Hawn never imagined she’d find her passion in such an unusual field. Despite the unconventional path, she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. Her role comes with a diverse set of responsibilities, from detecting and treating head lice using an officially approved device to scheduling appointments, selling products, collecting payments, and providing education to patients.
Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice. For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference.
Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare. Through her experience, Hawn has realized that her true passion lies in helping others regain their confidence and peace of mind.
Hawn has been working at the clinic for nearly five years. Despite the misconceptions people have about lice, she remains committed to her work. She even addresses the common myth that lice can fly or jump, explaining that lice only spread through direct head-to-head contact. Hawn takes precautions to ensure she doesn’t carry anything home after treatments. While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this.
Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day. Her work at the lice clinic has been a stepping stone toward a promising future in health care.
24. Hawn believes that working at the clinic can bring her a sense of ________.
A. relief B. belonging C. satisfaction D. responsibility
25. What does the underlined word “assuage” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Tolerate. B. Record. C. Ease. D. Explain.
26. What can we know about Hawn from paragraph 4?

C. She often fails to catch up with her schedule. D. She works to support herself through college.
27. What does Hawn probably intend to do after graduation?
A. Devote herself to health care. B. Reconsider her initial work plan.
C. Further her study on medicine. D. Get a full-time job at the lice clinic.
C
Humans have always been creating security systems to deal with the sorts of mistakes humans commonly make. Now, humanity is rapidly integrating a totally different kind of mistake-maker into society: artificial intelligence (AI).
Technologies like large language models (LLMs) can perform many cognitive (认知的) tasks traditionally fulfilled by humans, but they make plenty of mistakes. Unlike human mistakes, AI errors lack patterns and usually show invisibility even when they are incorrect.
This situation indicates two possible areas of research The first is to engineer LLMs that make more human-like mistakes. The second is to build new mistake-correcting systems that deal with the specific sorts of mistakes that LLMs tend to make.
We already have some tools to lead LLMs to act in more human-like ways and the tools perform far better than we expected. Many of these arise from the field of “alignment” research, which aims to make models act in accordance with the goals and motivations of their human developers. One example is the technique that was arguably responsible for the breakthrough success of an app: reinforcement (强化) learning with human feedback. In this method, an AI model is rewarded for producing responses that get a thumbs-up from human evaluators.
When it comes to catching AI mistakes, some of the systems that we use to prevent human mistakes will help. To an extent, forcing LLMs to double-check their own work can help prevent errors. But LLMs can also make up seemingly reasonable, but truly ridiculous explanations for their flights from reason.
In addition other mistake reduction systems for AI are also unlike anything we use for humans. Because machines can’t get tired or frustrated in the way that humans do, it can help to ask an LLM the same question repeatedly in slightly different ways and then combine its multiple responses. These differences highlight the need for new, custom-made correction mechanisms (机制) that match the unique nature of AI-ensuring these technologies can be safely and reliably integrated into human societies.
28. How are AI mistakes different from human mistakes?
A. They are not easy to detect. B. They follow predictable patterns.
C. They tend to be in larger numbers. D. They are not related to cognitive tasks.
29. What does the author want to stress about the tools for leading the behavior of LLMs?
A. They have certain positive effects.
B. Their application hasn’t been popular.
C. They need further training for human evaluators’ rewards.
D. Their goals have not met the original intentions of human developers.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. AI mistakes are easier to fix than human errors.
B. Humans require tailored solutions for AI errors.
C. AI is able to copy any systems we use for humans.
D. Systems for correcting human mistakes can prevent LLMs mistakes fully.
31. What is the the best title for the text?
A. Why Is AI Always Right?
B. When Do Human Errors Increase?
C. Adapting to AI Error Patterns
D. Making AI Mistakes Manageable

Award-winning The Atlantic staff writes Zoe Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of popular science — The Light Eaters that explores the hidden world of the plant kingdom and reveals the astonishing capabilities of the green life all around us.
It takes great biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and grow well while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted clever methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their relatives and behave socially, hear sounds, change to shape their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit, to name just a few remarkable talents.
The Light Eaters is a deep dive into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency. consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than copy human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel (相似的) system. What is intelligent life if not a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the bill of its pollinator (传粉者), a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it? Zoe Schlanger takes us across the globe, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing organisms up close.
What can we learn about life on Earth from the living things that grow well, adapt, consume, and accommodate at the same time? Examining the latest revelations in botanical research, Schlanger highlights the intellectual struggles among the researchers developing an entirely new view of their subject, offering a glimpse (一瞥) of a field in chaos as plant scientists debate the principles of ongoing discoveries and how they influence our understanding of what a plant is.
We need plants to survive. But what do they need us for — if at all? Offering an eye opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants and our own place-in the natural world.
32. What does the bock The Light Eaters mainly focus on?
A. The importance of plants.
B. Plants’ surprising survival abilities.
C. Animal-plant communication methods.
D. The scientists’ challenges in the study of green life.
33. Why does the author mention “a pea seedling” in paragraph 3?
A. To compare different kinds of plant social behavior.
B. To clarify how plants copy human intelligence.
C. To indicate the link between humans and plants.
D. To prove plants have their own unique intelligence.
34. What can we learn about plant scientists regarding the discoveries from paragraph 4?
A. They reach no agreement.
B. They have unified conclusions.
C. They ignore plants’ memories.
D. They struggle to redefine plant.
35. What does the author think of the book The Light Eaters?
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in insights.
C. It is hard and complex. D. It is highly debatable.

Ethan tightened the laces (鞋带) on his running shoes, his heart pounding with excitement. The next day would be the city’s annual Youth Marathon, and he had trained for months, rain or shine, dreaming of crossing the finish line with a medal shining around his neck.
As he carefully packed his race bag-shoes, energy bars, and his lucky wristband-he heard the familiar sound of the front door opening. His grandmother, who had come to live with them after a bad illness, struggled to carry a heavy grocery bag into the house. Ethan froze. From the kitchen, he caught a glimpse of her thin body bending awkwardly under the weight.
Setting his bag aside, he hurried over and grabbed the bag from her. “Grandma, you should have called me!” he said, worry flashing across his face. Grandma smiled weakly. “You’re busy preparing for your big day, sweetheart. I didn’t want to bother you.”
Ethan felt a wave of guilt. He helped her settle into her favorite armchair, noticing for the first time how tired she looked. His mother came out from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel, and whispered, “She insisted on making your favorite dishes for after the race.”
Later that night. Ethan lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Excitement for the marathon was mixed with worry. His grandmother had been independent all her life, but he could see she was struggling.
Morning came with a cool autumn breeze. The streets were filled with energy as young runners gathered at the starting line, colorful banners waving overhead. Ethan stood among them, heart racing, his number proudly attached to his shirt.
The mayor stepped onto the stage, microphone in hand. “Welcome, runners! Today, you race not just for yourselves, but for the spirit of this city. Let’s make it a day to remember!” The starter raised the flag. Ethan crouched (蹲伏), muscles ready like springs. But then, his phone buzzed violently in his pocket. Frowning, he pulled it out. It was a text from his mother: Emergency. Grandma fell. At home.
The flag dropped. The crowd surged (涌动) forward. Ethan stood frozen.
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。
Suddenly Ethan didn’t race toward the finish line, but home.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, a package from the racing committee arrived at Ethan’s house.

Hawn never imagined she’d find her passion in such an unusual field. Despite the unconventional path, she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. Her role comes with a diverse set of responsibilities, from detecting and treating head lice using an officially approved device to scheduling appointments, selling products, collecting payments, and providing education to patients.
Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice. For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference.
Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare. Through her experience, Hawn has realized that her true passion lies in helping others regain their confidence and peace of mind.
Hawn has been working at the clinic for nearly five years. Despite the misconceptions people have about lice, she remains committed to her work. She even addresses the common myth that lice can fly or jump, explaining that lice only spread through direct head-to-head contact. Hawn takes precautions to ensure she doesn’t carry anything home after treatments. While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this.
Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day. Her work at the lice clinic has been a stepping stone toward a promising future in health care.

Humans have always been creating security systems to deal with the sorts of mistakes humans commonly make. Now, humanity is rapidly integrating a totally different kind of mistake-maker into society: artificial intelligence (AI).
Technologies like large language models (LLMs) can perform many cognitive (认知的) tasks traditionally fulfilled by humans, but they make plenty of mistakes. Unlike human mistakes, AI errors lack patterns and usually show invisibility even when they are incorrect.
This situation indicates two possible areas of research. The first is to engineer LLMs that make more human-like mistakes. The second is to build new mistake-correcting systems that deal with the specific sorts of mistakes that LLMs tend to make.
We already have some tools to lead LLMs to act in more human-like ways and the tools perform far better than we expected. Many of these arise from the field of “alignment” research, which aims to make models act in accordance with the goals and motivations of their human developers. One example is the technique that was arguably responsible for the breakthrough success of an app: reinforcement (强化) learning with human feedback. In this method, an AI model is rewarded for producing responses that get a thumbs-up from human evaluators.
When it comes to catching AI mistakes, some of the systems that we use to prevent human mistakes will help. To an extent, forcing LLMs to double-check their own work can help prevent errors. But LLMs can also make up seemingly reasonable, but truly ridiculous explanations for their flights from reason.
In addition, other mistake reduction systems for AI are also unlike anything we use for humans. Because machines can’t get tired or frustrated in the way that humans do, it can help to ask an LLM the same question repeatedly in slightly different ways and then combine its multiple responses. These differences highlight the need for new, custom-made correction mechanisms (机制) that match the unique nature of AI-ensuring these technologies can be safely and reliably integrated into human societies.
28. How are AI mistakes different from human mistakes?
A. They are not easy to detect. B. They follow predictable patterns.
C. They tend to be in larger numbers. D. They are not related to cognitive tasks.
29. What does the author want to stress about the tools for leading the behavior of LLMs?
A. They have certain positive effects.
B. Their application hasn’t been popular.
C. They need further training for human evaluators’ rewards.
D. Their goals have not met the original intentions of human developers.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. AI mistakes are easier to fix than human errors.
B. Humans require tailored solutions for AI errors.
C. AI is able to copy any systems we use for humans.
D. Systems for correcting human mistakes can prevent LLMs mistakes fully.
31. What is the the best title for the text?
A. Why Is AI Always Right?
B. When Do Human Errors Increase?
C. Adapting to AI Error Patterns
D. Making AI Mistakes Manageable
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了AI的犯错机制以及应对的方法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段末句“Unlike human mistakes, AI errors lack patterns and usually show invisibility even when they are incorrect.(与人类的错误不同,人工智能的错误缺乏规律,即便出错也往往难以察觉)”可知,人工智能的错误不太容易被发现。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We already have some tools to lead LLMs to act in more human-like ways and the tools perform far better than we expected.(我们已经有一些工具能让大型语言模型以更像人类的方式行事,而且这些工具的表现远远超出了我们的预期)”和“One example is the technique that was arguably responsible for the breakthrough success of an app: reinforcement learning with human feedback.(一个例子是某种技术,这种技术或许正是某款应用程序取得突破性成功的关键所在:结合人类反馈的强化学习)”可推断,AI有着积极的作用。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段末句“These differences highlight the need for new, custom-made correction mechanisms that match the unique nature of AI-ensuring these technologies can be safely and reliably integrated into human societies.(这些差异凸显了需要建立全新的、定制化的纠正机制,以适应人工智能的独特特性——从而确保这些技术能够安全、可靠地融入人类社会之中)”可推断对于AI的错误,人类需要量身定制解决方案。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段末句“Now, humanity is rapidly integrating a totally different kind of mistake-maker into society: artificial intelligence (如今,人类正迅速将一种截然不同的“错误制造者”引入社会:那就是人工智能)以及末段末句“These differences highlight the need for new, custom-made correction mechanisms that match the unique nature of AI-ensuring these technologies can be safely and reliably integrated into human societies.(这些差异凸显了需要建立全新的、定制化的纠正机制,以适应人工智能的独特特性——从而确保这些技术能够安全、可靠地融入人类社会之中)”,可知本文主要介绍了AI出现的问题及纠正机制,选项D表示“让人工智能犯错变得可控”,适合作文章标题。故选D项。

Award-winning The Atlantic staff writes Zoe Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of popular science — The Light Eaters that explores the hidden world of the plant kingdom and reveals the astonishing capabilities of the green life all around us.
It takes great biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and grow well while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted clever methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their relatives and behave socially, hear sounds, change to shape their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit, to name just a few remarkable talents.
The Light Eaters is a deep dive into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency. consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than copy human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel (相似的) system. What is intelligent life if not a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the bill of its pollinator (传粉者), a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it? Zoe Schlanger takes us across the globe, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing organisms up close.
What can we learn about life on Earth from the living things that grow well, adapt, consume, and accommodate at the same time? Examining the latest revelations in botanical research, Schlanger highlights the intellectual struggles among the researchers developing an entirely new view of their subject, offering a glimpse (一瞥) of a field in chaos as plant scientists debate the principles of ongoing discoveries and how they influence our understanding of what a plant is.
We need plants to survive. But what do they need us for — if at all? Offering an eye opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants and our own place-in the natural world.
32. What does the bock The Light Eaters mainly focus on?
A The importance of plants.
B. Plants’ surprising survival abilities.
C. Animal-plant communication methods.
D. The scientists’ challenges in the study of green life.
33. Why does the author mention “a pea seedling” in paragraph 3?
A. To compare different kinds of plant social behavior.
B. To clarify how plants copy human intelligence.
C. To indicate the link between humans and plants.
D. To prove plants have their own unique intelligence.
34. What can we learn about plant scientists regarding the discoveries from paragraph 4?
A. They reach no agreement.
B. They have unified conclusions.
C. They ignore plants’ memories.
D. They struggle to redefine plant.
35. What does the author think of the book The Light Eaters?
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in insights.
C. It is hard and complex. D. It is highly debatable.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B

【56题详解】

【57题详解】

【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:其他有相似出行需求的人可以投票,若需求达到阈值界限——通常为每趟15至20名乘客——线路即会开通。空处需修饰“15 to 20 passengers”,表示通常情况,需用副词形式typically作状语。故填typically。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:通过5月8日开放的在线平台,用户输入起止点、偏好时间和出行频率。空处需要填入一个名词,与“start and end points, preferred times”并列作宾语。所给词frequent的名词形式为frequency。故填frequency。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:首批测试线路DZ301是一条试点线路,连接地铁站与办公楼、学校及周边住宅区。此句已有was,空处应填入非谓语动词,且主语route与link之间与为主动关系,需用现在分词作后置定语。故填linking。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:首批测试线路DZ301是一条试点线路,连接地铁站与办公楼、学校及周边住宅区。block为可数名词,与句中的office buildings和schools并列,需用复数形式表示泛指,作宾语。故填blocks。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:该线路源于去年12月一位居民提交的请求。request为可数名词单数,表示“一位居民提交的请求”,其前应填入不定冠词,resident’s是辅音音素开头的单词,request前边使用a。故填a。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为回应,交通部门进行了实地调研并计算高峰时段周转时间。介词in与response to构成固定短语in response to,意为“对……的回应”,置于句首,首字母大写。故填In。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同济大学交通运输工程学院的一位教授表示,该系统依托上海密集的交通网络,实现了运力与需求的精准匹配,既提升了高峰出行的便利性,又优化了资源利用效率。said后到句末为宾语从句,已有谓语动词builds,此处需要填入非谓语动词,表示这个系统基于上海密集的交通网络而建造的目的,需用不定式作目的状语。故填to match。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:线路会显示在“热门定制”页面,其他人可投票助其达到开通阈值界限。空格处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a “Popular Customization” page,关系词在从句中作地点状语,需用关系副词where引导。故填where。

Ethan tightened the laces (鞋带) on his running shoes, his heart pounding with excitement. The next day would be the city’s annual Youth Marathon, and he had trained for months, rain or shine, dreaming of crossing the finish line with a medal shining around his neck.
As he carefully packed his race bag-shoes, energy bars, and his lucky wristband-he heard the familiar sound of the front door opening. His grandmother, who had come to live with them after a bad illness, struggled to carry a heavy grocery bag into the house. Ethan froze. From the kitchen, he caught a glimpse of her thin body bending awkwardly under the weight.
Setting his bag aside, he hurried over and grabbed the bag from her. “Grandma, you should have called me!” he said, worry flashing across his face. Grandma smiled weakly. “You’re busy preparing for your big day, sweetheart. I didn’t want to bother you.”
Ethan felt a wave of guilt. He helped her settle into her favorite armchair, noticing for the first time how tired she looked. His mother came out from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel, and whispered, “She insisted on making your favorite dishes for after the race.”
Later that night. Ethan lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Excitement for the marathon was mixed with worry. His grandmother had been independent all her life, but he could see she was struggling.
Morning came with a cool autumn breeze. The streets were filled with energy as young runners gathered at the starting line, colorful banners waving overhead. Ethan stood among them, heart racing, his number proudly attached to his shirt.
The mayor stepped onto the stage, microphone in hand. “Welcome, runners! Today, you race not just for yourselves, but for the spirit of this city. Let’s make it a day to remember!” The starter raised the flag. Ethan crouched (蹲伏), muscles ready like springs. But then, his phone buzzed violently in his pocket. Frowning, he pulled it out. It was a text from his mother: Emergency. Grandma fell. At home.
The flag dropped. The crowd surged (涌动) forward. Ethan stood frozen.

Suddenly Ethan didn’t race toward the finish line, but home.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly Ethan didn’t race toward the finish line, but home. His heart pounded harder than ever as he weaved through the crowded streets, avoiding runners and onlookers. When he burst through the front door, he found the ambulance had already parked outside and medical workers were gently lifting his grandmother onto a stretcher. “She’s going to be fine,” one of them assured him with a kind smile. Relieved, Ethan rushed to Grandmother’s side and squeezed her hand, feeling tears sting his eyes. His grandmother smiled weakly at him and urged him to return to the marathon, but Ethan kept her company.
A week later, a package from the racing committee arrived at Ethan’s house. Inside were a special medal and a carefully folded letter. Unfolding it, Ethan read aloud, “Dear Ethan, sometimes the greatest race is not against others, but for the ones we love. Your decision showed courage, kindness, and strength beyond any finish line. You are the winner of the day.” His grandmother, beaming proudly from her armchair, nodded in agreement. Holding the medal tightly, Ethan smiled, knowing that some victories would shine in his heart forever.
