During May and June, thousands of fireflies light up the skies around Mumbai and Pune before the rains begin. Join us on the Rajmachi Fort Hike, one of India’s main spots for firefly sightings. We will hike to the base village of Rajmachi Fort and spot fireflies after sunset. Hike Dates: May 30th to June 2nd, 2025. Difficulty Level: Moderate (depends on the weather, previous hiking experience preferred). Max Altitude: 2,710 Feet. Age Group: 18 to 40 years (not for kids). Group Size: Maximum of 14 participants. Event Cost: $ 60. Schedule: Day 01 — Friday 10:30 PM: Depart from Hyderabad via Mumbai Express. Day 02 — Saturday 12:00 PM: Arrive at Kalyan and proceed to the base point. 08:00 PM: Dinner time, prepare for the firefly hike to the top of Shrivardhan Fort. Hike among the fireflies and admire the amazing night view of the city from the summit (山顶). Day 03 — Sunday 05:30 AM: Begin the hike to Manranjan Fort, covered in clouds. 10:00 AM: Return from the hike and start the journey back. Day 04 — Monday 05:30 AM: Arrive in Hyderabad. Refund Policy: Make an initial payment of $ 27 for confirmation (non-refundable), and the rest should be paid 7 days prior to the start of the event.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在拉杰马奇堡的萤火虫约会活动，包括活动目的、时间、难度、费用、日程安排以及退款政策等信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Join us on the Rajmachi Fort Hike, one of India’s main spots for firefly sightings. We will hike to the base village of Rajmachi Fort and spot fireflies after sunset. (加入我们的拉杰马奇堡徒步旅行，这是印度观赏萤火虫的主要地点之一。我们将徒步前往拉杰马奇堡的基村，并在日落后观赏萤火虫)”可知，拉杰马奇堡徒步旅行的目的是观赏萤火虫。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Hike Dates: May 30th to June 2nd, 2025. (徒步日期：2025年5月30日至6月2日)”以及“Day 02—Saturday 08:00 PM: Dinner time, prepare for the firefly hike to the top of Shrivardhan Fort. (第二天——星期六 晚上8点：晚餐时间，准备萤火虫徒步前往希瓦尔丹堡山顶)”可知，萤火虫徒步旅行将在5月31日星期六进行。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Refund Policy(退款政策)”部分“Make an initial payment of $ 27 for confirmation (non-refundable), and the rest should be paid 7 days prior to the start of the event. Full refund will be provided if the event is canceled due to unexpected circumstances. The amount except the initial payment will be refunded only if canceled 7 days before the event. (首期付款$ 27作为确认费用 (不可退款)，其余费用需在活动开始前7天支付。如活动因意外情况取消，将获全额退款。除首期付款外的其他款项，如于活动前7天取消，将获发还)”可知，参与者需要先支付27美元作为确认费用，这部分费用是不可退还的。活动总费用是60美元，已经支付了27美元，那么剩余款项就是60 - 27 = 33美元。这33美元需要在活动开始前7天支付。题目中说参与者在活动前5天取消，这不符合“在活动开始前7天取消”这一退款条件。所以，除了不可退还的27美元初始付款外，已经支付的剩余33美元也不会退还。参与者总共支付的60美元都无法退还，即他将损失60美元。故选C。 B In a generation dominated by digital screens and fast-paced content, the simple act of picking up a book is losing its essence. Fortunately, two Indian college students, Heet Doshi,20, and Om Thakkar, 19, both book enthusiasts who found themselves struggling to find like-minded people, decided to create a space where people could connect, share ideas, and form bonds over their love for books. Thus, “Your Reading Circle” was born in September 2023, a space for passionate readers to gather and share books and stories. Then in early 2024, the co-founders came across the concept of mini-libraries in Perumkulam, a village in Kerala, where three public libraries were set up every few hundred metres to make reading accessible. Inspired by this, they thought of replicating the mode in Ahmedabad to encourage the city’s reading culture further. However, the journey was not smooth. Initially, they had no idea how to get permission to set up libraries in public parks or where to gather books and find funds. But they were determined to bring the idea to life. Eventually, after dedicating a lot of time and efforts, they installed the first library at Parimal Garden. It was centrally located near colleges, drawing people from all age groups. The success of the first library motivated the two, and soon, more parks across Ahmedabad witnessed the arrival of mini-libraries. These libraries are free and accessible to all, more than just places to borrow books. They have turned into centers for conversation, learning, and community-building. The co-founders have noticed that the libraries are playing an important role in promoting the reading culture in parks and gardens. “People who previously spent their time glued to their phones are now picking up books and reading in the parks. I see at least 20 people near the libraries, browsing the books and engaging in discussions,” Heet observes. The libraries have even caught the attention of people outside Ahmedabad. “Individuals from across India, as well as from places like Australia, Canada, and the US, have reached out to express their appreciation for the initiative,” he adds. 4. What does the underlined word “replicating” mean in paragraph 2? A. Modelling on. B. Depending upon. C. Researching into. D. Adjusting to. 5. What was a problem facing the co-founders at the start of the mini-libraries? A. They lacked funding for their project. B. They failed to attract like-minded people. C. They couldn’t afford a space to store books. D. They had no experience in organizing events. 6. How have the mini-libraries contributed to the community? A. They have increased the park attendances. B. They have taken the place of traditional schools. C. They have transformed phone addicts into book lovers. D. They have promoted the interaction and bonding among people. 7. Which of the following best describes the impact of the mini-libraries? A. Short-lived. B. Predictable. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了两位印度大学生Heet Doshi和Om Thakkar创建“Your Reading Circle”并设立迷你图书馆，以促进阅读文化的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Then in early 2024, the co-founders came across the concept of mini-libraries in Perumkulam, a village in Kerala, where three public libraries were set up every few hundred metres to make reading accessible. Inspired by this, they thought of replicating the mode in Ahmedabad to encourage the city’s reading culture further. (2024年初，两位联合创始人偶然了解到喀拉拉邦一个名为Perumkulam的村庄的迷你图书馆概念，那里每隔几百米就设立了三个公共图书馆，以便人们阅读。受此启发，他们考虑在艾哈迈达巴德replicating这种模式，以进一步鼓励该市的阅读文化)”可知，他们受到喀拉拉邦迷你图书馆的启发，打算在艾哈迈达巴德也采用这种模式，由此可知，replicating在此处意为“模仿，仿效”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the journey was not smooth. Initially, they had no idea how to get permission to set up libraries in public parks or where to gather books and find funds. (然而，这一过程并不顺利。起初，他们不知道如何在公共公园获得设立图书馆的许可，也不知道从哪里收集书籍和寻找资金)”可知，在创立迷你图书馆之初，他们面临的问题是缺乏资金。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“These libraries are free and accessible to all, more than just places to borrow books. They have turned into centers for conversation, learning, and community-building. (这些图书馆免费向所有人开放，不仅仅是借书的地方。它们已经变成了对话、学习和社区建设的中心)”以及第五段中“The co-founders have noticed that the libraries are playing an important role in promoting the reading culture in parks and gardens. (联合创始人注意到，这些图书馆在促进公园和花园的阅读文化方面发挥着重要作用)”可知，迷你图书馆不仅促进了阅读文化的传播，还成为了人们交流、学习和社区建设的中心，促进了人们之间的互动和联系。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The co-founders have noticed that the libraries are playing an important role in promoting the reading culture in parks and gardens. (联合创始人注意到，这些图书馆在促进公园和花园的阅读文化方面发挥着重要作用)”以及最后一段“The libraries have even caught the attention of people outside Ahmedabad. “Individuals from across India, as well as from places like Australia, Canada, and the US, have reached out to express their appreciation for the initiative,” he adds. (这些图书馆甚至引起了艾哈迈达巴德以外人们的注意。“来自印度各地以及澳大利亚、加拿大和美国等地的人都联系我们，表达他们对这一倡议的赞赏，”他补充道)”可知，迷你图书馆不仅在艾哈迈达巴德产生了影响，还吸引了来自印度各地乃至世界其他地方的人们的关注和赞赏，由此可知，迷你图书馆的影响是深远的。故选C。 C Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It will be mixed up with memories of strikes and power cuts in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs and in a world where television was limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly. Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established venue for touring bands but London enjoyed a number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel of running a pub. In fact, there were an awful lot of bands and singers you could see on a regular basis within 25 miles of London. Even better, admission was free in many of the smaller venues. The concentration of so much of this in such a small geographical area was a comparatively recent development, and can be traced to the impact the 1973 oil price rise had on the record industry. Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a van and staying overnight in hotels suddenly became extremely expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on venues closer to home to lower traveling and accommodation costs. There were other factors at work too. It’s worth remembering that the London of the 1970s was a city with a constantly declining population. There were many empty houses as well as local authority flats that were “hard to let”. And commercial space too, which meant plenty of recording and rehearsing(排练) studios. Forget the negative comments of the 1970s, the strikes and power cuts. We should celebrate the sounds that came out of the pubs half a century ago as part of our rich musical heritage. 8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To recall the memories of London. B. To show the unstable life in London. C. To introduce the emergence of live music. D. To reveal the severe situation of people’s life. 9. Why did many bands perform in venues closer to their homes? A. To reach a larger audience. B. To avoid strikes and power cuts. C. To take advantage of free admission. D. To reduce travel and accommodation costs. 10. What contributed to the concentration of live music venues in London? A. The decline in commercial space. B. The abundance of empty houses. C. The popularity of television channels. D. The lack of cheap accommodation. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The rise of London’s live music in the 1970s. B. The history of the development of London. C. The contributions London made to music. D. The views of London in the 1970s. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了20世纪70年代伦敦现场音乐的兴起及其背后的原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It will be mixed up with memories of strikes and power cuts in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs and in a world where television was limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly. (提到20世纪70年代，大多数人都会有自己的看法。这将会与伦敦的罢工和停电的记忆交织在一起。再深入一点，你会发现有很多酒吧，在那个电视只有三个频道，电影院经常每周换两次节目的世界里)”可知，通过提及20世纪70年代的伦敦，包括罢工、停电、酒吧和有限的电视节目等，为后文引出该时期现场音乐的兴起做了铺垫。由此可知，第一段的目的是为了引入现场音乐的出现这一主题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a van and staying overnight in hotels suddenly became extremely expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on venues closer to home to lower traveling and accommodation costs. (在每个人都经历过的罢工和停电的背景下，未来的摇滚明星们发现，开着面包车在英国各地巡回演出，并在酒店过夜，突然变得极其昂贵。乐队集中在离家更近的地方演出以降低旅行和住宿费用，这并不奇怪)”可知，乐队选择在离家更近的地方演出是为了降低旅行和住宿费用。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“There were other factors at work too. It’s worth remembering that the London of the 1970s was a city with a constantly declining population. There were many empty houses as well as local authority flats that were “hard to let”. And commercial space too, which meant plenty of recording and rehearsing(排练) studios. (还有其他因素在起作用。值得记住的是，20世纪70年代的伦敦是一个人口不断减少的城市。有许多空房子，还有当地政府的公寓“很难出租”。还有商业空间，这意味着有大量的录音和排练工作室)”可知，20世纪70年代伦敦人口不断减少，有许多空房子和难以出租的公寓，还有大量的商业空间，包括录音和排练工作室，这些因素共同促成了现场音乐场所在伦敦的集中。由此可知，大量的空房子是现场音乐场所在伦敦集中的原因之一。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中“Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established venue for touring bands but London enjoyed a number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel of running a pub. (不过，最棒的还是现场音乐。每个城镇都有为巡回乐队设立的固定场地，但伦敦有许多较小的场地，每周有几个晚上举办摇滚、民谣或爵士演出。其中许多是由爱尔兰人拥有或管理的，这是提供现场音乐是经营酒吧的重要组成部分的传统的一部分)”和最后一段“Forget the negative comments of the 1970s, the strikes and power cuts. We should celebrate the sounds that came out of the pubs half a century ago as part of our rich musical heritage. (忘掉20世纪70年代的负面评论、罢工和停电吧。我们应该庆祝半个世纪前酒吧里传出的声音，这是我们丰富音乐遗产的一部分)”可知，文章主要讲述了20世纪70年代伦敦现场音乐的兴起，包括其背景、原因和影响。故选A。 D You can talk to an AI chatbot about pretty much anything, from help with daily tasks to the problems you may need to solve. Its answers reflect the human data that taught it how to act like a person; but how human-like are the latest chatbots, really? As people turn to AI chatbots for more of their Internet needs, and the bots get incorporated into more applications from shopping to health care, a team of researchers sought to understand how AI chatbots reproduce human empathy, which is the ability to understand and share another person’s feelings. A study led by UC Santa Cruz Professor Magy Seif El-Nasr and Stanford University Researcher Mahnaz Roshanaei, explores how AI chatbots evaluate and perform empathy. To do so, the researchers asked both a group of humans and AI chatbots to read short stories of human positive and negative, and rate their empathy toward each story on a scale of 1 to 5, and compared the responses. The stories came from real human experiences, which were made completely anonymous (匿名的). They also had AI chatbots perform the same rating task after being informed about a set of features including gender, perspective, or similarity of experiences. Overall, the researchers found that when it comes to offering an emotional response, AI chatbots are overly empathetic, particularly in response to sad stories. “They are very emotional in terms of negative feelings, and they try to be very nice,” Roshanaei said. “But when a person talks about very positive events happening to them, AI chatbots don’t seem to care.” This over-empathizing situation was also present when they are told that the person they were chatting to was a female. “It’s happening because the data comes from humans, and humans have biases toward other humans,” Roshanaei explained. This acts as a warning that the technology is not quite ready to be used with sensitive populations such as teenagers, or those with mental health conditions. “This shows that even though AI is amazing, it still has a lot of big gaps in comparison to humans,” Roshanaei said. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To test the reliability of AI chatbots. B. To explore the potential of AI chatbots. C. To figure out how understanding AI chatbots are. D. To compare the intelligence of AI chatbots and humans. 13. How may AI chatbots most likely respond to an uplifting story? A. Express intense excitement. B. Call the story’s realness into question. C. Display minimal emotional engagement. D. Ask follow-up questions about specific details. 14. What is Roshanaei’s attitude toward current AI technology? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Emotional AI Begins to Catch on. B. AI Chatbots Struggle with Empathy. C. How AI Chatbots Reform Healthcare. D Why AI Chatbots Surpass Humans in Empathy. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于人工智能聊天机器人在共情能力方面表现的研究。研究结果表明，当前AI在情感理解上仍存在明显不足，尤其不适合用于需要高度敏感性的场景。这反映出AI虽然技术先进，但在情感智能方面仍有很大差距。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“a team of researchers sought to understand how AI chatbots reproduce human empathy, which is the ability to understand and share another person’s feelings. (一组研究人员试图了解人工智能聊天机器人如何再现人类的同理心，即理解和分享他人感受的能力。)”可知，研究人员进行这项研究的目的是为了弄清楚人工智能聊天机器人的理解能力如何，特别是它们如何理解和分享人类的情感。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“But when a person talks about very positive events happening to them, AI chatbots don’t seem to care. (但是当一个人谈论发生在他们身上的非常积极的事件时，人工智能聊天机器人似乎并不关心。)”可以推断，当面对一个令人振奋的故事时，人工智能聊天机器人最可能表现出极少的情感参与。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Roshanaei的话“This shows that even though AI is amazing, it still has a lot of big gaps in comparison to humans, (这表明，尽管人工智能令人惊叹，但与人类相比，它仍然存在很多巨大的差距。)”可以看出，Roshanaei对当前的人工智能技术持客观态度，既看到了其惊人之处，也指出了其与人类相比存在的不足。因此，选项B“Objective.客观的”符合题意。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讨论了人工智能聊天机器人在理解和分享人类情感(即同理心)方面的表现，并指出它们在处理积极情感时显得不够关心，而在处理消极情感时则过于同情。这表明人工智能聊天机器人在同理心方面存在困难。因此，选项B“AI Chatbots Struggle with Empathy(AI聊天机器人在共情方面存在困难。)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选B。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you live in fear?

It wasn’t until I encountered a baby gorilla (大猩猩) named Afia that my viewpoint began to change. In 2016, as a zookeeper, I brought Afia home. She had been born by emergency C-section (剖宫产) at Bristol Zoo after her mother, Kera, developed a serious disease that’s harmful to her baby. Kera was too weak to care for Afia, so I took on the responsibility of hand-raising her. I worked with a family group of western lowland gorillas, a critically endangered species. The zoo’s role was to maintain their ability to survive in the wild by promoting their independence through conservation programs across Europe. Taking care of Afia was like stepping into a parent’s shoes. I wore an item of clothing to copy a gorilla’s fur, and she learned to follow me wherever I went. She slept on my chest at night, hugged me at unexpected noises, and I helped with her first steps. Teaching Afia basic survival skills was crucial. I showed her how to open bananas and crack nuts with stones, and guided her to climb with ropes. These tasks were exhausting but rewarding. At night, caring for Afia was also challenging. She often woke up crying, and I had to figure out if she was hungry, scared, or just needed comfort. One night, she had a stomachache after eating too many grapes. I gently rubbed her stomach and gave her warm water to comfort her. Another time, a thunderstorm frightened her, and I held her closely, rocking her gently until she calmed down. These moments taught me patience and empathy. Afia gradually became more independent. So we got ready to test her ability to live independently on a certain day. We set up a special area with all the elements of her natural habitat, including climbing trees and finding food. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And the day finally came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Afia’s success reminded me of my own mother’s devotion to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 And the day finally came. The special area was ready, filled with climbing trees, hidden nuts, and fresh fruits. As we arrived in the special area, Afia hesitated, hugging my leg with her tiny hands. Gently, I pushed and encouraged her to walk forward, whispering, “You can do this.” Step by step, she went in, cautiously climbing the trees and touching the ropes. When she successfully cracked open a nut using a stone—just as I had taught her, my heart filled with pride. She was no longer the helpless baby I had carried on my chest; she was growing into a strong, independent gorilla. A fia’s success reminded me of my own mother’s devotion to me. Watching Afia explore confidently, I realized how much patience and love my mother must have showed in raising me-teaching me to walk, comforting my fears, staying up late helping me with homework, and quietly celebrating my small victories. In that moment, standing before Afia’s habitat, I finally understood the depth of a mother’s love—whether human or gorilla. Tears welled up as I whispered, “Thank you, Mom.” I realized Afia’s journey mirrored my own, and that love, in any form, is the greatest teacher of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位动物园管理员（作者）在2016年将一只名叫阿菲亚的大猩猩幼崽带回家抚养的经历。在抚养过程中，作者不仅要教阿菲亚基本的生活技能，还要应对她半夜哭闹、肚子疼或被雷声吓到等状况。通过这些经历，管理员逐渐体会到为人父母的不易，并开始理解自己母亲养育自己的奉献精神。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一天终于到来了”可知，本段描述了阿菲亚被放入特殊生活区的场景。重点描写了阿菲亚从依赖到独立的过程，以及作者的情感变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“菲娅的成功让我想起了自己母亲对我无尽的关爱。”可知，本段描写将阿菲亚的成功与作者自己的成长经历联系起来，并描述作者自己的最终感悟。 2.续写线索： 阿菲亚的成长探索——作者的鼓励与骄傲——联想到母亲的养育之恩——意识到母爱的伟大 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/inspire/motivate ②探索：explore/venture/discover ③明白到：realize/understand 情绪类 ①骄傲：pride/satisfaction/gratification ②宽慰恐惧：comfort fears/relieve fears 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B In a generation dominated by digital screens and fast-paced content, the simple act of picking up a book is losing its essence. Fortunately, two Indian college students, Heet Doshi,20, and Om Thakkar, 19, both book enthusiasts who found themselves struggling to find like-minded people, decided to create a space where people could connect, share ideas, and form bonds over their love for books. Thus, “Your Reading Circle” was born in September 2023, a space for passionate readers to gather and share books and stories. Then in early 2024, the co-founders came across the concept of mini-libraries in Perumkulam, a village in Kerala, where three public libraries were set up every few hundred metres to make reading accessible. Inspired by this, they thought of replicating the mode in Ahmedabad to encourage the city’s reading culture further. However, the journey was not smooth. Initially, they had no idea how to get permission to set up libraries in public parks or where to gather books and find funds. But they were determined to bring the idea to life. Eventually, after dedicating a lot of time and efforts, they installed the first library at Parimal Garden. It was centrally located near colleges, drawing people from all age groups. The success of the first library motivated the two, and soon, more parks across Ahmedabad witnessed the arrival of mini-libraries. These libraries are free and accessible to all, more than just places to borrow books. They have turned into centers for conversation, learning, and community-building. The co-founders have noticed that the libraries are playing an important role in promoting the reading culture in parks and gardens. “People who previously spent their time glued to their phones are now picking up books and reading in the parks. I see at least 20 people near the libraries, browsing the books and engaging in discussions,” Heet observes. The libraries have even caught the attention of people outside Ahmedabad. “Individuals from across India, as well as from places like Australia, Canada, and the US, have reached out to express their appreciation for the initiative,” he adds. 4. What does the underlined word “replicating” mean in paragraph 2? A. Modelling on. B. Depending upon. C. Researching into. D. Adjusting to. 5. What was a problem facing the co-founders at the start of the mini-libraries? A. They lacked funding for their project. B. They failed to attract like-minded people. C. They couldn’t afford a space to store books. D. They had no experience in organizing events. 6. How have the mini-libraries contributed to the community? A. They have increased the park attendances. B. They have taken the place of traditional schools. C. They have transformed phone addicts into book lovers. D. They have promoted the interaction and bonding among people. 7. Which of the following best describes the impact of the mini-libraries? A. Short-lived. B. Predictable. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. C Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It will be mixed up with memories of strikes and power cuts in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs and in a world where television was limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly. Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established venue for touring bands but London enjoyed a number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel of running a pub. In fact, there were an awful lot of bands and singers you could see on a regular basis within 25 miles of London. Even better, admission was free in many of the smaller venues. The concentration of so much of this in such a small geographical area was a comparatively recent development, and can be traced to the impact the 1973 oil price rise had on the record industry. Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a van and staying overnight in hotels suddenly became extremely expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on venues closer to home to lower traveling and accommodation costs. There were other factors at work too. It’s worth remembering that the London of the 1970s was a city with a constantly declining population. There were many empty houses as well as local authority flats that were “hard to let”. And commercial space too, which meant plenty of recording and rehearsing(排练) studios. Forget the negative comments of the 1970s, the strikes and power cuts. We should celebrate the sounds that came out of the pubs half a century ago as part of our rich musical heritage. 8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To recall the memories of London. B. To show the unstable life in London. C. To introduce the emergence of live music. D. To reveal the severe situation of people’s life. 9. Why did many bands perform in venues closer to their homes? A. To reach a larger audience. B. To avoid strikes and power cuts. C. To take advantage of free admission. D. To reduce travel and accommodation costs. 10. What contributed to the concentration of live music venues in London? A. The decline in commercial space. B The abundance of empty houses. C. The popularity of television channels. D. The lack of cheap accommodation. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The rise of London’s live music in the 1970s. B. The history of the development of London. C. The contributions London made to music. D. The views of London in the 1970s. D You can talk to an AI chatbot about pretty much anything, from help with daily tasks to the problems you may need to solve. Its answers reflect the human data that taught it how to act like a person; but how human-like are the latest chatbots, really? As people turn to AI chatbots for more of their Internet needs, and the bots get incorporated into more applications from shopping to health care, a team of researchers sought to understand how AI chatbots reproduce human empathy, which is the ability to understand and share another person’s feelings. A study led by UC Santa Cruz Professor Magy Seif El-Nasr and Stanford University Researcher Mahnaz Roshanaei, explores how AI chatbots evaluate and perform empathy. To do so, the researchers asked both a group of humans and AI chatbots to read short stories of human positive and negative, and rate their empathy toward each story on a scale of 1 to 5, and compared the responses. The stories came from real human experiences, which were made completely anonymous (匿名). They also had AI chatbots perform the same rating task after being informed about a set of features including gender, perspective, or similarity of experiences. Overall, the researchers found that when it comes to offering an emotional response, AI chatbots are overly empathetic, particularly in response to sad stories. “They are very emotional in terms of negative feelings, and they try to be very nice,” Roshanaei said. “But when a person talks about very positive events happening to them, AI chatbots don’t seem to care.” This over-empathizing situation was also present when they are told that the person they were chatting to was a female. “It’s happening because the data comes from humans, and humans have biases toward other humans,” Roshanaei explained. This acts as a warning that the technology is not quite ready to be used with sensitive populations such as teenagers, or those with mental health conditions. “This shows that even though AI is amazing, it still has a lot of big gaps in comparison to humans,” Roshanaei said. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To test the reliability of AI chatbots. B. To explore the potential of AI chatbots. C. To figure out how understanding AI chatbots are. D. To compare the intelligence of AI chatbots and humans. 13. How may AI chatbots most likely respond to an uplifting story? A. Express intense excitement. B. Call the story’s realness into question. C. Display minimal emotional engagement. D. Ask follow-up questions about specific details. 14. What is Roshanaei’s attitude toward current AI technology? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Emotional AI Begins to Catch on. B. AI Chatbots Struggle with Empathy. C. How AI Chatbots Reform Healthcare. D. Why AI Chatbots Surpass Humans in Empathy. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you live in fear?

It wasn’t until I encountered a baby gorilla (大猩猩) named Afia that my viewpoint began to change. In 2016, as a zookeeper, I brought Afia home. She had been born by emergency C-section (剖宫产) at Bristol Zoo after her mother, Kera, developed a serious disease that’s harmful to her baby. Kera was too weak to care for Afia, so I took on the responsibility of hand-raising her. I worked with a family group of western lowland gorillas, a critically endangered species. The zoo’s role was to maintain their ability to survive in the wild by promoting their independence through conservation programs across Europe. Taking care of Afia was like stepping into a parent’s shoes. I wore an item of clothing to copy a gorilla’s fur, and she learned to follow me wherever I went. She slept on my chest at night, hugged me at unexpected noises, and I helped with her first steps. Teaching Afia basic survival skills was crucial. I showed her how to open bananas and crack nuts with stones, and guided her to climb with ropes. These tasks were exhausting but rewarding. At night, caring for Afia was also challenging. She often woke up crying, and I had to figure out if she was hungry, scared, or just needed comfort. One night, she had a stomachache after eating too many grapes. I gently rubbed her stomach and gave her warm water to comfort her. Another time, a thunderstorm frightened her, and I held her closely, rocking her gently until she calmed down. These moments taught me patience and empathy. Afia gradually became more independent. So we got ready to test her ability to live independently on a certain day. We set up a special area with all the elements of her natural habitat, including climbing trees and finding food. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And the day finally came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Afia’s success reminded me of my own mother’s devotion to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
