When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says.
Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing.
Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”
The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”
Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The Inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says.
4. What change does Farr bring to her school?
A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments.
C. Upgraded equipment. D. Diverse outdoor games.
5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning?
A. To reduce teachers’ workload.
B. To enhance the school’s reputation.
C. To improve students’ academic results.
D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth.
6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement?
A. More focused. B. More energetic.
C. More self-centred. D. More courageous.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach?
A. Its theory. B. Its challenge.
C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述牛津某小学的Farr推行游戏化学习,调整学习环境,契合儿童发展需求,提升学生专注力,还获教育检查认可,其方法可推广。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. (该校五年级9到10岁的孩子很难在狭小的空间里静坐,于是她移走了所有的家具。)”以及“Children now choose where and how to learn. (现在孩子们可以选择在哪里以及如何学习。)”可知,Farr通过移除家具,让学生能自主选择学习的地点和方式,为学生创造了灵活的学习环境。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it? (如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展,我们为什么要这么做呢?)”可知,Farr推行游戏化学习的核心考量是是否符合儿童健康发展需求,其目的是促进孩子的健康和成长。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.(曾经难以集中注意力的班级,现在变得安静且专注。)”以及“A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” (一位老师指出:“他们的自我调节能力有了很大提高。他们能更快地静下心来学习。”)”可知,新的座位安排(移除家具,让学生自主选择学习地点)让学生变得更专注。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play. (我们有神经科学证据表明,儿童通过游戏学习。)”、“In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The Inspector really understood our play-based learning.” (今年6月,该校顺利通过了英国教育标准局的检查。“检查员非常理解我们的游戏化学习。”)”以及“Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. (Farr表示,她的方法可以推广。“孩子们的投入程度让我震惊,太了不起了,”她说。)”可知,该段通过神经科学依据、学校通过检查的结果以及学生投入度高的表现,体现了Farr推行的游戏化学习方法的有效性。故选D项。
C
Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar when Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.
8. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1?
A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance.
C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines.
9 How does “digital microscope” function in the research?
A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs.
C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude?
A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought.
C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning.
11. Which of the following titles best suits this text?
A. Why AI Still gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic
C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章借Claude的例子,介绍用“数字显微镜”探究AI思维,发现其有前瞻性等特点,也存在思维与表述不符等问题,旨在了解AI想法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.(想象你正在写一首诗,在开始下一行之前必须把韵脚配对。事实证明,人工智能也会做类似的事情。当大语言模型Claude得到第一行“he saw a carrot and had to grab it”时,它几乎会立即想到像“rabbit”这样的词,并写出下一句,使其以合适的韵脚结尾)”可知,作者通过这个例子表明AI可以提前规划句子,以实现押韵。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks.(这个工具,一个“数字显微镜”,能让科学家观察当人工智能在处理不同任务时,其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活)”可知,“数字显微镜”通过追踪AI的思维活动来发挥作用。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Worse still, ask a leading question— suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.(更糟糕的是,提出一个诱导性问题 —— 暗示答案“可能是4”,它会特意添加数字,最终使它认同这个问题,即使这个暗示是错误的)”可知,这表明Claude可能会编造内容来符合错误的引导。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity.(这种前瞻性是出乎意料的。开发Claude的实验室 Anthropic 的科学家们构建了一个工具,他们发现了一些意想不到的复杂性。)”、第三段“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural network light up when it’s working on different tasks.(这个工具,一个“数字显微镜”,让科学家们可以观察到当AI在处理不同任务时,其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活)”以及最后一段“But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.(但是能够洞察一个大语言模型的思维,为我们提供了关于如何在未来阻止它做同样事情的线索。毕竟,目标不是要进行脑部手术,而是要知道它在想什么)”可知,文章主要讲述了通过“数字显微镜”对大型语言模型Claude 进行研究,发现AI在某些方面有更深的理解,但在推理时存在说一套做一套的情况,而能够洞察 LLM 的思维为未来如何阻止它出现这种情况提供了线索,整体围绕着对AI思维的探究展开。所以C项“Looking Inside AI’s Mind(洞察人工智能的思维)”最适合作为标题。故选C。
D
Can you tell fact from fiction online? In a digital world, few questions are more challenging than fighting misinformation. As an education researcher and former high school history teacher, I know that history class can stimulate critical thinking — but only if teachers and schools understand what it really means.
Some might consider critical thinking an ability that teachers can encourage. Or they might be referring to specific skills — for instance, that students should learn a set of steps to take to assess information online. Cognitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind of reasoning that involves problem-solving and making sound judgments. It can be learned, but it relies on specific content knowledge.
Since context is key to critical thinking, learning to analyze information about current events likely requires knowledge about politics and history, as well as practice at tracing sources. Fortunately, that is what social studies classes are for.
Social studies researchers often describe this kind of critical thinking as “historical thinking”: a way to evaluate evidence about the past and assess its reliability. In social studies classrooms students can make relatively quick progress on some of the surface features of historical thinking, such as learning to check a text’s date and author.
Social studies classrooms can also build what researchers call “civic online reasoning.” Fact-checking is complex. It is not enough to tell young people that they should be careful online, or to trust sites that end in “.org” instead of “.com.” Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues.
Therefore the solution lies not in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditional social studies education that combines background knowledge with analytical capabilities. Only then can we effectively prepare students to distinguish truth from fiction in our digital world.
12. How does the writer view critical thinking?
A. It naturally develops over time.
B. It is a kind of step-by-step learning.
C. It is a form of content-based reasoning.
D. It improves with teachers’ encouragement.
13. Why can social studies encourage critical thinking?
A. They focus on past evidence.
B. They question general principles.
C. They develop fact-checking skills.
D. They provide trustworthy websites.
14. Which can be considered “civic online reasoning” according to the text?
A. Trusting online news without tracing sources.
B. Assessing public matters via fact-checking.
C. Dismissing social media as unreliable.
D. Employing AI to spread news stories.
15. What solution does the author suggest?
A. Applying traditional social skills.
B. Highlighting historical knowledge.
C. Emphasizing social studies learning.
D. Teaching communication techniques.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要探讨了在网络数字时代辨别信息真伪的挑战,指出批判性思维对于应对这一挑战的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Cognitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind of reasoning that involves problem-solving and making sound judgments. It can be learned, but it relies on specific content knowledge. (认知科学家将批判性思维视为一种特定的推理方式,涉及解决问题和做出合理判断。它可以被学习,但依赖于特定的内容知识。)”可知,作者认同认知科学家的观点,认为批判性思维是依赖特定内容知识的推理形式。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Social studies classrooms can also build what researchers call “civic online reasoning.” Fact-checking is complex. It is not enough to tell young people that they should be careful online, or to trust sites that end in “.org” instead of “.com.” Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues. (社会科课堂还能培养研究人员所说的“公民网络思辨能力”。事实核查并非易事:仅仅告诉年轻人在网络上要谨慎,或是让他们相信以“.org” 结尾的网站而非“.com”结尾的网站,这些做法远远不够。与学习网络媒体相关的通用原则不同,公民网络思辨能力教授给学生的,是评估政治和社会议题相关信息的具体技能。)”可知,社会研究课程能培养学生的事实核查技能,进而促进批判性思维。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues. (公民在线推理能力不是让学生学习网络媒体的一般原则,而是教给他们评估政治和社会问题相关信息的特定技能。)”可知,公民在线推理能力是评估政治、社会等公共事务相关信息的技能,且需结合事实核查。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, the solution lies not in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditional social studies education that combines background knowledge with analytical capabilities. (因此,解决办法不在于将批判性思维作为一项独立技能来教授,而在于维护和加强传统的社会研究教育,这种教育将背景知识与分析能力相结合。)”可知,作者建议强调社会研究课程的学习。故选C项。

Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. ____16____ Here are some tips from leading art collectors on how to develop your taste.
One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. ____17____
The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settle s in me—my throat, my stomach. ____18____”said Shaokao Cheng, co-founder of a luxury design company. As he grew his personal collection, Cheng approached art not for its potential financial gain, but rather how it makes him feel.
____19____ Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood.
Study the art market, but not too closely. ____20____ While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators.
A. Artists are the lifeblood of the art world.
B. Then in time, you will find something that you love.
C. These provide a wealth of places to engage with art.
D. I always go to museums and galleries to see art exhibitions.
E. That physical response shows more than any trend ever could.
F. Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks.
G. Online markets have overturned how people appreciate and buy art.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. E 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕培养艺术品味展开,给出多接触艺术、关注身体感受、联结艺术家、理性看待市场等建议,助读者建立个人艺术品味。
【16题详解】
由上文“There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media.(有无数的商业画廊、博物馆,以及像社交媒体这样越来越容易接触到的平台。)”可知,前文列举了接触艺术的多种渠道,C项“These provide a wealth of places to engage with art.(这些为接触艺术提供了丰富的途径。)”符合语境,These指代前文提到的“galleries, museums, social media”,“provide a wealth of places to engage with art”总结了这些渠道的价值,衔接下文“培养艺术品味的建议”。故选C项。
【17题详解】
由上文“You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is.(你会学会欣赏品质,也会练就辨别优秀艺术的眼光。)”可知,前文强调多接触艺术的收获。B项“Then in time, you will find something that you love.(久而久之,你会找到自己喜爱的艺术作品。)”符合语境,“Then in time”承接前文“多接触艺术”的过程,“find something that you love”是“学会欣赏品质、辨别优秀艺术”后的自然结果,逻辑连贯。故选B项。
【18题详解】
由上文“I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settles in me—my throat, my stomach.(我会静下心来感受这件作品给我的身体带来的反应 —— 比如喉咙、胃部的感受。)”可知,前文描述了欣赏艺术作品的身体反应。E项“That physical response shows more than any trend ever could.(这种身体反应比任何潮流都更能说明问题。)”符合语境,“That physical response”指代前文“how it settles in me—my throat, my stomach”,“shows more than any trend ever could” 强调身体反应对判断艺术的重要性,呼应下文“艺术品味不止于视觉欣赏”的观点。故选E项。
【19题详解】
由下文“Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood.(了解他们和他们的故事可以扩展你作为收藏家和爱好者的体验。直接与艺术家接触,与作品建立了个人联系,使作品不仅被看到,而且被理解。)”可知,本段围绕“艺术家”展开,空格处需点明主题。A项“Artists are the lifeblood of the art world.(艺术家是艺术界的命脉。)”符合语境,“Artists”是下文them的指代对象,“lifeblood of the art world”强调艺术家的重要性,引出下文“了解艺术家、与艺术家接触”的建议。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由上文“Study the art market, but not too closely.(研究艺术市场,但不要过于深入。)”和下文“While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators.(虽然了解市场动态可能会有所帮助,但艺术欣赏最有益的方面来自与艺术品及其创作者的真正个人联系。)”可知,此处说明不要深入研究艺术市场,强调个人联结的重要性。F项“Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks.(市场研究不如与艺术作品的个人联结重要。)”符合语境,“Market research is secondary”呼应“study the art market, but not too closely”,“personal connection with artworks”衔接下 “the most rewarding aspects come from genuine personal connections”,逻辑清晰。故选F项。

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。
An Unexpected Angel
In the extreme heat I watched an elderly woman struggle with bags of groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off.
She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911.
With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake.” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I saw the boy waving something.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I saw the boy waving something. Squinting through the rearview mirror, I realized it was my cell phone — its familiar case glinting in the dim streetlight. My heart skipped a beat, and I slowly pulled over, still on edge. He stopped his motorcycle beside me, holding out the phone with a gentle smile. “The old lady left this in my apartment building,” he said softly. “I saw it was yours and rushed to catch up. Didn’t mean to scare you.” His words melted my panic, and I felt a rush of embarrassment for judging him so quickly.
I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. I fumbled in my wallet, but he shook his head firmly. “No need, ma’am. I just didn’t want you to worry about your phone.” His kindness made my cheeks burn. Instead, I asked for his name — Liam — and told him I’d bring him a homemade meal the next day. The next afternoon, I dropped off a plate of lasagna at his apartment. He thanked me with a big grin, and we chatted for a few minutes. That day, I learned never to judge someone by their appearance; sometimes, angels wear leather jackets and ride motorcycles.
【解析】

When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says.
Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing.
Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”
The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”
Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The Inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says.
4. What change does Farr bring to her school?
A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments.
C. Upgraded equipment. D. Diverse outdoor games.
5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning?
A. To reduce teachers’ workload.
B. To enhance the school’s reputation.
C. To improve students’ academic results.
D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth.
6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement?
A. More focused. B. More energetic.
C. More self-centred. D. More courageous.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach?
A. Its theory. B. Its challenge.
C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness.
C
Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar when Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.

A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs.

10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude?
A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought.
C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning.
11. Which of the following titles best suits this text?
A. Why AI Still gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic

Can you tell fact from fiction online? In a digital world, few questions are more challenging than fighting misinformation. As an education researcher and former high school history teacher, I know that history class can stimulate critical thinking — but only if teachers and schools understand what it really means.
Some might consider critical thinking an ability that teachers can encourage. Or they might be referring to specific skills — for instance, that students should learn a set of steps to take to assess information online. Cognitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind of reasoning that involves problem-solving and making sound judgments. It can be learned, but it relies on specific content knowledge.
Since context is key to critical thinking, learning to analyze information about current events likely requires knowledge about politics and history, as well as practice at tracing sources. Fortunately, that is what social studies classes are for.
Social studies researchers often describe this kind of critical thinking as “historical thinking”: a way to evaluate evidence about the past and assess its reliability. In social studies classrooms students can make relatively quick progress on some of the surface features of historical thinking, such as learning to check a text’s date and author.
Social studies classrooms can also build what researchers call “civic online reasoning.” Fact-checking is complex. It is not enough to tell young people that they should be careful online, or to trust sites that end in “.org” instead of “.com.” Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues.
Therefore, the solution lies not in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditional social studies education that combines background knowledge with analytical capabilities. Only then can we effectively prepare students to distinguish truth from fiction in our digital world.
12 How does the writer view critical thinking?
A. It naturally develops over time.
B. It is a kind of step-by-step learning.
C. It is a form of content-based reasoning.
D. It improves with teachers’ encouragement.
13. Why can social studies encourage critical thinking?
A. They focus on past evidence.
B. They question general principles.
C. They develop fact-checking skills.
D. They provide trustworthy websites.
14. Which can be considered “civic online reasoning” according to the text?
A. Trusting online news without tracing sources.
B. Assessing public matters via fact-checking.
C. Dismissing social media as unreliable.
D. Employing AI to spread news stories.
15. What solution does the author suggest?
A. Applying traditional social skills.
B. Highlighting historical knowledge.
C. Emphasizing social studies learning.
D Teaching communication techniques.

An Unexpected Angel
In the extreme heat I watched an elderly woman struggle with bags of groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off.
She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911.
With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake.” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
I saw the boy waving something.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy.
