B About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community. Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 4. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D. He attends to homeless people's pets. 5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned? A. To explain his change of career focus. B. To illustrate his professional competence. C. To explore the future of the industry. D. To reflect the challenges of the profession, 6. What do many people think of Steward? A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful. 7. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. C AI technology has long been able to recognize patterns in music preferences and create personalized playlists. Now, a new AI system has taken this a step further by analyzing how people listen to music and identifying their unique ‌“listening styles.” This advancement in the field of ‌“audiometric” analysis could revolutionize how music streaming services tailor playlists to individual users, making them more personalized and enjoyable. However, there are also concerns that such systems could potentially track users’ listening habits in ways that compromise privacy. Music recommendation algorithms, such as those used by Spotify and Apple Music, have been highly effective at suggesting new songs and artists. But Dr. Emily Carter, a music data scientist at the University of Music and Technology, notes that these algorithms often use a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t capture the nuances of individual listening behavior. To better understand and cater to individual preferences, researchers need to analyze each user’s unique listening patterns. To develop and train their AI, the researchers collected data from over 50 million listening sessions and fed it into a neural network. They tested the system by seeing how well it could distinguish between different users’ listening habits. The system was given 100 listening sessions from each of about 3,000 known users and 100 new sessions from an unknown user. The AI looked for the best match and identified the unknown user 86% of the time, according to a study presented at the International Conference on Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR). ‌“We were quite surprised by the accuracy,” says Alex Johnson, a doctoral student in Carter’s lab and the lead author of the study. A non-AI method was only 28% accurate. ‌“The work is really innovative,” says Dr. Sarah Kim, a music researcher at Google. ‌“Personalized music experiences could transform how we interact with music platforms.” The researchers are aware of the privacy implications of their system, which could potentially identify users based on their listening habits. In theory, similar systems could also analyze other behaviors, such as the types of podcasts people listen to or the timing of their music consumption. ISMIR organizers found the study technically impressive but ethically questionable, and accepted it on the condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks. Carter says they have decided, for now, not to release the software publicly. 8. What advance in AI technology is described in the article? A. It can recognize different human chess players. B. It can create personalized playlists based on unique listening styles. C. It can identify different people’s handwriting. D. It can track people’s unacceptable online behavior. 9. Why is the new AI system considered innovative according to Dr. Sarah Kim? A. It can recognize patterns in music preferences more accurately than existing algorithms. B. It uses a one-size-fits-all approach to suggest new songs. C. It can analyze the types of podcasts people listen to. D. It can identify users based on their listening habits with high accuracy. 10. What is the main concern regarding the new AI system described in the article? A. Its ability to create highly personalized playlists. B. Its potential to compromise user privacy by tracking listening habits. C. Its limited accuracy compared to non-AI methods. D. Its inability to distinguish between different users’ listening habits. 11. What is the attitude of the ISMIR organizers toward the study on the new AI system? A. Favorable. B. Disappointed. C. Careful. D. Uninterested. D One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 12. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions. C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response. 13. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A. Excited and eager to try them out. B. Annoyed and not interested in them. C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions. D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 14. What would happen to kids with the automation of language? A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase. C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication 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 if we take a closer look at the food chains in a garden? ____16____ Or how, as we put it in another way, everything gardens.

The interdependence between garden creatures is limited. C. Different creatures will compete over various forms of prey. D. We should always let nature do some of the gardening as well. E.

At work, I am always burdened with questions from co-workers, suppliers, telephone calls, and then those dreaded meetings, so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and start small talk. I don’t know why, but for some reason, when I got on the train today, it was unusually full. With hesitation, I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn’t notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor. Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown, I found myself wondering what this man was thinking about. What could be so important that he didn’t even see me sitting next to him? I tried to forget about it and started to read my paper. However, for some strange reason, this “inner voice” kept prompting me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the “voice” as there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger. As you probably guessed, I eventually broke down and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When he raised his head and turned his eyes toward me, I could see that he must have been really upset as he had red eyes and still had some tears rolling down the side of his face, despite his feeble attempt to wipe them away. I can’t describe the sadness I felt seeing someone in so much pain. We talked for about 20 minutes, and in the end, he seemed to be doing better. As we were leaving the train, he thanked me heartily for being an “angel” by taking the time to talk. I never did find out what was making his heart so heavy with pain, but I was glad I listened to the “voice” that day. 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。 Paragraph 1: Several weeks later, I found an envelope on my desk with the word “Angel” written on it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Deeply touched yet still shaken, I sat there holding the letter, feeling lucky that I followed my inner voice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 四平市第一高级中学2024—2025学年度下学期期初验收考试 高二英语试题 本试卷分客观题和主观题两部分，共67题，共150分，共6页。考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，只交答题卡。 第I卷 客观题 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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?

Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 4. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D. He attends to homeless people's pets. 5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned? A. To explain his change of career focus. B. To illustrate his professional competence. C.

What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了斯图尔特在大学毕业后成为一名兽医，后来因为工作原因，他开始为流浪人群的宠物提供治疗，并获得了很大的反响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“About once a week, a veterinarian Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown's homeless community. (大约每周一次，兽医克瓦恩·斯图尔特前往圣地亚哥的东村巡视，为市中心无家可归者社区珍爱的宠物狗、猫和鸟提供服务。)”可知，斯图尔特目前的工作是照料无家可归者的宠物。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.( 他看到宠物被遗弃，工作非常令人沮丧。在收容所工作了四年后，斯图尔特说他感到内疚，准备辞职。)”以及第三段“Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog's skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog. ” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms. ” Stewart said.( 一天早上，在他上班的路上，他看到一个无家可归的人和一条狗。他治疗了狗的皮肤状况，这只动物被治疗了。主人非常感激地说：“谢谢你没有忽视我，还照顾我的狗。”“对我来说就是那个时刻。我重新开始拯救动物，并按照自己的方式去做。”斯图尔特说。)”和第四段中“A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began.(几周后，他在一个施舍处开了一家临时兽医诊所，当那里的客户建议他进一步提供服务时，他的新工作“街头兽医”开始了。)”可推知，文章先讲述斯图尔特在动物收容所的工作经历，因看到宠物被遗弃而感到沮丧，几乎要辞职。之后遇到一位无家可归者和他的狗，给狗治疗后，斯图尔特决定以自己的方式拯救动物，开启了街头兽医的工作。所以提及收容所工作是为了解释他职业重心的转变。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.( 斯图尔特服务的许多人不仅感激他的帮助，而且还与他建立了深厚的联系，认为他不仅善待他们的宠物，而且承认他们的人性。)”可推知，斯图尔特不仅治疗宠物还尊重无家可归者，可见人们认为他仁慈善良。故选D项。 【7题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’ m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.( 现在，他正在建立一个由值得信赖的志愿者、医院和诊所的技术人员组成的网络。“这些人都愿意提供提援助，说，‘我被你所做的事情所鼓舞。我该怎么做呢？’”他说。)”可知，很多人受斯图尔特启发，询问如何做，说明他希望人们效仿他的做法。“emulate”意思是 “效仿，模仿”，和A选项Follow the example of“效仿”意思相近。 故选A项。 C AI technology has long been able to recognize patterns in music preferences and create personalized playlists. Now, a new AI system has taken this a step further by analyzing how people listen to music and identifying their unique ‌“listening styles.” This advancement in the field of ‌“audiometric” analysis could revolutionize how music streaming services tailor playlists to individual users, making them more personalized and enjoyable. However, there are also concerns that such systems could potentially track users’ listening habits in ways that compromise privacy. Music recommendation algorithms, such as those used by Spotify and Apple Music, have been highly effective at suggesting new songs and artists. But Dr. Emily Carter, a music data scientist at the University of Music and Technology, notes that these algorithms often use a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t capture the nuances of individual listening behavior. To better understand and cater to individual preferences, researchers need to analyze each user’s unique listening patterns. To develop and train their AI, the researchers collected data from over 50 million listening sessions and fed it into a neural network. They tested the system by seeing how well it could distinguish between different users’ listening habits. The system was given 100 listening sessions from each of about 3,000 known users and 100 new sessions from an unknown user. The AI looked for the best match and identified the unknown user 86% of the time, according to a study presented at the International Conference on Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR). ‌“We were quite surprised by the accuracy,” says Alex Johnson, a doctoral student in Carter’s lab and the lead author of the study. A non-AI method was only 28% accurate. ‌“The work is really innovative,” says Dr. Sarah Kim, a music researcher at Google. ‌“Personalized music experiences could transform how we interact with music platforms.” The researchers are aware of the privacy implications of their system, which could potentially identify users based on their listening habits. In theory, similar systems could also analyze other behaviors, such as the types of podcasts people listen to or the timing of their music consumption. ISMIR organizers found the study technically impressive but ethically questionable, and accepted it on the condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks. Carter says they have decided, for now, not to release the software publicly. 8. What advance in AI technology is described in the article? A. It can recognize different human chess players. B. It can create personalized playlists based on unique listening styles. C. It can identify different people’s handwriting. D. It can track people’s unacceptable online behavior. 9. Why is the new AI system considered innovative according to Dr. Sarah Kim? A. It can recognize patterns in music preferences more accurately than existing algorithms. B. It uses a one-size-fits-all approach to suggest new songs. C. It can analyze the types of podcasts people listen to. D. It can identify users based on their listening habits with high accuracy. 10. What is the main concern regarding the new AI system described in the article? A. Its ability to create highly personalized playlists. B. Its potential to compromise user privacy by tracking listening habits. C. Its limited accuracy compared to non-AI methods. D. Its inability to distinguish between different users’ listening habits. 11. What is the attitude of the ISMIR organizers toward the study on the new AI system? A. Favorable. B. Disappointed. C. Careful. D. Uninterested. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新的人工智能系统，它能分析人们的音乐聆听风格创建个性化歌单，但也存在隐私风险，研究人员暂不公开该软件。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“AI technology has long been able to recognize patterns in music preferences and create personalized playlists. Now, a new AI system has taken this a step further by analyzing how people listen to music and identifying their unique ‘listening styles.’ This advancement in the field of ‌’audiometric’ analysis could revolutionize how music streaming services tailor playlists to individual users, making them more personalized and enjoyable.(人工智能技术早就能够识别音乐偏好的模式，并创建个性化的播放列表。现在，一种新的人工智能系统更进一步，它通过分析人们听音乐的方式，识别出他们独特的‘聆听风格’。这种‘听力测量’分析领域的进步可能会彻底改变音乐流媒体服务为个人用户定制播放列表的方式，使它们更加个性化和令人愉悦)”可知，这项人工智能技术的进步是它能基于独特的聆听风格创建个性化歌单。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Music recommendation algorithms, such as those used by Spotify and Apple Music, have been highly effective at suggesting new songs and artists. But Dr. Emily Carter, a music data scientist at the University of Music and Technology, notes that these algorithms often use a one size fits all approach that doesn’t capture the nuances of individual listening behavior.(音乐推荐算法，如Spotify和Apple Music使用的算法，在推荐新歌和新艺术家方面非常有效。但音乐与技术大学的音乐数据科学家Emily Carter博士指出，这些算法通常采用一刀切的方法，无法捕捉到个人聆听行为的细微差别)”以及第四段中“‘The work is really innovative,’ says Dr. Sarah Kim, a music researcher at Google. ‌‘Personalized music experiences could transform how we interact with music platforms.’(谷歌的音乐研究员Sarah Kim博士说：‘这项工作真的很有创新性。个性化的音乐体验可以改变我们与音乐平台的互动方式。’)”可知，现有的算法采用一刀切的方式，不能很好地捕捉个人聆听行为的细微差别，而新的人工智能系统能更准确地识别音乐偏好模式，所以被认为有创新性。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, there are also concerns that such systems could potentially track users’ listening habits in ways that compromise privacy.(然而，也有人担心，这样的系统可能会以侵犯隐私的方式追踪用户的聆听习惯)”可知，关于这项新AI系统的主要担忧是它可能通过追踪聆听习惯侵犯用户隐私。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ISMIR organizers found the study technically impressive but ethically questionable, and accepted it on the condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks.(ISMIR的组织者认为这项研究在技术上令人印象深刻，但在伦理上存在问题，并在研究人员详细说明隐私风险的条件下接受了这项研究)”可知，ISMIR组织者既认可技术方面又关注伦理问题，还要求研究人员说明隐私风险，由此可推断他们的态度是谨慎的。故选C项。 D One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 12. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions. C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response. 13. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A. Excited and eager to try them out. B. Annoyed and not interested in them. C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions. D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 14. What would happen to kids with the automation of language? A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase. C Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历，表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you.(我思考了不断要求“别的东西”意味着什么。这不仅仅是有一个真正的人可以交谈。这同样关系到我们沟通的质量。它是关于思考一些事情，然后说出来，然后让另一个人思考并回答你一些事情)”可知，思考的过程有助于高质量的沟通。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.(一开始，我告诉自己不要用那些预先准备好的回答。但很快，我急切发现它们很不错)”可知，作者不愿意使用预先准备好的回答，但最终意识到它们的方便。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.(如果我们的语言在整体上被自动化了会发生什么？如果我们不是生成回应，而是指向和点击会怎样？选择回应是一种思考方式，但它的准确性远不如生成内容所需的思考方式。它更多地与识别“足够好”的回应有关。而不是从空白的画布开始，我们是在评价事物。这并非毫无用处，但它无法替代以创造性方式进行思考。如果孩子们只进行评价，他们就不会有原创的想法。他们可能会成为出色的编辑，但很可能无法以全新的方式创造想法)”可知，语言自动化的孩子创造力会受到影响。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule.(没有简单的解决方案，当然也没有办法让自动对话时光倒流。然而，在我们前进的过程中，我们需要仔细考虑沟通方面的简单改变会产生怎样严重的影响。如果我们想帮助我们的孩子，我们寻找的“其他东西”——真实的人类对话——不应该是例外，而应该是规则)”结合文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历，表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。可知，A选项“我对自动对话的看法”最符合文章标题。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。 What if we take a closer look at the food chains in a garden? ____16____ Or how, as we put it in another way, everything gardens.

At work, I am always burdened with questions from co-workers, suppliers, telephone calls, and then those dreaded meetings, so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and start small talk. I don’t know why, but for some reason, when I got on the train today, it was unusually full. With hesitation, I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn’t notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor. Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown, I found myself wondering what this man was thinking about. What could be so important that he didn’t even see me sitting next to him? I tried to forget about it and started to read my paper. However, for some strange reason, this “inner voice” kept prompting me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the “voice” as there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger. As you probably guessed, I eventually broke down and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When he raised his head and turned his eyes toward me, I could see that he must have been really upset as he had red eyes and still had some tears rolling down the side of his face, despite his feeble attempt to wipe them away. I can’t describe the sadness I felt seeing someone in so much pain. We talked for about 20 minutes, and in the end, he seemed to be doing better. As we were leaving the train, he thanked me heartily for being an “angel” by taking the time to talk. I never did find out what was making his heart so heavy with pain, but I was glad I listened to the “voice” that day. 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。 Paragraph 1: Several weeks later, I found an envelope on my desk with the word “Angel” written on it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Deeply touched yet still shaken, I sat there holding the letter, feeling lucky that I followed my inner voice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Several weeks later, I found an envelope on my desk with only the word “Angel” written on it. Curious and slightly puzzled, I opened it and found a heartfelt letter from the man I had met on the train that day. In his letter, he thanked me for taking the time to talk to him when he was at his lowest. He shared that he had been facing overwhelming personal struggles and had even considered ending his life that very day. My simple act of reaching out, he wrote, had reminded him that there were still people who cared, and it gave him the strength to keep going. The letter closed with words that touched me deeply: “You were the angel I needed. God heard my prayer and sent you at just the right time.” Deeply touched yet still shaken, I sat there holding the letter, feeling lucky that I followed my inner voice. I had almost ignored that “inner voice” urging me to speak to him, but now I understood why I hadn’t. It was a small act, but it was indeed a calling of my inner kindness, which had made a significant difference in his life. From that day on, I promised myself to always listen to that quiet voice within, especially when it nudged me to show kindness or reach out to someone in need even there was no apparent reason. Sometimes, a few minutes of our time can mean the world to someone else, and perhaps, in our own small way, we can all be someone’s “angel.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。过去15年作者每天生活规律，上班坐火车时习惯找安静座位。某天火车很满，他无奈坐在一个低着头的陌生人旁边。内心声音促使他开口，发现那人正痛苦，交谈后对方好转，他庆幸听从了内心声音。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“几周后，我在桌子上发现了一个信封，上面只写着‘天使’这个词。”可知，第一段可以描写作者发现信后的反应和信的内容。 ②由第二段句首内容“我深受感动，同时也有些震惊，坐在那里紧握着那封信，庆幸自己听从了内心的声音。”可知，第二段可以描写作者的对于这次事件的感悟。 2.续写线索：发现一个信封——感谢信——深受感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：find/discover ②面对：face/confront ③考虑：consider/think about 情绪类 ①好奇的：curious/inquisitive ②困惑的：puzzled/confused 【点睛】【高分句型1】He shared that he had been facing overwhelming personal struggles and had even considered ending his life that very day.
