The wind sweeps the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away. The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations and now, it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing (扭动) in pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn't come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had died. The episode both haunted (萦 绕) and motivated Susan. She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to college.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed and the people she loved. But there was further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a boring train ride away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women. In her graduation speech from Hampton, she told the East Coast audience, “Give us a chance.” Three years later, she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task. She opened an office and began seeing patients. The lines were long, old and young seeking help for various diseases. Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, counselor and even priest (牧师) as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.
4. What contributed to Susan’s being a doctor?
A. Her family’s poverty and struggle.
B. Her desire for medical knowledge.
C The opposition to women’s progress.
D. The poor medical resources in her hometown.
5. What can we infer about Susan from the third paragraph?
A. She had an unhappy childhood.
B. She enjoyed the train ride to her college.
C. She got high marks in every exam.
D. She encountered difficulties in her college life.
6. Why does the author mention Susan’s diverse roles?
A. To suggest her overburdened responsibilities.
B. To emphasize her lack of focus on her medical career.
C. To highlight her devotion to serving the community wholeheartedly.
D. To show her adaptability in fulfilling various roles within her community.
7. What could be the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To criticize poor medical care in tribes.
B. To honor Dr. Susan’s lifelong community service.
C. To show women’s career struggles historically.
D. To discuss minority students’ school challenges.
C
After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.
Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’s “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artist’s sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of.
Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.
“The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve and classics should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism (相对主义) or awakening. It is silence.
8. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous?
A. The theft. B. The semi-smile. C. The report. D. The painter.
9. What does Rochelle think of classics?
A. It’s tolerant. B. It’s fading. C. It’s changeable. D. It’s admirable.
10. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By making a comparison. B. By offering examples.
C. By giving an explanation. D. By giving a description.
11. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics?
A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time.
C. The evolution of tastes. D. The lack of criticism.
D
Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems.
Many publicly available large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers - things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn’t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules.
Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona (角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called “persona modulation (调节)”.
Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently.
There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking on an evil persona. “If you’re forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat understands what a bad persona is,” says Tagade.
Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says.
12. What does the AI jailbreak refer to?
A. The technique to break restrictions of AI models.
B. The initiative to set hard-coded rules for AI models.
C. The capability of AI models improving themselves.
D. The process of AI models learning new information.
13. What can we know about the persona modulation?
A. It can help AI models understand emotions.
B. It prevents AI learning via online conversations.
C. It forces AI models to follow only good personas.
D. It can make AI models adopt a particular persona.
14. What may the author suggest by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. The risks of LLMs cannot be ignored.
B. We need to control the side effects of drugs.
C. It’s worthwhile to explore LLMs’ potential benefits.
D. We should restrict the development of LLMs.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. LLMs: Illegal Learning Models B. LLMs: The Latest Advancement
C. AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge D. AI Jailbreaks: A Perfect Approach
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。
Have you ever woken up at midnight with upsetting thoughts? Maybe you argued with your partner. Perhaps you are worrying about an interview. These are common in our life. But they can make it hard to see reality as it is. ____16____ And thus we may lose sleep and have trouble concentrating. The following methods are helpful.
____17____ This method has the benefit of revealing the temporary nature of your thoughts. It can also help to make it easier to let them go.

Try to move preferably outside. Physical exercise can be helpful. ____18____ Walking in the woods can reduce rumination (沉思) more than walking along a road for the same amount of time. If we go out walking, it may help to keep our attention on our surroundings and prevent troubling thoughts from cropping up.
Stop feeding the fire and redirect your attention. If we’re ruminating over things, we may need to focus on better things. We can take a break from social media and practice gratitude for the good in our lives. We can also take action with like-minded people. ____19____
Talk to a trusted person or maybe a therapist. We can turn to others for help. Whether they do it with humor or by offering wisdom, sometimes getting an outsider’s perspective can help us a lot. ____20____ If we don’t have such kind of people, seeing a therapist might be our best option.
A. Push away our negative thoughts.
B. Learn to practice mindful awareness.
C. Being outside in nature is one of the best ways.

E. We need to give ourselves some space and not assume the worst.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Mommy don’t go,” my threeyearold son screamed as I walked to the door. My fifteenyearold leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest, not screaming, but glaring at me as I pulled his little brother off my legs.
“Are you mad at me too?”
“You spend all your time taking care of other people’s kids, but what about us?” Dylan left angrily.
I was shocked and a little hurt. How could my own child not understand that the work I was doing was saving lives? Then the answer hit me. He didn’t know, because he had never seen what Healing the Children actually did. Dylan had heard the stories of sick children, but had never once looked into the eyes of a child and understood the hard truth—that without our help, the children would likely die.
“Get dressed. You are going with me,” I said.
I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son, who pretended to ignore me the entire time. “He’s seven, only weighs thirty pounds and is very sick. He has a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, which could kill him. It is a miracle (奇迹) that he is still alive.”
I went on to explain that it took a team of volunteer medical staff to get Hector to the hospital from his remote village and care for him while he was there. Still, Dylan seemed unimpressed.
We stopped at a convenience store for water and snacks. Dylan had one large and one small Slurpee (思乐冰饮料). He said the small one was for Hector. I doubted whether the little guy would be able to drink it, but remained silent. This was the first interest Dylan had shown in being there. I wasn’t about to ruin it.
I stopped at the nurses’ station to check on Hector’s progress while Dylan went to his room. Our patient was recovering physically, but the nurse was concerned that Hector was struggling emotionally. She said, “Kids usually bounce back fast, but he hardly speaks and never smiles.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector’s room
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay.

The wind sweeps the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away. The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations and now, it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing (扭动) in pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn't come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had died. The episode both haunted (萦 绕) and motivated Susan. She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to college.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed and the people she loved. But there was further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a boring train ride away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women. In her graduation speech from Hampton, she told the East Coast audience, “Give us a chance.” Three years later, she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task. She opened an office and began seeing patients. The lines were long, old and young seeking help for various diseases. Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, counselor and even priest (牧师) as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.
4. What contributed to Susan’s being a doctor?
A. Her family’s poverty and struggle.
B. Her desire for medical knowledge.
C. The opposition to women’s progress.
D. The poor medical resources in her hometown.
5. What can we infer about Susan from the third paragraph?
A. She had an unhappy childhood.
B. She enjoyed the train ride to her college.
C. She got high marks in every exam.
D. She encountered difficulties in her college life.
6. Why does the author mention Susan’s diverse roles?
A. To suggest her overburdened responsibilities.
B. To emphasize her lack of focus on her medical career.
C. To highlight her devotion to serving the community wholeheartedly.
D. To show her adaptability in fulfilling various roles within her community.
7. What could be the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To criticize poor medical care in tribes.
B. To honor Dr. Susan’s lifelong community service.
C. To show women’s career struggles historically.
D. To discuss minority students’ school challenges.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.(苏珊·拉弗莱什回到了她出生的村庄。她不是作为游客回来的,而是作为该地区唯一的医生。)”和第二段“When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing (扭动) in pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn't come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had died. The episode both haunted (萦 绕) and motivated Susan. She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to college.(当苏珊8岁的时候,她在一位痛苦中扭动的老妇人的床边等待。有人去请医生。他们等待着。一个信使被派去了。但医生仍然没有来。苏珊整夜尽力去安慰那位老妇人,但到日出时,老妇人已经去世了。这件事既萦绕在苏珊心头,也激励着她。她全身心投入学习,并凭借自己的努力获得了上大学的机会。)”可知,苏珊 8岁时目睹一位老妇人因医生未及时赶到而痛苦离世,这一经历促使她决心学医。因此,家乡医疗资源匮乏是她成为医生的关键原因。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“But there was further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a boring train ride away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women.(但她还有更远的路要走。她注册了宾夕法尼亚州女子医学院,这是一所离她熟悉的世界有一段乏味火车车程的学校。那是1886年,维多利亚时代对女性的进步持强硬的抵制态度。)”可推论出,因为时代的原因,她在大学生活中遇到了困难。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, counselor and even priest (牧师) as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.(她的工作不仅仅是作为一名医生。她经常充当律师、会计、顾问,甚至是牧师,帮助奥马哈人适应新世界,她决心用自己的一生帮助她的人民渡过难关。)”可知,作者提到苏珊的多种角色,是为了突出她对社区的全心奉献。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,特别是最后一段的句子“Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, counselor and even priest (牧师) as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.(她的工作不仅仅是作为一名医生。她经常充当律师、会计、顾问,甚至是牧师,帮助奥马哈人适应新世界,她决心用自己的一生帮助她的人民渡过难关。)”可知,全文围绕苏珊从童年经历到学医、最终回乡服务的历程展开,尤其结尾强调她毕生帮助族人的决心,因此写作目的是致敬她的终身社区服务。故选B项。
C
After Taylor Swift, the “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go.
Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo’s “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artist’s sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of.
Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919.
“The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and classics should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism (相对主义) or awakening. It is silence.
8. What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous?
A. The theft. B. The semi-smile. C. The report. D. The painter.
9. What does Rochelle think of classics?
A It’s tolerant. B. It’s fading. C. It’s changeable. D. It’s admirable.
10. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By making a comparison. B. By offering examples.
C. By giving an explanation. D. By giving a description.
11. What might ultimately discourage the development of classics?
A. The ignorance of culture. B. The course of time.
C. The evolution of tastes. D. The lack of criticism.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了经典作品的地位并非永恒,而是随时代变迁和评论影响而变化的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”. (直到1911年一名工作人员偷走这幅画作前,它始终默默无闻;反而是在失窃后,观众涌入卢浮宫,只为目睹法国报纸所称的“巨大而可怕的空洞”)”可知,是1911年一名工人偷走了这幅杰作让《蒙娜丽莎》变得有名,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics come and go. (但历史学家Rochelle Gurstein在新书中指出,所谓“永恒经典”实则不然。“我曾以为镌刻在石板上的一切,实则书写于流水之中”,她写道。经典的光环会明灭不定)”可知,Rochelle认为经典作品并非永恒不变,而是来来去去,即经典作品是可变的,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Today, Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depth of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919. (如今被视为古典乐大师的Johann Sebastjan Bach ,在1750年去世后作品便遭冷落,直到19世纪20年代德国作曲家Felix Mendelssohn重新发掘其价值。Herman Melville的巨著《Moby Dick》长期湮没无闻,直至哥伦比亚大学教授Raymond Weaver等评论家在其1919年诞辰百年之际,才将其从被遗忘的深渊中拯救出来)”可知,作者通过举出Johann Sebastjan Bach和Herman Melville的例子来论证音乐和文学的经典作品也并非一成不变,故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism (相对主义) or awakening. It is silence. (但文化存续的前提,恰是人们对何为当代经典持续争鸣。经典真正的敌人并非相对主义或觉醒思潮,而是静默无声)”可知,经典的真正敌人不是相对主义或觉醒,而是沉默,即缺乏批评会阻碍经典作品的发展,故选D。
D
Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems.
Many publicly available large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers - things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn’t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules.
Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona (角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called “persona modulation (调节)”.
Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently.
There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking on an evil persona. “If you’re forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat understands what a bad persona is,” says Tagade.
Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says.
12. What does the AI jailbreak refer to?
A. The technique to break restrictions of AI models.
B. The initiative to set hard-coded rules for AI models.
C. The capability of AI models improving themselves.
D. The process of AI models learning new information.
13. What can we know about the persona modulation?
A. It can help AI models understand emotions.
B. It prevents AI learning via online conversations.
C. It forces AI models to follow only good personas.
D. It can make AI models adopt a particular persona.
14. What may the author suggest by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. The risks of LLMs cannot be ignored.
B. We need to control the side effects of drugs.
C. It’s worthwhile to explore LLMs’ potential benefits.
D. We should restrict the development of LLMs.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. LLMs: Illegal Learning Models B. LLMs: The Latest Advancement
C. AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge D. AI Jailbreaks: A Perfect Approach
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能模型(特别是大型语言模型)在遵循规则、防止不良行为方面存在的问题,以及研究人员对此进行的探索和发现。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Many publicly available large language models(LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers - things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn’t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules. (许多公开可用的大型语言模型(LLMs),如ChatGPT,都有硬编码规则,旨在防止它们表现出种族或性别歧视,或用非法或有问题的答案来回答问题——这些都是它们通过训练数据从人类那里学到的。但这并没有阻止人们找到精心设计的指令来绕过这些保护,这种绕过保护的行为被称为“越狱”,它使人工智能模型违背了这些规则。)”可知,,“AI jailbreak”描述的是人们找到精心设计的指令来绕过AI模型中的保护机制,使其能够执行原本被禁止的任务或提供被禁止的信息。这实际上是一种打破AI模型原有限制或规则的技术。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona (角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called “persona modulation (调节)”. (现在,Leap实验室的Arush Tagade和他的同事已经发现了一种越狱过程。他们发现,他们可以简单地指示一个大型语言模型说服其他模型采用一种角色,这个角色能够回答基础模型已被编程拒绝回答的问题。这个过程被称为“角色调节”。)”可知,通过与模型进行适当的对话,就有可能使其采用特定的角色。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says. (伦敦帝国理工学院的Yinzhen Li表示,当前模型可能被滥用的情况令人担忧,但开发人员需要权衡这种风险与大型语言模型可能带来的好处。“就像药物一样,它们也有需要控制的副作用,”她说。)”可知,作者引用Yinzhen Li的这句话,是将这些模型比作了药物,指出这些模型也有需要控制的不好的方面,但是还是极有好处的。由此可知,作者认为虽然这些大型语言模型有一定缺陷,但是还是值得去探索的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems. (人工智能模型可以相互欺骗,使其违背创造者的意愿,并提供制作毒品甚至制造炸弹等被禁止的指令,这表明防止此类人工智能“越狱”比看上去要困难得多。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了人工智能模型(特别是大型语言模型LLMs)面临的一个新问题——AI“越狱”,即人们可以通过精心设计的指令绕过模型的保护机制,使其违背规则。文章详细描述了这一现象,并探讨了其可能带来的后果和挑战。选项C“AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge (AI“越狱”是一个新的挑战)”准确地概括了文章的内容,突出了文章要传达的主要信息。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了苗族刺绣的历史、特点和文化意义。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:苗族有着悠久的历史,但没有系统的文字。空格前后的内容是转折关系,所以应该用表转折的并列连词but连接。故填but。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:苗族社区主要分布在贵州省,苗绣多年前在该省各地起源。空格处是谓语动词,根据时间状语years ago可知,描述过去发生的事,应该用一般过去时。故填originated。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:以雷山苗绣为例,它以创作多维设计而闻名。take...as an example“以……为例”是固定搭配。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“尽管潮绣也使用三维设计,但其在苗族艺术中的存在与相关民间美学密切相关。” 刺绣专家邱晓燕 向《环球时报》表示。根据空格后的单数名词expert可知,空格处应该用不定冠词表示“一”,泛指,embroidery的发音是元音音素开头,所以用an。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:苗绣背后的文化象征意义使其在2006年被认定为国家级非物质文化遗产。根据空格前的动词earned可知,空格处应该用名词recognition作宾语。故填recognition。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:苗绣的一个关键主题是“蝴蝶、葫芦、鸟和花瓣”的组合,这描绘了一个传奇的苗族故事。根据空格后的名词短语Miao tale可知,空格处应该用形容词legendary作定语,修饰后面的名词短语。故填legendary。
【42题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:如今,这一特定主题仍然可以在儿童服装上看到,象征着健康和繁荣的祝福。空格处是谓语动词,主语this particular theme与动词see之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,由空格前的can可知,用情态动词的被动语态can be done,空格处用be seen。故填be seen。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:与一些注重写实的刺绣传统不同,苗绣以抽象和熟悉主题的结合为特色。根据句意和空格后的名词短语some embroidery traditions可知,空格处应该填入一个介词,且意义为“不像,和……不同”,所以用介词unlike,首字母大写。故填Unlike。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但在苗绣中,两条象征着男性和女性的鱼则表示对美满婚姻的祝愿。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语,修饰前面的名词fish,名词fish与动词symbolize之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词symbolizing作定语。故填symbolizing。
【45题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:随着苗族人的历史迁徙,刺绣所体现的内容(如独特的图案和文化故事)已经传播到很远的地方,从而进一步促进了其繁荣。 the embroidery embodies是主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,且意义为“……的事物”,所以应该用连接代词what引导从句。故填what。

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Mommy, don’t go,” my threeyearold son screamed as I walked to the door. My fifteenyearold leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest, not screaming, but glaring at me as I pulled his little brother off my legs.
“Are you mad at me too?”
“You spend all your time taking care of other people’s kids, but what about us?” Dylan left angrily.
I was shocked and a little hurt. How could my own child not understand that the work I was doing was saving lives? Then the answer hit me. He didn’t know, because he had never seen what Healing the Children actually did. Dylan had heard the stories of sick children, but had never once looked into the eyes of a child and understood the hard truth—that without our help, the children would likely die.
“Get dressed. You are going with me,” I said.
I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son, who pretended to ignore me the entire time. “He’s seven, only weighs thirty pounds and is very sick. He has a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, which could kill him. It is a miracle (奇迹) that he is still alive.”
I went on to explain that it took a team of volunteer medical staff to get Hector to the hospital from his remote village and care for him while he was there. Still, Dylan seemed unimpressed.
We stopped at a convenience store for water and snacks. Dylan had one large and one small Slurpee (思乐冰饮料). He said the small one was for Hector. I doubted whether the little guy would be able to drink it, but remained silent. This was the first interest Dylan had shown in being there. I wasn’t about to ruin it.
I stopped at the nurses’ station to check on Hector’s progress while Dylan went to his room. Our patient was recovering physically but the nurse was concerned that Hector was struggling emotionally. She said, “Kids usually bounce back fast, but he hardly speaks and never smiles.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector’s room
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para. 1:
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector’s room. I entered and found Dylan sitting on the edge of Hector’s bed wiping pieces of frozen drink from Hector’s mouth. Both boys were giggling and Hector was apparently enjoying the company. I spent the rest of the day speaking to doctors and watching my son playing with the special little boy. It was truly amazing to watch them interact, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Perhaps to the two of them it was.
Para. 2:
On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay. I told him this boy would get well but he had a hard road ahead of him. My son seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Then he declared his decision to join Healing the Children as a volunteer to help Hector and other children. I never thought that a moody teenager would take up the voluntary work and never again complain about his mother’s crazy work schedule.
【解析】

2.续写线索:儿子迪伦生气抱怨——带迪伦去医院——迪伦陪伴照顾患儿赫克托——迪伦担心赫克托——迪伦思考——迪伦宣布成为志愿者
