Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Have you ever fancied a tennis lesson from one of the world's greatest tennis players at your local court?
This dream came true for two young players,who got to train with 20yearold superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hologram(全息图)—a photographic recording of the image.While Sam Clague,14,and Diamond Paisley,12,were both in London,the British number one was in Abu Dhabi.
During the world's first holographic lesson,Ms Raducanu's avatar(头像) appeared to feed balls to the players and gave live feedback on their shots,like “that was fast and there was lots of topspin on that”.Even Sam said he thought she had been prerecorded at first until she spoke with him directly.
Their holographic training session offers a glimpse into how advancing technology could revolutionize tennis coaching,according to Dr. Ian Pearson.
Dr. Pearson thinks that mixed reality headsets will soon allow tennis players to feel they are playing in unusual virtual environments,like on a space station or the middle of a lake. Through 5G,the future of tennis will see increased interaction between real life tennis courts and the rich imagination we see in computer games—playing whenever,wherever and whoever you want.
Full sensory virtual reality could even place the viewer inside the tennis player's shoes in real time.Dr. Pearson said, “By 2030,with active skin technology,the playing styles and even the sensations of toplevel players could be captured,so that anyone could experience how it actually felt to play that game through full sensory virtual reality.”
Finally,sportswear made from smart materials could allow for a digital coach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide feedback on a player's form.Dr. Pearson said,“AIcontrolled suits made from smart materials,such as fabrics with sensors,can help players find the perfect stroke when hitting or returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memory of a flawless forehand.Using direct feedback from friendly virtual AI coaches,new players can develop and learn much more quickly.”
1.What did Ms Raducanu do in the first holographic lesson?
A.Give players real time guidance.
B.Require players to follow her shots.
C.Record coaching contents in advance.
D.Share her experiences through the hologram.
2.What can full sensory virtual reality make viewers do?
A.Increase their imagination of sports.
B.Take the place of toplevel players.
C.Experience the feeling of players on the spot.
D.Have a sense of playing in an unusual place.
3.What's Dr. Pearson's attitude towards virtual AI coaches?
A.Critical. B.Skeptical.
C.Cautious. D.Favorable.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.The future of coaching.
B.The threat from AI to coaches.
C.The first live coaching online.
D.The appearance of digital coaches.

Technology is developing by leaps and bounds.A device as small as a smartphone now has more processing power than rockets to the Moon once had.New tech brings many advantages,making our lives easier and opening up new opportunities.One piece of kit that's been really taking off recently is the drone.This pilotless mini aircraft,originally developed for aerial(航空的) photography and warfare,is now bringing us benefits closer to home.In the last few years,tech companies have promised us delivery drones—bringing goods to our doorsteps in a matter of minutes.While progress in developing them has been slow,drones are becoming more and more involved in our life.
Drones are helping to connect with and enhance the lives of people in remote locations.In the UK,the Royal Mail wants a fleet of 500 drones to help deliver the mail to farflung communities.Windracers,the company developing the drones,say they can fly in fog and produce 30% fewer emissions than comparable piloted aircraft.And in Coventry in the UK,construction has started on an air hub,which will act as a base for police and delivery drones.UrbanAir Port Limited is working with carmaker Hyundai on the miniairport,known as a skyport.
Drones could also play a part in improving the health of millions of people.In Zanzibar,for example,they're being used to spray wetlands against malaria.And writing for BBC Future website,Harriet Constable describes an incredible development project by the University of South Australia.The plan is for drones to eventually be able to survey populations for disease by reading the blood oxygen levels of humans from the air.They'll also be able to scan for other vital signs,like coughing and a high temperature.
It seems that the sky is the limit for what drone technology can achieve.The only thing that sometimes keeps it grounded is regulation.Writing for the BBC,Jessica Brown says,“If our skies are to become as crowded as our streets,airspace rules need updating to prevent accidents.” There are also related problems,such as noise pollution.
5.What was the primary use of the drone?
A.Exploring the Moon.
B.Survey and military.
C.Special delivery or express.
D.Transporting goods.
6.Which can replace the underlined word “hub” in Paragraph 2?
A.Centre. B.Branch.
C.Garage. D.Field.
7.What does Paragraph 3 imply?
A.Drones could take over doctors' duties in the future.
B.Drones can play a role in improving people's health.
C.Drones can cure patients suffering from various diseases like malaria.
D.Human beings will eventually overcome all kinds of stubborn diseases.
8.What does the author mean to do by quoting Jessica Brown?
A.Emphasize there is no limit for drones development.
B.Ignore the disadvantages the development of drones will bring.
C.Urge the rules of drones management need to be updated.
D.Prove the development of drones is beneficial without harming.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无人机技术给我们的生活带来的好处以及它的未来发展需要注意的问题。
5.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This pilotless mini aircraft,originally developed for aerial photography and warfare,is now bringing us benefits closer to home.(这种无人驾驶的微型飞机,最初是为航拍和战争而开发的,现在它给我们带来了更直接的好处。)”可知,无人机最初是用在测绘和军事领域。故选B。
6.A [解析]词义猜测题。画线词句后半部分“which will act as a base for police and delivery drones(它将作为警用和送货无人机的基地)”说明这是个基地、交通枢纽,从而推知画线词应为“枢纽,中心”的意思。故选A。
7.B [解析]主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Drones could also play a part in improving the health of millions of people.(无人机还可以在改善数百万人的健康方面发挥作用。)”可知,本段讲述了无人机可以在改善人们的健康方面发挥作用。故选B。
8.C [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It seems that the sky is the limit for what drone technology can achieve.The only thing that sometimes keeps it grounded is regulation.Writing for the BBC,Jessica Brown says,‘If our skies are to become as crowded as our streets,airspace rules need updating to prevent accidents.’(似乎无人机技术无所不能。有时唯一能让它停飞的就是监管。Jessica Brown在为BBC撰写的文章中写道:‘如果我们的天空变得和街道一样拥挤,就需要修订空域规则,以防止事故发生。’)”可知,作者引用Jessica Brown的话是为了督促修订无人机管理规则。故选C。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
We are often so attracted by the promises of modern digital life that we fail to notice its_danger.It's that feeling of losing control that we get a dozen times a day,from when we get distracted(分心) with our phones in a discussion to when we can't appreciate a private moment without sharing it with virtual audience.
In my first attempt to get control over my technology use,I set my phone to vibrate rather than ring.Soon after,another problem appeared.The act of continually checking the phone became a habit.I knew then that using only tips to permanently reform digital life is difficult.We should go past the notification settings(通知模式) on our devices or apps and consider the more essential topic of why we use so many apps in the first place.What all of us who are struggling with these challenges need is a technology usage philosophy,something that explains from the ground up which digital tools we allow into our lives,why,and under what conditions.
Cal Newport,a professor of computer science,defines Digital Minimalism(极简主义) as a “philosophy of technology use in which you focus your online time on a small number of carefully selected activities that strongly support the things you value,and then happily miss out on everything else”.
To do so,however,we cannot passively allow the tools and apps provided by the Internet age to control how we spend our time or how we feel.Instead,we must take steps to draw the positive aspects of these technologies and avoid the negative aspects.
1.What does “its_danger” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.Feeling depressed.
B.Getting distracted in a discussion.
C.Giving up private moments.
D.Losing control of the digital life.
2.Why does the author mention his own experiences?
A.To make a comparison.
B.To explain a phenomenon.
C.To bring in a better solution.
D.To clarify misunderstandings.
3.Which of the following will digital minimalists agree to?
A.Ignoring the side effect of digital tools.
B.Devoting the screen time to valuable things.
C.Spending more time selecting information.
D.Getting away from entertainment apps.
4.What's the text mainly about?
A.Reforms in life.
B.Technology challenges.
C.Apps and social media sites.
D.Technology usage philosophy.

(2025·云南模拟)In history,the nightshade plant was used to poison kings and emperors.So it's only fitting that a new tool used to poison AI art generators is named Nightshade.Created by Ben Zhao,a computer science professor at the University of Chicago,the tool is designed to help artists fight copyright infringement(侵权) by AI art generators that are trained using their artwork.
Nightshade allows artists to inject an invisible pixel(像素) into their artwork before they upload it online.If that artwork is then placed into an AI training set,it will infect the AI model and cause it to break.The original tool could be the saving grace of artists who are rightly concerned about AI infringing on their copyright.
So what happens when an image is injected with Nightshade? Based on tests by the developers,the poison data affects the AI models.It can trick the system into thinking an image of a cat is an image of a balloon or that cakes are a toaster.This results in unusable output;and,once the uploaded image is infected,it's very difficult to remove.This means that tech companies will need to invest quite heavily in finding the infected samples in order to remove them.
Currently,AI image generators do not pay artists for their work,and most do not offer an optout(退出) option.Recently,OpenAI began allowing artists to opt out of training sets for DALLE,but some artists have found the process quite difficult.Still,while some large companies have said that they'll obey optout requests,it's unclear if everyone will jump on board.This is what makes Zhao's efforts so appealing.
In addition to Nightshade,Zhao's team has also developed Glaze,which is designed to prevent AI from stealing an artist's style.It also works by injecting an invisible pixel into artwork.Eventually,the team wants to fold Nightshade into Glaze and allow artists to decide which tool they wish to use.Together,Zhao hopes that these tools will help favor the artist in the race to keep up with AI.
5.Why is the nightshade plant mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.To present the history of nightshade.
B.To introduce the background information.
C.To demonstrate different functions of nightshade.
D.To explain why the name was given to the tool.
6.How does Nightshade work?
A.By injecting pixels into artworks to fool AI generators.
B.By forcing AI generators to pay artists.
C.By banning AI generators' access to artworks.
D.By damaging the artworks uploaded.
7.What will Zhao's team do next?
A.Encourage more artists to use their inventions.
B.Integrate Nightshade into Glaze.
C.Push for the proper use of AI image generators.
D.Persuade AI generators to follow the opt out rules.
8.What's the main idea of the text?
A.A tool defends copyright by misleading AI generators.
B.New challenges arise from AI image generators.
C.AI image generators are violating artists' copyright.
D.Nightshade helps artists to create better works.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为Nightshade的软件,它能帮助设计师解决AI绘图的侵权问题。
5.D [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,本段提到茄属植物是为了解释为什么命名这一软件为Nightshade。故选D。
6.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Nightshade allows artists to inject an invisible pixel into their artwork before they upload it online.If that artwork is then placed into an AI training set,it will infect the AI model and cause it to break.”以及第三段中的“Based on tests by the developers,the poison data affects the AI models.It can trick the system into thinking an image of a cat is an image of a balloon or that cakes are a toaster.”可知,Nightshade将看不见的像素“注入”艺术作品中,受到像素“感染”的数据将会影响AI模型,它能够欺骗AI系统,使它把猫的图像误认为是气球,或把蛋糕的图像误认为是烤面包机。故选A。
7.B [解析]细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Eventually,the team wants to fold Nightshade into Glaze and allow artists to decide which tool they wish to use.”可知,研究团队最终希望将Nightshade和Glaze的功能融合在一起。故选B。
8.A [解析]主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了Nightshade这个软件如何通过在艺术作品中添加像素、“毒害”图像数据来误导AI绘图软件,从而解决AI绘图侵权的问题。故选A。
