了英国曾于2020年宣布从2030年起禁止销售新
的汽油和柴油汽车,这引 起 了 人 们 的 广 泛 关 注.
但是,说起来容易做起来难,全球汽车产业电动化

“Currently,batterylifeisanissue—afuly

anotherissuethatmaydeterpeopleswitching
toelectricpower.ButsomecountriesofferenG
couragingmeasures,suchascuttingpricesby
reducingimporttaxes,andnotchargingfor
roadtaxandparking.”可知,“But”前后为转折
关系.其后为国家的鼓励措施,故可推知,其前
应为电力车推广的阻碍因素,故“deter”词义应
为“阻碍”.]
7.D [推 理 判 断 题.根 据 最 后 一 段 “ButColin

[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文.文章主要介绍了
AI聊天机器人在提供心理支持方面的利弊,以及
与人类真正同理心的差距.

AI,undisturbedbyembarrassmentandburnG

心)moreopenlyandtirelesslythanhumans.”
可知,这里提到人工智能因为不受尴尬和疲惫
的影响,可能在表达同理心上比人类更开放、不
知疲倦,因此对于某些专家来说,这是人工智能
在心理健康支持方面的优势,是一种好事.所
以boon在这里意为“好事,益处”.故选C.]

analysisaboutempathylookedat52studies
published between 1980 and 2019, which

知,关于同理心的最近分析表明,同理心的首要
条件是能够识别另一个人的感受.故选B.]
10.A [细节理解题.根据第四段的“Onthefirst

人工智能如 ChatGPT 能够识别我们的情感并
做出适当的反应,这是基于大量语言模型对数

感支持.这表明,虽然 ChatGPT 能提供一定的
帮助,但在作者看来,它的人工善意仍然不能与

食用克隆动物的三个忧虑.
12.D [细节理解题.根据第二段的内容,尤其是
“TheFDAhasstatedthatclonedanimalprodG
uctsaresafeforconsumption,andhasperG
formedmanystudiestosupportthisview.”
FDA已经声明克隆动物产品是安全的,并进行
了许多研究来支持这一观点,可知,FDA 认为
克隆动物产品在很多方面被证明是安全的,所
以允许食用克隆动物产品.]
13.A [细节理解题.由第四段的第二句“MakG

贵,可知,克隆动物花费了很多的努力和耗费
了大量金钱.]
14.C [推理判断题.由最后一段内容,尤其是“If
theFDA doesnotmakelabeling (贴 标 签)
laws,people maynotbeableto makeinG

不从法律上标明,人们可能无法对他们的食物
做出明智的选择.可以推断出,应该制定法律
来保护人们选择食物的权利.]
15.D [主旨大意题.这篇文章是总分结构,开头
提出FDA 建议允许克隆动物和克隆动物产品
进入美国的食品供应.第三段提出了食用克
隆动物的三个顾虑,第一,克隆组织和动物产
品是否真正安全的问题;第二,许多克隆动物
也是转基因动物,FDA 曾表示转基因动物食材
不安全;第 三,消 费 者 希 望 能 够 选 择 吃 什 么.
第四、五、六 段 分 别 仔 细 论 述 了 这 三 个 忧 虑.
可以推断出这篇文章主要探讨了食用克隆动
物的担忧.]

良的健康结果.)符合语境,对本段有总括作用,
其中poorhealthresults与下文例举的疾病对
应.故选C项.]
2.A [由 上 文 “Food manufacturersarguethat
processingincreasesfoodsafetyandfoodsupG
plies.(食品制造商认为,深加工可以提高食品
安全和食品供应.)”可知,这里是食品加工商为
自己的行为辩解,说深加工食品有助于食品安
全,而 A 项ItalsoprovidesadiverseandnutriG
tiousdieteasily.(它还可以轻松提供多样化和
营养丰富的饮食.)符合语境,都是食品加工商
为自 己 的 行 为 辩 解 的 理 由,其 中it代 指 上 文
