Here are some fairs coming up in 2025. Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20 Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing. Expo Chicago: Chicago, Apr. 25-27 Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks. One of those was Claire Oliver Gallery of New York, which has participated in every edition so far. “We love this fair,” Claire Oliver said. “The visitors are engaged, ask great questions and are truly curious.” Tokyo Gendai: Yokohama, Sept. 12-14 Asian art fairs have been growing rapidly. The biggest regional player, Art Basel Hong Kong, was joined by Singapore’s Art SG in 2023, the same year as the first edition of Tokyo Gendai. The fair had 69 galleries showing contemporary art in July 2024 for its second edition. “The focus is on cutting-edge and contemporary work,” said Tim Blum, who runs the gallery Blum. Paris Photo: Paris, Nov. 13-16 Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors — we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas. 1. What is special about Art Dubai? A. Its active interaction. B. Its electronic artworks. C. Its cutting-edge collections. D. Its theme on photography. 2. Which fair has the longest history? A.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2025年即将举办的四个艺术展览。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20部分中“The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs.(这次展会有一个数字作品展区，这在其他展会上并不常见)”可知，迪拜艺术博览会的特别之处是它的电子艺术品。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025.(巴黎摄影展每年举办一次，到2025年将迎来第28届)”可知，巴黎摄影展的历史最悠久。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The art market rises and falls, but art fairs are forever. Here are some fairs coming up in 2025.(艺术市场有起有落，但艺术博览会是永恒的。以下是2025年即将举办的一些展会)”可推知，文章的目的是介绍即将到来的艺术博览会。故选C项。 B I highly recommend Antifragile to any student or practitioner of business management, risk management, or anyone with a curious mind and a keen interest in understanding complex human systems. The book delves into various subjects, including education, politics, economics, health, business, science, and risk, providing valuable insights and a deeper understanding of these complex topics. Antifragile builds on the ideas presented in Nassim Taleb’s earlier books, The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness. In The Black Swan, the focus was on the extreme impact of rare events and the limitations of human predictions and forecasting. Fooled by Randomness emphasizes the role of randomness and luck in life and business outcomes as well as the difficulty of distinguishing between actual skill and luck. While those books focus on “black swans” — rare and unpredictable events that have a significant impact, Antifragile further discusses the idea of antifragility and offers solutions to identify, build and benefit from antifragility in every aspect of life. One of the main new topics addressed in Antifragile is that some systems and individuals benefit from stressors and disruptions (干扰) while others are harmed by them. Taleb defines complex systems as systems composed of interconnected and interdependent parts that exhibit nonlinear (非线性) behavior. These systems are characterized by high uncertainty, volatility (波动性), and non-predictability and are often difficult to understand and control. Besides, Taleb defines complexity as the property of a system that makes it hard to predict its behaviour or outcomes based on knowledge of its parts. He argues that complexity emerges from the interactions and relationships between the parts of a system and that it is a fundamental characteristic of many natural and human-made systems, including economies, societies, and ecosystems. Overall, Antifragile is a thought-provoking and influential work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about resilience and stability. 4. Why does the author highly recommend the book Antifragile? A. It provides practical tips for student and practitioner readers. B. It concentrates on business and risk management strategies. C. It offers deep insights into complexity across diverse fields. D. It simplifies complex topics into understandable summaries. 5. What is the relationship between Antifragile and Taleb’s earlier books? A. It contradicts their ideas. B. It expands on their perspectives. C. It disputes their concepts. D. It addresses comparable subjects. 6. What is a characteristic of complex systems according to Taleb? A. Stable outcomes. B. Straightforward interactions. C. Absolute certainty. D. Significant unpredictability. 7. What is the tone of the passage? A. Dismissive. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Enthusiastic. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了Antifragile这本书，以及这本书给人们带来的关于韧性和稳定性的挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The book delves into various subjects, including education, politics, economics, health, business, science and risk, providing valuable insights and a deeper understanding of these complex topics.(这本书探讨了不同的话题，包括教育、政治、经济、健康、商业、科学和风险，提供了有价值的见解，以及对这些复杂话题的深入理解。)”可知，作者极力推荐Antifragile是因为这本书提供了对不同领域复杂性的深刻见解，故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Antifragile builds on the ideas presented in Nassim Taleb’s earlier books, The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness.(Antifragile建立在Nassim Taleb早期著作《黑天鹅》和《随机漫步的傻瓜》中提出的观点之上。)”以及第三段“While those books focus on “black swans” — rare and unpredictable events that have a significant impact, Antifragile further discusses the idea of antifragility and offers solutions to identify, build and benefit from antifragility in every aspect of life.(虽然这两本书关注的是“黑天鹅”——具有重大影响的罕见且不可预测的事件，但Antifragile进一步讨论了反脆弱性的概念，并提供了在生活的各个方面识别、构建和受益于反脆弱性的解决方案。)”可知，Antifragile和Taleb早期著作之间的关系是它扩展了它们的观点，故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Taleb defines complex systems as systems composed of interconnected and interdependent parts that exhibit nonlinear behavior. These systems a characterized by high uncertainty, volatility, and non-predictability an are often difficult to understand and control.(Taleb将复杂系统定义为由相互联系和相互依赖的部分组成的系统，这些部分表现出非线性行为。这些系统的特点是高度不确定性、易变性和不可预测性，通常难以理解和控制。)”可知，Taleb认为复杂系统的特征是重大的不可预测性，故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I highly recommend Antifragile to any student or practitioner of business management, risk management, or anyone with a curious mind and a keen interest in understanding complex human systems.(我强烈推荐Antifragile给任何商业管理、风险管理的学生或从业者，或者任何对理解复杂的人类系统有好奇心和浓厚兴趣的人。)”以及最后一段“Overall, Antifragile is a thought-provoking and influential work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about resilience.(总的来说，Antifragile 是一部发人深省且有影响力的作品，它促使读者重新思考他们对韧性的假设。)”及文章其他段落内容可知作者自始至终都在很热心地介绍并强烈推荐Antifragile这本书，因为作者认为这是一部发人深省且有影响力的作品，由此可推测这篇文章的基调是热情的，故选D项。 C Whether in busy cities or small towns, people from all walks of life enjoy a cup of coffee as part of their daily routine. The thought of a steaming cup of coffee helps to pull many people worldwide out of bed in the morning. Scientists have consistently linked this ubiquitous drink to lowered risks for illnesses such as heart disease, colon cancer and type 2 diabetes. But its effects on the gut microbiome (肠道菌群) are largely unknown. Researchers from Harvard University examined samples from over 20, 000 participants who tracked their daily coffee intake. They discovered that regular coffee consumption has a connection to the growth of a specific gut bacterium (细菌) . “We don’t know much about this bug, but we can place it as likely a good one, ” said Peter Belenky, a microbiologist at Brown University, who was not involved in the study. In the largest-ever study, coffee intake was found to increase the number of certain types of bacteria in the gut, but the connection with Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus (溶糖劳森乳杆菌) was the strongest. When coffee was added to lab dishes containing this bacterium, it grew faster. “It’s rare to find such a strong and clear link, ” said Mingyang Song, a co-senior author of the study from Harvard University. To understand the role of this bacterium in the gut, the researchers looked at substances in the blood of hundreds of participants. They found that higher levels of quinic acid, which can help reduce inflammation (炎症) , were strongly related to the growth of L. asaccharolyticus. The same was true for hippurate, a substance that shows a more diverse gut microbiome and better gut health. Based on these results, the scientists are now trying to connect these bacteria and related substances to overall health. Song explained, “This could help us understand if the bacteria are really behind the health benefits of coffee. ” Analyzing large datasets from many people is a good way to explore the links between what we eat and drink and the bacteria in our gut. Belenky said, “This study might pave the way for a new approach to food research. ” 8. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean? A. Popular. B. Expensive. C. Dangerous. D. Unique. 9. What did Harvard researchers find in their study? A. Which coffee impacts the gut microbiome. B. Drinking coffee contains some gut bacteria. C. Coffee consumption reduces heart disease risk. D. Coffee intake is linked to a certain gut bacterium. 10. Why did the researchers analyze the blood samples? A. To identify other new types of bacteria. B. To prove that coffee reduces inflammation. C. To know how the bacterium works in the gut. D. To develop treatments for gut-related diseases. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. What Effect Coffee Has on People? B. Link Coffee to the Gut Microbiome C. New Approach Applied to Food Study D. Coffee Boosts Beneficial Gut Bacterium 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。哈佛大学研究发现，喝咖啡与肠道中溶糖劳森乳杆菌生长有关联，该菌可能与健康益处相关，为饮食研究提供新方向。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Whether in busy cities or small towns, people from all walks of life enjoy a cup of coffee as part of their daily routine.(无论是在繁忙的城市还是小城镇，各行各业的人都把喝一杯咖啡作为日常生活的一部分。)”以及“Scientists have consistently linked this ubiquitous drink to lowered risks for illnesses such as heart disease, colon cancer and type 2 diabetes. (科学家们一直认为这种ubiquitous饮品与降低心脏病、结肠癌和2型糖尿病等疾病的风险有关。)”可知，这里指咖啡在全球广泛流行，所以ubiquitous表“流行的”意思。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They discovered that regular coffee consumption has a connection to the growth of a specific gut bacterium (细菌) .(他们发现经常喝咖啡与一种特定肠道细菌的生长有关。)”及第三段中的“coffee intake was found to increase the number of certain types of bacteria in the gut, but the connection with Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus was the strongest(研究发现喝咖啡会增加肠道中某些细菌的数量，其中与溶糖劳森乳杆菌的关联最强。)”可知，喝咖啡与特定肠道细菌有关联。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To understand the role of this bacterium in the gut, the researchers looked at substances in the blood of hundreds of participants.(为了解这种细菌在肠道中的作用，研究人员分析了数百名参与者血液中的物质。)”可知，研究人员分析了血液样本目的是探究该细菌的在肠道的作用机制。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第二段中的“They discovered that regular coffee consumption has a connection to the growth of a specific gut bacterium (细菌) .(他们发现经常喝咖啡与一种特定肠道细菌的生长有关。)”可知，全文围绕咖啡摄入促进肠道有益细菌（如溶糖劳森乳杆菌）展开，并探讨其健康意义。所以D选项Coffee Boosts Beneficial Gut Bacterium(咖啡促进有益肠道细菌)直接点明核心内容。故选D。 D The most recent generation of chatbots has surfaced long-term concerns about the growing wisdom and accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI). And fears about the integrity of the job market have spread to the classroom. Yet the truth is that the effects of large-scale language models such as ChatGPT will touch virtually every corner of our lives. These new tools raise society-wide concerns about AI’s role in spreading misinformation, committing identity theft, and more. A team of researchers is seeking to empower tech users to reduce these risks. The study uses data from Real or Fake Text, an original web-based training game. This game is remarkable for transforming the standard experimental method for detection studies into a more accurate model of how people use AI to generate text. In standard methods, participants are asked to indicate in a yes-or-no fashion whether a given text is produced by a machine. This task involves simply classifying a text as real or fake and responses are scored as correct or not. The new model significantly transforms the standard detection study into an effective training task by showing examples that all begin as human-written. Each example then transitions (过渡) into an AI-generated text, asking participants to mark where they believe this transition begins. Participants identify and describe the features of the text and receive a score. The study results show that participants scored significantly better than random chance, providing evidence that AI-created text is detectable. The study speaks not only to artificial intelligence today, but also outlines a reassuring, even exciting, future for our relationship to this technology. “Five years ago,” says Maggie, a researcher in the study, “models couldn’t stay on topic or produce a fluent sentence. Now, they rarely make a grammar mistake. Our study identifies the kind of errors that characterize AI chatbots, but it’s important to keep in mind that these errors have evolved and will continue to evolve. The shift to be concerned about is not that AI-written text is undetectable. It’s that people will need to continue training themselves to recognize the difference and work with detection software as a supplement (补充).” 12 What does paragraph 1 focus on? A. The problems caused by AI tools in job hunting. B. The influence of AI tools on classroom teaching. C. The application of AI tools to facilitate our lives. D The widespread worries about the use of AI tools. 13. How does the new model differ from the standard detection methods? A. It provides immediate response and feedback. B. It involves judging the texts given as real or fake. C. It offers examples to help trainees understand more. D. It asks participants to mark the start of the transition. 14. What can be inferred from Maggie’s words? A. AI models won’t make language errors nowadays. B. Detection software will be needed to ensure fluency. C. Abilities to identify AI-created texts should be improved. D. The errors AI made are ever-changing and undetectable. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. A Comprehensive Guide: Understand AI B. The Rise of AI: From Challenges to Chances C. Real or Fake Text: Learn to Spot the Difference D. The Evolution of Chatbots: From Errors to Concerns 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讨论了人工智能（AI）工具在社会中的广泛应用及其带来的担忧，特别是关于AI生成文本的检测问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The most recent generation of chatbots has surfaced long-term concerns about the growing wisdom and accessibility of artificial intelligence(AI). And fears about the integrity of the job market have spread to the classroom. Yet the truth is that the effects of large-scale language models such as ChatGPT will touch virtually every corner of our lives. These new tools raise society-wide concerns about AI’s role in spreading misinformation, committing identity theft, and more.(最新一代的聊天机器人引发了人们对人工智能日益增长的能力和可访问性的长期担忧。对就业市场完整性的担忧也蔓延到了课堂。然而，事实是像ChatGPT这样的大规模语言模型将几乎触及我们生活的每个角落。这些新工具引发了全社会对AI在传播错误信息、身份盗窃等方面的担忧)”可知，第一段主要讨论了AI工具的广泛应用及其带来的社会担忧。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The new model significantly transforms the standard detection study into an effective training task by showing examples that all begin as human-written. Each example then transitions into an AI-generated text, asking participants to mark where they believe this transition begins.(新模型通过展示以人类编写的文本为起点的示例，将标准的检测研究转变为一项有效的训练任务。每个示例随后过渡为AI生成的文本，要求参与者标记他们认为这种过渡开始的地方)”可知，新模型与标准检测方法的不同之处在于它要求参与者标记过渡的开始。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The shift to be concerned about is not that AI-written text is undetectable. It’s that people will need to continue training themselves to recognize the difference and work with detection software as a supplement (补充).(需要关注的转变并不是AI生成的文本无法检测，而是人们需要继续训练自己以识别差异，并将检测软件作为补充)”可知，Maggie认为人们需要提高识别AI生成文本的能力。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文根据第五段“The shift to be concerned about is not that AI-written text is undetectable. It’s that people will need to continue training themselves to recognize the difference and work with detection software as a supplement (补充).(需要关注的转变并不是AI生成的文本无法检测，而是人们需要继续训练自己以识别差异，并将检测软件作为补充)”文章主要讨论了AI生成文本的检测问题，并介绍了一项新的研究模型，旨在帮助人们更好地识别AI生成的文本。选项C“真实或虚假文本：学会识别差异”为短文的标题。故选C。 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。 Without enabling your body to recover, the efforts you make in the gym amount to nothing.

This shows that many students still lack active involvement in labor. Never can we overemphasize labor is crucial for developing practical skills and a sense of responsibility. Admittedly, not only can it promote students’ physical well-being, but it also helps students understand the value of hard work. I strongly advocate that students should be encouraged to get involved in labor by providing more opportunities. Let’s contribute to a more hands-on and responsible community! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生对于学校英文报正在开展以“My Views on Participating in Labor Activities”为主题的讨论这一情况，根据图表中的调查结果写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 参加：participate in→ take part in 重要的：crucial→ vital 机会：opportunities→ chances 强烈地：strongly→ highly 2.句式拓展 扩写句子 原句：This shows that many students still lack active involvement in labor. 拓展句：This shows that many students still lack active involvement in labor, which needs attention. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Admittedly, not only can it promote students’ physical well-being, but it also helps students understand the value of hard work.（运用了部分倒装） 【高分句型2】I strongly advocate that students should be encouraged to get involved in labor by providing more opportunities.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Evan, the brightest kid in the neighbourhood, ran a backyard detective agency, where he helped neighbors solve mysteries. One chilly November morning, his neighbor James burst into Evan’s clubhouse, with pajamas on, hair stuck up, and boots muddy. “Molly’s gone!” James cried, burying his head in his arms. “Someone must have stolen her.” Evan patted James on the back. “Calm down, James. There might be another explanation.” James looked up, eyes glistening with hope. “Do you think you can find her?” Evan picked up a pencil and his notebook. “I’ll need a complete description.” Molly was James’s beloved pet turtle — olive green with black lines, a pale yellow neck, and a six-inch shell. She had appeared in James’s lily pond the previous spring and loved basking (晒太阳) on a sunlit rock. But that morning, she was nowhere to be found. Evan’s pencil danced across the paper. “Let’s go to the pond. Show me where Molly was before she disappeared.” With a knitted brow, James led the way to the backyard. “I check on her every morning.” James sobbed. “She likes our lily pond, and she always likes to sit on that rock in the sun, stretching out her neck.” Evan jotted down more notes. “Was she on the rock the last time you saw her?” “Yes, she’s there every morning at sunrise. But not today.” He added this information to his notebook. “I’ve found some good clues,” he said, without looking up. “I need to check some facts online. Meet me in my office in 30 minutes.” Rushing home, Evan called out to his mom, asking if he could borrow her laptop. He searched for turtle species in Northern California. Soon, he found matching photographs on a wildlife website. Staring at those photos of hibernating (冬眠的) turtles, Evan was lost in deep thought. James showed up early, “Did you find Molly?” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “Not exactly,” said Evan, “but I know where she is.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: One warm April morning, he rushed to Evan’s clubhouse, breathless. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version: “Not exactly,” said Evan, “but I know where she is.” Unfolding the laptop and scrolling through the pictures he had googled, Evan elaborated, his voice steady and convincing. “You see, James. Turtles often enter a state of hibernation to conserve energy and protect themselves from the freezing temperatures.” James listened intently, his earlier restlessness gradually giving way to curiosity. Evan pointed to a detailed diagram on the screen, illustrating how turtles bury themselves in the mud. “Molly might have done just that,” Evan continued. “She could be right there, waiting for the warmth of spring to wake her up.” James’s face lit up with hope, the weight lifted off his mind. He decided to wait patiently for Molly’s return. One warm April morning, he rushed to Evan’s clubhouse, breathless. “Evan, she’s back!” James exclaimed, eyes sparkling with joy. Together, they hurried to the pond, with brisk steps. There was Molly on her favourite rock, basking in the sunlight, sprawling lazily, and her eyes half-closed in contentment. James knelt down, gently stroking her glistening olive green shell. “Thank you.” he said, looking up at his young neighbor with gratitude. “She was hibernating. You were right all along.” Just then, Molly stretched out her pale yellow neck, as if chiming in his words. Evan smiled, not just for his detective success, but for the profound fulfillment of being a beacon of hope for his neighbors in trouble. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了聪明的小男孩埃文和邻居之间的故事。一个寒冷的早晨，邻居詹姆斯心爱的小乌龟找不到了。他很着急，认为被人偷走了，来到埃文家求助，埃文询问并记录了小乌龟的细节。他安慰了詹姆斯后，借来了妈妈的电脑了解乌龟的相关知识，当看到乌龟冬眠的图片时，陷入了沉思。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘确切地说，没有，”埃文说，‘但我知道她在哪里。’”及上文埃文看到乌龟冬眠的图片时，陷入了沉思可知，第一段可描写埃文向詹姆斯介绍乌龟冬眠的知识，告诉他小乌龟应该是藏到泥土里冬眠了，来年春天会出来的及詹姆斯的心情变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“四月里一个温暖的早晨，他气喘吁吁地冲向埃文的会所。”可知，第二段可描写詹姆斯发现了小乌龟，很高兴，詹姆斯很感激埃文。 2.续写线索：向詹姆斯普及乌龟冬眠知识——詹姆斯感到很新奇——相信了埃文的话——充满希望——小乌龟出现——感谢埃文 3词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：elaborate/explain ②保存，保护：conserve/preserve ③决定：decide/make a decision/determine/elect 情绪类 ①喜悦：one's face lit up/one's face brightened/one's eyes shone/one's eyes sparkled ②感谢：with gratitude/showing his appreciation/gratefully 【点睛】 [高分句型1] Unfolding the laptop and scrolling through the pictures he had googled, Evan elaborated, his voice steady and convincing.（运用了现在分词作状语和独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] James’s face lit up with hope, the weight lifted off his mind.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型3]“Evan, she’s back!” James exclaimed, eyes sparkling with joy.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 青岛六十七中2024-2025学年度第二学期第二学段模块检测 高二英语试题 2025年7月 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Here are some fairs coming up in 2025. Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20 Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing. Expo Chicago: Chicago, Apr. 25-27 Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks. One of those was Claire Oliver Gallery of New York, which has participated in every edition so far. “We love this fair,” Claire Oliver said. “The visitors are engaged, ask great questions and are truly curious.” Tokyo Gendai: Yokohama, Sept. 12-14 Asian art fairs have been growing rapidly. The biggest regional player, Art Basel Hong Kong, was joined by Singapore’s Art SG in 2023, the same year as the first edition of Tokyo Gendai. The fair had 69 galleries showing contemporary art in July 2024 for its second edition. “The focus is on cutting-edge and contemporary work,” said Tim Blum, who runs the gallery Blum. Paris Photo: Paris, Nov. 13-16 Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors — we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas. 1. What is special about Art Dubai? A. Its active interaction. B. Its electronic artworks. C. Its cutting-edge collections. D. Its theme on photography. 2. Which fair has the longest history? A. Art Dubai. B. Expo Chicago. C. Tokyo Gendai. D. Paris Photo. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the work of artists. B. To make assessments on art market. C. To recommend upcoming art fairs. D. To predict future development of art. B I highly recommend Antifragile to any student or practitioner of business management, risk management, or anyone with a curious mind and a keen interest in understanding complex human systems. The book delves into various subjects, including education, politics, economics, health, business, science, and risk, providing valuable insights and a deeper understanding of these complex topics. Antifragile builds on the ideas presented in Nassim Taleb’s earlier books, The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness. In The Black Swan, the focus was on the extreme impact of rare events and the limitations of human predictions and forecasting. Fooled by Randomness emphasizes the role of randomness and luck in life and business outcomes as well as the difficulty of distinguishing between actual skill and luck. While those books focus on “black swans” — rare and unpredictable events that have a significant impact, Antifragile further discusses the idea of antifragility and offers solutions to identify, build and benefit from antifragility in every aspect of life. One of the main new topics addressed in Antifragile is that some systems and individuals benefit from stressors and disruptions (干扰) while others are harmed by them. Taleb defines complex systems as systems composed of interconnected and interdependent parts that exhibit nonlinear (非线性) behavior. These systems are characterized by high uncertainty, volatility (波动性), and non-predictability and are often difficult to understand and control. Besides, Taleb defines complexity as the property of a system that makes it hard to predict its behaviour or outcomes based on knowledge of its parts. He argues that complexity emerges from the interactions and relationships between the parts of a system and that it is a fundamental characteristic of many natural and human-made systems, including economies, societies, and ecosystems. Overall, Antifragile is a thought-provoking and influential work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about resilience and stability. 4 Why does the author highly recommend the book Antifragile? A. It provides practical tips for student and practitioner readers. B. It concentrates on business and risk management strategies. C. It offers deep insights into complexity across diverse fields. D. It simplifies complex topics into understandable summaries. 5. What is the relationship between Antifragile and Taleb’s earlier books? A. It contradicts their ideas. B. It expands on their perspectives. C. It disputes their concepts. D. It addresses comparable subjects. 6. What is a characteristic of complex systems according to Taleb? A. Stable outcomes. B. Straightforward interactions. C. Absolute certainty. D. Significant unpredictability. 7. What is the tone of the passage? A. Dismissive. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Enthusiastic. C Whether in busy cities or small towns, people from all walks of life enjoy a cup of coffee as part of their daily routine. The thought of a steaming cup of coffee helps to pull many people worldwide out of bed in the morning. Scientists have consistently linked this ubiquitous drink to lowered risks for illnesses such as heart disease, colon cancer and type 2 diabetes. But its effects on the gut microbiome (肠道菌群) are largely unknown. Researchers from Harvard University examined samples from over 20, 000 participants who tracked their daily coffee intake. They discovered that regular coffee consumption has a connection to the growth of a specific gut bacterium (细菌) . “We don’t know much about this bug, but we can place it as likely a good one, ” said Peter Belenky, a microbiologist at Brown University, who was not involved in the study. In the largest-ever study, coffee intake was found to increase the number of certain types of bacteria in the gut, but the connection with Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus (溶糖劳森乳杆菌) was the strongest. When coffee was added to lab dishes containing this bacterium, it grew faster. “It’s rare to find such a strong and clear link, ” said Mingyang Song, a co-senior author of the study from Harvard University. To understand the role of this bacterium in the gut, the researchers looked at substances in the blood of hundreds of participants. They found that higher levels of quinic acid, which can help reduce inflammation (炎症) , were strongly related to the growth of L. asaccharolyticus. The same was true for hippurate, a substance that shows a more diverse gut microbiome and better gut health. Based on these results, the scientists are now trying to connect these bacteria and related substances to overall health. Song explained, “This could help us understand if the bacteria are really behind the health benefits of coffee. ” Analyzing large datasets from many people is a good way to explore the links between what we eat and drink and the bacteria in our gut. Belenky said, “This study might pave the way for a new approach to food research. ” 8. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean? A. Popular. B. Expensive. C. Dangerous. D. Unique. 9. What did Harvard researchers find in their study? A. Which coffee impacts the gut microbiome. B. Drinking coffee contains some gut bacteria. C. Coffee consumption reduces heart disease risk. D. Coffee intake is linked to a certain gut bacterium. 10. Why did the researchers analyze the blood samples? A. To identify other new types of bacteria. B. To prove that coffee reduces inflammation. C. To know how the bacterium works in the gut. D. To develop treatments for gut-related diseases. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. What Effect Coffee Has on People? B. Link Coffee to the Gut Microbiome C. New Approach Applied to Food Study D. Coffee Boosts Beneficial Gut Bacterium D The most recent generation of chatbots has surfaced long-term concerns about the growing wisdom and accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI). And fears about the integrity of the job market have spread to the classroom. Yet the truth is that the effects of large-scale language models such as ChatGPT will touch virtually every corner of our lives. These new tools raise society-wide concerns about AI’s role in spreading misinformation, committing identity theft, and more. A team of researchers is seeking to empower tech users to reduce these risks. The study uses data from Real or Fake Text, an original web-based training game. This game is remarkable for transforming the standard experimental method for detection studies into a more accurate model of how people use AI to generate text. In standard methods, participants are asked to indicate in a yes-or-no fashion whether a given text is produced by a machine. This task involves simply classifying a text as real or fake and responses are scored as correct or not. The new model significantly transforms the standard detection study into an effective training task by showing examples that all begin as human-written. Each example then transitions (过渡) into an AI-generated text, asking participants to mark where they believe this transition begins. Participants identify and describe the features of the text and receive a score. The study results show that participants scored significantly better than random chance, providing evidence that AI-created text is detectable. The study speaks not only to artificial intelligence today, but also outlines a reassuring, even exciting, future for our relationship to this technology. “Five years ago,” says Maggie, a researcher in the study, “models couldn’t stay on topic or produce a fluent sentence. Now, they rarely make a grammar mistake.

One chilly November morning, his neighbor James burst into Evan’s clubhouse, with pajamas on, hair stuck up, and boots muddy. “Molly’s gone!” James cried, burying his head in his arms. “Someone must have stolen her.” Evan patted James on the back. “Calm down, James. There might be another explanation.” James looked up, eyes glistening with hope. “Do you think you can find her?” Evan picked up a pencil and his notebook. “I’ll need a complete description.” Molly was James’s beloved pet turtle — olive green with black lines, a pale yellow neck, and a six-inch shell. She had appeared in James’s lily pond the previous spring and loved basking (晒太阳) on a sunlit rock. But that morning, she was nowhere to be found. Evan’s pencil danced across the paper. “Let’s go to the pond. Show me where Molly was before she disappeared.” With a knitted brow, James led the way to the backyard. “I check on her every morning.” James sobbed. “She likes our lily pond, and she always likes to sit on that rock in the sun, stretching out her neck.” Evan jotted down more notes. “Was she on the rock the last time you saw her?” “Yes, she’s there every morning at sunrise. But not today.” He added this information to his notebook. “I’ve found some good clues,” he said, without looking up. “I need to check some facts online. Meet me in my office in 30 minutes.” Rushing home, Evan called out to his mom, asking if he could borrow her laptop. He searched for turtle species in Northern California. Soon, he found matching photographs on a wildlife website. Staring at those photos of hibernating (冬眠的) turtles, Evan was lost in deep thought. James showed up early, “Did you find Molly?” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “Not exactly,” said Evan, “but I know where she is.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: One warm April morning, he rushed to Evan’s clubhouse, breathless. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
