在对来自第一组和第二组的 100 名读者进行的后续研究中，研究试图了解参与者在听到双方观点后做了什么。)”可知，后续研究关注的是参与者改变想法的过程。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the Illusion of Information Adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to pause and ask, ‘Is there something I’m overlooking that could help me understand their viewpoint better?’ This can help reduce interpersonal conflict. (根据弗莱彻的说法，当与某人意见不一致时，对抗信息充足性错觉的最佳方法之一是停下来问问自己，‘我是否忽略了一些能帮助我更好理解他们观点的东西？’这有助于减少人际冲突。)”可知，弗莱彻建议通过停下来考虑他人观点来减少冲突。故选D项。 D With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), it does much for people. But can you imagine the UK government is considering the use of AI in the justice system? Supporters claim it can simplify legal tasks, cut down mistakes, and speed up cases. They suggest AI should help analyze documents, forecast case results using past data, and even assist in drafting legal papers, easing lawyers’ workload. Youmna Hashem from the Alan Turing Institute and her team have said that 84% of the UK’s one billion yearly-interactions between citizens and the government could be done by AI. However, Vinija Jain and his team evaluated how AI judges ethically (伦理上) ambiguous actions, like stealing food due to hunger. Unlike humans, these AI systems lack understanding and sympathy, often finding people guilty in such cases, which could have negative effects on legal situations. Jain remarks that a human judge can announce “This is wrong, but given the current situation, it is forgivable.” But it is not something we can realistically envision for an AI judge. To address these concerns, the government is exploring an approach that AI supports rather than replacing human judgment. This would involve tight testing of AI systems before they are applied to legal practices or in courtrooms. Additionally, there is a push for being continuously monitored by legal experts to ensure that AI recommendations are sound and ethically correspond with the principles of justice. The debate over AI in the justice system is ongoing, with both sides presenting heated arguments. While the potential benefits of increasing efficiency and consistency are undeniable, the importance of preserving the human element in legal decision-making still cannot be ignored. As the UK government moves forward with its considerations, it will be crucial to strike a balance that takes advantage of the strengths of AI while safeguarding the fairness of the justice system. 12. What is a significant worry about AI in the justice system? A. AI is not open-minded. B. AI is not logical. C. AI is not tender-hearted. D. AI is not intelligent. 13. What does the underlined word “envision” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Participate. B. Expect. C. Analyse. D. Approach. 14. What does the government tend to do regarding the concerns about AI? A. To use AI in the justice system. B. To replace human judgement with AI. C. To employ AI with strict management. D. To protect legal decision-making against AI. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. AI’s Role in Legal Systems B. AI’s Limitations in Crime and Justice C. The Pros and Cons of AI in Justice system D. Automating Government Services with AI 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能在司法系统中的应用，并阐述了人工智能在司法系统中的应用的优势和劣势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, Vinija Jain and his team evaluated how AI judges ethically (伦理上) ambiguous actions, like stealing food due to hunger. Unlike humans, these AI systems lack understanding and sympathy, often finding people guilty in such cases, which could have negative effects on legal situations.( 然而，Vinija Jain和他的团队评估了人工智能如何判断道德上模棱两可的行为，比如因饥饿而偷食物。与人类不同，这些人工智能系统缺乏理解和同情，经常在这种情况下发现人们有罪，这可能对法律情况产生负面影响。)” 可知，对于在司法系统中使用人工智能的一个重大担忧是，人工智能系统缺乏理解和同情心，即不心软。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Jain remarks that a human judge can announce “This is wrong, but given the current situation, it is forgivable.” (Jain评论说，人类法官可以宣布“这是错误的，但考虑到目前的情况，这是可以原谅的。”)”以及划线单词句中“But it is not something we can realistically envision for an AI judge.(但这并不是我们可以实际envision人工智能法官的)”可知，此处为对于人工智能法官来说，“虽然有错误但可以原谅的”的判定不是我们能“期望”AI的事情。故可猜测划线单词envision为“期望，设想”的意思，和B选项Expect“期待，期望”意思相近。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“To address these concerns, the government is exploring an approach that AI supports rather than replacing human judgment. This would involve tight testing of AI systems before they are applied to legal practices or in courtrooms. Additionally, there is a push for being continuously monitored by legal experts to ensure that AI recommendations are sound and ethically correspond with the principles of justice.( 为了解决这些问题，政府正在探索一种人工智能支持而不是取代人类判断的方法。这将涉及在将人工智能系统应用于法律实践或法庭之前对其进行严格测试。此外，人们还在推动由法律专家持续监督，以确保人工智能的建议是合理的，并且在道德上符合正义原则。)”可知，政府倾向于在严格管理的情况下使用人工智能，即让人工智能起到支持作用而非取代人类判断，在应用前进行严格测试，并由法律专家持续监控。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“The debate over AI in the justice system is ongoing, with both sides presenting heated arguments. While the potential benefits of increasing efficiency and consistency are undeniable, the importance of preserving the human element in legal decision-making still cannot be ignored. As the UK government moves forward with its considerations, it will be crucial to strike a balance that takes advantage of the strengths of AI while safeguarding the fairness of the justice system(关于司法系统中人工智能的争论正在进行中，双方都提出了激烈的论点。虽然提高效率和一致性的潜在好处是不可否认的，但在法律决策中保留人的因素的重要性仍然不能忽视。随着英国政府推进其考虑，在利用人工智能优势的同时维护司法系统的公平性，取得平衡将是至关重要的。)”可知，文章第一段引出英国政府考虑在司法系统中使用人工智能这一话题，第二段讲述了支持者认为人工智能在司法系统中的好处，如简化法律任务、减少错误、加快案件处理等，第三、四段指出了人工智能在司法系统中存在的问题，如缺乏理解和同情心，第五段说明政府针对这些问题采取的措施，最后一段总结关于在司法系统中使用人工智能的争论仍在继续，既要看到其提高效率和一致性的潜在好处，也不能忽视法律决策中保留人类因素的重要性，所以文章主要讲的是人工智能在司法系统中的利弊。C选项“The Pros and Cons of AI in Justice system(人工智能在司法系统中的利弊)”，符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 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。 Positive thinking is a mental and emotional attitude that focuses on optimistic and positive thoughts and expects positive results.

The teacher assigned me to him. He couldn’t hear or talk, so he had his mom with him. She explained what professors were teaching in sign language. Sometimes I got caught staring at him and my friends teased me all day. I noticed him going everywhere all alone, with no friends at all. Sometimes I felt worried, maybe even concerned. We were assigned as lab partners and surprisingly he wasn’t as bad as I thought. We would both sit quietly and do our work. But when it came to communication and his translator wasn’t there, it was a mess. At first, I could barely understand what he was doing with his hands. I could see in his eyes that he was getting annoyed at me. From trying to communicate with sign language, he moved to pictures and words. That worked well for both of us, but my drawing skills were not as good as his, so I stuck to words and gestures. The second semester went by well and quickly. Daniel and I understood each other pretty well. I could understand some of his hand movements. I realized that Daniel was different from anyone I’d ever met, me included. Then he became my best friend and we both understood each other pretty well despite our differences. But it was a pity that Daniel still couldn’t get along well with other classmates because of his disability. At first, I thought Daniel didn’t care about this. However, one thing happened later changed my mind. That was Elly’s birthday which was on the school day. The whole class sang the happy birthday song and shared a big cake together. When we were all immersed in laughter and fragrance, I noticed the admiration in Daniel’s eyes, which really hurt me. Later I learned from his mom that he never celebrated his birthday with friends. Hearing that, I determined to do something for him. 注意： 1．续写短文词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Then came the chance. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One week later, Daniel’s birthday came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Then came the chance. As Daniel’s birthday was drawing near, I told the other classmates about it and we decided to prepare a special gift for him secretly — a birthday song in sign language. We browsed the Internet and downloaded a series of related videos to study secretly after school. The sign language was so difficult for us beginners, but none of us quitted. We thought it would worth the effort when Daniel saw our sincere “surprise”. Paragraph 2: One week later, Daniel’s birthday came. I covered Daniel’s eyes and led him into the classroom. When I put down my hands, he was surprised by the cake in the middle of the classroom and the celebration scrolls on the wall. Then the real “surprise” began. All the classmates stood in a row and began to sing the birthday song in sign language. Daniel’s mouth widened and tears blurred his vision. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all the classmates and from that day on, Daniel got on with all the classmates. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一个名叫丹尼尔的新同学，他听不见也说不出话，因此有他的妈妈陪伴。在与丹尼尔成为实验室伙伴的过程中，作者逐渐理解了丹尼尔的手语，并与他建立了深厚的友谊。尽管丹尼尔在班级中难以与其他同学交往，作者在得知丹尼尔从未和朋友一起庆祝过生日后，决定为他准备一个惊喜。在丹尼尔生日到来时，作者和同学们秘密学习了生日歌的手语，并在课堂上为他庆祝。丹尼尔对这个惊喜感动不已，从那时起，他与同学们的关系也得到了改善。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后机会来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和其他同学为丹尼尔准备一份特别的礼物——一首手语生日歌的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，丹尼尔的生日到了。”可知，第二段可描写丹尼尔对班上同学精心准备的生日派对感到惊奇以及他的感受。。 2.续写线索：机会来了——作者告诉其他同学——准备手语生日歌——丹尼尔的生日到了——对生日派对感到惊奇——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.决定做某事：decided to do/were determined to do ②放弃：quit /give up ③.与……相处：get on with/get along with 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised /amazed/ astonished ②.感激：gratitude /appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Most of us can’t live like Musk, the richest man in the world, but we can read like him. Musk recommended four books in 2024 - though some were published earlier. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams “This book highlights an important point that many times the questions are more difficult than answers. If you can express a question completely, the answer is actually quite simple. So if we can broaden the range of knowledge, that will be a good thing.” said Musk. Franklin: An American Life, by Walter Isaacson “He’s an entrepreneur,” Musk said. “He started with nothing. He was just a runaway kid. But such a man with nothing turned out to be the drafter of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. During his stay in France, he also received the support of France for the independence of the United States. Many other inventions and contributions to American society are too numerous to mention.” Super intelligence, by Nick Bostrom Nick Bostrom, from Oxford University’s Institute for the Future of Humanity, won high praise for this novel. This book suggests that the artificial intelligence of future computers will surpass human intelligence. After reading the book, Musk wrote on Twitter: We should be very careful about artificial intelligence, because it may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Howard Hughes, by Barrett & Steele “Howard is a famous filmmaker and aerospace powerful figure,” Musk said. “It is reading the biography of such a wild and unruly American historical figure that can give me so much interesting inspiration and humor. So, sometimes ideas don’t necessarily come from books on specialized subjects, and many of them are unusual. People tend to give us more unusual but wonderful ideas.” 1. If you are interested in inventions, whose book will you most probably choose? A. Douglas Adams. B. Walter Isaacson. C. Nick Bostrom. D. Barrett & Steele. 2. Which book gives Musk inspiration? A. Howard Hughes. B. Franklin: An American Life. C. Super intelligence. D. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. 3. What can be learned from the text? A. Douglas Adams stresses answers are hard. B. Franklin got the support of the United States. C. Musk gets inspiration from specialized subjects. D. The book Super intelligence was well received. B China’s new hit TV show To the Wonder has made Altay in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region a new trendy tourist destination among young people, who are attracted by the breathtaking views and the simple and heartwarming lives of the local residents. Adapted from Li Juan’s My Altay, the drama tells the story of Li Wenxiu, who returned to her hometown after career setbacks and found the meaning of life and her love there. The grassland views and free and easy lives showcased in the teleplay soon made Altay one of the top scenic spots. The travel website Qunar said that from May 7, flight ticket bookings to Altay rose 20 percent compared with the same period in the previous month, and hotel bookings doubled during the period on its platform. “The best travel season to Altay is usually from August to October, but its peak season will arrive earlier this year, around June, thanks to the impact of this trendy show,” said Huang Minghu, travel website Tuniu’s director for tour products in Xinjiang. He said that Altay enjoys great advantages in developing tourism, including its breathtaking grassland and lake views, and original and well-preserved villages. The place is also a popular skiing destination in winter. Wei Changren, founder of a tourism-related financial news website, said that Altay has not become famous overnight, but has long been a destination well-known for its natural beauty. However, it hasn’t been very popular because of long travel time and higher costs of accommodation. “It’s not that convenient to reach the place, as many big cities don’t have direct flights to Altay. Travelers may have to take buses or cars for hours after their flight, which is a problem,” he said. “But I believe the development of its tourism enjoys great prospects.” “Altay has different charms in summer and winter, and these distinct seasonal views are attractive to travelers. From my perspective, authorities in Altay can take the hit show as an opportunity and continue developing good tourism and cultural resources to attract travelers,” added Wei. 4. What can we learn about Altay from the first two paragraphs? A. It lacks breathtaking natural beauty. B. It has become a hot tourist attraction. C. It has no impact on the tourism industry. D. It made Li Juan find the meaningful life. 5. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the travel website Qunar? A. To analyze the patterns of tourism in Altay. B. To describe the tourism advantages of Altay. C. To prove the impact of TV show on tourism of Altay. D. To discuss the convenience of transportation in Altay. 6. What is the challenge in terms of Altay’s tourism development? A. Lack of beautiful natural scenery. B. Lack of direct flights from big cities. C. The increasing popularity of a teleplay. D. The increasing cost of accommodation. 7. What’s the basis of Altay as a tourism destination? A. Its free and easy lifestyle. B. The teleplay filmed there. C. The well-preserved villages. D. Its breathtaking seasonal views. C We often get into arguments with others and probably think we’re right, even if we don’t have all the facts. According to a recent psychology study, people tend to assume they have all of the information that they need to make decisions - even if they don’t. This is called the Illusion of Information Adequacy, as described in a PLOS ONE journal article on October 9th. In the study, researchers from Ohio State, Stanford, surveyed 1,261 Americans online. Group One read an article that only gave reasons why the school should cooperate with another that has better water. Group Two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group Three was the control group that read all of the reasons from the above articles. They found that the majority from Group One and Group Two still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the advice in the article they read. Those from Group One were significantly more likely to recommend the schools cooperate, while readers from Group Two were significantly more likely to recommend that the schools remain separate. About 55 percent of the control group recommend the schools cooperate. The participants who had half the information also said that they thought most people would make the same decision they did. The team calls this belief that we are correct - even when we don’t have all of the information - the Illusion of Information Adequacy. Fletcher describes it as “The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know, which leads to overconfident decisions and judgments, when we are missing necessary information.” In a follow-up study with 100 readers from Group One and Group Two, the research tried to know what the participants did after hearing both sides. At first, they shared arguments and reasoned together. Eventually, these arguments and reasoning resulted in them saying “That sounds right.” According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the Illusion of Information Adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to pause and ask, “Is there something I’m overlooking that could help me understand their viewpoint better?” This can help reduce interpersonal conflict. 8.

What does the Illusion of Information Adequacy lead to? A. Making decisions quickly. B. Feeling much too confident. C. Knowing enough information. D. Always agreeing with others. 10. What did the follow-up study focus on? A. The research result. B. The number of participants. C. The size of the groups. D. The process of changing minds. 11. What does Fletcher suggest to reduce conflict? A. Agreeing with others’ ideas. B. Focusing on new information. C. Ignoring deeply-held beliefs. D. Stopping to consider other views. D With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), it does much for people. But can you imagine the UK government is considering the use of AI in the justice system? Supporters claim it can simplify legal tasks, cut down mistakes, and speed up cases. They suggest AI should help analyze documents, forecast case results using past data, and even assist in drafting legal papers, easing lawyers’ workload. Youmna Hashem from the Alan Turing Institute and her team have said that 84% of the UK’s one billion yearly-interactions between citizens and the government could be done by AI. However, Vinija Jain and his team evaluated how AI judges ethically (伦理上) ambiguous actions, like stealing food due to hunger. Unlike humans, these AI systems lack understanding and sympathy, often finding people guilty in such cases, which could have negative effects on legal situations. Jain remarks that a human judge can announce “This is wrong, but given the current situation, it is forgivable.” But it is not something we can realistically envision for an AI judge. To address these concerns the government is exploring an approach that AI supports rather than replacing human judgment. This would involve tight testing of AI systems before they are applied to legal practices or in courtrooms. Additionally, there is a push for being continuously monitored by legal experts to ensure that AI recommendations are sound and ethically correspond with the principles of justice. The debate over AI in the justice system is ongoing, with both sides presenting heated arguments. While the potential benefits of increasing efficiency and consistency are undeniable, the importance of preserving the human element in legal decision-making still cannot be ignored. As the UK government moves forward with its considerations, it will be crucial to strike a balance that takes advantage of the strengths of AI while safeguarding the fairness of the justice system. 12. What is a significant worry about AI in the justice system? A. AI is not open-minded. B. AI is not logical. C. AI is not tender-hearted. D. AI is not intelligent. 13. What does the underlined word “envision” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Participate. B. Expect. C. Analyse. D. Approach. 14. What does the government tend to do regarding the concerns about AI? A. To use AI in the justice system. B. To replace human judgement with AI. C. To employ AI with strict management. D. To protect legal decision-making against AI. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. AI’s Role in Legal Systems B. AI’s Limitations in Crime and Justice C. The Pros and Cons of AI in Justice system D.

The teacher assigned me to him. He couldn’t hear or talk, so he had his mom with him. She explained what professors were teaching in sign language. Sometimes I got caught staring at him and my friends teased me all day. I noticed him going everywhere all alone, with no friends at all. Sometimes I felt worried, maybe even concerned. We were assigned as lab partners and surprisingly he wasn’t as bad as I thought. We would both sit quietly and do our work. But when it came to communication and his translator wasn’t there, it was a mess. At first, I could barely understand what he was doing with his hands. I could see in his eyes that he was getting annoyed at me. From trying to communicate with sign language, he moved to pictures and words. That worked well for both of us, but my drawing skills were not as good as his, so I stuck to words and gestures. The second semester went by well and quickly. Daniel and I understood each other pretty well. I could understand some of his hand movements. I realized that Daniel was different from anyone I’d ever met, me included. Then he became my best friend and we both understood each other pretty well despite our differences. But it was a pity that Daniel still couldn’t get along well with other classmates because of his disability. At first, I thought Daniel didn’t care about this. However, one thing happened later changed my mind. That was Elly’s birthday which was on the school day. The whole class sang the happy birthday song and shared a big cake together. When we were all immersed in laughter and fragrance, I noticed the admiration in Daniel’s eyes, which really hurt me. Later I learned from his mom that he never celebrated his birthday with friends. Hearing that, I determined to do something for him. 注意： 1．续写短文词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Then came the chance. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One week later, Daniel’s birthday came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CBBCC 6-10 BBABB 11-15 CABCB 16-20 BABAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
