Passage 01
(23-24高一下·北京丰台·期末)A Perspective article published in Nature this week says that AI systems pose a further risk: that researchers envision such tools as possessed of superhuman abilities when it comes to objectivity, productivity and understanding complex concepts. Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now, while AI applications are still nascent (未成熟的), because they will be much more difficult to address if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research pipeline”, write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett.
In this article, Messeri and Crockett put together a picture of the ways in which scientists see AI systems as enhancing human capabilities. In one ‘vision’, which they call AI as Oracle, researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers, and so survey the scientific literature more exhaustively than people can. In both Oracle and another vision, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings more objectively than do people, because they are less likely to cherry-pick the literature to support a desired hypothesis or to show favouritism in peer review. In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to surpass the limits of the human mind in analyzing vast and complex data. In the fourth, AI as Surrogate, AI tools simulate (模拟) data that are too difficult or complex to obtain.
Informed by anthropology and cognitive science, Messeri and Crockett predict risks that arise from these visions. One is the illusion of explanatory depth, in which people relying on another person — or, in this case, an algorithm — for knowledge have a tendency to mistake that knowledge for their own and think their understanding is deeper than it actually is.
Another risk is that research becomes skewed towards studying the kinds of thing that AI systems can test — the researchers call this the illusion of exploratory breadth. For example, in social science, the vision of AI as Surrogate could encourage experiments involving human behaviors that can be simulated by an AI — and discourage those on behaviors that cannot, such as anything that requires being embodied physically.
There’s also the illusion of objectivity, in which researchers see AI systems as representing all possible viewpoints or not having a viewpoint. In fact, these tools reflect only the viewpoints found in the data they have been trained on, and are known to adopt the biases (偏见) found in those data. “There’s a risk that we forget that there are certain questions we just can’t answer about human beings using AI tools,” says Crockett. The illusion of objectivity is particularly worrying given the benefits of including diverse viewpoints in research.
If you’re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies. One is to map your proposed use to one of the visions, and consider which traps you are most likely to fall into. Another approach is to be deliberate about how you use AI. Deploying AI tools to save time on something your team already has expertise in is less risky than using them to provide expertise you just don’t have, says Crockett.

Passage 02
(23-24高一下·江苏常州·期末)“The news is ... there is no news.” With those words, outside St Mary’s Hospital in London awaiting the birth of Prince George in July 2013, my reporting for the BBC went viral on the Internet. Not for what I was saying but the way I was saying it. The helpless look. The depressed tone. Viewers could relate to me. Because they are human. And so am I.
Fedha is not human. Yes, the fair-haired woman looks human. This week she was introduced as the first presenter in Kuwait who works by artificial intelligence. “What kind of news do you prefer? Let's hear your opinions,” she says in Arabic. AI newsreaders actually never make a cock-up of their jobs. They can skip the mispronunciations, the complaints over foundation colours in makeup, and even the stresses over too-weak hairspray.
To examine the problems that may come with an AI newsreader, I thought I would turn the tables and ask Genie — the chatbot powered by ChatGPT. “They may struggle with delivering the news in a way that is appealing to viewers,” Genie says. I get that. As far as delivering the news is concerned, the face and voice behind it matters.
My ChatGPT friend also tells me that there are concerns about the potential for AI newsreaders to be used to spread false information, as they may not be able to determine the correctness of a story’s source. Not just in the delivery of news, but in its content. AI is already involved in the spread of “untrue news” — and that will only get worse. At a time when trust in news providers is reducing, the next few years threaten to be very challenging if that trust is to be regained.
One of the main concerns about AI newsreaders is that they lack the human touch and emotion. I have delivered some of the biggest stories. Whether it be an air attack or the death of a major figure, it's not just the words that matter. You need to look and sound right. An AI newsreader cannot convey (传达) a reaction to a breaking story.
5.How did viewers react according to paragraph 1?
A.They found the reporting confusing. B.They felt excited about the reporting.
C.They considered the author unprofessional. D.They knew the author’s thoughts and feelings.
6.What does the underlined part “make a cock-up of” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Talk about. B.Make a fool of.
C.Keep an eye on. D.Mess up.
7.What does Genie think of AI newsreaders?
A.They may deliver misleading news. B.They can locate the source of a news story.
C.They interact with viewers in an improper way. D.They wear the same facial expressions as humans.
8.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To voice his doubt about AI newsreaders. B.To share his experience of being a reporter.
C.To introduce an AI newsreader called Fedha. D.To show ChatGPT's impact on news reporting.
Passage 03
(23-24高一下·湖南·期末)For more than 75 years, mathematicians have been confused about how to divide resources to make everyone satisfied. For example, how can you cut a cake to make sure everyone at the party is happy with what they get. The “I cut, you choose” method works for two people. What about sharing among three or more?
Hugo Steinhaus was a pioneer devoted to this complexity (复杂性). He came up with an improved I-cut-you-choose way for three players, the lone-divider method.
Here, someone cuts the cake. Let’s call her Alice. She cuts the cake into three pieces that she values equally. Then a second person, Bob, says which of the pieces he would accept. If he agrees on at least two pieces, then the third person, Carla, can take any piece she wants. At least one of the remaining pieces is acceptable to Bob, so he picks next. Alice gets what’s left. If Bob and Carla both reject the same piece, that piece goes to Alice. The remaining two pieces are recombined and shared between Bob and Carla using I-cut-you-choose.
Steinhaus also discussed the “last-cutter” method for any number of cake eaters. But in both the lone-divider and last-cutter approaches, a person who gets an early piece may see a later one they wish they had instead-even though they had at first thought their piece was fair.
“Cake works as a stand-in for anything that can be divided,” says Steven Brams, a political scientist at New York University. “Though cake-cutting ideas have some disadvantages, they have real-world uses. How can food be divided up between communities? How should roommates share work? How can communities draw boundaries (边界线)?”
9.What did Hugo Steinhaus use the cake-cutting way to study?
A.Fairness. B.Kindness. C.Happiness. D.Generosity.
10.What does the underlined word “reject” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Consume. B.Appreciate. C.Refer to. D.Turn down.
11.What makes the cake-cutting methods imperfect according to paragraph 4?
A.The irregular cake. B.The human nature.
C.The uncertain process. D.The large number of eaters.
12.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A.The standard of the cake- cutting methods.
B.The weakness of the cake-cutting methods.
C.The practical application of the cake-cutting methods.
D.The doubts raised about the cake-cutting methods.
Passage 04
(23-24高一下·江苏泰州·期末)Some of the 17 million Americans suffering from major depressive disorder may soon receive a surprising new suggestion from their doctors: Have fun on a virtual reality (VR) device.
“Depression impacts so many people right now, and we thought VR could have a large impact,” said Bullock, founder of Stanford’s Neurobehavioral Clinic and Virtual Reality program. “There can be significant barriers to behavioral activation (行为激活) in some patients — they might be stuck in a hospital bed, or have no means to involve themselves in enjoyable activities like getting outside, exercising and volunteering. We started wondering whether simulated (模拟的) pleasant activities could be a good first step for them.”
The study by Bullock’s team, published in JMIR Mental Health, followed 26 people with major depressive disorder. Half were told to plan and take part in real life activities like going on outings in their community or socializing with friends. The other half used a virtual reality headset to participate in activities ranging from table tennis to touring foreign cities or attending shows. After four weeks, people in both groups saw a decrease in their symptoms of depression and their depression rating by similar amounts.
“People who might otherwise have barriers to getting treatment might be open to using this technology in their own homes,” said Margot Paul, a professor of mental and behavioral sciences.
Bullock believes the cost and ease of many VR platforms — especially those that have mobile phones put into cheap cardboard headsets — make it an easy treatment to promote.
The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to practice virtual behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment. They also think more efforts are needed to inform doctors about how to practice VR behavioral activation appropriately.
13.What is the benefit of using virtual reality to treat depression?
A.It provides easier access to mood-lifting activities.
B.It increases public awareness regarding depression.
C.It motivates those with serious depression to get out.
D.It is more effective than taking part in real life activities.
14.What’s Margot Paul’s attitude towards the VR treatment?
A.Unclear. B.Favorable. C.Doubtful. D.Negative.
15.What might the follow-up study focus on?
A.Cutting down on the cost of VR treatment. B.Exploring how VR lifts the patient’ spirits.
C.Putting the VR treatment into practical use. D.Encouraging doctors to adopt VR treatment.
16.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.VR — a simple tool to treat depression B.VR — a shared world without frontiers
C.VR — a replacement for traditional drugs D.VR — a technology taking the world by storm
Passage 05
(23-24高一下·河南郑州·期末)As human beings, we naturally tend to become more and more curious about everything about ourselves, including our history, psychology and philosophy. Much of our knowledge moves around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe.
But in the course of the centuries, we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas we have had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and the extraordinary molecular (分子的) structures in every cell of our bodies.
The more we discover, the more we understand that what we don’t yet know is greater than what we know. The more powerful our telescopes are, the stranger and more unexpected are the heavens we see. The closer we look at the detail of matter, the more we discover of its great structure.
In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first, the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed (不适应的), surprises and confuses him. But eventually he can see and returns excitedly to his friends to tell them what he has seen. They find it hard to believe.
We are all in the depths of a cave, chained by our ignorance and prejudice (偏见), so our weak senses show only shadows. If we try to see further, we are confused: we are unaccustomed. But we try. This is science. Scientific thinking explores and redraws the world, gradually offering us better and better images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its ability to overthrow old ideas, to uncover new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the world. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past knowledge, but at its heart is change.
The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss (深渊) of what we don't know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious.
17.What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?
A.Splendid cultures for centuries created by man.
B.Enough existing technologies for further exploration.
C.New discoveries of the universe proved to be wrong.
D.Our incomplete and uncertain knowledge of the universe.
18.Why does the author use the story told by Plato?
A.To let us truly realize the cruelty of reality.
B.To cheer for the heroic deeds of pursuing freedom.
C.To inspire us to explore more about the unknown world.
D.To prove our unfamiliarity and prejudice about the world.
19.What does the author want to stress in the article?
A.Making nature take its course improves our lives.
B.Past knowledge prevents us building a new world.
C.Exploring the universe makes our life meaningful.
D.Discovering the universe a lot will cause confusion.
20.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.The Reasons for Learning to People
B.The Significance of Exploring the Unknown
C.The Effect of Knowledge on Human Beings
D.The Eagerness for Knowledge of the Unknown

Passage 01
(23-24高一下·湖北·期末)In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the need for critical thinking among humans has become important. 1 This is where critical thinking steps in, helping humans stay ahead in an increasingly automated (自动化的) world.
Critical thinking is the process of actively and skillfully analyzing, evaluating, and constructing arguments. It involves the ability to question assumptions, recognize biases (偏见), and make informed decisions based on logic and evidence. 2
Firstly, AI systems are designed to operate within predefined parameters (参数) and datasets. They are good at pattern recognition and data analysis but often struggle with unexpected situations. Humans, armed with critical thinking skills, can identify and address these blind spots, adapting their approach to tackling unforeseen challenges. 3 Critical thinkers are able to question the AI's outputs, challenge its assumptions, and ensure that decisions are based on a full understanding of the problem at hand instead of being influenced by these biases and errors.
4 In a world where AI is automating routine tasks, the ability to think critically and creatively becomes a distinct factor. It allows humans to generate novel ideas, solve problems in unique ways, and contribute to social progress.
Moral considerations are also crucial in the age of AI. As AI systems increasingly make decisions that affect people's lives, the need for moral judgment and critical thinking cannot be overstated. 5
In conclusion, critical thinking is vital in the age of artificial intelligence, ensuring a future that is both technologically advanced and human-centered.
A.It can balance out AI's inability in many aspects.
B.It enables people to understand the world in various ways.
C.Critical thinking encourages creativity and innovation (创新).
D.Critical thinking ensures human advantage in logical reasoning.
E.Moreover, AI is affected by biases and errors in the data it is trained on.
F.Critical thinkers can evaluate potential social impact and make moral decisions.
G.AI, despite its impressive advancements, lacks the ability of deep understanding.
Passage 02
(23-24高一下·江西赣州·期末)We promise ourselves that this time, we will not delay something. We make lists, buy journals, try new apps, but no matter what, we often end up falling into the same cycle of delay and avoidance — putting things off, day after day. In fact, frequent procrastination (拖延症) may negatively affect your personal, school, or work lives. 6
Identify small goals. Set a goal to work on something for a short, fixed amount of time. 7 At the end of each workday, make a list of six things to work on the following day. List them out in order of true importance. Deal with those things and only those things the next day.
Use natural patterns to rank tasks. If you’re a morning person, do important tasks in the morning. 8 This way, you can ensure that your most productive hours are spent on your most important tasks.
9 Research shows self-forgiveness can help you cope with procrastination-related stress. Take a few moments at the end of your workday to reflect not only on your professional highlights, but also to consider moments where you made yourself proud. Remember every success is just that: a success!
Plan ahead. 10 Arrange vacations ahead of time and put systems in place with co-workers so that you can work toward your time away and feel secure that all your goals at work are met.
A.Forgive all your mistakes.
B.Don’t be too hard on yourself.
C.But with some intention and effort, it is possible to fight it.
D.Setting a short-term goal helps you measure your progress easily.
E.To avoid procrastinating on wellness and rest, schedule in advance.
F.If you want to be more organized, consider trying the Ivy Lee method.
G.If you feel sleepy around noon, use that time to arrange your list for tomorrow.
Passage 03
(23-24高一下·辽宁大连·期末)Sometimes, it’s good to be bored
“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. 11
That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? 12 In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.
“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “ 13 ” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.
The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “ 14 ” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone.
15 The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.
A.And there is, of course, bad boredom.
B.Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.
C.But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?
D.These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.
E.Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.
F.We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.
G.When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.
Passage 04
(23-24高一下·河南三门峡·期末)What many of us have heard is that it takes 21 days to form a habit in our lifestyle.Unfortunately, a study revealed that the true number is around 66 days, or over 2 months. 16 Here are some key tips to help you make continuous learning a habit in your life.
Start small. Make sure that you can reasonably complete the tasks that you set for yourself .They don’t have to be large tasks. It might just be to read one article per day on a particular topic or cook 3 new dishes per week. You are more likely to continue with lifelong learning if you succeed in completing your goals. 17
Change and adjust. If something that you have arranged isn't working for you, you can change it. 18 For example, if you are assigned a task that doesn't seem to be helping you achieve your goals or is too difficult for you, change the task to something that is more suitable.
19 Friends that also participate in lifelong learning can motivate you, create a strong support system and make learning more enjoyable. You can learn new skills together, play games in order to learn or begin a new project as a group.
Make learning a priority (优先事项) 20 So the desire has to come from within. Once you decide you want to make constant learning a habit, it is up to you to make it a priority in your life. Set learning goals, make a plan, and take action to keep yourself moving.
A.Surround yourself with other lifelong learners.
B.Find jobs that encourage learning.
C.This doesn't mean you should give up.
D.Few external forces are going to persuade you to learn.
E.You are in charge of your own learning experience.
F.If you fall behind, you may lose motivation.
G.So leave the TV, your phone and your dog in a separate room.
Passage 05
(23-24高一下重庆九龙坡期末)It’s been 50 years since the beginning of bar codes. Scanning an item at checkout is something we take for granted in this age of convenience. 21
On March 31, 1971, a historic meeting took place in New York City. The meeting agreed to create a system to uniquely identify every single product, calling it the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) the core of bar codes, according to El Mudo, a Spanish newspaper. 22 Today, bar codes are scanned over 6 billion times every day, used by 2 million companies worldwide and remain one of the most trusted symbols in the world, PR Newswire, a US news agency, reported.
23 Where the product comes from? where it has been? its price expiration (过期时间)… you name it. Bar codes don’t only identify the category of goods but also manage the number of goods. For example, if there are 10 cartons of milk and a consumer takes one, it will be registered when it is scanned at the cash counter, so the store owner knows there are nine left. 24 The unique identification of products at a global level was the key that opened the door to retail (零售) as we know it today.
In the past five decades, bar codes have provided many conveniences for commerce. “The next generation of bar codes, such as QR codes can hold vastly more information. Their use, for example, can tell consumers if a product contains allergens (过敏原) or if it is organic. 25 ” according to GS1, the organization that develops and maintains the global bar codes standard.
A.Time has proved it a great decision.
B.It gives consumers a greater level of trust.
C.What information does a bar code contain?
D.When do we scan a bar code on the product?
E.We can thank the game-changing technology for that.
F.The numbers can indicate where that product is identified,
G.It allows the first digitization in the control of the goods for sale.

(23-24高一下·上海宝山·期末)Perhaps no issue attracts more senior leadership attention than growth does, and for good reason. 16 in gains and profits is the standard by which we tend to measure the competitive fitness and health of companies. Analysts, investors, and boards are especially concerned about growth 17 to get insight into stock prices. 18 are attracted to faster-growing companies because they offer better opportunities for advancement and higher pay. Suppliers prefer faster-growing customers because working with them improves their own growth prospects.
While sustained profitable growth is a nearly universal goal, it is a(n) 19 one for many companies. Many researches conducted on the long-term patterms of growth in U.S.corporations suggest that when inflation is 20 , most companies barely grow. 21 in an analysis of 10,897 publicly held U.S.companies from 1976 to 2019, researchers found that firms in the top quartile grew at an inflation-adjusted average of 11.8% per year, but those in the lower three quartiles experienced little or no growth (0.3%, 0.03%, and 0.5%, respectively). And the majority of firms in the top quartile were unable to 22 superior growth performance for more than a few years.
Over the past two decades, I have tried to understand why some companies are effective at sustaining growth. I have found that while the usual explanations, such as market forces and technological changes do play a role, many companies’ growth problems are done by themselves. 23 , firms approach growth in a highly reactive, opportunistic manner. When market demand is booming, they throw resources at developing new capacity, and build out organizational infrastructure without thinking through the 24 — for example, whether their operating systems and processes can scale, how rapid growth might affect corporate culture and what would happen if demand slows. In the process of chasing growth, companies can easily destroy the things that made them 25 in the first place, such as their capacity for innovation, their great customer service, or their unique cultures.

One day Albert found a baby bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird.
Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.”

The August heat is really unbearable. Eric and Bernard decided to go to City Library to spend a productive afternoon. It was so hot that every step they took made them sweaty. Eric suggested taking a short cut in a nearby park. Central Park is familiar to both of them. As they entered the park, the Children’s Paradise and swings brought back some sweet memories of childhood they spent there. But nearly everything in it looked dirty and old now. The park was full of litter, even some lying on the ground near the trash can. A little boy told them the city took the other trash cans away and that the remaining one never got emptied.
On the way to the library, they were silent and depressed, with a wrinkled forehead. When Mr Henry, a kind and enthusiastic librarian, met the boys, he sensed something strange. As they eagerly shared what they saw in the park, he listened to them with interest. Hearing that, he recommended them to the Community Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day the boys walked into the Community Hall. But without any luck, they were declined by an implied official. They were told that their problem couldn’t be solved on account of tight budget. Upset and desperate, they left and decided to turn to Mr Henry for help.
With the help of Mr Henry, they found a nonprofit organization Return Green, which was good at raising money for the project of environmental protection. To their delight, Henry promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Return Green.
But there were two vital tasks lying ahead: researching ways to clean the park and preparing a convincing presentation. Bernard was good at surfing the Internet, and Eric was gifted in speaking, so the two cooperated very well. Bernard learned from a science website that a new trash can is able to squeeze (挤) the trash down without being emptied. Based on this, Eric was preparing a presentation over and over again.

Frank had just adapted to his new life in China. Among the many exciting experiences, he struck up a close friendship with Li Ming, a local student.
One Saturday, Li Ming invited Frank to try traditional Chinese food, steamed dumplings, for lunch. Eager to experience the local culture, Frank delightedly accepted the invitation. The moment Frank arrived, Li Ming, along with his mother, Mrs. Zhou greeted him warmly at the door. Inside the house, a cute cat was playing, adding a touch of liveliness to the already joyous occasion.
Then they gathered in the kitchen to make steamed dumplings together. Li Ming prepared the filling, while Mrs. Zhou taught Frank how to make dumpling wrappers. Mrs. Zhou gently instructed Frank, “The dough should not be too wet or sticky, and rolling the dumpling wrappers requires most care to ensure the same thickness.” Everything going smoothly, the steamed dumplings were ready.
Suddenly, an unexpected incident occurred when Frank offered to set the table in the dining room. As Frank put a plate on the table, his hand slipped. With a loud crash, the plate fell onto the floor, scattering dipping sauce everywhere. In panic, Frank stood rooted to the spot with his mind completely blank. Mrs. Zhou rushed out of the kitchen. With Mrs. Zhou’s caring eyes fixed on him, Frank was too ashamed to tell the truth. Seeing the cat nearby, Frank stammered, “It was the cat. ” Mrs. Zhou smiled gently, “It happens. The cat is always energetic and naughty.” Li Ming laughed, “Never mind.” Mrs. Zhou quickly cleaned up the mess with her son.
The steamed dumplings were delicious. Li Ming and his mother were trying their best to make Frank feel at home. However, it was hard for Frank to really enjoy the food, because he lied to his good friend’s mother and his friend! Finally, Frank said goodbye to the friendly family and left with his secret.

One day, Emma’s mother brought Emma to her favorite steak house (牛排餐厅). She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!”
“Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window.
“Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke.
She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?”
Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before.
“No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother.
“Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car.
“Of course, you can,” her mother agreed.

73-year-old Barbara sat at a bus stop on a rainy evening, thinking of the past and wishing to find her purpose in life.
A sudden sound awakened her. She got up and slowly approached the bus, as people aboard impatiently waited for her to get on quickly so the bus could start soon. Barbara looked around for an empty seat but found none and nobody wanted to give their seat to her. As the helpless woman looked toward the farther corner of the bus, she saw a little boy waving at her, smiling.
Barbara thought the boy had mistaken her for someone else. Minutes later, he pushed through the crowd, held her hand and took her to his seat. Barbara sat down and thanked the boy. A young woman near her smiled and said, “It’s okay. David was just doing his job!” She introduced herself as the boy’s mother, Kristen.

“Is this all I got?” asked my daughter, Allison. "I asked for a new cellphone and a laptop!” “Where are the rest of the presents?" asked my son, Blake.
Money was tight, and as a single parent, I was doing the best I could. My feelings were hurt, but l didn't want to show it. I was very disappointed in their reactions to their presents.
“What kind of Christmas is this?” asked Allison.
I was starting to get angry now. How selfish and unappreciative could my children be? What had we done? I was on my own now, and I couldn't maintain our old lifestyle.
"Okay! I want you to remember how you are acting this Christmas and the hurtful thing you have said. We will be celebrating Christmas in a whole new way next year!" I told them.
The months went by quickly. I was planning our next Christmas celebration in my head a little every day and determined to teach them a lesson. I contacted agencies to find a family that desperately needed help. That's how I found the family with four children to support on low income.
That next Christmas we did all the usual traditions, but as Christmas Eve drew closer, there were still no presents under the tree. Finally, my kids asked where the gifts were and I explained that we would be giving gifts to a family that truly needed them. They needed to see what it was like to need essentials such as clothing and food.
We went shopping that weekend. We bought gifts for all the children and purchased everything they would need for a nice Christmas dinner and the winter.
Blake and Allison didn't seem happy with the situation, but I was sure I had them thinking about their attitudes last Christmas. I had a couple of gifts hidden in my closet, but they would only get them if they were polite and respectful to this family and to me.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was the day before Christmas Eve, the day we would deliver the food and gifts.

阅读理解5篇-精选重难题
Passage 01
(23-24高一下·北京丰台·期末)A Perspective article published in Nature this week says that AI systems pose a further risk: that researchers envision such tools as possessed of superhuman abilities when it comes to objectivity, productivity and understanding complex concepts. Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now, while AI applications are still nascent (未成熟的), because they will be much more difficult to address if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research pipeline”, write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett.
In this article, Messeri and Crockett put together a picture of the ways in which scientists see AI systems as enhancing human capabilities. In one ‘vision’, which they call AI as Oracle, researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers, and so survey the scientific literature more exhaustively than people can. In both Oracle and another vision, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings more objectively than do people, because they are less likely to cherry-pick the literature to support a desired hypothesis or to show favouritism in peer review. In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to surpass the limits of the human mind in analyzing vast and complex data. In the fourth, AI as Surrogate, AI tools simulate (模拟) data that are too difficult or complex to obtain.
Informed by anthropology and cognitive science, Messeri and Crockett predict risks that arise from these visions. One is the illusion of explanatory depth, in which people relying on another person — or, in this case, an algorithm — for knowledge have a tendency to mistake that knowledge for their own and think their understanding is deeper than it actually is.
Another risk is that research becomes skewed towards studying the kinds of thing that AI systems can test — the researchers call this the illusion of exploratory breadth. For example, in social science, the vision of AI as Surrogate could encourage experiments involving human behaviors that can be simulated by an AI — and discourage those on behaviors that cannot, such as anything that requires being embodied physically.
There’s also the illusion of objectivity, in which researchers see AI systems as representing all possible viewpoints or not having a viewpoint. In fact, these tools reflect only the viewpoints found in the data they have been trained on, and are known to adopt the biases (偏见) found in those data. “There’s a risk that we forget that there are certain questions we just can’t answer about human beings using AI tools,” says Crockett. The illusion of objectivity is particularly worrying given the benefits of including diverse viewpoints in research.
If you’re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies. One is to map your proposed use to one of the visions, and consider which traps you are most likely to fall into. Another approach is to be deliberate about how you use AI. Deploying AI tools to save time on something your team already has expertise in is less risky than using them to provide expertise you just don’t have, says Crockett.
1.According to Paragraph 2, which might scientists agree with?
A.Human intelligence can’t be overshadowed in analyzing data.
B.Prejudice has been ruled out by AI tools in scientific evaluation.
C.Studies with desired hypothesis are usually favored in peer review.
D.AI can conduct a relatively thorough overview of the prior research.
2.What does the underlined word “skewed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Declining. B.Partial. C.Dynamic. D.Irrelevant.
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Relying on AI to fill gaps in the team’s knowledge is much preferable.
B.AI isn’t limited to the outlook and biases present within its training data.
C.Instant actions must be taken to rate AI’s risks before it is fully integrated into research.
D.Users counting heavily on AI tend to underestimate their insight of a concept.
4.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Call for Considered Use of AI in Science
B.The Unseen Biases of AI in Social Science
C.AI’s Role in Enhancing Human Expertise
D.How AI Is Shaping Scientific Discovery
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人工智能在科学研究中的应用可能带来的风险,包括对人工智能超人能力的错觉,以及由此产生的研究偏向和客观性幻象。作者呼吁科学家人工智能工具尚处于初级阶段时评估并应对这些风险,提出通过识别使用人工智能的潜在陷阱和有意识地应用人工智能来减少危险的策略。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段“In one ‘vision’, which they call AI as Oracle, researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers, and so survey the scientific literature more exhaustively than people can. (在一个“愿景”中,他们将人工智能称为甲骨文,研究人员认为人工智能工具能够不知疲倦地阅读和消化科学论文,因此比人类更详尽地调查科学文献。)”以及“In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to surpass the limits of the human mind in analyzing vast and complex data. In the fourth, AI as Surrogate, AI tools simulate (模拟) data that are too difficult or complex to obtain. (在第三种愿景中,AI as Quant,人工智能工具在分析庞大而复杂的数据方面似乎超越了人类思维的极限。在第四个中,人工智能作为替代物,人工智能工具模拟太难或太复杂而无法获得的数据。)”可知,人工智能工具可以更详尽地调查科学文献,分析庞大而复杂的数据,并模拟太难或太复杂而无法获得的数据,由此可推知,科学家可能同意的观点是人工智能能够对先前的研究进行相对全面的概述。故选D项。
2.词句猜测题。根据第四段“Another risk is that research becomes skewed towards studying the kinds of thing that AI systems can test—the researchers call this the illusion of exploratory breadth. (另一个风险是,研究对于研究人工智能系统可以测试的东西变得skewed——研究人员称之为探索广度的错觉。)”可知,研究可能会偏向于人工智能系统能够测试的类型的事物,推测划线单词表示“偏向的”,与Partial意义相近。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now, while AI applications are still nascent (未成熟的), because they will be much more difficult to address if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research pipeline”, write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett. (合著者Lisa Messeri和Molly Crockett写道,计划使用人工智能的科学家“现在必须评估这些风险,而人工智能应用仍处于萌芽阶段,因为如果人工智能工具深深嵌入研究管道中,它们将更难解决”。)”可知,在人工智能完全融入研究之前,必须立即采取行动对其风险进行评估。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now, while AI applications are still nascent (未成熟的), because they will be much more difficult to address if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research pipeline”, write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett. (合著者Lisa Messeri和Molly Crockett写道,计划使用人工智能的科学家“现在必须评估这些风险,而人工智能应用仍处于萌芽阶段,因为如果人工智能工具深深嵌入研究管道中,它们将更难解决”)”、最后一段“If you’re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies. One is to map your proposed use to one of the visions, and consider which traps you are most likely to fall into. Another approach is to be deliberate about how you use AI. Deploying AI tools to save time on something your team already has expertise in is less risky than using them to provide expertise you just don’t have, says Crockett. (如果你是一名计划使用人工智能的科学家,你可以通过多种策略来减少这些危险。一种是将你提议的用途映射到其中一个愿景,并考虑你最有可能陷入哪些陷阱。另一种方法是慎重考虑如何使用人工智能。Crockett说,部署人工智能工具来节省团队已经拥有的专业知识的时间,比使用它们来提供你没有的专业知识风险更小。)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要讨论了人工智能在科学领域的应用可能带来的风险,包括对人工智能能力的过度信任,以及这种信任可能导致的误解和偏斜,呼吁科学家在人工智能工具尚未完全融入研究流程之前,对其潜在风险进行评估,所以“呼吁在科学中经过慎重考虑使用人工智能”适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
Passage 02
(23-24高一下·江苏常州·期末)“The news is ... there is no news.” With those words, outside St Mary’s Hospital in London awaiting the birth of Prince George in July 2013, my reporting for the BBC went viral on the Internet. Not for what I was saying but the way I was saying it. The helpless look. The depressed tone. Viewers could relate to me. Because they are human. And so am I.
Fedha is not human. Yes, the fair-haired woman looks human. This week she was introduced as the first presenter in Kuwait who works by artificial intelligence. “What kind of news do you prefer? Let's hear your opinions,” she says in Arabic. AI newsreaders actually never make a cock-up of their jobs. They can skip the mispronunciations, the complaints over foundation colours in makeup, and even the stresses over too-weak hairspray.
To examine the problems that may come with an AI newsreader, I thought I would turn the tables and ask Genie — the chatbot powered by ChatGPT. “They may struggle with delivering the news in a way that is appealing to viewers,” Genie says. I get that. As far as delivering the news is concerned, the face and voice behind it matters.
My ChatGPT friend also tells me that there are concerns about the potential for AI newsreaders to be used to spread false information, as they may not be able to determine the correctness of a story’s source. Not just in the delivery of news, but in its content. AI is already involved in the spread of “untrue news” — and that will only get worse. At a time when trust in news providers is reducing, the next few years threaten to be very challenging if that trust is to be regained.
One of the main concerns about AI newsreaders is that they lack the human touch and emotion. I have delivered some of the biggest stories. Whether it be an air attack or the death of a major figure, it's not just the words that matter. You need to look and sound right. An AI newsreader cannot convey (传达) a reaction to a breaking story.
5.How did viewers react according to paragraph 1?
A.They found the reporting confusing. B.They felt excited about the reporting.
C.They considered the author unprofessional. D.They knew the author’s thoughts and feelings.
6.What does the underlined part “make a cock-up of” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Talk about. B.Make a fool of.
C.Keep an eye on. D.Mess up.
7.What does Genie think of AI newsreaders?
A.They may deliver misleading news. B.They can locate the source of a news story.
C.They interact with viewers in an improper way. D.They wear the same facial expressions as humans.
8.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To voice his doubt about AI newsreaders. B.To share his experience of being a reporter.
C.To introduce an AI newsreader called Fedha. D.To show ChatGPT's impact on news reporting.
【答案】5.D 6.D 7.A 8.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了人工智能新闻播报员的局限,特别是其缺乏人类情感和触感的问题,以及对新闻真实性和信任度的潜在影响。
5.推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后三句“Viewers could relate to me. Because they are human. And so am I.”(观众们能够理解我。因为他们是人类,而我也是。)可推断观众通过作者无助的表情和沮丧的语调,能够感受到作者当时的想法和情感。因此,他们与作者产生了共鸣,理解了作者的心情。故选D。
6.短语猜测题。根据后文“They can skip the mispronunciations, the complaints over foundation colours in makeup, and even the stresses over too-weak hairspray.”(它们可以跳过发音错误、对化妆粉底颜色的抱怨,甚至是对发胶不够牢固的担忧。) ,此处列举了AI新闻播报员不会犯的一些常见错误,如发音错误、化妆颜色问题、以及头发定型喷雾不足等问题,由此可推测前文强调的是AI新闻播报员不会在工作中犯错,故选D。
7.推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“My ChatGPT friend also tells me that there are concerns about the potential for AI newsreaders to be used to spread false information, as they may not be able to determine the correctness of a story's source. Not just in the delivery of news, but in its content. ”(我的 ChatGPT 朋友还告诉我,人们担心人工智能新闻播报员可能会被用来传播虚假信息,因为他们可能无法确定新闻来源的正确性。不仅是在新闻传递方面,而且在新闻内容方面。)可知,Genie 认为人工智能新闻播报员可能会传播误导性新闻。故选A。
8.写作目的题。在文中,作者通过自己的亲身经历,描述了人类新闻播报员在播报新闻时的情感和反应,然后对比了人工智能新闻播报员的局限性,比如缺乏人类的情感和可能传播虚假信息的风险。作者通过提出这些问题和担忧,表达了对人工智能新闻播报员能否有效地替代人类播报员的怀疑态度。故选A。
Passage 03
(23-24高一下·湖南·期末)For more than 75 years, mathematicians have been confused about how to divide resources to make everyone satisfied. For example, how can you cut a cake to make sure everyone at the party is happy with what they get. The “I cut, you choose” method works for two people. What about sharing among three or more?
Hugo Steinhaus was a pioneer devoted to this complexity (复杂性). He came up with an improved I-cut-you-choose way for three players, the lone-divider method.
Here, someone cuts the cake. Let’s call her Alice. She cuts the cake into three pieces that she values equally. Then a second person, Bob, says which of the pieces he would accept. If he agrees on at least two pieces, then the third person, Carla, can take any piece she wants. At least one of the remaining pieces is acceptable to Bob, so he picks next. Alice gets what’s left. If Bob and Carla both reject the same piece, that piece goes to Alice. The remaining two pieces are recombined and shared between Bob and Carla using I-cut-you-choose.
Steinhaus also discussed the “last-cutter” method for any number of cake eaters. But in both the lone-divider and last-cutter approaches, a person who gets an early piece may see a later one they wish they had instead-even though they had at first thought their piece was fair.
“Cake works as a stand-in for anything that can be divided,” says Steven Brams, a political scientist at New York University. “Though cake-cutting ideas have some disadvantages, they have real-world uses. How can food be divided up between communities? How should roommates share work? How can communities draw boundaries (边界线)?”
9.What did Hugo Steinhaus use the cake-cutting way to study?
A.Fairness. B.Kindness. C.Happiness. D.Generosity.
10.What does the underlined word “reject” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Consume. B.Appreciate. C.Refer to. D.Turn down.
11.What makes the cake-cutting methods imperfect according to paragraph 4?
A.The irregular cake. B.The human nature.
C.The uncertain process. D.The large number of eaters.
12.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A.The standard of the cake- cutting methods.
B.The weakness of the cake-cutting methods.
C.The practical application of the cake-cutting methods.
D.The doubts raised about the cake-cutting methods.
【答案】9.A 10.D 11.B 12.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Hugo Steinhaus的解决公平问题的“分蛋糕”的方法。
9.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For more than 75 years, mathematicians have been confused about how to divide resources to make everyone satisfied. For example, how can you cut a cake to make sure everyone at the party is happy with what they get. The “I cut, you choose” method works for two people. What about sharing among three or more? (75年来,数学家们一直困惑于如何分配资源以使每个人都满意。)”、第二段“Hugo Steinhaus was a pioneer devoted to this complexity (复杂性). He came up with an improved I-cut-you-choose way for three players, the lone-divider method. (Hugo Steinhaus是致力于这种复杂性的先驱。他提出了一种改进的三人“我-切-你-选”方法,即单人分割法。)”可知,科学家一直困惑于如何分配一个事物可以让每个人满意,因此这个方法研究的是关于公平的。故选A。
10.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Then a second person, Bob, says which of the pieces he would accept. If he agrees on at least two pieces, then the third person, Carla, can take any piece she wants. At least one of the remaining pieces is acceptable to Bob, so he picks next. Alice gets what’s left. (然后第二个人,Bob,说他会接受哪一个。如果他同意至少两块,那么第三人Carla可以拿走她想要的任何一块。剩下的棋子中至少有一个是Bob可以接受的,所以他选择下一个。Alice得到剩下的。)”以及“the same piece, that piece goes to Alice (同一块,那块就归爱丽丝)”可知,此处表示“如果Bob 和Carla 都拒绝了同一块蛋糕,那么这一块蛋糕给 Alice”,划线单词的意思是“拒绝”。A. Consume消费;B. Appreciate欣赏;C. Refer to参考;D. Turn down拒绝。故选D。
11.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But in both the lone-divider and last-cutter approaches, a person who gets an early piece may see a later one they wish they had instead-even though they had at first thought their piece was fair. (但是,在“单独分割”和“最后一刀”两种方法中,先得到一份的人可能会看到他们希望得到的另一份,尽管他们一开始认为自己得到的那份是公平的。)”可知,导致这两种方法不完美的是人性的不满足。故选B。
12.主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Cake works as a stand-in for anything that can be divided,” says Steven Brams, a political scientist at New York University. “Though cake-cutting ideas have some disadvantages, they have real-world uses. How can food be divided up between communities? How should roommates share work? How can communities draw boundaries (边界线)?” ((New York University政治学家Steven Brams表示:“蛋糕可以代替任何可以分割的东西。”“虽然切蛋糕的想法有一些缺点,但它们在现实世界中是有用的。如何在不同社区之间分配食物?室友应该如何分担工作?社区如何划分界限?”)”可知,本段主要讲述分蛋糕方法的实际应用。故选C。
Passage 04
(23-24高一下·江苏泰州·期末)Some of the 17 million Americans suffering from major depressive disorder may soon receive a surprising new suggestion from their doctors: Have fun on a virtual reality (VR) device.
“Depression impacts so many people right now, and we thought VR could have a large impact,” said Bullock, founder of Stanford’s Neurobehavioral Clinic and Virtual Reality program. “There can be significant barriers to behavioral activation (行为激活) in some patients — they might be stuck in a hospital bed, or have no means to involve themselves in enjoyable activities like getting outside, exercising and volunteering. We started wondering whether simulated (模拟的) pleasant activities could be a good first step for them.”
The study by Bullock’s team, published in JMIR Mental Health, followed 26 people with major depressive disorder. Half were told to plan and take part in real life activities like going on outings in their community or socializing with friends. The other half used a virtual reality headset to participate in activities ranging from table tennis to touring foreign cities or attending shows. After four weeks, people in both groups saw a decrease in their symptoms of depression and their depression rating by similar amounts.
“People who might otherwise have barriers to getting treatment might be open to using this technology in their own homes,” said Margot Paul, a professor of mental and behavioral sciences.
Bullock believes the cost and ease of many VR platforms — especially those that have mobile phones put into cheap cardboard headsets — make it an easy treatment to promote.
The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to practice virtual behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment. They also think more efforts are needed to inform doctors about how to practice VR behavioral activation appropriately.
13.What is the benefit of using virtual reality to treat depression?
A.It provides easier access to mood-lifting activities.
B.It increases public awareness regarding depression.
C.It motivates those with serious depression to get out.
D.It is more effective than taking part in real life activities.
14.What’s Margot Paul’s attitude towards the VR treatment?
A.Unclear. B.Favorable. C.Doubtful. D.Negative.
15.What might the follow-up study focus on?
A.Cutting down on the cost of VR treatment. B.Exploring how VR lifts the patient’ spirits.
C.Putting the VR treatment into practical use. D.Encouraging doctors to adopt VR treatment.
16.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.VR — a simple tool to treat depression B.VR — a shared world without frontiers
C.VR — a replacement for traditional drugs D.VR — a technology taking the world by storm
【答案】13.A 14.B 15.C 16.A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一项关于使用虚拟现实(VR)技术治疗重度抑郁症患者的研究。研究发现,通过VR设备进行模拟的愉快活动与传统的现实生活中的活动一样,都能有效减轻患者的抑郁症状。研究人员认为,VR治疗成本低廉、易于推广,但仍需进一步的研究来确定最佳的实践方式,并让医生了解如何恰当地使用这种治疗方法。
13.推理判断题。根据第二段中“There can be significant barriers to behavioral activation (行为激活) in some patients — they might be stuck in a hospital bed, or have no means to involve themselves in enjoyable activities like getting outside, exercising and volunteering. We started wondering whether simulated (模拟的) pleasant activities could be a good first step for them.”(对于一些患者来说,行为激活可能存在重大障碍——他们可能被困在医院病床上,或者没有办法参与户外活动、锻炼和志愿服务等令人愉快的活动。我们想知道模拟的愉快活动是否是他们的良好第一步。)和第五段中“Bullock believes the cost and ease of many VR platforms — especially those that have mobile phones put into cheap cardboard headsets — make it an easy treatment to promote.”(布洛克认为,许多虚拟现实平台的成本和易用性——尤其是那些将手机放在廉价的纸板耳机上的平台——使其很容易推广。)可推知,对于一些抑郁症患者来说,他们可能没有办法参与令人愉快的活动,而虚拟现实可以让抑郁症患者更容易参加令人愉快的活动,因此,使用虚拟现实来治疗抑郁症的好处是它提供了让抑郁症患者更容易参加令人愉快的活动的途径。故选A项。
14.推理判断题。根据第四段中““People who might otherwise have barriers to getting treatment might be open to using this technology in their own homes,” said Margot Paul, a professor of mental and behavioral sciences.”(精神和行为科学教授Margot Paul说:“那些可能无法获得治疗的人可能会在自己家中使用这种技术。”)可知,Margot Paul认为虚拟现实治疗对于那些可能无法获得治疗的人来说是一个可行的选择,因此他对虚拟现实治疗持赞成态度。故选B项。
15.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to practice virtual behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment. They also think more efforts are needed to inform doctors about how to practice VR behavioral activation appropriately.”(该团队表示,需要进行更大规模、更长期的研究,以找到实践虚拟行为激活的最佳方法,以及哪些患者群体最适合接受虚拟现实治疗。他们还认为,需要做出更多努力,让医生了解如何适当地进行虚拟现实行为激活。)可推知,后续研究可能会关注如何将虚拟现实治疗付诸实践。故选C项。
16.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some of the 17 million Americans suffering from major depressive disorder may soon receive a surprising new suggestion from their doctors: Have fun on a virtual reality (VR) device.”(在1700万患有重度抑郁症的美国人中,一些人可能很快就会收到医生的一个令人惊讶的新建议:在虚拟现实(VR)设备上玩得开心。)和下文内容可知,文章主要介绍了虚拟现实作为一种新的治疗抑郁症的方法,它提供了更容易获得的心情提升活动,可能对那些无法获得传统治疗的人有所帮助。因此,文章的最佳标题应该是“VR — a simple tool to treat depression”(VR——一种简单的治疗抑郁症的工具)。故选A项。
Passage 05
(23-24高一下·河南郑州·期末)As human beings, we naturally tend to become more and more curious about everything about ourselves, including our history, psychology and philosophy. Much of our knowledge moves around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe.
But in the course of the centuries, we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas we have had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and the extraordinary molecular (分子的) structures in every cell of our bodies.
The more we discover, the more we understand that what we don’t yet know is greater than what we know. The more powerful our telescopes are, the stranger and more unexpected are the heavens we see. The closer we look at the detail of matter, the more we discover of its great structure.
In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first, the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed (不适应的), surprises and confuses him. But eventually he can see and returns excitedly to his friends to tell them what he has seen. They find it hard to believe.
We are all in the depths of a cave, chained by our ignorance and prejudice (偏见), so our weak senses show only shadows. If we try to see further, we are confused: we are unaccustomed. But we try. This is science. Scientific thinking explores and redraws the world, gradually offering us better and better images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its ability to overthrow old ideas, to uncover new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the world. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past knowledge, but at its heart is change.
The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss (深渊) of what we don't know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious.
17.What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?
A.Splendid cultures for centuries created by man.
B.Enough existing technologies for further exploration.
C.New discoveries of the universe proved to be wrong.
D.Our incomplete and uncertain knowledge of the universe.
18.Why does the author use the story told by Plato?
A.To let us truly realize the cruelty of reality.
B.To cheer for the heroic deeds of pursuing freedom.
C.To inspire us to explore more about the unknown world.
D.To prove our unfamiliarity and prejudice about the world.
19.What does the author want to stress in the article?
A.Making nature take its course improves our lives.
B.Past knowledge prevents us building a new world.
C.Exploring the universe makes our life meaningful.
D.Discovering the universe a lot will cause confusion.
20.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.The Reasons for Learning to People
B.The Significance of Exploring the Unknown
C.The Effect of Knowledge on Human Beings
D.The Eagerness for Knowledge of the Unknown
【答案】17.D 18.C 19.C 20.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类对宇宙认知的局限性与探索未知的重要性。
17.主旨大意题。根据第二段的“But in the course of the centuries, we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas we have had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and the extraordinary molecular (分子的) structures in every cell of our bodies. (但在几个世纪的过程中,我们逐渐意识到我们有多少错误的想法。我们已经了解到黑洞、太空波的存在,以及我们身体每个细胞中非同寻常的分子结构。)”以及第三段的“The more we discover, the more we understand that what we don’t yet know is greater than what we know. (我们发现的越多,就越明白,我们还不知道的东西比我们知道的东西更伟大。)”可知,人类对于自身的探索从历史、心理学到哲学,而这些探索揭示了我们曾有的许多错误观念,如黑洞的发现、空间波以及人体细胞内的分子结构等。所以,前三段都在说明了我们对宇宙的认知是不完整且充满不确定性的。故选D。
18.推理判断题。根据第四段的“In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. (在柏拉图在《理想国》第七本书中讲述的一个著名故事中,一些人被锁在一个黑暗的洞穴底部,只看到身后的火投射在墙上的影子。他们认为这是现实。其中一人重获自由,离开洞穴,发现了阳光和更广阔的世界。)”可知,作者引用柏拉图的洞穴寓言,意在通过这个故事说明人们最初受限于自身的无知与偏见,只能看到事物的表象(即洞穴中的影子),而真正的知识和现实(洞外的阳光世界)需要通过不懈探索才能获得。由此可推知,作者要用柏拉图讲的故事激励我们去探索更多未知的世界。故选C。
19.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss ( 深渊) of what we don’t know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious. (我们知识的不完整性和不确定性,笼罩在我们不知道的东西的深渊上,并没有使生活变得毫无意义;它使生活变得有趣而珍贵。)”可知,文章整体上强调了尽管人类的知识存在局限性和不确定性,但正是这种对未知的探索让生命变得有趣且宝贵。科学思维不断挑战旧观念,揭示新的现实层面,构建更有效的世界观。由此可推知,作者想要强调的是探索宇宙赋予了我们生活的意义。故选C。
20.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss ( 深渊) of what we don’t know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious . (我们知识的不完整性和不确定性,笼罩在我们不知道的东西的深渊上,并没有使生活变得毫无意义;它使生活变得有趣而珍贵。)”可知,整篇文章围绕人类对未知的探索展开,讨论了这一过程如何逐渐改变我们的认知,使得生活充满意义。所以“探索未知的意义”适合作本文的标题。故选B。

Passage 01
(23-24高一下·湖北·期末)In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the need for critical thinking among humans has become important. 1 This is where critical thinking steps in, helping humans stay ahead in an increasingly automated (自动化的) world.
Critical thinking is the process of actively and skillfully analyzing, evaluating, and constructing arguments. It involves the ability to question assumptions, recognize biases (偏见), and make informed decisions based on logic and evidence. 2
Firstly, AI systems are designed to operate within predefined parameters (参数) and datasets. They are good at pattern recognition and data analysis but often struggle with unexpected situations. Humans, armed with critical thinking skills, can identify and address these blind spots, adapting their approach to tackling unforeseen challenges. 3 Critical thinkers are able to question the AI's outputs, challenge its assumptions, and ensure that decisions are based on a full understanding of the problem at hand instead of being influenced by these biases and errors.
4 In a world where AI is automating routine tasks, the ability to think critically and creatively becomes a distinct factor. It allows humans to generate novel ideas, solve problems in unique ways, and contribute to social progress.
Moral considerations are also crucial in the age of AI. As AI systems increasingly make decisions that affect people's lives, the need for moral judgment and critical thinking cannot be overstated. 5
In conclusion, critical thinking is vital in the age of artificial intelligence, ensuring a future that is both technologically advanced and human-centered.
A.It can balance out AI's inability in many aspects.
B.It enables people to understand the world in various ways.
C.Critical thinking encourages creativity and innovation (创新).
D.Critical thinking ensures human advantage in logical reasoning.
E.Moreover, AI is affected by biases and errors in the data it is trained on.
F.Critical thinkers can evaluate potential social impact and make moral decisions.
G.AI, despite its impressive advancements, lacks the ability of deep understanding.

Passage 02
(23-24高一下·江西赣州·期末)We promise ourselves that this time, we will not delay something. We make lists, buy journals, try new apps, but no matter what, we often end up falling into the same cycle of delay and avoidance — putting things off, day after day. In fact, frequent procrastination (拖延症) may negatively affect your personal, school, or work lives. 6
Identify small goals. Set a goal to work on something for a short, fixed amount of time. 7 At the end of each workday, make a list of six things to work on the following day. List them out in order of true importance. Deal with those things and only those things the next day.
Use natural patterns to rank tasks. If you’re a morning person, do important tasks in the morning. 8 This way, you can ensure that your most productive hours are spent on your most important tasks.
9 Research shows self-forgiveness can help you cope with procrastination-related stress. Take a few moments at the end of your workday to reflect not only on your professional highlights, but also to consider moments where you made yourself proud. Remember every success is just that: a success!
Plan ahead. 10 Arrange vacations ahead of time and put systems in place with co-workers so that you can work toward your time away and feel secure that all your goals at work are met.
A.Forgive all your mistakes.
B.Don’t be too hard on yourself.
C.But with some intention and effort, it is possible to fight it.
D.Setting a short-term goal helps you measure your progress easily.

6.前文“We make lists, buy journals, try new apps, but no matter what, we often end up falling into the same cycle of delay and avoidance — putting things off, day after day. In fact, frequent procrastination(拖延症) may negatively affect your personal, school, or work lives.(我们列出清单,购买期刊,尝试新的应用程序,但不管怎样,我们往往会陷入同样的拖延和回避循环——日复一日地拖延。事实上,经常拖延可能会对你的个人、学校或工作生活产生负面影响。)”讲述了拖延的难以克服以及影响,下文分条提供了一些建议,由此可知,空处应承上启下,C项“但是,只要有一些决心和努力,就有可能克服它。”符合题意。故选C。
7.前文“Identify small goals.

10.该段标题为“Plan ahead.(提前计划。)”,后文“Arrange vacations ahead of time and put systems in place with co-workers so that you can work toward your time away and feel secure that all your goals at work are met.(提前安排假期,与同事一起让系统就位,这样你就可以在休假期间工作,并确保所有工作目标都能实现。)”提到了安排假期和与同事合作以确保工作目标的实现,所以空处应讲述提前计划,E项“为了避免在健康和休息上拖延,提前安排计划。”符合题意,故选E。
Passage 03
(23-24高一下·辽宁大连·期末)Sometimes, it’s good to be bored
“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. 11
That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? 12 In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.
“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “ 13 ” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.
The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “ 14 ” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone.
15 The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.
A.And there is, of course, bad boredom.
B.Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.
C.But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?
D.These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.
E.Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.
F.We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.
G.When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.
【答案】11.C 12.B 13.G 14.F 15.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了无聊的好处,两项研究发现无聊可以激发创造力,并提出我们应该学会区分好的无聊和糟糕的无聊。
11.上文提到““I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom.(在契诃夫1897年的戏剧《万尼亚叔叔》中,年轻的妻子叶莲娜抱怨道:“我无聊得要死。”当然,如果叶莲娜在今天,我们知道她会做什么:拿出她的智能手机,找一些有趣的事情。今天摆脱无聊很容易)”指出人们讨厌无聊,总是想摆脱无聊。C项“But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?(但如果无聊是一种有意义的体验呢?)”与上文构成转折关系,引出下文两项研究的新发现:无聊可以激发创造力,同时C项中“boredom is a meaningful experience”与下文中“That”构成指代关系。故选C。
12.上文“In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result?(在第一项研究中,研究人员让受试者做一些无聊的事情,比如从电话簿中抄录数字,然后进行创造性思维的测试。结果呢?)”提到一项关于创造性思维的研究并提出问题。B项“Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.(无聊的受试者提出了更多有创造性的想法)”回答问题给出答案,说明在这项研究中无聊的受试者提出了更多有创造性的想法,上下文语意连贯。故选B。
13.上文提到“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,(焦躁不安的头脑渴望刺激,因此无聊成为一种寻求的状态)”说明无聊会让人寻求新的东西。G项“When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.(当你不满足于你的状态时,你就会去寻找和投入)”与上文语意一致,也是中央兰开夏大学的心理学家Sandi Mann的观点,说明无聊会激发人的探索和创新精神。同时下文“kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.(“无事可做”的孩子们最终会发明一些有趣的游戏来玩——用纸板箱、电灯开关等等)”对此进行了举例说明,上下文语意连贯。故选G。
14.设空句和下文“This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.(这可能会让我们暂时缓解无聊,但它会阻止我们更深层次的思考)”都是Mann的观点,根据下文中“This might relieve us temporarily(这或许会让我们暂时放松)”可知,设空句会提到一种暂时缓解无聊的方法。F项“We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.(我们试图用移动设备打发无聊的每一刻)”中提出我们用移动设备打发无聊,与下文“This”构成指代关系,上下文语意连贯。故选F。
15.下文“The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything.(好的类型激励你看到它(带来的好的)结果。相反,糟糕的类型会让你感到疲惫,让你觉得自己什么都懒得做)”提到两种不同类型的无聊。A项“And there is, of course, bad boredom.(当然,也有糟糕的无聊)”引出下文对两种无聊类型的对比和讨论,上下文语意连贯。故选A。

(23-24高一下·河南三门峡·期末)What many of us have heard is that it takes 21 days to form a habit in our lifestyle.Unfortunately, a study revealed that the true number is around 66 days, or over 2 months. 16 Here are some key tips to help you make continuous learning a habit in your life.
Start small. Make sure that you can reasonably complete the tasks that you set for yourself .They don’t have to be large tasks. It might just be to read one article per day on a particular topic or cook 3 new dishes per week. You are more likely to continue with lifelong learning if you succeed in completing your goals. 17
Change and adjust. If something that you have arranged isn't working for you, you can change it. 18 For example, if you are assigned a task that doesn't seem to be helping you achieve your goals or is too difficult for you, change the task to something that is more suitable.
19 Friends that also participate in lifelong learning can motivate you, create a strong support system and make learning more enjoyable. You can learn new skills together, play games in order to learn or begin a new project as a group.
Make learning a priority (优先事项) 20 So the desire has to come from within. Once you decide you want to make constant learning a habit, it is up to you to make it a priority in your life. Set learning goals, make a plan, and take action to keep yourself moving.
A.Surround yourself with other lifelong learners.
B.Find jobs that encourage learning.
C.This doesn't mean you should give up.
D.Few external forces are going to persuade you to learn.
E.You are in charge of your own learning experience.
F.If you fall behind, you may lose motivation.
G.So leave the TV, your phone and your dog in a separate room.

16.根据上文“Unfortunately, a study revealed that the true number is around 66 days, or over 2 months.(不幸的是,一项研究显示,真实的数字是66天左右,或2个多月。)”说明养成习惯需要时间漫长,以及空后的“Here are some key tips to help you make continuous learning a habit in your life.(这里有一些重要方法,可帮助您将持续学习变成生活中的习惯。)”,故C项“This doesn't mean you should give up.(这并不意味着你应该放弃。)”承上启下,可知,虽然习惯养成漫长,但不要放弃,符合语境。故选C。
17.根据下文“You are more likely to continue with lifelong learning if you succeed in completing your goals.(如果您成功完成自己的目标,您就更有可能继续终身学习。)”F项“If you fall behind, you may lose motivation.(如果落后,你可能会失去动力。)”符合语境,上下午文表示相反的情况。故选F。
18.根据上文“If something that you have arranged isn’t working for you, you can change it. (如果您安排的事情不适合您,您可以更改它。)”强调了你可以采取改变的措施,以及空后的“For example, if you are assigned a task that doesn't seem to be helping you achieve your goals or is too difficult for you, change the task to something that is more suitable.(例如,如果您被分配了一项任务,而它似乎没有帮助您实现目标,或者对您来说太难,请将该任务更改为更合适的任务。)”可知,你可以调整任务因为你负责自己的学习。故E项“You are in charge of your own learning experience.(你负责自己的学习经历。)”符合语境。故选E。
19.设空处是本段的主题句,根据下文“Friends that also participate in lifelong learning can motivate you, create a strong support system and make learning more enjoyable. You can learn new skills together, play games in order to learn or begin a new project as a group.(参与终身学习的朋友可以激励你,建立强大的支持系统,让学习变得更有趣。你们可以一起学习新技能,玩游戏来学习,或者作为一个团队开始一个新项目。)”可知,本段列举了多和终身学习的人在一起的好处,建议多和终身学习的人在一起,故A项“Surround yourself with other lifelong learners. (与其他终身学习者在一起。)”符合语境。故选A。
20.根据下文“So the desire has to come from within(所以愿望必须来自内心)”可知,想学习的愿望来自内心不是外力的说服,故D项“Few external forces are going to persuade you to learn.(很少有外力能够说服你学习。)”符合语境。故选D。
Passage 05
(23-24高一下重庆九龙坡期末)It’s been 50 years since the beginning of bar codes. Scanning an item at checkout is something we take for granted in this age of convenience. 21
On March 31, 1971, a historic meeting took place in New York City. The meeting agreed to create a system to uniquely identify every single product, calling it the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) the core of bar codes, according to El Mudo, a Spanish newspaper. 22 Today, bar codes are scanned over 6 billion times every day, used by 2 million companies worldwide and remain one of the most trusted symbols in the world, PR Newswire, a US news agency, reported.
23 Where the product comes from? where it has been? its price expiration (过期时间)… you name it. Bar codes don’t only identify the category of goods but also manage the number of goods. For example, if there are 10 cartons of milk and a consumer takes one, it will be registered when it is scanned at the cash counter, so the store owner knows there are nine left. 24 The unique identification of products at a global level was the key that opened the door to retail (零售) as we know it today.
In the past five decades, bar codes have provided many conveniences for commerce. “The next generation of bar codes, such as QR codes can hold vastly more information. Their use, for example, can tell consumers if a product contains allergens (过敏原) or if it is organic. 25 ” according to GS1, the organization that develops and maintains the global bar codes standard.
A.Time has proved it a great decision.
B.It gives consumers a greater level of trust.
C.What information does a bar code contain?
D.When do we scan a bar code on the product?
E.We can thank the game-changing technology for that.
F.The numbers can indicate where that product is identified,
G.It allows the first digitization in the control of the goods for sale.

(23-24高一下·上海宝山·期末)Perhaps no issue attracts more senior leadership attention than growth does, and for good reason. 16 in gains and profits is the standard by which we tend to measure the competitive fitness and health of companies. Analysts, investors, and boards are especially concerned about growth 17 to get insight into stock prices. 18 are attracted to faster-growing companies because they offer better opportunities for advancement and higher pay. Suppliers prefer faster-growing customers because working with them improves their own growth prospects.
While sustained profitable growth is a nearly universal goal, it is a(n) 19 one for many companies. Many researches conducted on the long-term patterms of growth in U.S.corporations suggest that when inflation is 20 , most companies barely grow. 21 in an analysis of 10,897 publicly held U.S.companies from 1976 to 2019, researchers found that firms in the top quartile grew at an inflation-adjusted average of 11.8% per year, but those in the lower three quartiles experienced little or no growth (0.3%, 0.03%, and 0.5%, respectively). And the majority of firms in the top quartile were unable to 22 superior growth performance for more than a few years.
Over the past two decades, I have tried to understand why some companies are effective at sustaining growth. I have found that while the usual explanations, such as market forces and technological changes do play a role, many companies’ growth problems are done by themselves. 23 , firms approach growth in a highly reactive, opportunistic manner. When market demand is booming, they throw resources at developing new capacity, and build out organizational infrastructure without thinking through the 24 — for example, whether their operating systems and processes can scale, how rapid growth might affect corporate culture and what would happen if demand slows. In the process of chasing growth, companies can easily destroy the things that made them 25 in the first place, such as their capacity for innovation, their great customer service, or their unique cultures.

17.A.requirements B.prospects C.struggles D.developments

39.考查定语从句。句意:这里的小径由水道、山洞、低于地面的隧道和飞梁组成,带你进入一个如梦般的世界。空处引导非限制性定语从句,对前面提到的各种小径作补充说明,先行词指物,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。
