(2024·淄博高二期末)AI is a machine's ability to perform the cognitive (认知的) functions we associate with human minds, such as reasoning, learning, interacting with an environment, problem solving, and even exercising creativity. You've probably interacted with AI even if you didn't realize it—voice assistants like Siri and Alexa are founded on AI technology, as are some customer service chatbots that pop up to aid you to explore websites.
By using artificial intelligence, companies have the potential to make business more efficient and profitable. But ultimately, the value of artificial intelligence isn't in the systems themselves but in how companies use those systems to assist humans—and their ability to explain what those systems do—in a way that builds and earns trust.
Since they are so new, we have yet to see the longtail effect of AI models. This means there are some risks involved in using them—some known and some unknown.
The outputs AI models produce may often sound extremely convincing. This is by design. But sometimes the information they generate is just plain wrong. Worse, sometimes it's biased,_because it's built on the gender, racial, and various other limitations of the internet and society more generally. And it can even be operated to enable immoral or criminal activity.
These risks can be reduced, however, in a few ways. For one, it's crucial to carefully select the initial data used to tarin these models to avoid including toxic (中毒的) or incorrect content. Next, rather than operating an offtheshelf generativeAI model, organizations could consider using smaller, specialized models. Organizations with more resources could also customize a general model based on their own data to fit their needs and minimize shortcoming. Organizations should also keep a human in the process—make sure a real human checks the output of a generativeAI model before it is published or used, and avoid using generativeAI models for critical decisions, such as those involving significant resources or human welfare.

(2024·武汉高二联考)In late May, America announced a plan to greatly expand offshore wind energy installations (安装) along the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts, with the ultimate goal of adding clean energy enough to power 10 million homes by 2030. But is it realistic?
Those standing on the side of answering yes to this question understand that innovation (创新) is the key to pulling off the project. Unlike the open plains and rounded hills that traditionally host wind turbines, analyzing the seafloor situation for proper placement isn't a simple exercise. With only 20% of the ocean seafloor mapped, we basically know more about the surface of Mars than we do Earth's hidden depths.
Startup Bedrock is aiming to help shine a light on this problem by detecting the seas with its new electric selfdriven underwater vehicles (AUV). Traditional ocean mapping techniques are shipbased, usually limited to the surface. Thus, traditional sea surveys can take up to a year to collect and process data. But Bedrock's AUVs send data to a cloudbased platform called Mosaic that allows computers to start working with the results nearly right away and from anywhere in the world.
While using AUVs to map the seafloor helps improve our understanding of Earth's oceans, Bedrock was careful that this do not come at the expense of sea life. The company uses smaller sensors that are close to the seafloor and operate in sound frequencies safe for animals. In addition, the AUVs only travel at roughly 2.3mph to 3.45mph, which reduces the chance of animal or environmental damage as they are moving.
Beyond the offshore wind industry, Bedrock is also exploring other ways its AUVs might benefit other marinebased efforts. “Currently our AUV surveys are designed for offshore wind projects, cable laying, nearshore environmental mapping for coastal management,” says Bedrock CEO and cofounder DiMare. “In the future, we're also capable of serving new markets, helping to make ambitious government goals a reality.”
5.Why is the surface of Mars mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To raise a doubt. B.To prove a point.
C.To explain a rule. D.To make a prediction.
6.What advantage does Bedrock's AUV mapping have over traditional techniques?
A.It processes data faster. B.It is more energysaving.
C.It uses more platforms. D.It sends data in greater amount.
7.What can be inferred about Bedrock's AUVs from the last two paragraphs?
A.They have served new markets. B.They are environmentallyfriendly.
C.They are equipped with newer sensors. D.They work with high sound frequencies.
8.What is DiMare's attitude to the future of AUV?
A.Confident. B.Unclear. C.Doubtful. D.Cautious.

(2024·烟台高二期末)On the farm in a red outbuilding behind Luther Jackson Middle School, Mark Smith picked a piece of cabbage off the plant and took a bite.
“Tastes like victory,” he said, satisfied.
Fifteen engineering students at the school, led by Smith, their engineering teacher, have developed and built the farm using aquaponics technology, combining the methods of hydroponics, growing plants with water rather than soil, and aquaculture, the process of growing and raising fish. The fish waste is used as nutrients for the plants, which filter (过滤) the water to be reused in the fish tank.
“The innovative project was put forward by the students,” Smith says. “Effectively combining technology with education, it serves to provide a unique learning experience, involving students in core STEM subjects like Math, Biology, Chemistry and Engineering. It's our hope that it can help boost students' interest and handson skills so that more students will be inspired and choose to take up engineering as their career in the future.”
Not only can students study fish, plants and bacteria(细菌) interacting in a living ecosystem, but they're also in charge of every aspect of developing and maintaining the farm, from ordering supplies to harvesting the greens. Camryn, 14, put a test tube into the fish tank and dropped some chemicals to test pH levels and some substances in it. She held the tube up to light, inspecting the color.
Behind her, Yusuf worked along a table with other students to harvest the cabbage, stuffing the leaves into bags to distribute later that afternoon to about 70 families. For him, the ability to give back to his community is the best part of the project.
“We should all be proud of ourselves,” Yusuf said. “We're making stuff that people are going to be eating.”
9.What's the technology the students apply to the farm?
A.Robotics and artificial intelligence.
B.Mechanized planting and harvesting.
C.Sustaining good bacteria to grow grain.
D.Integrating fish farming and soilless planting.
10.What does Smith wish to do through the project?
A.Create more potential engineers.
B.Promote students' survival skills.
C.Enhance the reputation of the school.
D.Teach students how to test water quality.
11.What makes Yusuf feel best about the project?
A.Praise from his community. B.His mastery of farming techniques.
C.The company of his classmates. D.Their contributions to the neighborhood.
12.Which of the following best describes the school project?
A.Demanding. B.Conventional.
C.Studentcentered. D.Energyconsuming.

(2024·衡阳高二期中)The wandering Earth Ⅱ, a sciencefiction movie, has aroused hot debate among galaxy scientists and sciencefiction writers, both in China and overseas. Among them, John Gribbin, a UKbased science writer, speaks highly of rising science education in China and says that's what makes science fiction prosper.
“It is very important in this technological age for people to understand the fundamentals of science, and then popular science writing can inform them of the world around them,” he says. “This is a bit like music. Even if you are not a great musician, if you know a little bit, you gain a deeper appreciation of great music.” Zhou Binghong, a researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology, holds a similar view. “The more scientific knowledge one gains, the more questions he or she will have about how the world runs. This leaves them wanting to know more, especially youngsters.”
Both episodes of The Wandering Earth include quite a few imagined technologies that need basic scientific knowledge to understand. In the latest one, for example, what aroused most fierce discussions among the public is a “space elevator” that enables astronauts to complete their trips to space by taking an elevator instead of a rocket. On various platforms, there are discussions about whether such an elevator is possible. If it is, what materials would be used?
For Zhou, such discussions themselves mean the public has a taste for science. He says, “Interest marks the first step toward creativity. Who knows who will emerge as an engineer for such an elevator in 50 years' time?”
Impressed by the progress of sciencerelated industries in China, Gribbin says that, “It is going from strength to strength,” and that, “China is one of the leading countries for scientific research and technological development, and the Chinese people are naturally interested in these developments.”
13.What leads to the popularity of science fiction according to paragraph 1?
A.The charm of science. B.The attraction of literature.
C.The popularity of the film. D.The development of science education.
14.Why does the author mention the music in paragraph 2?
A.To stress music is necessary in science.
B.To tell why music appreciation is important.
C.To show the relationship between music and science.
D.To indicate the importance of learning scientific knowledge.
15.Which is the function of “space elevator” in The Wandering Earth?
A.It helps control the rocket.
B.It sends astronauts into space.
C.It enables astronauts to walk in space.
D.It maintains astronauts' safety in space.
16.Which of the following can be the best title for this text?
A.Putting Science into Fiction
B.Fictions Gaining Popularity
C.Science Planting Seeds of Hope
D.A Leading Country for Scientific Research

(2024·昆明高二期末)Death is a part of life and it's natural to grieve (悲伤) when an animal you love dies. Grieving is the emotional response to death. __1__
A pet is part of the family, so when they die it can be very difficult and upsetting for everyone who love them. It's OK to feel sad, angry, numb or to feel hard to believe they're no longer alive. You may have lots of feelings but there's no right way to feel or to grieve. As people are all different, the length of time it takes for you to feel less sad may not be the same as for someone else.__2__ Dipti Solanki, who helps people with their grief, says, “Your feelings matter and are normal after you lose a pet. They can feel really big and overwhelming.”
__3__ Solanki says, “It's really important that you talk about feeling sad, afraid or if you have any questions, because once you do you will start to feel calmer and less alone. __4__” Talking about your pet helps to keep their memory alive as you remember the time you spent together. It also lets other people know that you want to talk about your pet.
Remembering the funny things your pet did and the happy times you shared can be of great help.__5__ Print out photos of your pet and frame them or make them into a collage (拼贴画) to display. You can draw or paint a picture of them. Or write a story about something you did together or how they made you feel.
A.It doesn't mean pets are not important.
B.There's no rush and you can take your time.
C.It is an important part of the healing process.
D.As well as talking about them, you can get creative.
E.After you share your feelings they become easier to deal with.

How to be more productive in your first hour of work
After you grab a coffee, chat with your coworkers and scan your emails, the first hour of your workday has blown by.__1__.
Have breakfast before work
__2__. Sitting in front of the computer with food and coffee make you more likely to surf blogs and social media instead of jumping to important tasks. You can't really work when you've got a spoon in hand and are constantly reaching for something.
Make the right todo list
Most people write todo lists with easy tasks on top so they can feel good about crossing those items off.___3__. Instead, organize your list with longterm goals on top to remind you of what's most important, and daily goals at the bottom to plan how you'll reach them. Daily tasks should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and have a timetable.
__4__
Instead of scanning through your email or social media, figure out what's challenging you the most. Ideally, tackle the thing that most has your attention. Often it's the thing that's most bothering you. Getting that stressor out of the way will make you more relaxed throughout the day.
Set a timer
Force yourself to stay in the zone by setting strict periods of uninterrupted work. Setting a 50minute timer will give a long enough period to get into the zone and make progress in your work before taking a 10minute break. __5__, but a separate kitchen timer or hourglass are recommended for a visual reminder that keeps your hands away from the distraction of your phone notifications.
A.Remind yourself of the big picture
B.Most phones have builtin stopwatches
C.Here are some ways to keep you energetic

(2024·南京高二期中)Imagine that as you are boarding an airplane, half the engineers who built the plane tell you there is a 10 percent chance the plane will crash, killing you and everyone else on board. Would you still board?
In 2022, over 700 top academics and researchers behind the leading artificial intelligence companies were asked in a survey about future AI risk. Half of those surveyed stated that there was a 10 percent or greater chance of human extinction from future AI systems.__1__
The fear of AI has haunted humanity since the mid20th century, yet until recently it has remained a distant prospect, something that belongs in scifi more than in serious scientific and political debates.__2__ It is even harder to grasp the speed at which these tools are developing even more advanced and powerful capabilities. But most of the key skills boil down to one thing:the ability to manipulate (操纵) and generate language, whether with words, sounds or images.
In the beginning was the word.__3__ From language emerges myth and law, goods and money, art and science, friendships and nations—even computer code. AI's new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization. What would it mean for humans to live in a world where a large percentage of stories, melodies, images, laws, policies and tools are shaped by nonhuman intelligence? __4__What happens when the same thing occurs in art, politics, and even religion?
__5__We are surrounded by culture, experiencing reality through a cultural prism (棱镜). Our views are shaped by the reports of journalists and the accounts of friends. What will it be like to experience reality through a prism produced by nonhuman intelligence? The time to reckon with AI is before our politics, our economy and our daily life become dependent on it.
A.Humans often don't have direct access to reality.
B.Language is the operating system of human culture.
C.In games like chess, no human can hope to beat a computer.
D.By gaining mastery of language, AI is seizing the master key to civilization.
E.Technology companies are caught in a race to put all of humanity on that plane.
F.For thousands of years we humans have lived inside the dreams of other humans.
G.It's difficult for human minds to grasp the capabilities of GPT4 and similar tools.

A Way Out of Social Anxiety: Volunteering and Acts of Kindness
As a socially anxious introvert (内向的人), I can prove the benefits of serving others through volunteering in my community.
A volunteer job doesn't need to require stepping into a busy room full of 100 people at a school or hospital.__1__ This kind of work is much more suitable and agreeable for introverts.
__2__ When I help elders or people with disabilities who are more isolated and lonelier than I am, I feel my nervousness and selfconsciousness disappear. My social awkwardness loses its grip on me when I'm focused on helping someone else rather than myself or my social performance. Unlike showing up at a job interview, business meeting, or speaking engagement, working as a volunteer with people in need takes the spotlight away from being measured or judged.__3__
Social scientists have an suitable name for stressful social situations where we need to perform and would likely be judged or evaluated. Any time we are in evaluative situations where we are judged by others, we face this socialevaluative threat and endure a sudden rush of stress hormones that increase anxiety. When we are in situations where we offer acts of kindness or help others, however, we tend to feel less judged by others. __4__ Neuroscientists have studied the warm glow of doing good that makes us feel good.
“Kindness may help socially anxious people,” says Dr. Lynn Alden, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia.__5__ She found that acts of kindness may help to counter the socially anxious persons fear of negative evaluation by promoting more positive perceptions and expectations of how other people will respond.
A.Some people are naturally reserved while others are rather outgoing.
B.Indeed, my own act of kindness has always been a sure bet to bring me out of my shell.
C.In social anxiety disorder, fear and anxiety lead to avoidance which can disrupt our life.
D.When I am giving my free time to help others, I feel truly liberated in my mission to serve.
E.Instead, my volunteer service consists of quiet oneonone visits with isolated older adults.
F.These situations do not pose such a socialevaluative threat, but instead, calms and soothes us.
G.She and her colleagues conducted a study with 115 undergraduates who had reported high levels of social anxiety.
E
I remember from a young age being attracted by the world around me.Whenever I observed my surroundings,I would always wonder about what they were made of.__1__After a little time had passed,this curiosity was developed by my high school chemistry teacher,which was finally furthered as I got my doctor's degree in chemistry while I was at university.From that time on,I have continuously developed my understanding and have been working in the chemical industry.It has been a decade now and my interest in chemistry has never dropped off.__2__ And I have improved my understanding in this field of study.
In this day and age,as a means to continuously increase an interest in the natural sciences in your child,labs are available that provide an ideal learning environment for modern students.__3__ In the lab,your children can do a great job of discovering this fascinating field of study.Designing a simple science project lab with education in mind is possible with home chemistry labs that can be bought from respected colleges or universities.
Science jobs in these subjects are and will continue to be required by industry and society.__4__One of the most important ways parents can help their children develop an interest in mathematics,science,and technology is by showing attitudes and values that support learning.__5__The sooner the children begins to learn about a field of study,the more prepared they will be to face the challenges that these subjects might offer.
A.These days,you can make a home chemistry lab.
B.Instead,it has increased as I have continued to learn.
C.Encourage your children to find out about different jobs.
D.They require great attention to details,teamwork and skills.
E.A particular field of study which I was most interested in was chemistry.
F.Help children see mathematics,science and technology that exist around them.
G.For a student to do well in science,having knowledge of it in advance is necessary.

2.G 根据下文“It is even harder to grasp the speed at which these tools are developing even more advanced and powerful capabilities.(要掌握这些工具开发更先进、更强大功能的速度就更难了。)”中的even harder推知,空处陈述了一种人类难以掌握的工具。G项“It's difficult for human minds to grasp the capabilities of GPT4 and similar tools.(人类很难掌握GPT4和类似工具的功能。)”符合题意,difficult呼应下文harder, 下文these tools指代选项中的GPT4 and similar tools。故选G。
3.B 根据下文“From language emerges myth and law, goods and money, art and science, friendships and nations—even computer code.(从语言中产生了神话和法律、商品和金钱、艺术和科学、友谊和国家,甚至计算机代码。)”可知,语言对人类来说尤为重要。再结合“AI's new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization.(人工智能对语言的新掌握意味着它现在可以破解和操纵文明的操作系统。)”推知,语言之所以重要是因为它是人类的操作系统。B项“Language is the operating system of human culture.(语言是人类文化的操作系统。)”符合题意。故选B。
4.C 根据上文“AI's new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization.(人工智能对语言的新掌握意味着它现在可以破解和操纵文明的操作系统。)”和下文“What happens when the same thing occurs in art, politics, and even religion?(当同样的事情发生在艺术、政治甚至宗教中时会发生什么?)”推知,空处提到了一种人工智能操纵或者打败人类的情况,而当这样的事情发生在艺术、政治甚至宗教中时可能会产生难以预料的后果。C项“In games like chess, no human can hope to beat a computer.(在像国际象棋这样的游戏中,没有人能指望打败电脑。)”符合语境,下文的“the same thing”指代选项内容。故选C。
5.A 空处位于段首,应总起下文。根据下文“We are surrounded by culture, experiencing reality through a cultural prism (棱镜). Our views are shaped by the reports of journalists and the accounts of friends. What will it be like to experience reality through a prism produced by nonhuman intelligence?(我们被文化包围,通过文化棱镜体验现实。记者的报道和朋友的描述塑造了我们的观点。通过非人类智慧产生的棱镜来体验现实会是什么样子?)”可知,我们的观点通常都是根据记者的报道和朋友的描述形成的,由此推知,人类很少直接接触现实。A项“Humans often don't have direct access to reality.(人类通常无法直接接触现实。)”符合题意,总起下文,reality是关键词。故选A。
D——【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了摆脱社交焦虑的方法:通过志愿服务和善举。
