Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones (无人机). Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 4. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life. C. Simplicity is outdated in modern times. D. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. 5. Thoreau escaped to the woods because ________. A. he was abandoned by society B. he enjoyed adventures in the forest C. he tried to prove his independence D. he was fed up with busy industrial life 6. Why are smartphones and social media mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To discuss the effect of modernization. B. To illustrate men’s heavy reliance on tools. C. To highlight the extensive use of technology. D. To show the convenience of technological tools. 7. What does the author think of his ways of simplifying life? A. Amusing. B. Exciting. C. Satisfying. D. Challenging. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过Henry David Thoreau的故事探讨了科技给生活带来了什么，说明应该适当简化生活，让生活更有意义。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第三段“Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”.(Thoreau厌倦了这段时间不断的忙碌，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。他只带了生活必需品，并把这次冒险写成了他的书《瓦尔登湖》。在书中，Thoreau基本上是在做一个哲学陈述。由于现代科技，我们没有过上有意义的生活。我们创造了强大的机器，使生活更方便。不幸的是，这些机器起到了相反的作用。用他的话来说，“人类已经成为工具的工具”)”可知，Thoreau提倡简单生活，认为现代技术让生活不便利，反而控制了我们。由此推知，Thoreau认为在科技驱动的世界中简单生活是可能的，并且付诸实践。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden.(Thoreau厌倦了这段时间不断的忙碌，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。他只带了生活必需品，并把这次冒险写成了他的书《瓦尔登湖》)”可知，他厌倦了忙碌的工业生活，离开城市去了树林。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion.(也就是说，我们不是控制技术的人。技术正在控制我们。每隔几分钟，智能手机就会被短信分散我们的注意力。至少有一半的美国人一个小时要看好几次手机。与此同时，来自社交媒体的信息过载会削弱我们的注意力，加剧困惑)”可知，这一段在举例说明技术如何控制我们，比如手机不断分散注意力，信息过载。由此推知，本段提到智能手机和社交媒体是为了说明人对工具的依赖。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life.(当科技造成如此多的分心和混乱时，通过减少过度使用科技来简化生活可能是健康的。就我个人而言，我以两种方式做到这一点。首先，我在手机上使用很少的数据，并尽量减少手机上的应用程序。大多数时候，我只用手机打电话或发短信。其次，我退出了大多数社交媒体。当然，这两件事并不像梭罗躲进树林那样极端。然而，这些都是我可以朝着更有意义的生活迈出的现实的一步)”可知，作者认为他简化生活的方式是健康的，是有意义的。由此推知，作者认为他简化生活的方法令人满意。故选C。 C Teenagers who have close, secure relationships with their families are more likely to extend empathy (同理心) to their peers, according to a new study. The study, conducted at the University of Virginia’s Adolescent Research Group, followed 174 adolescents from the ages of 14 to 18 to track their progress annually. At age 14, researchers interviewed the teens regarding their family relationships using a modified version of the Adult Attachment Interview, which is considered the “gold standard” of assessing one’s attachment state of mind. Jessica Stern, lead author of the study, said this motivated the teens to share descriptions and stories about their families. Researchers paid attention to not only what the teens said but also how they expressed it. After these initial interviews, researchers went back to the participants at ages 16, 17 and 18 and observed their interactions with a close friend. The researchers noted how the participants responded when their friend presented a problem and revealed it to them, assessing the participants’ extension of empathy. Teens who had more secure family relationships showed higher empathy toward their friends at ages 16 and 17 than less secure teens. It’s not all bad news, though, because the less secure teens “caught up” in their empathic behavior by age 18. This is cause for hope, Stern said, because it may indicate that those empathic skills can develop over time for adolescents who don’t have great relationships at home. Having strong friendships or a trusted teacher might make an impact on insecure teens’ empathy. More research is being conducted on this particular group of participants, who are now in their mid-30s. The researchers are interested in seeing how the empathic abilities they examined in the teens now shape their romantic relationships and parenting behavior as adults. Being able to pick up on other people’s emotions and see from their point of view is important “for a variety of other things that we consider success in the world,” Stern said. For parents and even teachers, Stern advises understanding the necessity of empathy and really investing in relationships with teens. Providing models of empathic behavior, including treating others with kindness, respect and support, can help adolescents internalize that behavior. 8. What do we know about the research? A. It was a long-term study. B. It revealed gender differences. C. It involved big data analysis. D. It explored problem-solving strategies. 9. What can be inferred about the less secure teens during the study? A. They showed a decline in empathy. B. They became more eager for empathy. C. They maintained consistent levels of empathy. D. They initially struggled but improved in empathy. 10. What would help adolescents develop empathy according to the last paragraph? A. Demonstrating empathy in action. B. Rewarding their progress in empathy. C. Engaging them in classroom discussions. D. Monitoring their interpersonal relationships. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. The power of empathy for future success. B. Teenagers’ empathy linked to family bonds. C. The impact of friendship on adolescent empathy. D. Attachment theory and teens’ empathy development. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明家庭关系紧密稳固的青少年更具同理心，且部分青少年同理心可随时间发展，还强调了培养青少年同理心的方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The study, conducted at the University of Virginia’s Adolescent Research Group, followed 174 adolescents from the ages of 14 to 18 to track their progress annually.(这项由弗吉尼亚大学青少年研究小组进行的研究，跟踪了 174 名年龄在 14 岁至 18 岁之间的青少年，并每年追踪他们的进展情况。)”以及第四段第一句“More research is being conducted on this particular group of participants, who are now in their mid-30s.(目前正在对这一特定的参与者群体进行更多的研究，他们现在都已步入30多岁。)”可知，这项研究从青少年时期一直持续到他们30多岁，是一项长期的研究。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“Teens who had more secure family relationships showed higher empathy toward their friends at ages 16 and 17 than less secure teens.(与家庭关系不太稳固的青少年相比，在16岁和17岁时，家庭关系更稳固的青少年对朋友表现出更高的同理心。)”以及第四句“It’s not all bad news, though, because the less secure teens ‘caught up’ in their empathic behavior by age 18.(不过，这也不全是坏消息，因为到18岁时，家庭关系不太稳固的青少年在同理心行为方面‘赶上了’。)”可知，家庭关系不太稳固的青少年一开始在同理心方面表现不如家庭关系稳固的青少年，但到18岁时有所改善。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Providing models of empathic behavior, including treating others with kindness, respect and support, can help adolescents internalize that behavior.(提供同理心行为的榜样，包括以友善、尊重和支持的态度对待他人，可以帮助青少年将这种行为内化。)”可知，通过实际行动展示同理心有助于青少年发展同理心。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Teenagers who have close, secure relationships with their families are more likely to extend empathy (同理心) to their peers, according to a new study.(一项新的研究表明，与家人关系亲密、稳固的青少年更有可能对同龄人表现出同理心。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了青少年的同理心与家庭关系之间的联系。所以B选项Teenagers’ empathy linked to family bonds(青少年的同理心与家庭纽带相关) 符合文意。故选B项。 D Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic (诊断的) accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52% of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. “While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” In this study, participants were placed into settings as mock (模拟的) patients and asked whether and under what circumstances they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In the first phase, researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic (社会经济学的) groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split (分开), with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference and about 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed that their primary care physician felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity did not affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I really feel this study has the importance for national reach. It will guide many future studies and clinical transitional decisions even now,” Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 12. What can we infer about AI treatment from Paragraph 2? A. Further clinical research is required. B. Its benefits remain to be confirmed. C. It can ensure a good listening patient experience. D. Physician involvement will increase patients’ acceptance. 13. What may affect participants’ preference for AI treatment according to the research? A. Their sensitivity to AI’s value. B. The questions they were asked. C. The access to the physicians. D. Their personal backgrounds. 14. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Attempt. B. Responsibility. C. Impression. D. Opportunity. 15. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems D. Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项患者对于在医疗诊断与治疗中使用人工智能态度的研究，通过实验的过程来说明新的科学研究发现及其启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.”(“虽然许多患者似乎对使用人工智能有抵触情绪，但信息的准确性、鼓励和倾听的患者体验可能有助于提高接受度。” 该研究的负责人马文·斯皮安说，“为了确保人工智能的好处在临床实践中得到保障，未来需要对医生纳入和患者决策的最佳方法进行研究。”)”可知，医生的参与会增加患者对人工智能治疗的接受程度。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic (社会经济学的) groups using a blinded, randomized survey. (在第二阶段，研究人员采用盲法随机调查，调查了不同民族、种族和社会经济群体的2472名参与者。)”可知，在第二阶段，研究的参与者来自不同背景。再根据第六段“Disease severity did not affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. (疾病严重程度不影响参与者对人工智能的信任。与白人参与者相比，黑人参与者选择人工智能的频率更低，而美国原住民选择人工智能的频率更高。年龄较大的参与者不太可能选择人工智能，那些自认为是政治保守派的人也是如此。这些发现表明，不同的群体将需要特定的敏感性和注意力，以告知他们人工智能在提高诊断方面的价值和有用性。)”可知，参与者的种族、年龄和政治倾向等个人背景因素对其对人工智能治疗的偏好产生了影响。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care. (并继续保持和提高人工智能系统的准确性，因为它们将在未来的医疗保健中发挥越来越大的作用。)”可知，保持和提高人工智能系统的准确性的医生和其他医疗保健人员，所以医生和其他医疗保健人员有责任确保人工智能系统中的信息准确。所以划线词onus的意思是“责任”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文属于研究报告。第一、二段为研究发现；第三至第六段为主干，以实验研究过程为线索，通过对比法得出结论；最后一段为研究启示。根据第一、二段研究发现可知，文章主要介绍的是一项患者对医疗诊断与治疗中使用人工智能的态度的研究。所以“The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients(对人工智能的信任：患者之间的分歧)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。 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。 Wales, a country known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich history, is home to unique traditions that reflect its Celtic heritage.

I recently had a personal experience that reminded me of this during a particularly challenging week. My week had been filled with problems, from work-related stress to unexpected bills and broken items. By the time I needed to go to the store for a few essentials, I was already feeling overwhelmed and at my breaking point. Despite my desire to just go home and relax, I made the trip across town to the store. When I arrived, I found the parking lot packed, which only added to my frustration. To make matters worse, the person next to my intended parking spot seemed to think their small car was entitled (有资格) to take up two spaces. After finally finding a spot, I realized that I had left my purse, including my debit card (借记卡) and checkbook (支票簿), at home. Fortunately, I had a small amount of cash and my coupon (优惠券) book, so I decided to go inside and make the best of it. The store was bustling with people, but I managed to find the items I needed and got in line to check out. However, the line seemed to move at a snail’s pace, and my patience was wearing thin. As I waited, I couldn’t help but feel my stress levels rising. That’s when I noticed an old lady standing behind me in line. She seemed to sense my anxiety and cast a kind smile at me. I awkwardly returned the smile and continued to wait. After a seemingly endless wait, it was finally my turn to check out. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右：2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, what happened next was out of my expectation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I was about to return for more cash, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, what happened next was out of my expectation. As the cashier scanned my items, I discovered that the total cost exceeded the amount of cash I had on hand. Embarrassment and confusion filled me as I attempted to explain my situation to the cashier, who seemed increasingly frustrated. Meanwhile, the patience of the people waiting behind me in line began to wear thin. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, a sense of hopelessness began to set in, and I contemplated having to return home to retrieve more money. As I was about to return for more cash, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the elderly woman who had been standing behind me in line. With a warm smile, she handed me some money and reassuringly said, “Don’t worry, dear. We all have tough days.” Her kindness deeply touched me, and I thanked her with all the sincerity I could muster before paying for my items. As I left the store, I felt a profound sense of gratitude and realized that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a significant impact on someone’s day. This simple gesture of goodwill truly brightened my spirits, and it inspired me to pay it forward by helping others whenever I can. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者的生活很不顺利，到处都是问题。到超市买东西时，作者发现没带钱包，当作者尽力购买好东西，因为结账队伍缓慢移动，作者的耐心逐渐耗尽，压力不断上升。就在这时，作者注意到身后一位老太太，她似乎察觉到了作者的焦虑，投来一个善意的微笑。作者尴尬地回以微笑，继续等待结账。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，接下来发生的事情出乎我的意料。”可知，第一段可描写作者准备结账时发现带的钱不够了以及作者的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“正当我准备回去取更多的现金时，我突然感到有人拍了拍我的肩膀。”可知，第二段可描写身后的老太太给作者钱帮作者付账以及作者的感激之情。 2. 续写线索：发现钱不够——感到尴尬——准备回去取钱——老太太给作者钱——表达感激之情——决心帮助他人传递善良。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①递：hand/give ②激励：inspire/encourage ③感动：touch/move 情绪类 ①沮丧的：frustrated/disappointed ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]As the cashier scanned my items, I discovered that the total cost exceeded the amount of cash I had on hand.(that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]It was the elderly woman who had been standing behind me in line.(it was+强调部分+who引导的强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一年级下学期第一次素养测试英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones (无人机). Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 4. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life. C. Simplicity is outdated in modern times. D. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. 5. Thoreau escaped to the woods because ________. A. he was abandoned by society B. he enjoyed adventures in the forest C. he tried to prove his independence D. he was fed up with busy industrial life 6. Why are smartphones and social media mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To discuss the effect of modernization. B. To illustrate men’s heavy reliance on tools. C. To highlight the extensive use of technology. D. To show the convenience of technological tools. 7. What does the author think of his ways of simplifying life? A. Amusing. B. Exciting. C. Satisfying. D. Challenging. C Teenagers who have close, secure relationships with their families are more likely to extend empathy (同理心) to their peers, according to a new study. The study, conducted at the University of Virginia’s Adolescent Research Group, followed 174 adolescents from the ages of 14 to 18 to track their progress annually. At age 14, researchers interviewed the teens regarding their family relationships using a modified version of the Adult Attachment Interview, which is considered the “gold standard” of assessing one’s attachment state of mind. Jessica Stern, lead author of the study, said this motivated the teens to share descriptions and stories about their families. Researchers paid attention to not only what the teens said but also how they expressed it. After these initial interviews, researchers went back to the participants at ages 16, 17 and 18 and observed their interactions with a close friend. The researchers noted how the participants responded when their friend presented a problem and revealed it to them, assessing the participants’ extension of empathy. Teens who had more secure family relationships showed higher empathy toward their friends at ages 16 and 17 than less secure teens. It’s not all bad news, though, because the less secure teens “caught up” in their empathic behavior by age 18. This is cause for hope, Stern said, because it may indicate that those empathic skills can develop over time for adolescents who don’t have great relationships at home. Having strong friendships or a trusted teacher might make an impact on insecure teens’ empathy. More research is being conducted on this particular group of participants, who are now in their mid-30s. The researchers are interested in seeing how the empathic abilities they examined in the teens now shape their romantic relationships and parenting behavior as adults. Being able to pick up on other people’s emotions and see from their point of view is important “for a variety of other things that we consider success in the world,” Stern said. For parents and even teachers Stern advises understanding the necessity of empathy and really investing in relationships with teens. Providing models of empathic behavior, including treating others with kindness, respect and support, can help adolescents internalize that behavior. 8. What do we know about the research? A. It was a long-term study. B. It revealed gender differences. C. It involved big data analysis. D It explored problem-solving strategies. 9. What can be inferred about the less secure teens during the study? A. They showed a decline in empathy. B. They became more eager for empathy. C. They maintained consistent levels of empathy. D. They initially struggled but improved in empathy. 10. What would help adolescents develop empathy according to the last paragraph? A. Demonstrating empathy in action. B. Rewarding their progress in empathy. C. Engaging them in classroom discussions. D. Monitoring their interpersonal relationships. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. The power of empathy for future success. B. Teenagers’ empathy linked to family bonds. C. The impact of friendship on adolescent empathy. D. Attachment theory and teens’ empathy development. D Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic (诊断的) accuracy, but a new study led by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers found that about 52% of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment. “While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information, encouragement and a listening patient experience may help increase acceptance,” Marvin Slepian, who led the research, said. “To ensure that the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician incorporation and patient decision making is required.” In this study, participants were placed into settings as mock (模拟的) patients and asked whether and under what circumstances they would prefer to have an AI system or a physical doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In the first phase, researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. In the second phase, researchers surveyed 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic (社会经济学的) groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split (分开), with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference and about 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed that their primary care physician felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity did not affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to white participants, black participants selected AI less often and Native Americans selected it more often. Older participants were less likely to choose AI, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest that differing groups will need specific sensitivity and attention as to informing them about the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I really feel this study has the importance for national reach. It will guide many future studies and clinical transitional decisions even now,” Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 12. What can we infer about AI treatment from Paragraph 2? A. Further clinical research is required. B. Its benefits remain to be confirmed. C. It can ensure a good listening patient experience. D. Physician involvement will increase patients’ acceptance. 13. What may affect participants’ preference for AI treatment according to the research? A. Their sensitivity to AI’s value. B. The questions they were asked. C. The access to the physicians. D. Their personal backgrounds. 14. What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Attempt. B. Responsibility. C. Impression. D. Opportunity. 15. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Trust in AI: A Split Among Patients B. Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI C. An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems D.

I recently had a personal experience that reminded me of this during a particularly challenging week. My week had been filled with problems, from work-related stress to unexpected bills and broken items. By the time I needed to go to the store for a few essentials, I was already feeling overwhelmed and at my breaking point. Despite my desire to just go home and relax, I made the trip across town to the store. When I arrived, I found the parking lot packed, which only added to my frustration. To make matters worse, the person next to my intended parking spot seemed to think their small car was entitled (有资格) to take up two spaces. After finally finding a spot, I realized that I had left my purse, including my debit card (借记卡) and checkbook (支票簿), at home. Fortunately, I had a small amount of cash and my coupon (优惠券) book, so I decided to go inside and make the best of it. The store was bustling with people, but I managed to find the items I needed and got in line to check out. However, the line seemed to move at a snail’s pace, and my patience was wearing thin. As I waited, I couldn’t help but feel my stress levels rising. That’s when I noticed an old lady standing behind me in line. She seemed to sense my anxiety and cast a kind smile at me. I awkwardly returned the smile and continued to wait. After a seemingly endless wait, it was finally my turn to check out. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右：2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, what happened next was out of my expectation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I was about to return for more cash, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
