A New York food bank was offered a large donation of fresh fish last month — but the gift came with a difficulty.
LocalCoho,a New York salmon (鲑鱼) farm that was closing, wanted to give 18,100kilograms of salmon to the Food Bank of Central New York. The high-quality meat could feed thousands of families. However, the gift fish were still alive and swimming in the farm’s large pool. The organization needed to find a way to remove about 13,000 salmon from the pool and, later, process them into food.
And the food aid group needed to do all this quickly, before the business closed forever at the end of January. Thanks to many volunteers, the group was able to empty the pool in time, place the fish in cold storage and transport them to a processer.
Brian McManus is the food bank’s chief operations officer. He said that the short amount of time to complete the operation made activities difficult. But he said, “I knew that we had the will. I knew we had the skill.”
Christina Hudson Kohler was among the volunteers who got into the water to collect the fish and put them into the cold storage containers. “It’s a little bit different,” Kohler said during a break. “In the past, my volunteer work with the food bank has been sorting carrots or peppers...”
LocalCoho was a new company that had been developing a sustainable (可持续的) salmon farming system. The system uses recycled water. The company had been supplying salmon to buyers, including restaurants, with the goal of building farms across the country. But company officials said they could not raise enough money from investors (投资者) to grow and make money. So, they decided to close the business.
The company did not want the fish to go to waste so it sought a way to donate them. The donation is expected to provide more than 26,000 hard-to-reach meals to hungry people.
4. What problem did the New York food bank meet?
A. It had no ability to process food. B. It had to turn the live fish into food.
C. It lacked a source of food to hand out. D. It had not enough volunteers to help it.
5. What did the chief operations officer stress about the donation?
A. Time was tight to deal with the donation.
B. He lacked experience in treating live fish.
C. There were no funds for processing live fish.
D. The donors were generous enough to donate.
6. What was Christina Hudson Kohler’s volunteer work this time?
A. Transporting live fish. B. Processing live fish.
C. Sorting vegetables. D. Catching live fish.
7. Why did the new company give up their business?
A. Food banks needed fish. B. Salmon are not popular.
C. It lacked money. D. It wasted too much water.
C
Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas.
There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest.
The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant £38 million of funding from an insurance company.
Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.”
8. What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past?
A. Low temperature. B. Animal farming.
C. Plant variation. D. High humidity.
9. What can we say about the movement across Britain?
A. It’s worrying. B. It’s promising.
C. It’s unrealistic. D. It’s uncontrollable.
10. What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Further. B. More unlikely.
C. Quicker. D. More costly.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests
B. The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain
C. A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain
D. The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests

“Generative AI has transformed education dramatically,” says senior study author Chin-Hsi Lin, an education technology researcher at the University of Hong Kong. Lin and his colleagues recruited postgraduate students from 14 regions who were studying in the U.K. and used AI in their work. The students were asked to come up with and explain a metaphor (隐喻) for the way generative AI impacted their academic writing.
By analyzing the responses, the researchers found four categories for how students were using and thinking about AI in their work. The most basic of these was the use of AI to check English grammar or format a reference list. Participants compared AI to aesthetic (美学的) enhancements such as makeup or high heels, or a mechanical tool such as a packaging machine or measuring tape.
In the next category, AI was more involved in the writing process itself. Some students used it to organize the logic of their writing; some equated it to Tesla’s Autopilot because it helped them stay on track.
In the third category, students used AI to more meaningfully transform their writing process and final product. Here, they called the technology a “bridge” or a “teacher” that could help them overcome cross-cultural boundaries in communication styles — especially important because academic writing is so often done in English.
In the fourth category, students’ metaphors highlighted the potential danger of AI. Some of the participants expressed discomfort with the way it enabled a lack of innovation or a lack of deeper understanding (like fast food, convenient but not nutritious). In this category, students most commonly considered it handy.
“Metaphors really matter, and they have shaped the public discourse (论述) for all kinds of new technologies,” says Emily Weinstein, a technology researcher. “The comparisons we use to talk about new technology can reveal our assumptions about how they work — and even our blind spots. There’s never only one right metaphor to talk about a new technology. When we try to assign just one metaphor to a new technology, we risk flattening it and overlooking both its benefits and dangers.”
12. What is the primary focus of the study conducted by Lin and his colleagues?
A. The moral concerns about AI in education.
B. The role of AI in postgraduates’ academic writing.
C. The effectiveness of AI in writing academic papers.
D. The impact of AI on students’ creativity in research.
13. Which aspect of AI does the third category of metaphors emphasize?
A. Its impact on narrowing cultural gaps.
B. Its method for enforcing language rules.
C. Its effect on simplifying technical language.
D. Its function of reducing academic workloads.
14. What concern is raised in the fourth category of metaphors?
A. AI’s highly addictive feature.
B. AI’s high costs and inaccessibility.
C. AI’s lack of creativity and inspiration.
D. AI’s ineffectiveness in academic writing.
15. What is Weinstein’s attitude towards using a single metaphor for Al?
A Positive. B. Indifferent.
C. Unclear. D. Negative.

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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Choosing new technology for schools can be exciting, but poor planning often leads to wasted time and money. ____16____ Here are three that matter most.
Timeline for implementation (实施)
We often plan tech adoption on a school-year cycle, starting in August or September. But that timing can backfire. Instead, the best time to begin test cases is during the spring of the year before full implementation. ____17____ Schools should seek companies that support multi-year plans with fair prices, starting early to lower the risk.
Professional Learning
New contracts often include initial training. But what happens in later years with new teachers, deeper implementation, or refresher needs? ____18____ If two products offer similar features, knowing which one includes long-term professional learning — and which one charges extra — can make or break a decision.
Working with old systems
New tools don’t work alone. Schools already have systems in place like learning management platforms and student databases. ____19____ Educators and students benefit when systems are connected and simple to use. ____20____
By carefully considering implementation timing, ongoing training needs, and system integration, schools can turn technology investments from potential wastes into lasting educational resources. Thoughtful planning in these three areas ensures new tools truly improve teaching and learning.
A. New tools must work well with those already in use.
B. Not every new tool needs to interact with existing ones.
C. However, poor system integration can waste teachers’ time.
D. But problems can arise if certain questions aren’t considered.
E. Trying out tools during spring makes full use easier in the fall.
F. Some companies are generous at first but later become hard to reach.
G. To avoid failure, schools should ask key questions before making a purchase.

Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanised looms to microchips — would usurp (侵占) human jobs. For the most part, the humans have prevailed (获胜,盛行). Now, say some experts, with AI ubiquity on the horizon, the ____21____ is being realised: the robots really are coming for some jobs.
A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter of all the work ____22____ done by humans. Across the European Union and US, the report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to ____23____. And that could be dire, says Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. “It's not just that this would happen to ____24____, but it could be pretty systemic,” he says. “It could happen to a lot of people, potentially quite suddenly, potentially all at the same time. And that has ____25____ not just for those individuals, but for the whole economy.”
Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts ____26____ their warnings with a caveat: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve ____27____ human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. And moving into roles that center those skills could help ____28____ the chances of being replaced. “I think there are generally three ____29____ that are going to be relatively insulated (绝缘的,隔热的) in the foreseeable future,” says Ford. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely _____30_____: you’re not doing formulaic work or just rearranging things, but you're genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.”
The second safe zone, he continues, is jobs that require _____31_____ interpersonal relationships. He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. These are jobs, he says, “where you need a very deep _____32_____ of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships”. The third safe zone, says Ford, “are jobs that really require lots of mobility and dexterity and problem-solving ability in _____33_____ environments”. Many trade jobs – think electricians, plumbers, welders and the like – fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you're dealing with a new situation all the time,” he adds. “They are probably the hardest of anything to automate. In order to automate jobs like this, you would need a science fiction robot. You’d need Star Wars’s C-3PO.”
While humans will likely remain in jobs that fall within those categories, that doesn’t mean those professions are totally insulated from the ascent of AI. In fact, says Joanne Song McLaughlin, associate professor of labor economics at the University of Buffalo, US, most jobs, regardless of _____34_____, have aspects that are likely to be automated by the _____35_____. In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is good way to stave off (挡开,避开 ) job loss to AI. At least, for a while.
21. A. issue B. threat C. ambition D. target
22. A. temporarily B. potentially C. currently D. probably
23. A. automation B. revolution C. imagination D. information
24. A. individuals B. white collars C. manual workers D. designers
25. A. benefits B. comments C. fascinations D. implications
26. A. receive B. propose C. issue D. cancel
27. A. indifferently B. distinctly C. deliberately D. collaboratively
28. A. increase B. lessen C. seize D. treasure
29. A. contents B. preferences C. factors D. categories
30. A. traditional B. physical C. creative D. mental
31 A. distant B. foreseeable C. simple D. sophisticated
32. A. administration B. development C. understanding D. misinterpretation
33. A. unpredictable B. dangerous C. controllable D. noisy
34. A. position B. occupation C. income D. industry
35. A. engineer B. technology C. potential D. tendency

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。
Oliver and his father were doing their weekly shopping in the nearby supermarket when he noticed a leather wallet on the ground. After picking it up curiously, Oliver found a bookstore logo on the surface, which reminded him of his part-time-job experience working at a bookstore during college.
In addition, he found a large amount of cash and a business card with a phone number on it. Oliver and his father had been living a poor life all together although his father worked hard each day. Oliver had been struggling with unemployment while actively looking for a new job.
“What if I keep the wallet?” he said to himself, the thought of financial relief crossing his mind. “I could use the money to do something.” Yet, a wave of guilt washed over him. “But Father would be annoyed if I…” he thought, holding the wallet tightly. Noticing his hesitation, Oliver’s father asked what was wrong. He told his father about the wallet and his inner struggle. With a gentle but firm voice, his father reminded him of the values, “We shouldn’t keep what isn’t ours, Oliver.”
Oliver’s face turned red with a mix of emotions. “We have bills without steady income monthly, and this could be a turning point,” he responded. His father admitted their difficulties but encouraged him to think about the right thing to do, saying, “Returning it could bring you unexpected good luck.”
Finally, Oliver decided to call the number on the business card. The owner was an elderly man, who was very grateful to take his wallet back. He explained that the money inside was prepared for his son Noah, which was important for his new business-a bookstore he was planning to open. As Oliver walked away, he felt a sense of fulfillment (成就感) from doing the right thing, but he continued to worry about his own job search and financial situation.
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。
Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later.

A New York food bank was offered a large donation of fresh fish last month — but the gift came with a difficulty.
LocalCoho,a New York salmon (鲑鱼) farm that was closing, wanted to give 18,100kilograms of salmon to the Food Bank of Central New York. The high-quality meat could feed thousands of families. However, the gift fish were still alive and swimming in the farm’s large pool. The organization needed to find a way to remove about 13,000 salmon from the pool and, later, process them into food.
And the food aid group needed to do all this quickly, before the business closed forever at the end of January. Thanks to many volunteers, the group was able to empty the pool in time, place the fish in cold storage and transport them to a processer.
Brian McManus is the food bank’s chief operations officer. He said that the short amount of time to complete the operation made activities difficult. But he said, “I knew that we had the will. I knew we had the skill.”
Christina Hudson Kohler was among the volunteers who got into the water to collect the fish and put them into the cold storage containers. “It’s a little bit different,” Kohler said during a break. “In the past, my volunteer work with the food bank has been sorting carrots or peppers...”
LocalCoho was a new company that had been developing a sustainable (可持续的) salmon farming system. The system uses recycled water. The company had been supplying salmon to buyers, including restaurants, with the goal of building farms across the country. But company officials said they could not raise enough money from investors (投资者) to grow and make money. So, they decided to close the business.
The company did not want the fish to go to waste so it sought a way to donate them. The donation is expected to provide more than 26,000 hard-to-reach meals to hungry people.
4. What problem did the New York food bank meet?
A. It had no ability to process food. B. It had to turn the live fish into food.
C. It lacked a source of food to hand out. D. It had not enough volunteers to help it.
5. What did the chief operations officer stress about the donation?
A. Time was tight to deal with the donation.
B. He lacked experience in treating live fish.
C. There were no funds for processing live fish.
D. The donors were generous enough to donate.
6. What was Christina Hudson Kohler’s volunteer work this time?
A. Transporting live fish. B. Processing live fish.
C. Sorting vegetables. D. Catching live fish.
7. Why did the new company give up their business?
A. Food banks needed fish. B. Salmon are not popular.
C. It lacked money. D. It wasted too much water.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】

Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas.
There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest.
The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant £38 million of funding from an insurance company.
Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.”
8. What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past?
A. Low temperature. B. Animal farming.
C. Plant variation. D. High humidity.
9. What can we say about the movement across Britain?
A. It’s worrying. B. It’s promising.
C. It’s unrealistic. D. It’s uncontrollable.
10. What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Further. B. More unlikely.
C. Quicker. D. More costly.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests
B. The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain
C. A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain
D. The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C

词义猜测题。根据最后一段“The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. (成熟的温带雨林需要几十年的时间才能形成,但是对自然的好处会更swifter)”,由but可知,前后形成转折,前面说需要的时间长,后面应表示好处来得快,所以“swifter”意为“更快的”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. (凯尔特雨林曾一度遍布英国西部较为湿润的地区。但在过去的几个世纪里,这些古老的林地逐渐被砍伐清理,转而变成了用于放牧牛羊的牧场)”以及结合全文内容可知,文章开篇提到英国凯尔特雨林的消失,随后重点介绍了当前全国范围内恢复雨林的努力,包括植树计划、资金支持以及预期的生态效益,因此,最佳标题应涵盖“恢复雨林”这一核心内容。故选C项。

“Generative AI has transformed education dramatically,” says senior study author Chin-Hsi Lin, an education technology researcher at the University of Hong Kong. Lin and his colleagues recruited postgraduate students from 14 regions who were studying in the U.K. and used AI in their work. The students were asked to come up with and explain a metaphor (隐喻) for the way generative AI impacted their academic writing.
By analyzing the responses, the researchers found four categories for how students were using and thinking about AI in their work. The most basic of these was the use of AI to check English grammar or format a reference list. Participants compared AI to aesthetic (美学的) enhancements such as makeup or high heels, or a mechanical tool such as a packaging machine or measuring tape.
In the next category, AI was more involved in the writing process itself. Some students used it to organize the logic of their writing; some equated it to Tesla’s Autopilot because it helped them stay on track.
In the third category, students used AI to more meaningfully transform their writing process and final product. Here, they called the technology a “bridge” or a “teacher” that could help them overcome cross-cultural boundaries in communication styles — especially important because academic writing is so often done in English.
In the fourth category, students’ metaphors highlighted the potential danger of AI. Some of the participants expressed discomfort with the way it enabled a lack of innovation or a lack of deeper understanding (like fast food, convenient but not nutritious). In this category, students most commonly considered it handy.
“Metaphors really matter, and they have shaped the public discourse (论述) for all kinds of new technologies,” says Emily Weinstein, a technology researcher. “The comparisons we use to talk about new technology can reveal our assumptions about how they work — and even our blind spots. There’s never only one right metaphor to talk about a new technology. When we try to assign just one metaphor to a new technology, we risk flattening it and overlooking both its benefits and dangers.”
12. What is the primary focus of the study conducted by Lin and his colleagues?
A. The moral concerns about AI in education.
B. The role of AI in postgraduates’ academic writing.
C. The effectiveness of AI in writing academic papers.
D. The impact of AI on students’ creativity in research.
13. Which aspect of AI does the third category of metaphors emphasize?
A. Its impact on narrowing cultural gaps.
B. Its method for enforcing language rules.
C. Its effect on simplifying technical language.
D. Its function of reducing academic workloads.
14. What concern is raised in the fourth category of metaphors?
A. AI’s highly addictive feature.
B. AI’s high costs and inaccessibility.
C. AI’s lack of creativity and inspiration.
D AI’s ineffectiveness in academic writing.
15. What is Weinstein’s attitude towards using a single metaphor for Al?
A. Positive. B. Indifferent.
C. Unclear. D. Negative.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Here, they called the technology a ‘bridge’ or a ‘teacher’ that could help them overcome cross-cultural boundaries in communication styles — especially important because academic writing is so often done in English. (在这里,他们称该技术为‘桥梁’或‘老师’,可以帮助他们克服沟通风格中的跨文化边界——尤其重要,因为学术写作经常用英语完成。)”可知,第三类隐喻强调 AI 在缩小文化差距方面的作用。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Some of the participants expressed discomfort with the way it enabled a lack of innovation or a lack of deeper understanding (like fast food, convenient but not nutritious). (一些参与者对其导致缺乏创新或缺乏深入理解的方式表示不满(如快餐,方便但无营养)。)”可知,第四类隐喻关注AI导致的创造力和灵感缺失。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Weinstein的表述“When we try to assign just one metaphor to a new technology, we risk flattening it and overlooking both its benefits and dangers. (当我们试图为一项新技术仅赋予一个隐喻时,就有可能简化它并忽视其利弊。)”可推知,Weinstein对单一隐喻持否定态度。故选D项。

Choosing new technology for schools can be exciting, but poor planning often leads to wasted time and money. ____16____ Here are three that matter most.
Timeline for implementation (实施)
We often plan tech adoption on a school-year cycle, starting in August or September. But that timing can backfire. Instead, the best time to begin test cases is during the spring of the year before full implementation. ____17____ Schools should seek companies that support multi-year plans with fair prices, starting early to lower the risk.
Professional Learning
New contracts often include initial training. But what happens in later years with new teachers, deeper implementation, or refresher needs? ____18____ If two products offer similar features, knowing which one includes long-term professional learning — and which one charges extra — can make or break a decision.
Working with old systems
New tools don’t work alone. Schools already have systems in place, like learning management platforms and student databases. ____19____ Educators and students benefit when systems are connected and simple to use. ____20____
By carefully considering implementation timing, ongoing training needs, and system integration, schools can turn technology investments from potential wastes into lasting educational resources. Thoughtful planning in these three areas ensures new tools truly improve teaching and learning.
A. New tools must work well with those already in use.
B. Not every new tool needs to interact with existing ones.
C. However, poor system integration can waste teachers’ time.
D. But problems can arise if certain questions aren’t considered.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanised looms to microchips — would usurp (侵占) human jobs. For the most part, the humans have prevailed (获胜,盛行). Now, say some experts, with AI ubiquity on the horizon, the ____21____ is being realised: the robots really are coming for some jobs.
A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter of all the work ____22____ done by humans. Across the European Union and US, the report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to ____23____. And that could be dire, says Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. “It's not just that this would happen to ____24____, but it could be pretty systemic,” he says. “It could happen to a lot of people, potentially quite suddenly, potentially all at the same time. And that has ____25____ not just for those individuals, but for the whole economy.”
Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts ____26____ their warnings with a caveat: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve ____27____ human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. And moving into roles that center those skills could help ____28____ the chances of being replaced. “I think there are generally three ____29____ that are going to be relatively insulated (绝缘的,隔热的) in the foreseeable future,” says Ford. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely _____30_____: you’re not doing formulaic work or just rearranging things, but you're genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.”
The second safe zone, he continues, is jobs that require _____31_____ interpersonal relationships. He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. These are jobs, he says, “where you need a very deep _____32_____ of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships”. The third safe zone, says Ford, “are jobs that really require lots of mobility and dexterity and problem-solving ability in _____33_____ environments”. Many trade jobs – think electricians, plumbers, welders and the like – fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you're dealing with a new situation all the time,” he adds. “They are probably the hardest of anything to automate. In order to automate jobs like this, you would need a science fiction robot. You’d need Star Wars’s C-3PO.”
While humans will likely remain in jobs that fall within those categories, that doesn’t mean those professions are totally insulated from the ascent of AI. In fact, says Joanne Song McLaughlin, associate professor of labor economics at the University of Buffalo, US, most jobs, regardless of _____34_____, have aspects that are likely to be automated by the _____35_____. In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is good way to stave off (挡开,避开 ) job loss to AI. At least, for a while.
21. A. issue B. threat C. ambition D. target
22. A. temporarily B. potentially C. currently D. probably
23. A. automation B. revolution C. imagination D. information
24 A. individuals B. white collars C. manual workers D. designers

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了墨尔本蒙巴节的起源、核心精神以及发展历程,强调其作为城市文化符号的意义。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这个为期多日的活动吸引了成千上万的当地人和游客来到雅拉河畔,在这里人们可以享受各种各样的活动。空处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词the banks of the Yarra River作补充说明,先行词在从句中表示行为发生的地点,作地点状语,应用关系副词where作引导词。故填where。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:蒙巴节始于1955年,是墨尔本市议会发起的一个项目,旨在提振城市精神并凝聚社区居民。空处表示泛指,意为“一个项目”,应用不定冠词,且project的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:蒙巴节始于1955年,是墨尔本市议会发起的一个项目,旨在提振城市精神并凝聚社区居民。固定短语aim to do sth.意为“旨在做某事”,因此用lift的不定式形式,作宾语。故填to lift。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:二战后,墨尔本尤其渴望一场能振奋人心、团结多元族群的庆祝活动。空处修饰形容词eager,应用副词particularly,意为“尤其”。故填particularly。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由市议会与当地领袖共同创建的这场庆典,彰显了墨尔本丰富的文化,并为所有人提供娱乐。句子主干成分完整,空处为非谓语,create“创建”和the festival逻辑上是被动关系,因此用create的过去分词形式,作状语,且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填Created。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:由市议会与当地领袖共同创建的这场庆典,彰显了墨尔本丰富的文化,并为所有人提供娱乐。固定短语offer sth. to sb.意为“为某人提供某物”。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:“蒙巴”这个名字被选中以体现狂欢节生动而多彩的特质。空处作句子的谓语,choose“选择”这一行为发生在过去,时态应用一般过去时,choose和主语The name之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是单数名词,be动词应用was。故填was chosen。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:“蒙巴”这个名字被选中以体现狂欢节生动而多彩的特质。空处作修饰nature的定语,形容词colorful符合题意,意为“多彩的”。故填colorful。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从最初以简单游行和水上活动为特色的早期阶段,蒙巴节迅速壮大。空处是非谓语,作days的后置定语,feature“以……为特色”和days逻辑上是主动关系,因此用feature的现在分词形式。故填featuring。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:今天的蒙巴节已成为重要传统,象征着墨尔本几十年来的身份认同与发展。空处作over的宾语,结合上文“The Moomba Festival began in 1955”可知,此处指“几十年来的身份认同与发展”,因此用decade“十年”的复数形式。故填decades。

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。
Oliver and his father were doing their weekly shopping in the nearby supermarket when he noticed a leather wallet on the ground. After picking it up curiously, Oliver found a bookstore logo on the surface, which reminded him of his part-time-job experience working at a bookstore during college.
In addition, he found a large amount of cash and a business card with a phone number on it. Oliver and his father had been living a poor life all together although his father worked hard each day. Oliver had been struggling with unemployment while actively looking for a new job.
“What if I keep the wallet?” he said to himself, the thought of financial relief crossing his mind. “I could use the money to do something.” Yet, a wave of guilt washed over him. “But Father would be annoyed if I…” he thought, holding the wallet tightly. Noticing his hesitation, Oliver’s father asked what was wrong. He told his father about the wallet and his inner struggle. With a gentle but firm voice, his father reminded him of the values, “We shouldn’t keep what isn’t ours, Oliver.”
Oliver’s face turned red with a mix of emotions. “We have bills without steady income monthly, and this could be a turning point,” he responded. His father admitted their difficulties but encouraged him to think about the right thing to do, saying, “Returning it could bring you unexpected good luck.”
Finally, Oliver decided to call the number on the business card. The owner was an elderly man, who was very grateful to take his wallet back. He explained that the money inside was prepared for his son Noah, which was important for his new business-a bookstore he was planning to open. As Oliver walked away, he felt a sense of fulfillment (成就感) from doing the right thing, but he continued to worry about his own job search and financial situation.
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。
Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Oliver was appointed manager of Noah’s new bookstore soon .
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】示例:
Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later. It was from Noah, the elderly man’s son, who spoke in a happy and warm tone. “Your honesty really touched my father,” he said. “We are opening a bookstore next month and need someone we can trust to help run it.” Oliver’s heart beat fast — this was the chance he had been waiting for. When he said he didn’t have much experience, Noah laughed softly and replied, “Being a good person is more important.” Oliver felt very excited and agreed to meet for an interview. After hanging up, he remembered his father’s words about “good luck coming from doing the right thing”. Maybe life did reward those who made honest choices, even when it was difficult.
Oliver was appointed manager of Noah’s new bookstore soon. The job not only helped with his money problems but also made him love books again. Noah, who admired Oliver’s hard work, even offered him a share of the store’s profits. As Oliver watched customers look through the books he had carefully chosen, he realized how one honest decision had changed his future. His father, both proud and playful, would say, “I told you it would work out.” Years later, when Oliver talked to a young worker who was having a hard time, he shared Noah’s lesson: “Good character opens doors that skills alone cannot.” The wallet he had once thought about keeping had, in the end, given him more than he had ever expected.
