And this year is no different. Here are the best resorts (旅游胜地) to bed down in the Alps this season. Experimental Chalet, Val d’Isère France’s ski resort welcomes the newest hotel offering from the Experimental cocktail group. With the rebuilding of this lodge, you’ll find two new restaurants, a spa and a cocktail bar. In a resort filled with après-ski, this looks set to stand in a class of its own. From €423 (£356) per night, room only. The Brecon, Adelboden Welsh chef Bryn Williams opened a restaurant here in the Swiss Alps a few years ago. Run in summer 2024, the Brecon rewards visitors with a 1960s style, a panoramic (全景的) living room, outdoor pool and kitchen. It also provides access to the valley’s three ski areas. From €650 (£580) per night, all-inclusive. Eriro, Ehrwalder Alm On the fringe (边缘) of the busy Austrian Tyrol resorts is hardly-heard-of Ehrwalder Alm. Accessible only by cable-car, Eriro is the resort’s only ski in, ski out hotel. Add in guided nature hikes and you’ll find it all wonderfully distinct from the traditional Austrian resort. From €1,550 (£1,300) per night, all-inclusive. Der Böglerhof, Alpbach This hotel near beautiful Alpbach has a timeless devotion to health and well-being. The valley’s great place to stay has also had a makeover (翻新), with a new wellness complex, outdoor pool, yoga studio and expanded family spa. And around it all is the peaceful 70-mile Ski area. From €340 (£290) per night, B&B. 1. What do Experimental Chalet and The Brecon have in common? A. They are new and have been reconstructed. B. The visitors can enjoy food in their restaurants. C. The visitors can participate in guided nature hikes. D. The expense of skiing is included in the room rate. 2. Which hotel best suits people who value health? A. Experimental Chalet. B. Eriro. C. Der Böglerhof. D. The Brecon. 3. From which website can we find the article? A. http://www.science.com. B. http://www.economist.com. C. http://www.healthcare.com. D. http://www.nationalgeographic.com. B In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eye proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegansaid. However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said. Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ on her resume. Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said. When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter. 4. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013? A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship. C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction. 5 What led to Deegan’s decision to start a baking business? A. Receiving encouragement from friends. B. Seeing people running to get cookies. C. Working previously in the baking industry. D. Wanting desperately to gain total control. 6. What makes Deegan’s hiring approach unique? A. She values employees who love baking. B. She offers training to inexperienced workers. C. She hires people eager to work despite their past. D. She prioritizes creativity over qualifications. 7. What can be a suitable title for this text? A. Overcoming Addiction: A New Beginning of Life B. From Struggle to Success: A Story of Rebuilding Life C. Pie Crust Cookies: The Key to Success D. The Art of Baking: Turning Life Around C Cristina Mittermeier, a pioneering (开创性的) photographer, cares about nature and wants to protect it. Her lens (镜头) inspires action and offers hope. Mittermeier’s love for nature began early. This love led her to study marine (海洋的) biology, a field she focused on with the dream of studying whales at first. But soon she saw the damaging effects of industrial fishing, which caused a change in her career (职业). “What I wanted to do was try my best to call on the whole world to understand how easily the oceans can be destroyed.” she explained. Science, while necessary, felt not enough to influence a larger population. Photography became her chosen tool. She has invented her work a form of “visual medicine”, balancing the seriousness of environmental problems with a call to action. Her ideas for helping nature are practical and include listening to what local people know and how they live with the environment. Mittermeier’s latest book Hope shows her efforts in environmental protection. By working with people from all over the world to create the book, she turned it into a group effort instead of just her own. The book’s 130 photographs, covering twenty years, are displayed (展示) not by geography or species, but by themes that tell the story of life on our planet. Through her work, Mittermeier continually attaches importance to the role of youth in reshaping the planet’s future, Visual storytelling, she argues, is likely to encourage young people to take action quickly — not through fear but by directing attention to finding means of solving problems and celebrating victories (胜利), however small. Cristina Mittermeier’s life shows the great power of art with a purpose. Her lens catches not just what is but what could be, urging us all to act toward a future where people and nature can live peacefully. 8. What caused a change in Mittermeier’s career? A. Her interest in nature. B. Her love for photography. C. The power of science. D. The alarming scene of industrial fishing. 9. Which of the following can best describe Mittermeier? A. Creative and inspiring B. Curious and independent. C. Hardworking and calm. D. Energetic and humorous. 10. What can we learn about Hope? A. It focuses on present-day photos. B. It talks about the same species. C. It is created through shared efforts. D. It is a story book for children. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Cristina Mittermeier: Photography Inspires Action B. Cristina Mittermeier: Dreams Come True C. Environmental Protection: Ocean Has Artistic Beauty D. Environmental Protection: Measures Come First D There is already much evidence that volunteering benefits adults’ physical and mental health. Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents. A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50,000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious. Admittedly, those findings are only correlations (相关性). “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. A 2021 report warned that the percentage of young people suffering from constant sadness or hopelessness had increased by 40 percent over the previous decade. When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution” - providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal - as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. “Part of the exploration of adolescence and young adulthood is figuring out where you can be needed and useful - arguably key aspects of our mental health,” says developmental psychologist Andrew Fuligni. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community. However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. Thus, adults can help by offering choices and by vetting (审查) volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience. 12. What does Lanza think about the findings in 2023? A. They are valuable and worth further exploration. B. They discover teenagers face more mental health issues. C. They show volunteering increases adults’ overall well-being. D. They prove the willingness to volunteer determines children’s health. 13. How does “contribution” address adolescents’ mental problems? A. By curing them of the mental problems. B. By helping them gain praise and support. C. By enabling them to find a sense of purpose. D. By meeting the need of more volunteers now. 14. Who may suffer from volunteering according to the text? A. John, a disabled boy who did community service work. B. Taylor, a black girl who was praised for helping others. C. Tom, a kind child who helped in a school as a volunteer. D. Jessica, a high school student who hesitated to volunteer. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of doing voluntary working. B. The approach to volunteering by contributing. C. The seriousness of adolescents’ mental health issues. D. The impact of volunteering on adolescents’ mental health. E Automation(自动化)is increasingly affecting many fields, causing debates like“Are Robots Coming for Your Job?” While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea. For example, at Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI has been developed to produce beautiful, original paintings. Similarly, Amper Music offers AI-driven music creation services. Users can choose the instruments, speed, and length of the piece, and the software produces an original piece that is also "performed"and "mixed"by AI. Amper's software is great at creating background music suitable for reality TV shows, online videos, and student films. It focuses on the market for ready-made music.These Al-created art and music are polished and attractive, but they raise important questions: What is the value of art when it can be produced in large quantities without human effort? Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity — there is only one original. In contrast, Amper can create a new high-quality music piece every time you click, and Elgammal's AI painter can produce thousands of unique artworks rapidly. This situation creates a mixed world where art remains unique yet easily produced.It makes us wonder whether people should pay for such works and what their prices should be. This issue is real, not imaginary. Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers(作曲家).However, there have been reports that Spotify's playlists included music from artists who don't actually exist, possibly allowing Spotify to avoid paying royalties (版税).While Spotify says the tracks were created by real people using fake(假的)names, there are still worries about whether AI could be used to produce free music,which could harm human musicians. As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys? 16. What challenges the idea that creativity and artistic taste are unique to human beings? A. Robots doing physical tasks. B. AI making progress. C. Robots learning to debate. D. AI knowing painting. 17. What does the underlined word"scarcity"in paragraph 4 mean? A. Having high quality. B. Being extremely hard to get. C Having natural beauty. D. Being impossible to copy 18. What does Francois Pachet do at Spotify? A. Creating playlists. B. Producing free music. C. Paying royalties. D. Creating tools to help musicians. 19. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Confidence of humans'artistic ability B. Ways to promote AI-created art. C. Concerns about using AI in creative fields. D. The need for AI with human feelings. 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。 What makes great storytelling for film? There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it. One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming. ___20___ The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. ___21___ If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view. With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. ___22___ Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. ___23___ As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie? What do they like doing and what interests them? ___24___ That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistics from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to. All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic. A. The end involves the issues being resolved. B. Don’t forget to focus on character development. C. In the modern world everything moves at a fast speed. D. If so, that desire can be ten times stronger in your film. E. But they have a structure that isn’t too confusing to follow. F. Doing market research will help you revise your film’s screenplay. G. Making choices about the timing of events can heighten their impact. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was having a hard time trying to find work.

She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eye proved to be difficult. “I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn’t really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegansaid. However, baking was something that always brought her joy as a child. One day while helping out in the neighborhood, Deegan picked up a handheld mixer and started baking. “My life was just out of control, but baking is such a controlled thing, where if you take the right steps and follow the directions, you’ll get a pretty exact result,” she said. Deegan started bringing her homemade baked cookies to people’s homes, which helped her reconnect with people. “Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said. However, she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old. She had no real work experience and she couldn’t put ‘quit drinking’ on her resume. Deegan’s life shifted in 2015. Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017. She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe, which has since become the bread and butter of her business. “People have been walking, running and lining up to get cookies, and it’s just been so magical seeing that,” she said. When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system. “You just have to walk through the door and be ready, willing and able and excited to show up and work and you’ ve got a job,” Deegan told the reporter. 4. What was Deegan mainly struggling with in 2013? A. Emotion management. B. Interpersonal relationship. C. Work-life balance. D. Alcohol addiction. 5. What led to Deegan’s decision to start a baking business? A. Receiving encouragement from friends. B. Seeing people running to get cookies. C. Working previously in the baking industry. D. Wanting desperately to gain total control. 6. What makes Deegan’s hiring approach unique? A. She values employees who love baking. B. She offers training to inexperienced workers. C. She hires people eager to work despite their past. D. She prioritizes creativity over qualifications. 7. What can be a suitable title for this text? A. Overcoming Addiction: A New Beginning of Life B. From Struggle to Success: A Story of Rebuilding Life C. Pie Crust Cookies: The Key to Success D. The Art of Baking: Turning Life Around 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Deegan在战胜酗酒问题后，通过烘焙找到了生活的乐趣和新的职业方向，并成功创业的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In 2013, Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking. She did quit, but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people. Even looking someone in the eye proved to be difficult.(2013年，Deegan在成功戒酒之后，努力想要掌控自己的生活。她确实戒掉了酒，但在重新与人建立联系方面却困难重重。甚至连直视别人的眼睛对她来说都很艰难。)”可知，Deegan在成功戒酒之后，在重新与人建立联系方面存在困难，连直视别人眼睛都很艰难，这说明她主要面临的是人际关系方面的困扰。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Encouraged by her friends, she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie. She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017.(在朋友们的鼓励下，她挑战自己，看看能否卖出一个派。结果她卖出了几十个！她从自己狭小的公寓里开始烘焙，最终在2017年创办了一家正式的企业。)”可知，Deegan在朋友的鼓励下，挑战自己卖派，并且卖出去很多，之后才开始从公寓烘焙并最终创办正式企业，所以是朋友的鼓励促使她决定开始烘焙生意。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“When she needs more help, Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work, even if they don’t have any experience. After her own struggle, she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set. And she became a second-chance employer, hiring women out of prison or the shelter system.(Deegan表示，当她需要更多人手时，她会寻找任何对工作充满热情的人，即便他们没有任何经验。经历过自己的挣扎后，她意识到，工作的热情比拥有特定技能更重要。她成为了一位给予第二次机会的雇主，雇佣刚从监狱出来或身处庇护所的女性。)”可知，Deegan招聘时，会寻找那些对工作充满热情的人，即便他们没有经验，甚至会雇佣刚从监狱出来或身处庇护所的人，即她不在意应聘者的过去，只要他们渴望工作，这体现了她招聘方式的独特性。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章讲述了Deegan戒酒之后，在重新融入生活、寻找职业等方面经历挣扎，她通过烘焙重新与他人建立联系，并在朋友鼓励下开启烘焙生意，最终取得成功，整个过程是从困境走向成功，重建生活的故事。选项B“From Struggle to Success: A Story of Rebuilding Life(从挣扎到成功：一个重建生活的故事)”概括了文章内容。故选B。 C Cristina Mittermeier, a pioneering (开创性的) photographer, cares about nature and wants to protect it. Her lens (镜头) inspires action and offers hope. Mittermeier’s love for nature began early. This love led her to study marine (海洋的) biology, a field she focused on with the dream of studying whales at first. But soon she saw the damaging effects of industrial fishing, which caused a change in her career (职业). “What I wanted to do was try my best to call on the whole world to understand how easily the oceans can be destroyed.” she explained. Science, while necessary, felt not enough to influence a larger population. Photography became her chosen tool. She has invented her work a form of “visual medicine”, balancing the seriousness of environmental problems with a call to action. Her ideas for helping nature are practical and include listening to what local people know and how they live with the environment. Mittermeier’s latest book Hope shows her efforts in environmental protection. By working with people from all over the world to create the book, she turned it into a group effort instead of just her own. The book’s 130 photographs, covering twenty years, are displayed (展示) not by geography or species, but by themes that tell the story of life on our planet. Through her work, Mittermeier continually attaches importance to the role of youth in reshaping the planet’s future, Visual storytelling, she argues, is likely to encourage young people to take action quickly — not through fear but by directing attention to finding means of solving problems and celebrating victories (胜利), however small. Cristina Mittermeier’s life shows the great power of art with a purpose. Her lens catches not just what is but what could be, urging us all to act toward a future where people and nature can live peacefully. 8. What caused a change in Mittermeier’s career? A. Her interest in nature. B. Her love for photography. C. The power of science. D. The alarming scene of industrial fishing. 9. Which of the following can best describe Mittermeier? A. Creative and inspiring B. Curious and independent. C. Hardworking and calm. D. Energetic and humorous. 10. What can we learn about Hope? A. It focuses on present-day photos. B. It talks about the same species. C. It is created through shared efforts. D. It is a story book for children. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Cristina Mittermeier: Photography Inspires Action B. Cristina Mittermeier: Dreams Come True C. Environmental Protection: Ocean Has Artistic Beauty D. Environmental Protection: Measures Come First 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了摄影师克里斯蒂娜·米特梅耶对自然的热爱以及她通过镜头记录自然、呼吁人们保护环境的努力和贡献。她不仅关注环境问题，还通过发明“视觉疗法”、出版书籍以及重视青年人在重塑地球未来中的作用等方式，激励人们采取行动，共同创造一个人与自然和谐共存的未来。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“But soon she saw the damaging effects of industrial fishing, which caused a change in her career.(但很快她就看到了工业化捕鱼的破坏性影响，这导致了她职业生涯的改变)”可知，是工业捕鱼的破坏性影响导致了Mittermeier职业的改变。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Her lens (镜头) inspires action and offers hope.(她的镜头激发了行动，带来了希望。)”可知，Mittermeier的镜头能激发行动并带来希望，这表明她的作品具有启发性和鼓舞人心的特点。以及第三段中“She has invented her work a form of “visual medicine”, balancing the seriousness of environmental problems with a callto action. Her ideas for helping nature are practical and include listening to what local people know and how they live with the environment.(她发明了一种“视觉医学”形式的作品，在环境问题的严重性与呼吁行动之间取得平衡。她帮助自然的想法是实用的，包括倾听当地人的知识以及他们如何与环境共存。)”可知，此处描述了她发明了一种“视觉医学”的工作形式，通过这种形式的作品在环境问题的严重性与呼吁行动之间取得平衡，由此体现了她的创造性。因此，选项A“Creative and inspiring(有创造力和鼓舞人心的)”最能描述Mittermeier。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“By working with people from all over the world to create the book, she turned it into a group effort instead of just her own. (通过与来自世界各地的人合作创作这本书，她把它变成了一个团队的努力，而不仅仅是她自己。)”可知，Mittermeier通过与来自世界各地的人们合作创作《Hope》这本书，将它变成了一项集体努力的结果。因此，我们可以了解到《Hope》是通过共同努力创造出来的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了摄影师Cristina Mittermeier如何通过她的镜头关注自然、记录环境现状，并通过她的作品激发人们对环境保护的行动和希望。因此，A选项“Cristina Mittermeier: Photography Inspires Action (Cristina Mittermeier：摄影激发行动)”最能概括文章的主旨大意。故选A。 D There is already much evidence that volunteering benefits adults’ physical and mental health. Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents. A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50,000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious. Admittedly those findings are only correlations (相关性). “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. A 2021 report warned that the percentage of young people suffering from constant sadness or hopelessness had increased by 40 percent over the previous decade. When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution” - providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal - as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. “Part of the exploration of adolescence and young adulthood is figuring out where you can be needed and useful - arguably key aspects of our mental health,” says developmental psychologist Andrew Fuligni. Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community. However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. Thus, adults can help by offering choices and by vetting (审查) volunteer opportunities to be sure that organizations are well run and equipped to offer a good experience. 12. What does Lanza think about the findings in 2023? A. They are valuable and worth further exploration. B. They discover teenagers face more mental health issues. C. They show volunteering increases adults’ overall well-being. D. They prove the willingness to volunteer determines children’s health. 13. How does “contribution” address adolescents’ mental problems? A. By curing them of the mental problems. B. By helping them gain praise and support. C. By enabling them to find a sense of purpose. D. By meeting the need of more volunteers now. 14. Who may suffer from volunteering according to the text? A. John, a disabled boy who did community service work. B. Taylor, a black girl who was praised for helping others. C. Tom, a kind child who helped in a school as a volunteer. D. Jessica, a high school student who hesitated to volunteer. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of doing voluntary working. B. The approach to volunteering by contributing. C. The seriousness of adolescents’ mental health issues. D. The impact of volunteering on adolescents’ mental health. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了年轻人从事志愿服务与其心理健康之间的关系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Admittedly, those findings are only correlations. “It could be that the children who were volunteering were already in great health,” says study co-leader Kevin Lanza. But because of an alarming rise in mental health issues among young people, he believes that the early findings are promising enough to dig into. (诚然，这些发现只是相关性。该研究的共同负责人凯文·兰扎说：“可能是那些参加志愿活动的孩子们已经非常健康了。”但由于年轻人中心理健康问题的惊人增长，他相信早期的发现是有希望深入研究的。)”可知，凯文·兰扎认为2023年的研究发现说明了参加志愿活动与青少年身体健康之间存在相关性，是有价值的，并且值得进一步研究。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When looking for ways to address it, researchers point to the role of “contribution”- providing support or resources to others or helping to achieve a shared goal - as an important piece of social and emotional development for adolescents. Young people have a developmental need to connect and belong. (在寻找解决方法时，研究人员指出，“贡献”的作用——为他人提供支持或资源，或帮助实现共同的目标——是青少年社会和情感发展的重要组成部分。年轻人有联系和归属感的发展需求。)”及第五段“Volunteering is one good way young people can contribute. The importance of mattering to others and to the larger world translates really well to the needs of adolescents to have a meaningful role to play in their community. (志愿服务是年轻人可以做出贡献的一个好方法。对他人和更大的世界的重要性很好地转化为青少年在他们的社区中扮演有意义的角色的需求。)”可知，通过为他人做出贡献，即参与志愿服务，青少年找到了目标感和归属感，从而有助于他们的心理健康。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, there may be a potential disadvantage of volunteering. Scientists have found that young people’s mental health can suffer if they feel their contributions are thought lowly of because of their sex, racial or ethnic identity or they are forced to participate. (然而，志愿服务可能有一个潜在的缺点。科学家发现，如果年轻人觉得自己的贡献因为性别、种族或民族身份而被轻视，或者他们被迫参与，他们的心理健康就会受到影响。)”可知，被迫参与是影响年轻人参与志愿活动的一个因素，故在志愿服务上犹豫不决的高中生杰西卡可能会遭受志愿服务的痛苦。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is already much evidence that volunteering benefits adults’ physical and mental health. Now, scientists have found similar links to both physical and mental health in adolescents. (已经有很多证据表明，志愿服务有益于成年人的身心健康。现在，科学家们在青少年的身体和心理健康方面都发现了类似的联系。)”及第二段“A 2023 analysis found that among more than 50,000 adolescents in the National Survey of Children’s Health, young people who had participated in community service or had volunteered over the previous 12 months were more likely to be in good health and stayed calm and in control when faced with challenges, and the adolescents were less likely to be anxious. (2023年的一项分析发现，在全国儿童健康调查中，在5万多名青少年中，在过去的12个月里参加过社区服务或志愿服务的年轻人更有可能身体健康，在面对挑战时保持冷静和控制，青少年不太可能焦虑。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了志愿服务对青少年心理健康的影响。故选D项。 E Automation(自动化)is increasingly affecting many fields, causing debates like“Are Robots Coming for Your Job?” While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea. For example, at Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI has been developed to produce beautiful, original paintings. Similarly, Amper Music offers AI-driven music creation services. Users can choose the instruments, speed, and length of the piece, and the software produces an original piece that is also "performed"and "mixed"by AI. Amper's software is great at creating background music suitable for reality TV shows, online videos, and student films. It focuses on the market for ready-made music.These Al-created art and music are polished and attractive, but they raise important questions: What is the value of art when it can be produced in large quantities without human effort? Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity — there is only one original. In contrast, Amper can create a new high-quality music piece every time you click, and Elgammal's AI painter can produce thousands of unique artworks rapidly. This situation creates a mixed world where art remains unique yet easily produced.It makes us wonder whether people should pay for such works and what their prices should be. This issue is real, not imaginary. Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers(作曲家).However, there have been reports that Spotify's playlists included music from artists who don't actually exist, possibly allowing Spotify to avoid paying royalties (版税).While Spotify says the tracks were created by real people using fake(假的)names, there are still worries about whether AI could be used to produce free music,which could harm human musicians. As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys? 16. What challenges the idea that creativity and artistic taste are unique to human beings? A. Robots doing physical tasks. B. AI making progress. C. Robots learning to debate. D. AI knowing painting. 17. What does the underlined word"scarcity"in paragraph 4 mean? A. Having high quality. B. Being extremely hard to get. C. Having natural beauty. D. Being impossible to copy 18. What does Francois Pachet do at Spotify? A. Creating playlists. B. Producing free music. C. Paying royalties. D. Creating tools to help musicians. 19. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Confidence of humans'artistic ability B. Ways to promote AI-created art. C. Concerns about using AI in creative fields. D. The need for AI with human feelings. 【答案】16. B 17. B 18. D 19. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇探讨自动化尤其是人工智能在艺术和音乐领域影响的说明文。文章指出随着人工智能的发展，其在艺术创作方面取得进展，这对人类独有的创造力和艺术品味观念构成挑战，并引发了关于艺术价值、版权以及人类与机器创作作品受重视程度等诸多问题的讨论。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea.(虽然许多人认为创造力和艺术品味仍然是人类独有的，但人工智能（AI）的进步挑战了这一观点)”可知，是人工智能的进步对 “创造力和艺术品味是人类独有的” 这一观点构成挑战。故选B项。 【17题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity —there is only one original.(以《蒙娜丽莎》为例：它的价值部分来自于它的scarcity—— 原作只有一幅)”可知，“原作只有一幅” ，可以推断出，这里 “scarcity” 指的是极其难以获得，因为数量极少。故选 B项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers (作曲家).( Spotify 最近吸引了曾在索尼工作的人工智能研究员Francois Pachet，让他为人类作曲家开发工具)”可知，Francois Pachet 在 Spotify 的工作是为作曲家开发工具。故选D项。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys?( 随着机器和技术开始取代众多工作岗位，就连艺术和音乐这类创造性领域也受到了影响。这引发了一系列问题，比如是否需要制定规则或成立组织来保护艺术家，以及社会是否会一如既往地更看重人类创作的艺术，而非机器创作的作品。归根结底，我们必须考虑人工智能在艺术和音乐领域所产生的影响 —— 当一件由人工智能创作的作品荣获格莱美奖这类奖项时，究竟该认可谁的成就)”可知，整段围绕着人工智能在创意领域（艺术和音乐）应用所引发的一系列担忧展开，如对艺术家的保护、人类与机器创作作品受重视程度以及奖项认可等问题。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。 What makes great storytelling for film?
