五、语法填空
(2025高二下·江苏南通·阶段练习)
Thanks to advances in animal tracking technology, one can match with a wild animal and track its movements through Chinalife’s bracelet by scanning the accompanying QR code.
In addition to tracking the movements of wild animals, digital adoption programs provide 1 unique opportunity to form a virtual bond with them. With just a few clicks, anyone can adopt a wolf, koala, or red panda, even if he or she is miles away.
Since 2022, Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo has launched a “virtual adoption” program 2 individuals and families who meet some 3 (criterion) can adopt animals through a mini-program. After several rounds of selection, applicants 4 (qualify) themselves for adoption will be granted a certificate.
Currently, these innovative digital programs, ranging from tracking the journeys of wildlife to virtual adoption, 5 (bridge) the gap between humans and animals. Under the guidance of some 6 (knowledge) experts, individuals are not only gaining insights into animal behaviors, but are also 7 (genuine) participating in conservation efforts and advancing research in the field.
Meanwhile, the tracking data of collected animal serves as a valuable resource and lays foundation 8 scientific research. In this process, animals’ data can act as 9 is so-called bioindicators, thus 10 (assist) governments and organizations in developing more reasonable environmental protection policies.
六、阅读理解
(2025高二下·浙江杭州·期末)Alan Turing and Gordon Moore could never have predicted the rise of social media, memes, or cyberattacks. Decades after their invention, the architects of the atomic bomb could no more stop a nuclear war than Henry Ford could stop a car accident. Technology’s unavoidable challenge is that its makers quickly lose control over the path their inventions take once introduced to the world.
Technology exists in a complex, dynamic system, where second-, third-, and nth-order consequences spread unpredictably. Understanding technology is, in part, about trying to understand its unintended consequences, to predict not just positive impacts but “revenge effects.” Quite simply, any technology is capable of going wrong. Think of how the overuse of antibiotics (抗生素) makes them less effective, or how the “space junk” endangers spaceflight.
As the power of our tools grows exponentially and as access to them rapidly increases, so do the potential harms that no one can fully predict. One day someone is writing equations (方程式) on a blackboard or working on a prototype (机器雏形) in the garage; within decades, it has produced existential questions for humanity. This aspect of technology has felt more and more pressing to me. How do we guarantee that this new wave of technologies does more good than harm?
Technology’s problem here is a containment problem. Containment is the critical ability to control, limit, and, if need be, close down technologies at any stage of their development. It means, in some circumstances, the ability to stop a technology from mushrooming in the first place, checking the ripple of unintended consequences, both good and bad.
Then, if containment is important, who should bear the duty to do it? It is we technologists. More than anyone else, it is up to us to face it. We might not be able to control the final end points of our work or its long-term effects, but that is no reason to give up responsibility. Decisions technologists make at the source can still shape outcomes. Just because consequences are difficult to predict doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
1.Why does the author mention inventors and inventions in paragraph 1?
A.To show that creations often lack control once released.
B.To highlight the fast development of technology.
C.To compare inventors’ different career paths.
D.To emphasize inventors’ irreplaceable role.
2.Which might be an example of the “revenge effect” in paragraph 2?
A.Solar panels cut costs. B.AI blocks harmful questions.
C.App loses popularity after update. D.Self-driving cars crash due to errors.
3.What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A.Technology is a problem. B.Technology is a mixed blessing.
C.Technology leads to bad consequences. D.Technology needs controlled management.
4.Which best describes the nature of the last paragraph?
A.A call to act. B.A conclusion of a scientific study.
C.An official warning. D.A challenge of a traditional view.
七、七选五
(2025高二下·福建南平·阶段练习)Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. 1 What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time?
2 They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving. AI shopping agents not only suggest what you might like, but also act on your behalf. Imagine this: You remind AI to find a winter coat under $200 that’s highly rated and will arrive by Sunday. In seconds, it scans websites, compares prices, checks reviews, confirms availability and places the order, all while you go about your day.
Unlike traditional recommendation engines, AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously. The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing. 3 Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems. They are likely to be able to book tailored experiences and handle payments across platforms.
Consumers today are focused on value, looking for deals and comparing prices across platforms. Having an assistant perform these tasks could be a remarkable time saver. 4 A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85% accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours, which is really a breakthrough.
AI agents are moving beyond recommendations to autonomously performing complex tasks such as automating refunds and approving pricing decisions. 5
A.But can AI truly learn your preferences?
B.The new innovation in artificial intelligence is AI agents.
C.Companies using AI agents are seeing measurable benefits.
D.A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results.
E.They can learn from their interactions with users and become smarter.
F.This is reshaping consumers’ shopping habits and how businesses operate.
G.Meanwhile, the nature of search and advertising is undergoing a major shift.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了技术一旦引入世界便难以控制,强调了技术需要被有效管理。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“Technology’s unavoidable challenge is that its makers quickly lose control over the path their inventions take once introduced to the world. (技术面临的不可避免的挑战是,一旦发明被引入世界,其创造者很快就会失去对其发展方向的控制。)”可知,作者在第一段提到发明家和发明是为了表明一旦发明被释放,往往就失去了控制。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Understanding technology is, in part, about trying to understand its unintended consequences, to predict not just positive impacts but “revenge effects.” Quite simply, any technology is capable of going wrong. (理解技术,部分程度上是试图理解其非预期后果,不仅要预测其积极影响,还要预测其“报复效应”。简单来说,任何技术都可能出错。)”以及“Think of how the overuse of antibiotics (抗生素) makes them less effective, or how the “space junk” endangers spaceflight. (想想抗生素的过度使用如何使它们效果降低,或者“太空垃圾”如何危及太空飞行。)”可知,“报复效应”指的是技术可能带来的非预期负面后果。D项“Self-driving cars crash due to errors. (自动驾驶汽车因错误而发生车祸。)”是一个技术可能带来的负面后果的例子,符合“报复效应”的定义。故选D。
3.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Technology’s problem here is a containment problem. Containment is the critical ability to control, limit, and, if need be, close down technologies at any stage of their development. (技术在这里的问题是一个控制问题。控制是在技术发展的任何阶段控制、限制,并在必要时关闭它们的关键能力。)”可知,第四段的主要思想是技术需要被控制管理。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Then, if containment is important, who should bear the duty to do it? It is we technologists. More than anyone else, it is up to us to face it. We might not be able to control the final end points of our work or its long-term effects, but that is no reason to give up responsibility. Decisions technologists make at the source can still shape outcomes. Just because consequences are difficult to predict doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. (那么,如果控制很重要,谁应该承担这个责任呢?是我们技术专家。比任何人都更重要的是,这取决于我们去面对。我们可能无法控制我们工作的最终结果或其长期影响,但这并不是放弃责任的理由。技术人员在源头做出的决定仍然可以影响结果。仅仅因为后果难以预测,并不意味着我们不应该尝试。)”可知,最后一段主要是呼吁技术人员承担起控制技术的责任,是一个行动号召。故选A。
