高二英语试题第4页,共12页
About five years ago,I was part of a pilot group for my boss tasked with
figuring out how to hire and mentor (people with disabilities and make them
successful inside the organisation.My boss was very kind and he decided to be the
executive sponsor for the pilot.Until then we had only hired people with visually
challenged disability.
I led the interview process and hiring of a candidate with an autism()
disability.The candidate had the qualifications but our interview panel felt that the
disability would prevent him from leamning the skills and being successful in the
role.
I convinced my peers to give him a role,and try out-after all,it was a pilot
program meant for our organisation to learn too.I gave the candidate a lot of
encouragement and I became one of his mentors.Our HR department was not too
supportive to take some risks so we could only hire him as a temporary contractor.
The candidate slowly and surely blossomed in the workplace.There were many
bumps along the way but the candidate came to be accepted by his colleagues and
his leadership.I continued to mentor him closely and helped him to get around a
number of challenges his disability presented at the workplace and home.The
candidate too won many friends and admiration at the workplace.
Fast forward five years,he called me last night to let me know that he got a
formal offer yesterday from his manager as a regular employee with a job title.
I congratulated him and told him my joy knew no bounds on his success.He
went on to say "Sir,without your support all these years,I would not be here".I told
him "Your success is the reward of your hard work and persistence.You are an
inspiration to a lot of people with similar disabilities."
Isn't it wonderful that a person with disability is thriving in a workplace and
makes his family so proud?
24.What is the pilot program about in the text?
A.Training visually disabled people to work.
B.Providing temporary jobs for the disabled.
C.Mentoring people with autism to find regular jobs.
D.Employing and helping people with disabilities at work.
25.What did the interview panel think of the candidate with autism?
A.He lacked learning abilities.
B.He couldn't take care of himself.
C.He didn't meet the requirements needed.
D.He performed poorly during the interview.

B.Rising to a managerial role.
C.Winning an employee award.
D.Creating a support network

Have you ever heard the phrase "net-zero hero"?A net-zero hero is someone
who fights climate change through the choices they make in life,such as putting
solar panels on their roof or driving an electric car.The story of a net-zero hero is
meant to inspire the rest of us to do our bit to help the world.
It sounds good,but a recent study from the University of Sydney suggests that
the story of the net-zero hero is being used by energy companies to avoid their own
responsibility for global carbon emissions.
The study looked at hundreds of public documents from energy companies in
Australia that were published between 2015 and 2022.It found examples of the
net-zero hero story in many press releases and public reports.These suggested that
small actions,like turning off unneeded electrical appliances or using more efficient
ones,were important in the fight against climate change.However,these documents
tended to diminish the energy industry's own role in reducing emissions.
In reality,the energy industry is the largest producer of global carbon emissions,
producing about 40%according to the World Bank.Tom van Laer,an associate
Professor of the University of Sydney Business School and also a co-author of the
study,explained that the energy companies'narrative simplifies the climate crisis.
"It places too much responsibility on individuals,and ignores the bigger picture of
business and government responsibilities essential for meaningful climate action,"
he said."While individual actions are valuable,they cannot replace systemic
changes that address the root causes of climate change."
This study serves as a call to rethink climate responsibility.To truly address the
climate emergency,society must move beyond the "net-zero hero"myth and
demand transformative action from industries and governments.Only then can we
achieve sustainable progress in fighting climate change.

Poetry is maybe the most human of all human endeavors,which is thought least
likely to be taken over by Al.But according to a recent study,this is not so,as
non-experts rate AI poetry higher than poetry written by humans.
The researchers chose 10 famous poets:Samuel Butler,Geoffrey Chaucer,
William Shakespeare...They then asked ChatGTP 3.5 to write poems in the style of
each poet.And they asked the participants,who were not experts,to rate the work on
14 scales,like profundity,rhythm,originality,imagery,beauty,emotion,and overall
quality.
What was surprising indeed is that most of these non-experts,when they were
not told whether a poem was composed by Al or by a human systematically,ranked
the ones that were actually written by AI higher than the ones written by humans
What does this experiment show exactly?The researchers are very clear that
these findings were limited to non-experts.The research team's own explanation has
to do with participants'lack of expertise,concluding that these non-experts preferred
the AI poetry because it was less complicated,and more straightforward.
This must be part of the story,but it's not the whole story.Take another deeply
human endeavor,wine-tasting,as an example.It was first reported that non-experts
are very bad at making the simplest distinctions about wine,but shortly afterwards it
高二英语试题第7页,共12页
was found that experts make the same kind of mistakes and sometimes they in fact
made more mistakes.
Plus,it is usually tricky to do experiments on aesthetic (appreciation.
Thisxperiment wasabout the participantssefreporabou theirxprind,
as we know from literally thousands of studies,self-reports can be misleading in
most contexts.So this experiment was not about the real aesthetic experience of
poetry,which is what really matters.It was about what participants thought about
their aesthetic experience.
The study is important and creative.But it doesn't show that promising poets
should abandon their passion.Not yet,anyway.
32.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The process of the experiment.B.The principle of the experiment.
0
C.The subject of the experiment.D.The result of the experiment.
33.Why does the author mention"wine-tasting"in paragraph 5?
A.To compare poetry with wine.B.To show non-experts'preferences.
C.To prove the research findings.D.To argue against the team's explanation.
34.What can be inferred about the non-experts according to the text?
A.They showed good aesthetic appreciation skills.
B.They had prior experience in evaluating poetic quality.
vnrnt tow oof sahibtur
C.They rated the poems based on their aesthetic experience.
D.They were expert in distinguishing AI poetry from human poetry.
35.What is the author's attitude towards the future of human poetry?
A.Optimistic.
B.Indifferent.C.Critical.
D.Doubtful.
