Garth Miller,Alistair Carns,Anthony Stazicker and Kevin Godlington climbed the towering peak with help from the Austrian guiding company Furtenbach Adventures.The team also included five Sherpa guides and a cameraman.But these were not the deciding factors for their success.Climbers who want to climb Everest typically must spend weeks or months getting used to the thin air,but this team finished much faster.Their success came from months of home preparation:They slept in special low-oxygen tents to mimic (the effects of high mountains,and exercised while wearing equipment that reduced oxygen intake. Additionally,the climbers received a special treatment in Germany:breathing a small amount of xenon (mixed with oxygen for under an hour.Discovered in the 1800s,this gas has medical uses and may help the body handle thin air.The team hoped the xenon treatment might give them an extra boost,but they admitted it wasn't essential.However,the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (ICMF)argues there's no proof that xenon improves mountain performance,and wrong use can be risky. Some mountaineers oppose xenon gas.They see it as an unfair advantage."If you're promoting xenon as a performance enhancer,but you're not also willing to examine what that means for fairness and integrity in the mountains,it's a problem,"says Adrian Ballinger,an American mountain guide who leads Everest expeditions. Using xenon could let climbers spend less time and money preparing in Nepal.Nepalese tourism officials said they didn't know the British team planned to climb Everest without standard preparation."We'll discuss this and decide future policies,"stated tourism director Narayan Regmi.The climbers noted that Everest expeditions now accept practices once forbidden,like extra oxygen or helicopter flights to base camp.They argued their fast climb reduced risks and environmental harm. 4.What's the main reason for the four men's reaching the peak in just five days? A.They consulted a specific company. B.They had enough training at home. C.They hired experienced guides. D.They carried unusual oxygen. 英语试题第2页（共8页） 扫描全能王创建 5.What was the four climbers'purpose in using xenon? A.To fight against the ICMF's comments on it. B.To test its actual effectiveness on climbers.

B.Disapproving. C.Tolerant. D.Appreciative. C A recent study from Germany,published in Frontiers in Communication,reveals a surprising result about our daily AI(Artificial Intelligence)interactions. The study focused on the energy consumption of large language models.According to researchers,the most advanced AI models can emit (over 2,000 grams of CO2 equivalent (to answering just 500 questions.The study tested 14 different AI models, ranging from small 7-billion-parameter (systems to massive 72-billion-parameter ones. The top-performing Cogito model(70 billion parameters)achieved 84.9%accuracy but emitted 1,341 grams of CO2-nearly 50 times more than the smallest model.When AI models think out loud (showing their reasoning step-by-step like a student),energy use jumps 4 to 6 times higher than regular responses. On the other hand,when asked simple multiple-choice questions that should require just a one-letter answer,some reasoning models generated responses with over 14,000 words.One model produced a single answer that was 37,575 words long,longer than short novels!The verbosity comes with a cost.The study tracked "tokens",which are units of text that AI models process and generate.While basic models might use 37 tokens to answer a question,reasoning models averaged over 1,400 tokens per response,with some stretching into the thousands However,not all the findings were concerning.The research revealed that some models strike a middle ground between performance and environmental impact.The Qwen 2.5 model with 72 billion parameters achieved strong 77.6%accuracy while emitting just 427 grams of CO2 equivalent,less than one-third the emissions of comparable reasoning models. Generative AI now consumes 29.3 terawatt-hours annually-equal to Ireland's entire electricity use.Yet shockingly,only 2%of AI research papers mention carbon emissions."If users know the exact CO2 cost of their AI-generated outputs,such as casually turning themselves into an action figure,they might be more selective and thoughtful about when and how they use these technologies,"says researcher Maximilian Dauner.The bottom line:Our drive for smarter AI comes with an environmental price we can no longer brush aside. 英语试题第3页（共8页） 扫描全能王创建 8.What did researchers discover about AI models? A.The smarter,the more energy-hungry. B.The larger,the less energy consumption. C.Thinking out loud lowers CO2 output. D.Small models perform best in accuracy. 9.What does the underlined word "verbosity"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Performance. B.Lengthiness. C.Restriction. D.Difference. 10.Why does the author mention the Qwen 2.5 model? A.To compare energy use with Ireland's. B.To prove larger models waste energy. C.To highlight the top-performing model.

C.Its sustainability efforts are surely enough D.Its negative effect on the earth is ignored. D By the 2020s,only 40 percent of Barbie dolls were designed with permanently arched feet for wearing high heels（高跟鞋). In the 2023 Barbie movie,the title character,played by Margot Robbie,famously panics when her always-arched feet flatten.This scene inspired Australian researchers to investigate real Barbie dolls."When we were kids,Barbie only wore high heels,"says lead researcher Cylie Williams."Did the actual doll develop flat feet?"Luckily,Suzanne Wakefield,one of the members of the research team,had an extensive collection of 800 Barbie dolls.That helped guide the group's search through online lists to track Barbie's foot position over time. They examined the feet of 2,750 dolls released between 1959 and 2024 with a custom- made angle-measuring tool to categorize their feet as either arched or flat.They also looked at the diversity of each doll,whether she was employed and when the doll was made. Findings showed a dramatic shift.Early Barbies universally featured arched feet.As Barbie expanded into diverse careers,her feet adapted.By the 2020s,only 40%had arched feet.Notably,career-focused dolls were much more likely to have flat feet than fashion-fooused versions."Originally,Barbie attended operas or balls,"explained Wakefield."Now ahe skis and scuba dives-activities needing practical footwear." To maintain independence,the researchers didn't contact toy company Mattel over the course of their study to ask whether the arch of the doll's feet was connected to these factors. However,in a statement to the New York Times,the company confirmed this intentional design shift,stating Barbie's feet now support"brave steps forward"with diverse footwear. 英语试题第4页（共8页） 扫描全能王创建 As women entered more professions,workplace dress codes became less rigid about heels. Despite the often negative reputation of high heels for health,the researchers write that women should be allowed to select their own footwear"based on task demands",slipping their feet into whatever shoes they like best. 12.What inspired Cylie Williams to research Barbie? A.A personal collection. B.The plot of a film. C.His impression on Barbie. D.Margot Robbie's anxiety. 13.What has Barbie reflected over time? A.Changes in women's social roles. B.Women's more conservative ideas C.Society's picky demands on women. D.Expectations for women's looks. 14.Why does the author mention Mattel's statement? A.To confirm the research findings. B.To criticize its traditional beliefs. C.To advocate women's liberation. D.To stress the company's innovation. 15.What's the best title for the text? A.Australian Scientists Studied Barbie B.Flat Feet Are Making Barbie Healthier C.Barbie's Feet Are Getting Less Arched D.Mattel Bravely Changed Barbie's Shoes 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。 Tom Brown's hands move fast,tying loose shoelaces (as the morning bell rings.
