But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California; this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades. Pourazar’s lifelong passion for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993, Pourazar attended a performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and was instantly captured. He went backstage right after the show and made friends with the Chinese performers. With their help, Pourazar was enrolled at an opera school. Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and. moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art. Starting as ar r adult was not easy, as Peking Opera is a complex mixture of vocal performance, mime, martial arts, dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and. songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has devoted himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences. He has also been teaching courses and organizing workshops in the United-States, bringing Peking Opera to curious Western learners. To better connect with. Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into-Peking Opera. In recognition of his contributions, Pourazar received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government in 2014. “Cultural exchange should be reciprocal. I aim to blend my expertise m opera with my multicultural background to create enriching artistic experiences for the audiences,” said Pourazar. 4. What is the author’s intention of writing paragraph 1? A. To prove Ghaffar Pourazar’s achievement. B. To introduce a cultural influence on an individual. C. To explain the cultural significance of Sun Wukong. D. To highlight the fascination of ancient Chinese tales. 5. What do we know about Pourazar’s experience of learning Peking Opera? A. Language was a significant barrier for him. B. The performers he met backstage taught him the art. C. Queen Elizabeth made him interested in Peking Opera. D. His enthusiasm for Peking Opera started at an early age. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. His great love for Peking Opera. B. His amazing performance on stage. C. His belief in performing Peking Opera. D. His contribution to spreading Peking Opera. 7. Which of the following words best describe Pourazar? A. Persistent and gentle. B. Humorous and charming. C. Traditional and cautious. D. Determined and innovative. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ghaffar Pourazar与京剧的深厚渊源及传播贡献。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California; this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades.(一个备受国际赞誉的文化作品向全球观众介绍了孙悟空这一引人入胜的故事。但是，对于居住在加利福尼亚的英美双重国籍公民加法尔·普拉扎尔而言，这位传奇人物几十年来一直是他身份认同的一部分)”可知，文章先是说孙悟空这一文化形象在世界范围内的影响，接着指出对Pourazar来说，这个传奇人物已经成为他身份的一部分数十年了。由此可知，作者写第一段的意图是介绍一种文化对一个人的影响。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and. songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said.(除了身体上的要求外，掌握中文还带来了另一个问题。普拉扎尔说：“无论我是在吃饭、洗澡、走路，甚至是在做梦，我都在不断地背诵台词和歌曲。”)”可知，语言对Pourazar来说是一个很大的障碍。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has devoted himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences.(普拉扎尔认为，伟大的艺术超越语言界限。多年来，他致力于向国际观众介绍京剧和孙悟空这一角色)”以及全段可知，本段讲述了多年来他致力于向国际观众介绍京剧和孙悟空，在美国授课、组织研习班，还改编经典剧目，这些都体现了他对传播京剧所做的贡献。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art.(仅仅三个月后，他就告别了英国的生活，搬到北京，去学习这门艺术中的武打角色)”以及第三段他克服语言等困难学习京剧，能看出他很有决心；根据第四段的“To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera.(为了更好地与西方观众和学习者建立联系，他将《孙悟空：大闹天宫》等经典剧目改编成英文版，还把莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》改编成京剧)” 可知，他改编经典剧目，体现了他的创新。所有Pourazar既有决心又有创新精神。故选D。 C I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity. It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day. I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done? Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits. In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices. 8 Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a common phenomenon. D. To share a personal experience. 9. What is the author’s core argument about productivity? A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction. B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements. C. Energy management matters more than time management. D. Strict time management systems are essential for success. 10. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic? A. It wastes time that could be used for work. B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations. C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone. D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life. 11. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work. B. The relationship between energy and creativity. C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management. D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章由朋友咨询时间管理技巧引出话题，论述了精力管理比时间管理更重要，并强调要关注和合理管理精力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.(我最近和一位被工作压得喘不过气来的朋友聊了聊。她问我关于时间管理有什么建议。这个问题让我很惊讶。我从来没觉得自己是个有出色时间管理能力的人，主要是因为我倾向于避免严格的效率体系，认为它们会限制创造力)”可知，作者先提及朋友咨询时间管理技巧，随后引出自己对精力管理的看法，所以提及朋友是为了引出文章主题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy.(直到我们分开我才意识到。我不关注时间管理，而是关注精力管理。在某个时候，我了解到做一件事所花费的时间相对于精力来说是次要的)”可知，作者认为精力管理比时间管理更重要。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, ‘Life force gets trapped in frustration.’ So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits.(他说懊恼是一种容易让人上瘾的情绪，因为它会让我们感到压力。哈德森说：‘生命力被困在了懊恼之中。’所以我在懊恼上花费的大量精力，正困住本可以用于更有用、更有成效、更有创造性追求的生命力)”可知，懊恼会困住本可以用于更有用、更有成效、更有创造性追求的生命力，会阻止人们追求生活中有意义的事情。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices.(我们应该注意我们的精力在一天中是如何变化的，并学习如何创造、使用和保存它。开始这样思考并不难。我们只需要更加了解自己并谨慎做出选择)”可推知，接下来可能会举例说明如何通过自我认知和选择来管理精力。故选D项。 D Debate about artificial intelligence (AI) tends to focus on its potential dangers: algorithmic bias (算法偏见) and discrimination, the mass destruction of jobs and even, some say, the extinction of humanity. However, others are focusing on the potential rewards. Luminaries in the field such as Demis Hassabis and Yann LeCun believe that AI can turbocharge scientific progress and lead to a golden age of discovery. Could they be right? Such claims are worth examining, and may provide a useful counterbalance to fears about large-scale unemployment and killer robots. Many previous technologies have, of course, been falsely hailed as panaceas (万灵药). But the mechanism by which AI will supposedly solve the world’s problems has a stronger historical basis. In the 17th century microscopes and telescopes opened up new vistas of discovery and encouraged researchers to favor their own observations over the received wisdom of antiquity (古代), while the introduction of scientific journals gave them new ways to share and publicize their findings. Then, starting in the late 19th century, the establishment of research laboratories, which brought together ideas, people and materials on an industrial scale, gave rise to further innovations. From the mid-20th century, computers in turn enabled new forms of science based on simulation and modelling. All this is to be welcomed. But the journal and the laboratory went further still: they altered scientific practice itself and unlocked more powerful means of making discoveries, by allowing people and ideas to mingle in new ways and on a larger scale. AI, too, has the potential to set off such a transformation. Two areas in particular look promising. The first is “literature-based discovery” (LBD), which involves analyzing existing scientific literature, using ChatGPT-style language analysis, to look for new hypotheses, connections or ideas that humans may have missed. The second area is “robot scientists”. These are robotic systems that use AI to form new hypotheses, based on analysis of existing data and literature, and then test those hypotheses by performing hundreds or thousands of experiments, in fields including systems biology and materials science. Unlike human scientists, robots are less attached to previous results, less driven by bias—and, crucially, easy to replicate. They could scale up experimental research, develop unexpected theories and explore avenues that human investigators might not have considered. The idea is therefore feasible. But the main barrier is sociological: it can happen only if human scientists are willing and able to use such tools. Governments could help by pressing for greater use of common standards to allow AI systems to exchange and interpret laboratory results and other data. They could also fund more research into the integration of AI smarts with laboratory robotics, and into forms of AI beyond those being pursued in the private sector. Less fashionable forms of AI, such as model-based machine learning, may be better suited to scientific tasks such as forming hypotheses. 12. Regarding Demis and Yann’s viewpoint, the author is likely to be ______. A. supportive B. puzzled C. unconcerned D. doubtful 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. LBD focuses on testing the reliability of ever-made hypotheses. B. Resistance to AI prevents the transformation of scientific practice. C. Robot scientists form hypotheses without considering previous studies. D. Both journals and labs need adjustments in promoting scientific findings. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Official standards have facilitated the exchange of data. B. Performing scientific tasks relies on government funding. C. Less popular AI forms might be worth paying attention to. D. The application of AI in public sector hasn’t been launched. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Transforming Science. How Can AI Help? B. Making Breakthroughs. What Is AI’s Strength? C. Reshaping History. How May AI Develop Further? D. Redefining Discovery. How Can AI Overcome Its Weakness? 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能可以改变科学实践，以及人工智能是如何帮助改变科学实践的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Luminaries in the field such as Demis Hassabis and Yann LeCun believe that AI can turbocharge scientific progress and lead to a golden age of discovery.(Demis Hassabis和Yann LeCun等该领域的杰出人物相信人工智能可以推动科学进步并引领发现的黄金时代)”和第二段中“Such claims are worth examining, and may provide a useful counterbalance to fears about large-scale unemployment and killer robots. Many previous technologies have, of course, been falsely hailed as panaceas (万灵药). But the mechanism by which AI will supposedly solve the world’s problems has a stronger historical basis.(这些说法值得研究，并且可能为人们对大规模失业和杀手机器人的担忧提供有用的平衡。当然，许多以前的技术被错误地誉为万灵药。但人工智能解决世界问题的机制有着更强有力的历史基础)”可知，作者认为Demis和Yann的观点值得研究，且认为人工智能解决世界问题的机制有着更强有力的历史基础。由此推知，作者可能支持Demis和Yann的观点——人工智能可以推动科学进步并引领发现的黄金时代。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But the journal and the laboratory went further still: they altered scientific practice itself and unlocked more powerful means of making discoveries, by allowing people and ideas to mingle in new ways and on a larger scale. AI, too, has the potential to set off such a transformation.(但该杂志和实验室走得更远：它们改变了科学实践本身，并通过允许人和思想以新的方式和更大规模的融合，开启了更强大的发现手段。人工智能也有可能引发这样的转变)”可知，人工智能能引起科学实践的改变。由此推知，对人工智能的抵制阻碍科学实践的转变。故选B。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Less fashionable forms of AI, such as model-based machine learning, may be better suited to scientific tasks such as forming hypotheses.(如基于模型的机器学习这种不太流行的人工智能形式，可能更适合科学任务，例如形成假设)”可知，不太流行的人工智能形式，可能更适合科学任务。由此推知，不太流行的人工智能形式可能值得关注。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第一段到第四段，尤其是第一段中“Luminaries in the field such as Demis Hassabis and Yann LeCun believe that AI can turbocharge scientific progress and lead to a golden age of discovery.(Demis Hassabis和 Yann LeCun等该领域的杰出人物相信人工智能可以推动科学进步并引领发现的黄金时代) ”和第四段中“AI, too, has the potential to set off such a transformation.(人工智能也有可能引发这样的转变)”可知，前四段指出人工智能可以实现科学时间的转变，接着根据第五段中“Two areas in particular look promising.(有两个领域看起来尤其有希望)”可知，第五段介绍了人工智能从两个领域改变科学实践，最后一段总结人工智能改变科学实践是可行的。由此可知，文章主要介绍了人工智能是如何帮助改变科学的。A项“改变科学。人工智能有何帮助？”适合作文章标题。故选A。 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。 Are you spending your holidays sitting around?

After the last class of the day, I walked across the campus with my close classmate, Tom. As we neared a quiet corner beside the old library, a series of faint meowing sounds (猫叫声) pierced the stillness. Our curiosity piqued, we exchanged a glance and immediately traced the source of the noise. Behind a messy stack of old boxes, we discovered a minuscule, emaciated cat. Its once-soft fur was now caked with dirt, and its small body trembled ever so slightly, a clear indication that it had suffered from days of hunger and cold. A profound sense of pity welled up within us. Tom bent down slowly, his hand extended gently, his voice soft as he tried to lead the frightened animal out. At first, the cat was frightened, its wide-eyed gaze fixed on us in fear. But gradually, after a few moments of cautious sniffing (嗅), it timidly stepped out from its hiding spot. We knew we couldn’t abandon this helpless creature. Tom proposed taking it to the school infirmary (医务室), believing the school doctor might be able to assess its condition. I nodded in instant agreement, yet a tinge of worry crept in as we pondered how the school authorities would respond to us bringing a cat into the infirmary. Just at that moment, Lily, a classmate with a kind heart and a skill of animal care, happened to pass by. The moment she laid eyes on the pitiful cat in our arms, her expression softened. She informed us that she had experience in dealing with stray (走失的) animals and eagerly offered her assistance. With Lily on board, our determination to save the cat grew tenfold. We held the cat gently and made our way towards the infirmary, filled with hope and a touch of nervousness. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. However, after listening to our earnest plea and the cat’s tragic situation, her expression softened. She quickly got to work, conducting a thorough examination. She told us the cat was severely malnourished and had a respiratory infection. While treating the cat, she patiently explained to us the care it needed. We listened intently, absorbing every word, grateful for her expertise. With the doctor’s professional treatment, the cat’s breathing gradually became more stable, and we felt a glimmer of hope. Paragraph 2: Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. We divided the tasks among us. I was in charge of bringing fresh food and water every morning, Tom cleaned the cat’s temporary shelter, and Lily monitored its health closely. As the days passed, the cat’s condition improved remarkably. Its fur became smoother, and its eyes sparkled with newfound vitality. It even started to play with a small ball we brought for it. This experience not only saved a life but also strengthened the bond between us classmates. We realized that with unity and compassion, we could make a difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和同学们如何发现并救助一只流浪小猫的过程，以及这一经历给他们带来的感悟和成长。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“到达医务室后，校医用惊讶的眼神迎接了我们。”以及第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，我们轮流照顾这只小猫。”可知，第一段可描写了解了情况后，校医救治了小猫。 ②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，我们轮流照顾这只小猫。”可知，第二段可描写作者和同学们轮流照顾小猫，并深有感触。 2.续写线索：校医非常惊讶地看着小猫——了解了情况后， 校医立刻开始检查猫的健康状况——校医发现小猫营养不良，并告知了作者如何照顾小猫——于是，作者和同学们开始轮流照顾小猫——他们分工明确，密切关注小猫的情况——随着时间的推移，小猫的情况越来越好，而作者和同学们之间的情谊也日益密切 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/make an explanation ②负责：be in charge of/take charge of ③提高：improve/enhance 情绪类 ①专心地：intently/closely/attentively ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】She told us the cat was severely malnourished and had a respiratory infection.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】As the days passed, the cat’s condition improved remarkably.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 观山湖区第一高级中学高二期末质量检测 英语 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California; this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades. Pourazar’s lifelong passion for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993, Pourazar attended a performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and was instantly captured. He went backstage right after the show and made friends with the Chinese performers. With their help, Pourazar was enrolled at an opera school. Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and. moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art. Starting as ar r adult was not easy, as Peking Opera is a complex mixture of vocal performance, mime, martial arts, dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and. songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has devoted himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences. He has also been teaching courses and organizing workshops in the United-States, bringing Peking Opera to curious Western learners. To better connect with. Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into-Peking Opera. In recognition of his contributions, Pourazar received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government in 2014. “Cultural exchange should be reciprocal. I aim to blend my expertise m opera with my multicultural background to create enriching artistic experiences for the audiences,” said Pourazar. 4. What is the author’s intention of writing paragraph 1? A. To prove Ghaffar Pourazar’s achievement. B. To introduce a cultural influence on an individual. C. To explain the cultural significance of Sun Wukong. D. To highlight the fascination of ancient Chinese tales. 5. What do we know about Pourazar’s experience of learning Peking Opera? A. Language was a significant barrier for him. B The performers he met backstage taught him the art. C. Queen Elizabeth made him interested in Peking Opera. D His enthusiasm for Peking Opera started at an early age. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. His great love for Peking Opera. B. His amazing performance on stage. C. His belief in performing Peking Opera. D. His contribution to spreading Peking Opera. 7. Which of the following words best describe Pourazar? A. Persistent and gentle. B. Humorous and charming. C. Traditional and cautious. D. Determined and innovative. C I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity. It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day. I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done? Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits. In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices. 8. Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a common phenomenon. D. To share a personal experience. 9. What is the author’s core argument about productivity? A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction. B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements. C. Energy management matters more than time management. D. Strict time management systems are essential for success. 10. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic? A. It wastes time that could be used for work. B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations. C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone. D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life. 11. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work. B. The relationship between energy and creativity. C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management. D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices. D Debate about artificial intelligence (AI) tends to focus on its potential dangers: algorithmic bias (算法偏见) and discrimination, the mass destruction of jobs and even, some say, the extinction of humanity. However, others are focusing on the potential rewards. Luminaries in the field such as Demis Hassabis and Yann LeCun believe that AI can turbocharge scientific progress and lead to a golden age of discovery. Could they be right? Such claims are worth examining, and may provide a useful counterbalance to fears about large-scale unemployment and killer robots. Many previous technologies have, of course, been falsely hailed as panaceas (万灵药). But the mechanism by which AI will supposedly solve the world’s problems has a stronger historical basis. In the 17th century microscopes and telescopes opened up new vistas of discovery and encouraged researchers to favor their own observations over the received wisdom of antiquity (古代), while the introduction of scientific journals gave them new ways to share and publicize their findings. Then, starting in the late 19th century, the establishment of research laboratories, which brought together ideas, people and materials on an industrial scale, gave rise to further innovations. From the mid-20th century, computers in turn enabled new forms of science based on simulation and modelling. All this is to be welcomed. But the journal and the laboratory went further still: they altered scientific practice itself and unlocked more powerful means of making discoveries, by allowing people and ideas to mingle in new ways and on a larger scale. AI, too, has the potential to set off such a transformation. Two areas in particular look promising. The first is “literature-based discovery” (LBD), which involves analyzing existing scientific literature, using ChatGPT-style language analysis, to look for new hypotheses, connections or ideas that humans may have missed. The second area is “robot scientists”. These are robotic systems that use AI to form new hypotheses, based on analysis of existing data and literature, and then test those hypotheses by performing hundreds or thousands of experiments, in fields including systems biology and materials science. Unlike human scientists, robots are less attached to previous results, less driven by bias—and, crucially, easy to replicate. They could scale up experimental research, develop unexpected theories and explore avenues that human investigators might not have considered. The idea is therefore feasible. But the main barrier is sociological: it can happen only if human scientists are willing and able to use such tools. Governments could help by pressing for greater use of common standards to allow AI systems to exchange and interpret laboratory results and other data. They could also fund more research into the integration of AI smarts with laboratory robotics, and into forms of AI beyond those being pursued in the private sector. Less fashionable forms of AI, such as model-based machine learning, may be better suited to scientific tasks such as forming hypotheses. 12.

After the last class of the day, I walked across the campus with my close classmate, Tom. As we neared a quiet corner beside the old library, a series of faint meowing sounds (猫叫声) pierced the stillness. Our curiosity piqued, we exchanged a glance and immediately traced the source of the noise. Behind a messy stack of old boxes, we discovered a minuscule, emaciated cat. Its once-soft fur was now caked with dirt, and its small body trembled ever so slightly, a clear indication that it had suffered from days of hunger and cold. A profound sense of pity welled up within us. Tom bent down slowly, his hand extended gently, his voice soft as he tried to lead the frightened animal out. At first, the cat was frightened, its wide-eyed gaze fixed on us in fear. But gradually, after a few moments of cautious sniffing (嗅), it timidly stepped out from its hiding spot. We knew we couldn’t abandon this helpless creature. Tom proposed taking it to the school infirmary (医务室), believing the school doctor might be able to assess its condition. I nodded in instant agreement, yet a tinge of worry crept in as we pondered how the school authorities would respond to us bringing a cat into the infirmary. Just at that moment, Lily, a classmate with a kind heart and a skill of animal care, happened to pass by. The moment she laid eyes on the pitiful cat in our arms, her expression softened. She informed us that she had experience in dealing with stray (走失的) animals and eagerly offered her assistance. With Lily on board, our determination to save the cat grew tenfold. We held the cat gently and made our way towards the infirmary, filled with hope and a touch of nervousness. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 On reaching the infirmary, the school doctor greeted us with a surprised look. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few days, we took turns to take care of the cat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
