B Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head. As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road. When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women. Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. "I was losing faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it." Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer." 24. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer? A She was driving home. B. She was resting on the road. C. She was taking exercise. D. She was feeding wild animals. 25. What did Alexis do to save Sue? A. She pushed the deer away. B. She hit the deer with her feet. C. She drove the car to hit the deer. D. She beat the deer with a hammer. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis? A. Strong. B. Cruel. C. Energetic. D. Brave. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured B. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman C. A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully D. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack C In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings. Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness. Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man. 28. By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is ______. A. an essential part of society though individual’s function is negligible B. expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society C. a replaceable component of society, though functioning smoothly D. responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations 29. From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those who ______. A. hold well-paid and life-long jobs B. enjoy high social status and reputation C. outperform their fellow-competitors D. stay away from over-competitiveness 30. To solve the present social problems the author suggests that we should ______. A. resort to the production mode of our ancestors B. offer higher wages to workers and employees C. enable man to fully develop his potentialities D. escape consumerism and embrace humanism D Experts frequently warn about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). Sadly, the rapid advancement of AI technology in recent years has not led to a common understanding of its risks, as it should have. Actually, beneath the surface of AI discussions lies conflict among divided groups, which may mislead lawmakers and the public and prevent competent regulatory measures. Understanding the motivations behind these differing views is crucial to addressing AI’s societal impact. The loudest perspective is a frightening vision from doomsayers (末日论者), who present AI as a threat to human existence, capable of wiping out life and controlling everything. This doomsaying is heightened by influential tech figures using tools like ChatGPT to shape the conversation. Some in this group focus on extreme disastrous risks and emphasize the distant future implications of our actions. While many doomsayers claim they are reasonable, their exaggerated concerns about hypothetical (假设的) existential risks amount to a misguided bet with humanity’s future. Technology historian David Brock calls such fears “wishful worries” — that is, problems that it would be nice to have, in contrast to the actual struggles of the present. While doomsayers focus on the distant future, reformers focus on immediate issues. They view AI reform as a matter of integrity, urging Big Tech to prioritize the public good over profit. These experts advocate for regulators to address current harms caused by AI, such as misinformation, monitoring, and algorithmic (算法的) unfairness. They propose initiatives like civil education for AI literacy and the design of human-centered systems to fight growing societal inequalities. Warriors, another group, describe AI through the language of national security and competitiveness. Their views benefit some tech giants and government agencies. Top AI firms seek costly regulations that they claim guard against crime and terrorism, which could secure their market dominance and limit startup competition. Governments, tightly connected to these firms, may prioritize defense applications over moral concerns, leading to regulatory blind spots. In conclusion the differing viewpoints on AI underline the complexity of addressing its societal impact. To minimize potential harms and ensure that AI serves the public interest, it is crucial to strengthen legal frameworks that close existing gaps and hold corporations accountable. Expanding regulatory strategies can help restrict corporate overreach and foster transparency in AI development. Publicly directed projects can counterbalance corporate influence, ensuring that AI benefits society as a whole. By prioritizing accountability and collective welfare, we can shape a future where AI empowers everyone, not just a select few. 31. What is the consequence of diverse points of view on AI? A. Enhancing our ability to tackle AI issues. B. Advancing the standardization of AI guidelines. C. Delaying the creation of effective AI regulations. D. Breaking the integrity of current AI legal framework. 32. The author quotes David Brock’s words in order to ______. A. prove that AI has positive impacts B. confirm that doomsayers’ worries are justified C. suggest that the concerns over AI are overstated D. show that current struggles have serious outcomes 33. What can be inferred from the passage? A. A publicly directed AI project will ultimately empower the select few. B. Reformers advocate human-centered AI systems to gain personal profits. C. Warriors pursue dominance in national security by improving AI morally. D. Lawmakers should toughen rules limiting corporate influence for public good. 34. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Battle over AI: Power and Benefit B. Perspectives on AI: Individualism or Collectivism C. The Argument about AI: Reformers vs. Doomsayers D. Debates on the Future of AI: Innovation or Regulation 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Third-Culture Kids Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid! The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. ___35___About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. ___36___ In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. ___37___ While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships. For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. ___38___ She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home. While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.___39___ As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy. B. In general, they often reach excellent academic results. C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity. D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle. E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences. F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends. G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Four Colombian children survived a plane crash only to be lost deep in the Amazon rainforest for well over a month. This is how they survived this horrifying situation. It’s most people’s nightmare: surviving a plane crash only to be trapped in a jungle with no way of contacting the outside world. But they survived. The children, aged 13, nine and four, as well as an 11-month-old baby, were flying with their mother from their village in the Amazon to visit their father in San José del Guaviare. The single-engine Cessna on which they were flying experienced engine problems and disappeared on May 1, 2023. Bad weather prevented the army from finding the crash site for two weeks, where they then found the dead bodies of three adults, including the children’s mother. How did these children survive conditions that would be an unimaginable struggle for most adults? They are members of the Huitoto Indigenous group and were raised in the jungle. As such, they have an intimate understanding of the rainforest. They know which fruits are safe to eat and which plants should be avoided. Working with, rather than against, the Amazon, they survived on fruits and seeds, while feeding the baby water mixed with yucca flour that they found on the plane. While the children got on with the business of surviving, the Colombian army worked with Indigenous volunteers to find them. After 40 days of searching, the children were found and taken to recover at a military hospital in Bogota. While many around the world have taken this survival story to be a miracle, others point out that it is the result of an ancient and intimate knowledge of the rainforest that has been passed down through Indigenous communities over the generations. Indigenous tribes have a close relationship to the Amazon, marked by a deep respect for the forest that provides them with shelter and nutritious ingredients. It is their close connection to and understanding of the rainforest that undoubtedly helped the children to survive. 40. What made the plane on which they were flying crash? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41 Why did it take the army so long to find the children after the accident? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.  The children survived the horrifying situation by fighting against the Amazon rainforest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43.
