She also knew it was best to keep it to herself. Gagne bluntly outlines childhood tales of lying, stealing and home invasion — her efforts to feel emotions. She was bothered by her lack of normal emotions and was desperate to feel something. Get the Picture by Bianca Bosker Every page of Bianca Bosker’s deep dive into the art world made people laugh. Her research included working as a gallery assistant and selling pieces at an art fair. She got a job as a museum guard, once “protecting a pile of dust” that she was told was part of the art itself. Bosker also shared what she learned about how to look at art. The Burning Earth by Sunil Amrith First, don’t be put off by the title. The Burning Earth is an uplifting book, rather than a depressing one, though it’s a history of the terrible things human beings have done to the planet. The author moves smoothly from how global conquest and war reshaped Earth from 1218 onward to fascinating cultural analysis through an environmental lens. Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie Not the End of the World examines the evidence on pollution, extinction threats and deforestation caused by human activities. Once the numbers are clinically separated from emotion, a surprising guidebook to an eco-friendly life emerges. Hannah Ritchie’ s cautious optimism about global warming and her data-first approach make this book an invaluable chaser to climate anxiety. 1. What do we know about Patric Gagne’s childhood? A. She felt proud of being different. B. She shared feelings with friends. C. She tried to act as a normal child. D. She behaved badly to feel emotions. 2. Why is Bianca Bosker’s work experience mentioned? A. To show her humorous life stories. B. To highlight her practical research. C. To prove her knowledge about art. D. To demonstrate her talent for writing. 3. What do The Burning Earth and Not the End of the World have in common? A. They present content with data-based evidence. B. They express optimism about the environment. C. They analyze environmental problems historically. D. They involve human-related environmental issues. B Elysia Berman remembers the moment she realized her shopping was out of control. Last December, she ducked into a store to buy a pair of gloves. And she came out with a $600 coat that she didn’t need and couldn’t afford. “That was my breaking point,” she recalls. Berman, 35, knew she had an unhealthy relationship with shopping. So she decided to do something drastic (重大的). She’d try the no-buy challenge, a popular social media experiment that encourages people to buy less stuff. For a set time period — in her case, a whole year — she’d stop spending money on non-essential items. No clothes. No make-up. No home decorations. Instead,she’ d use what she had and buy second-hand. The challenge is harder than it seems. Berman, who is documenting her no-buy journey on theInternet, had to break her habit of buying 10 to 30 new items a week. And as a fashion industry professional, she was surrounded by the temptation to shop. Since starting the challenge in January, Berman says that her no-buy journey has helped her to consume more mindfully, save tens of thousands of dollars, pay down a quarter of her debt — and says her mental health has improved. “Essentially, I had gone through detox and withdrawal from the dopamine (多巴胺) you get from shopping,” she says, “I’ve seen a new level of dedication and focus that I wasn’t aware I was capable of before.” Could you live without shopping for a year? Try the “no-buy” challenge, whether your reason is to curb spending, cut back on fast fashion or reduce your carbon footprint. (About 10% of all carbon emissions come from the fashion industry, according to the United Nations. ) If no-buy challenge for a whole year is too restrictive for you, try it out for a few months— or even a couple of weeks. 4. Why did Elysia Berman decide to take the no-buy challenge? A. She wanted to follow a popular social media trend. B. She became aware of her unhealthy shopping behavior. C. She needed to save money for her career development. D. She was influenced by some fast fashion professionals. 5. What difficulty did Berman face during the no-buy challenge? A. Paying off her debt rapidly. B. Limiting second-hand consumption. C. Documenting her journey on the Internet. D. Resisting the temptation to make purchases. 6. Which is a benefit of Berman’s no-buy journey? A. More freedom in shopping. B. More dopamine from saving. C. Improvement in mental health. D. Success in the fashion industry. 7. What advice does the author give to those considering the no-buy challenge? A. Kicking the shopping habit at once. B. Setting a very strict rule for themselves. C. Adjusting the time-length of the challenge. D. Focusing more on reducing carbon footprint. C If you see an enormous, deadly funnel-web spider sitting on her egg sac (卵袋), your first instinct might be to run away. But the Australian Reptile Park (ARP) in New South Wales is urging residents of nearby Sydney to suppress that fear, remain calm, and carefully collect both the spider and her eggs in a secure container so they can be used to make life-saving antivenom (抗毒血清). Funnel-webs, whose most dangerous species lives in and around Sydney, are known for their deadly, fast-acting venom. Before the antivenom was introduced in 1981, 13 people died as a result of funnel-web bites. Since its introduction, there have been no fatalities. The Australian Reptile Park issues this callout to the public every November when the spiders’ breeding season begins and stresses its importance in helping to save lives. The zoo is the sole supplier of funnel-web spider antivenom, which it produces by milking the spiders collected. “With breeding season upon us and the weather creating ideal conditions, we rely on spider donations more than ever,” the zoo’s spider keeper, Emma Teni, said in a statement. “Male funnel-web spiders have short lifespans, and with approximately 150 spiders required to make just one small bottle of antivenom, we need the public’s help to ensure we have enough venom to meet demand.” The spiders frequent cool, damp areas with dense leaves, though the zoo warned that they can also be found in homes — especially in places like piles of laundry, shoes left outside, swimming pools and debris in gardens. People whose lives had been saved by the antivenom also urged the public to participate in the program. “ARP and your antivenom program saved my life in 1994,” Nicole Webber commented on the Australian Reptile Park’s Facebook post. “I can only thank you all. Please do support the program with safely captured spiders and finance.” 8. What is the ARP asking residents to do with funnel-web spiders? A. Run away from them. B. Collect them in a container. C. Display them in the park center. D. Protect their endangered habitats. 9. What can we learn from Emma Teni’s words? A. The zoo may lack antivenom without public help. B. The breeding season is the best time to study spiders. C. The public has shown less interest in donating spiders. D. The high demand for antivenom is barely met every year. 10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A To show the popularity of the ARP. B. To express gratitude to the government. C. To inspire people to participate in the program. D. To emphasize financial difficulties of the program. 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Funnel-Web Spiders: Most Dangerous Spider Species B. Australian Reptile Park: A Call for Community Reflection C. Saving Lives: Funnel-Web Spider Antivenom Production D. From Fear to Rescue: The Urgent Spider Collection Drive D Good relationships play a crucial role in maintaining our well-being, safeguarding us from various health issues and potentially increasing our lifespan. With the remarkable progress of AI, chatbots have emerged as versatile tools, functioning as personalized therapists, companions, and even romantic partners, leading to millions of downloads of related apps. MIT sociologist and psychologist Sherry Turkle has been delving into the relationship between humans and technology for decades. Her latest research centers on “artificial intimacy”. In a case, Turkle documented a man in a stable marriage who has formed a deep romantic connection with a chatbot “girlfriend”. He reported that he respected his wife, but she was busy taking care of their kids, and he felt they had lost their romantic spark. So he turned to a chatbot to express his thoughts, ideas, fears, and anxieties. Turkle pointed out that such relationships create an illusion of intimacy, which is a false sense of human closeness, lack genuine empathy, and may set unrealistic expectations for real-life human relationships. There are indeed some potential health benefits to these AI-based relationships. Therapy bots can break down the barriers of accessibility and affordability that otherwise hinder people from seeking mental health treatment. Personal assistant bots can remind people to take their medications, or help them stop smoking. However, drawbacks also exist. There are concerns about the chatbots offering harmful advice, especially to those in vulnerable mental states, and serious privacy issues as user data is collected without sufficient user control. According to Turkle, as soon as a user begins chatting with a bot, thousands of trackers go to work collecting data about them, including any private thoughts they shared. If you’re thinking of engaging with chatbots in this deeper, more intimate way, Turkle suggests that we should constantly bear in mind that they are not human, and we should always cherish the not-so-pleasant aspects of human relationships. Stress, friction, pushback and vulnerability are what allow us to experience a full range of emotions. It’s what makes us human. 12. What does the underlined word “versatile” in Para.1 probably mean? A. Multi-functional. B. Well-designed. C. Long-standing. D. Tailor-made. 13. What can be inferred from the example of the married man? A. Chatbots have little influence on real-life relationships. B. Married people develop attachments to chatbots easily. C. Chatbots can produce an unrea l feeling of closeness. D. AI provides us with emotional support in real social life. 14. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The future prospects of AI in different fields. B. The pros and cons of AI-human relationships. C. The comparison between different types of chatbots. D. The importance of privacy protection in AI technology. 15. What is Turkle’s attitude toward using chatbots? A. Cautious. B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Disgusting. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a world that often celebrates constant connectivity and social interaction, the art of solitude (独处) is a skill worth mastering.

My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, I was taken to another room while doctors gave my parents the bad news: I was born missing my left hand. Indeed, that announcement of my limb difference would come to define the rest of my life, and it might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. I’m told that a nurse wrapped me up, took me back into the room, placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home and love her. You will raise her like you would for any child. You will treat her as normal.” My parents took that admonition (告诫) seriously, and for the most part, it was great. As kids do,I quickly learned to adapt. I had my friend Jeff who had the similar experience. I figured out a way to do everything with one hand. I played sports, excelled in school and had plays with friends. While I did get some stares and“polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for my limb difference. However, not every challenge was that simple. That fact that I was different hit me hard on my first day of junior high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the yellow school bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm.The staring made me frightened and lose all my confidence in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I immediately slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, which turned into a month, even years. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I spent the next decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Interestingly, my encounter with Jeff convinced me to stop hiding my limb difference. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025届江西省高三年级4月联考检测 高三英语试卷 试卷共8页，67小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 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，你将有两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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

(加涅坦率地讲述了童年时撒谎、偷窃和入室行窃的故事 —— 这些都是她为了感受情感所做的尝试。她因自己缺乏正常情感而困扰，迫切地想要感受到些什么。)”可知，Patric Gagne在书中描述了自己通过一些不良的行为来填补情感空虚、寻找情绪感受的童年生活。故选D项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Get the Picture by Bianca Bosker部分的“Her research included working as a gallery assistant and selling pieces at an art fair. She got a job as a museum guard, once “protecting a pile of dust” that she was told was part of the art itself. Bosker also shared what she learned about how to look at art. (她的研究包括在一家画廊担任助理，并在一场艺术博览会上售卖艺术品。她还找到了一份博物馆保安的工作，有一次她“守护着一堆灰尘”，而别人告诉她这堆灰尘本身就是艺术品的一部分。博斯克还分享了她在如何欣赏艺术方面所学到的知识。)”可知，Bianca Bosker的经历表明她为了深入了解艺术世界进行了实际的调查研究工作，所以提到她的工作经历是为了突出她的实践研究。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Burning Earth by Sunil Amrith部分“First, don’t be put off by the title. The Burning Earth is an uplifting book, rather than a depressing one, though it’s a history of the terrible things human beings have done to the planet. The author moves smoothly from how global conquest and war reshaped Earth from 1218 onward to fascinating cultural analysis through an environmental lens. (首先，别被书名吓跑。《燃烧的地球》是一本令人振奋的书，而非令人沮丧之作，尽管它讲述的是人类对地球所做的种种可怕之事的历史。作者从1218年起全球征服与战争如何重塑地球，自然流畅地过渡到从环境视角进行引人入胜的文化分析。)”可知，这本书讲述了人类对地球所做的可怕事情的历史，从全球征服和战争如何重塑地球等方面进行了阐述；根据Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie部分的“Not the End of the World examines the evidence on pollution, extinction threats and deforestation caused by human activities. (《并非世界末日》审视了人类活动造成的污染、物种灭绝威胁和森林砍伐等方面的证据。)”可知，这本书研究了人类活动造成的污染、灭绝威胁和森林砍伐等证据。所以这两本书的共同之处是都涉及了与人类相关的环境问题。故选D项。 B Elysia Berman remembers the moment she realized her shopping was out of control. Last December, she ducked into a store to buy a pair of gloves. And she came out with a $600 coat that she didn’t need and couldn’t afford. “That was my breaking point,” she recalls. Berman, 35, knew she had an unhealthy relationship with shopping. So she decided to do something drastic (重大的). She’d try the no-buy challenge, a popular social media experiment that encourages people to buy less stuff. For a set time period — in her case, a whole year — she’d stop spending money on non-essential items. No clothes. No make-up. No home decorations. Instead,she’ d use what she had and buy second-hand. The challenge is harder than it seems. Berman, who is documenting her no-buy journey on theInternet, had to break her habit of buying 10 to 30 new items a week. And as a fashion industry professional, she was surrounded by the temptation to shop. Since starting the challenge in January, Berman says that her no-buy journey has helped her to consume more mindfully, save tens of thousands of dollars, pay down a quarter of her debt — and says her mental health has improved. “Essentially, I had gone through detox and withdrawal from the dopamine (多巴胺) you get from shopping,” she says, “I’ve seen a new level of dedication and focus that I wasn’t aware I was capable of before.” Could you live without shopping for a year? Try the “no-buy” challenge, whether your reason is to curb spending, cut back on fast fashion or reduce your carbon footprint. (About 10% of all carbon emissions come from the fashion industry, according to the United Nations. ) If no-buy challenge for a whole year is too restrictive for you, try it out for a few months— or even a couple of weeks. 4. Why did Elysia Berman decide to take the no-buy challenge? A. She wanted to follow a popular social media trend. B. She became aware of her unhealthy shopping behavior. C. She needed to save money for her career development. D. She was influenced by some fast fashion professionals. 5. What difficulty did Berman face during the no-buy challenge? A. Paying off her debt rapidly. B. Limiting second-hand consumption. C. Documenting her journey on the Internet. D. Resisting the temptation to make purchases. 6. Which is a benefit of Berman’s no-buy journey? A. More freedom in shopping. B. More dopamine from saving. C. Improvement in mental health. D. Success in the fashion industry. 7. What advice does the author give to those considering the no-buy challenge? A. Kicking the shopping habit at once. B. Setting a very strict rule for themselves. C. Adjusting the time-length of the challenge. D. Focusing more on reducing carbon footprint. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Elysia Berman因意识到自己购物失控，决定参加“不买挑战”，在挑战过程中她克服困难并收获诸多益处，最后作者鼓励读者尝试这一挑战并根据自身情况调整挑战时长。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Elysia Berman remembers the moment she realized her shopping was out of control. (伊丽西亚・伯曼记得自己意识到购物失控的那一刻。)” 以及第二段“Berman, 35, knew she had an unhealthy relationship with shopping. So she decided to do something drastic (重大的). (35岁的伯曼知道自己与购物之间存在一种不健康的关系。于是，她决定采取一些极端的措施。)”可知，ElysiaBerman决定参加不买挑战是因为她意识到自己不健康的购物行为，已经到了失控的地步。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The challenge is harder than it seems. Berman, who is documenting her no-buy journey on the Internet, had to break her habit of buying 10 to 30 new items a week. And as a fashion industry professional, she was surrounded by the temptation to shop. (这个挑战比看上去更难。伯曼正在网上记录自己的不购物之旅，她不得不改掉每周购买10到30件新物品的习惯。而且作为一名时尚行业的专业人士，她身边充斥着购物的诱惑。)”可知，作为时尚行业的专业人士，Berman的工作环境使她被购物的强烈诱惑包围，这是她面临的主要困难。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Since starting the challenge in January, Berman says that her no-buy journey has helped her to consume more mindfully, save tens of thousands of dollars, pay down a quarter of her debt — and says her mental health has improved. (自今年1月开始这项挑战以来，伯曼表示，她的不购买之旅帮助她更加理性地消费，节省了数万美元，偿还了四分之一的债务，而且她的心理健康状况也有所改善。)”可知，Berman的不买之旅带来的好处之一是心理健康得到了改善。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Could you live without shopping for a year? Try the “no-buy” challenge, whether your reason is to curb spending, cut back on fast fashion or reduce your carbon footprint. (About 10% of all carbon emissions come from the fashion industry, according to the United Nations. ) If no-buy challenge for a whole year is too restrictive for you, try it out for a few months— or even a couple of weeks. (你能一整年不购物吗？试试“不买”挑战吧，无论你的理由是控制开支、减少快时尚消费，还是降低你的碳足迹。（据联合国称，所有碳排放中约10%来自时尚产业。）如果一整年的不买挑战对你来说限制太大，那就尝试几个月，甚至几周。)”可知，作者建议考虑参加“不买挑战”的人根据自身情况调整挑战的时长，如果一年时间限制太多，可以尝试几个月甚至几周。故选C项。 C If you see an enormous, deadly funnel-web spider sitting on her egg sac (卵袋), your first instinct might be to run away. But the Australian Reptile Park (ARP) in New South Wales is urging residents of nearby Sydney to suppress that fear, remain calm, and carefully collect both the spider and her eggs in a secure container so they can be used to make life-saving antivenom (抗毒血清). Funnel-webs, whose most dangerous species lives in and around Sydney, are known for their deadly, fast-acting venom. Before the antivenom was introduced in 1981, 13 people died as a result of funnel-web bites. Since its introduction, there have been no fatalities. The Australian Reptile Park issues this callout to the public every November when the spiders’ breeding season begins and stresses its importance in helping to save lives. The zoo is the sole supplier of funnel-web spider antivenom, which it produces by milking the spiders collected. “With breeding season upon us and the weather creating ideal conditions, we rely on spider donations more than ever,” the zoo’s spider keeper, Emma Teni, said in a statement. “Male funnel-web spiders have short lifespans, and with approximately 150 spiders required to make just one small bottle of antivenom, we need the public’s help to ensure we have enough venom to meet demand.” The spiders frequent cool, damp areas with dense leaves, though the zoo warned that they can also be found in homes — especially in places like piles of laundry, shoes left outside, swimming pools and debris in gardens. People whose lives had been saved by the antivenom also urged the public to participate in the program. “ARP and your antivenom program saved my life in 1994,” Nicole Webber commented on the Australian Reptile Park’s Facebook post. “I can only thank you all. Please do support the program with safely captured spiders and finance.” 8. What is the ARP asking residents to do with funnel-web spiders? A. Run away from them. B. Collect them in a container. C. Display them in the park center. D. Protect their endangered habitats. 9. What can we learn from Emma Teni’s words? A. The zoo may lack antivenom without public help. B. The breeding season is the best time to study spiders. C. The public has shown less interest in donating spiders. D. The high demand for antivenom is barely met every year. 10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the ARP. B. To express gratitude to the government. C. To inspire people to participate in the program. D. To emphasize financial difficulties of the program. 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Funnel-Web Spiders: Most Dangerous Spider Species B. Australian Reptile Park: A Call for Community Reflection C. Saving Lives: Funnel-Web Spider Antivenom Production D. From Fear to Rescue: The Urgent Spider Collection Drive 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了澳大利亚爬行动物公园呼吁悉尼附近居民收集漏斗网蜘蛛及其卵袋用于制作抗毒血清，并阐述了漏斗网蜘蛛的危险性、抗毒血清的制作以及公众参与的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But the Australian Reptile Park (ARP) in New South Wales is urging residents of nearby Sydney to suppress that fear, remain calm, and carefully collect both the spider and her eggs in a secure container so they can be used to make life-saving antivenom (抗毒血清). (但位于新南威尔士州的澳大利亚爬行动物公园（ARP）正在敦促附近悉尼的居民克服这种恐惧，保持冷静，并小心地将蜘蛛及其卵收集到一个安全的容器中，以便用来制造救命的抗毒血清。)”可知，ARP要求居民把漏斗网蜘蛛收集在容器里。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““With breeding season upon us and the weather creating ideal conditions, we rely on spider donations more than ever,” the zoo’s spider keeper, Emma Teni, said in a statement. “Male funnel-web spiders have short lifespans, and with approximately 150 spiders required to make just one small bottle of antivenom, we need the public’s help to ensure we have enough venom to meet demand.” (该动物园的蜘蛛饲养员艾玛・特尼在一份声明中表示：“随着繁殖季节的到来，天气也创造了理想的条件，我们比以往任何时候都更依赖蜘蛛的捐赠。雄性漏斗网蜘蛛寿命较短，仅制作一小瓶抗蛇毒血清就大约需要150只蜘蛛，我们需要公众的帮助，以确保有足够的毒液来满足需求。”)”可推知，如果没有公众的帮助，动物园可能会缺乏抗毒血清。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“People whose lives had been saved by the antivenom also urged the public to participate in the program. “ARP and your antivenom program saved my life in 1994,” Nicole Webber commented on the Australian Reptile Park’s Facebook post. “I can only thank you all. Please do support the program with safely captured spiders and finance.” (那些被抗蛇毒血清挽救了生命的人也敦促公众参与这个项目。“澳大利亚爬行动物公园和你们的抗蛇毒血清项目在1994年救了我的命，”妮可・韦伯在澳大利亚爬行动物公园的脸书帖子下评论道，“我只能向你们所有人表示感谢。请用安全捕获的蜘蛛和资金支持这个项目。”)”可知，被抗毒血清救过命的人敦促公众参与这个项目，NicoleWebber还讲述了自己被救的经历并呼吁大家支持该项目。所以最后一段的目的是激励人们参与这个项目。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。总览全文可知，文章开头提到看到致命的漏斗网蜘蛛人们可能会害怕逃跑，接着介绍澳大利亚爬行动物公园呼吁公众克服恐惧，收集漏斗网蜘蛛及其卵用于制作抗毒血清，还说明了公众参与收集蜘蛛对制作抗毒血清拯救生命的重要性。所以D选项“From Fear to Rescue: The Urgent Spider Collection Drive (从恐惧到救援：紧急的蜘蛛收集行动)”，最具概括性，最适宜作为文章标题使用。故选D项。 D Good relationships play a crucial role in maintaining our well-being, safeguarding us from various health issues and potentially increasing our lifespan. With the remarkable progress of AI, chatbots have emerged as versatile tools, functioning as personalized therapists, companions, and even romantic partners, leading to millions of downloads of related apps. MIT sociologist and psychologist Sherry Turkle has been delving into the relationship between humans and technology for decades. Her latest research centers on “artificial intimacy”. In a case, Turkle documented a man in a stable marriage who has formed a deep romantic connection with a chatbot “girlfriend”. He reported that he respected his wife, but she was busy taking care of their kids, and he felt they had lost their romantic spark. So he turned to a chatbot to express his thoughts, ideas, fears, and anxieties. Turkle pointed out that such relationships create an illusion of intimacy, which is a false sense of human closeness, lack genuine empathy, and may set unrealistic expectations for real-life human relationships. There are indeed some potential health benefits to these AI-based relationships. Therapy bots can break down the barriers of accessibility and affordability that otherwise hinder people from seeking mental health treatment. Personal assistant bots can remind people to take their medications, or help them stop smoking. However, drawbacks also exist. There are concerns about the chatbots offering harmful advice, especially to those in vulnerable mental states, and serious privacy issues as user data is collected without sufficient user control. According to Turkle, as soon as a user begins chatting with a bot, thousands of trackers go to work collecting data about them, including any private thoughts they shared. If you’re thinking of engaging with chatbots in this deeper, more intimate way, Turkle suggests that we should constantly bear in mind that they are not human, and we should always cherish the not-so-pleasant aspects of human relationships. Stress, friction, pushback and vulnerability are what allow us to experience a full range of emotions. It’s what makes us human. 12. What does the underlined word “versatile” in Para.1 probably mean? A. Multi-functional. B. Well-designed. C. Long-standing. D. Tailor-made. 13. What can be inferred from the example of the married man? A. Chatbots have little influence on real-life relationships. B. Married people develop attachments to chatbots easily. C. Chatbots can produce an unrea l feeling of closeness. D. AI provides us with emotional support in real social life. 14. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The future prospects of AI in different fields. B. The pros and cons of AI-human relationships. C. The comparison between different types of chatbots. D. The importance of privacy protection in AI technology. 15. What is Turkle’s attitude toward using chatbots? A. Cautious. B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Disgusting. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了人工智能与人类关系，尤其是人工智能作为聊天机器人在人际交往中的作用，分析其带来的益处与存在的弊端，并给出使用建议。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后的“functioning as personalized therapists, companions, and even romantic partners (充当个性化的治疗师、伴侣，甚至是恋爱对象)”可知，聊天机器人有很多功能，由此猜测versatile与Multi-functional意思相近，意为“多功能的”。故选A项。 13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In a case, Turkle documented a man in a stable marriage who has formed a deep romantic connection with a chatbot “girlfriend”. He reported that he respected his wife, but she was busy taking care of their kids, and he felt they had lost their romantic spark. So he turned to a chatbot to express his thoughts, ideas,fears, and anxieties. Turkle pointed out that such relationships create an illusion of intimacy, which is a false sense of human closeness, lack genuine empathy, and may set unrealistic expectations for real-life human relationships. (在一个案例中，特克尔记录了一位婚姻稳定的男子，他与一个聊天机器人“女友”建立了深厚的浪漫关系。他表示自己尊重妻子，但妻子忙于照顾孩子，他觉得他们之间失去了浪漫的火花。于是，他转向聊天机器人来表达自己的想法、观点、恐惧和焦虑。特克尔指出，这种关系营造出一种亲密的假象，这是一种虚假的人与人之间的亲近感，缺乏真正的同理心，并且可能会对现实生活中的人际关系产生不切实际的期望)”可知，通过已婚男人移情智能聊天机器人的事例表明，聊天机器人虽能带来陪伴，但只是制造亲密假象，缺乏真正共情和真实生活中的情感体验，即聊天机器人能产生一种不真实的亲近感。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。第三段首句“There are indeed some potential health benefits to these AI-based relationships. (这些基于人工智能的关系确实可能对健康有一些潜在益处)”指出基于人工智能的关系确实有一些潜在的健康益处，接着列举了治疗机器人和个人助理机器人的好处；随后通过“However, drawbacks also exist. (然而，缺点也存在)”转折，指出聊天机器人存在提供有害建议和严重隐私问题等弊端。所以该段主要讲的是人工智能与人类关系的利弊。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“If you’re thinking of engaging with chatbots in this deeper, more intimate way, Turkle suggests that we should constantly bear in mind that they are not human, and we should always cherish the not-so-pleasant aspects of human relationships. Stress, friction, pushback and vulnerability are what allow us to experience a full range of emotions. It’s what makes us human. (如果你在考虑以这种更深入、更亲密的方式与聊天机器人互动，特克尔建议我们应该时刻牢记，它们不是人类，我们应该始终珍视人际关系中那些不那么令人愉快的方面。压力、摩擦、抵触和脆弱，正是这些让我们能够体验到全方位的情感。这也是人之为人的原因)”可知，Turkle建议人们在与聊天机器人互动时要认清其并非真正人类的本质，应该珍视人类关系中的真实情感体验，所以她对此持有谨慎的态度。故选A项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a world that often celebrates constant connectivity and social interaction, the art of solitude (独处) is a skill worth mastering.

Many artists, writers, and innovators seek solitude to tap into their creativity. (独处通过提供深入思考所需的精神空间和自由来提高创造力。许多艺术家、作家和创新者都寻求独处来挖掘自己的创造力)”可知，此处围绕独处对创造力的提升作用展开。G选项“Without distractions, you can fully immerse yourself in creative pursuits (没有干扰，你可以完全沉浸在创造性的追求中)”进一步阐述了在独处无干扰的情况下，人们能更好地投入到创造性活动中，与上文提到的独处对创造力的积极作用相呼应，同时也自然地引出下文“You can experiment with new concepts, take risks and explore unconventional solutions. (你可以尝试新的概念，冒险并探索非传统的解决方案)”中关于创造性活动的具体内容。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Whether you’re studying, working on a project, or pursuing a hobby, uninterrupted time alone can significantly boost productivity. It allows you to focus entirely on the task at hand without distractions. (无论你是在学习、处理一个项目，还是追求一项爱好，不间断的独处时间都能显著提高生产力。它能让你在没有干扰的情况下完全专注于手头的任务)”可知，此段主要讲述独处对提高效率和专注度的作用。D选项“Solitude provides an environment for deep work and concentration (独处为深度工作和专注提供了一个环境)”准确概括了该段主旨。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Intentionally carve out time in your schedule for solitude. (有意在你的日程安排中留出独处的时间)”以及下文“Treat this time as sacred and prioritize it like any other commitment. (把这段时间视为神圣的，像对待其他任何承诺一样优先安排它)”可知，此处提出了培养独处的方式，前一句提到在你的安排中有意留出独处的时间，后一句提到把这些时间看成是神圣的，像其他重要任务一样优先完成。E选项“It could be early mornings, evenings, or whatever fits your lifestyle (它可以是清晨、晚上，或者任何适合你生活方式的时间)”进一步顺承说明了上一句中“time”的具体内容，同时，也能与后一句中“this time”相呼应。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a little before 11 on a Sunny morning.

Seated 38. which 39. by 40. instantly 41. the 42. was admitted 43. playing 44. To connect 45. recognition 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了来自加州的Ghaffar Pourazar热衷于京剧，致力于将中国京剧传播海外的故事。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：但对于生活在加利福尼亚的Ghaffar Pourazar来说，几十年来，这个传奇人物一直是他身份的一部分。修饰名词“figure”要用“legend”的形容词形式。故填legendary。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在北京梨园剧院的后台镜子前就座，这是大多数外国游客常去的地方，Pourazar熟练地在脸上涂上白色、红色和黑色的颜料，把脸变成了充满活力的美猴王的样子。句中已有谓语动词applied，因此“seat”需用非谓语动词形式，因“seat”和句子主语“Pourazar”之间是被动关系，表示“就座”，所以用过去分词作状语，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Seated。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在北京梨园剧院的后台镜子前就座，这是大多数外国游客常去的地方，Pourazar熟练地在脸上涂上白色、红色和黑色的颜料，把脸变成了充满活力的美猴王的样子。分析句子结构可知，空前内容为非谓语动词作状语，空格处所在的句子“___3___ is visited by most foreign travelers frequently”为非限制性定语从句，其后的句子为主句。在此定语从句中，先行词是前面的“Beijing’s Liyuan Theater”，关系词在从句中作宾语，指物。故填 which。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：Pourazar对京剧的毕生热爱是偶然开始的。“by chance”是固定短语，意为“偶然地”，符合语境。故填by。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：1993年，32岁的Pourazar在伦敦伊丽莎白女王大厅观看了一场演出，立刻被吸引住了。修饰动词“attracted”要用“instant”的副词形式，意为“立刻，马上”。故填instantly。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：他去了后台，和中国演员们交上了朋友。“back stage”此处表示特指“那个演出的后台”，所以应用定冠词来修饰限定。故填the。 【42题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：在中国剧团团长的帮助下，第二年Pourazar被北京的一所戏曲学校录取了。根据时间状语“the following year”可知，事情发生在过去，应用一般过去时；“Pourazar”和“admit”之间是被动关系，要用被动语态，且主语是第三人称单数，所以be动词用was。故填was admitted。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：最初，他专注于扮演像武松和林冲这样的古代士兵和将领，之后才转变为标志性的美猴王角色。“focus on doing sth.”是固定短语，意为“专注于做某事”，所以此处用动名词作宾语。故填playing。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了更好地与西方观众和学习者建立联系，他把一些经典剧目改编成了英语版本。根据句意可知，“he adapted some classic plays into English versions”的目的是“connect with Western audiences and learners better”，所以用动词不定式作目的状语，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填To connect。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：为了表彰他的贡献，Pourazar获得了北京市政府颁发的长城友谊奖。“in recognition of...”是固定短语，意为“为了表彰……；鉴于……”，所以此处应用recognize的名词形式。故填recognition。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校外籍交换生Eddie给你发了一封邮件，想让你为他推荐一款应用APP，用来学习中国语言和文化，请你用英语给他回复。内容包括： 1.APP名称及推荐理由； 2.表达祝愿。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Eddie, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Eddie, I hope this letter finds you well.

My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, I was taken to another room while doctors gave my parents the bad news: I was born missing my left hand. Indeed, that announcement of my limb difference would come to define the rest of my life, and it might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. I’m told that a nurse wrapped me up, took me back into the room, placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home and love her. You will raise her like you would for any child. You will treat her as normal.” My parents took that admonition (告诫) seriously, and for the most part, it was great. As kids do,I quickly learned to adapt. I had my friend Jeff who had the similar experience. I figured out a way to do everything with one hand. I played sports, excelled in school and had plays with friends. While I did get some stares and“polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for my limb difference. However, not every challenge was that simple. That fact that I was different hit me hard on my first day of junior high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the yellow school bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm.The staring made me frightened and lose all my confidence in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I immediately slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, which turned into a month, even years. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I spent the next decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Interestingly, my encounter with Jeff convinced me to stop hiding my limb difference. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I spent the next decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. I’d keep it in my pocket, cover it with extra-long sleeves or put it behind bags or underneath jackets. In my mind, I had decided that my missing hand made me ugly and that if people knew about it, they would be scared of me and not want to be around me anymore.Honestly, I was terrified that if I exposed my limb difference, people would keep me at a distance. I felt lonely and scared all the time. Interestingly, my encounter with Jeff convinced me to stop hiding my limb difference. Jeff was a disabled man who understood me very well. He always inspired me to love myself. His positivity deeply impressed me. We chatted and shared a lot before one day, I felt ready to unhide my limb difference to him. He encouraged me to see my limb difference as something unique and beautiful. It was a life-changing experience, and through that process, I learned to love myself. This ability to love myself changed how I lived my entire life, and it made me happier. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的经历为线索，讲述了作者出生时左手缺失，成长过程中在父母正确教导下起初能正常生活，初中时因他人异样目光开始隐藏肢体差异，多年后与朋友Jeff相遇并在其影响下不再隐藏的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“在接下来的几十年里，我一直时刻隐藏着自己肢体残缺的情况。”可知，第一段可描写作者在这几十年间如何隐藏肢体差异，包括具体的隐藏行为、内心的想法以及这样做带来的感受等。同时可深入阐述作者认为自己的肢体差异会让自己不被他人接受，从而产生孤独和害怕的情绪。 ②由第二段首句“有趣的是，我与Jeff的相遇让我下定决心不再隐瞒自己肢体残缺的事实。”可知，第二段可描写作者与Jeff相遇后，Jeff对作者产生的影响，以及作者心态和行为的转变过程。 2. 续写线索：作者多年隐藏肢体差异——内心孤独害怕——与Jeff相遇——Jeff鼓励作者——作者接受自己并改变 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①隐藏：hide/conceal ②暴露：expose/uncover ③接受：accept/embrace 情感类： ①孤独：lonely/solitary ②害怕：scared/frightened ③快乐：happy/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型 1].
