For one night only, the famous Shanghai Pingtan Troupe will perform stories of the four beauties of ancient China-Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun and Yang Guifei. Beyond the great battle tales and touching love stories, the performance will creatively pay respect to the contributions the four women made to their country. Originating in Suzhou over 400 years ago and performed in the Suzhou dialect (方言), pingtan is a combination of two Chinese folk art forms — pinghua (storytelling without music) and tanci (storytelling with music accompaniment). In 2006, it was listed as one of China’s intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture of China.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了上海评弹团在新加坡滨海艺术中心的演出信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“pingtan is a combination of two Chinese folk art forms — pinghua (storytelling without music) and tanci (storytelling with music accompaniment). (评弹是两种中国民间艺术形式的结合——评话(无音乐讲故事)和弹词(有音乐伴奏讲故事))”可知，评话与弹词的区别在于音乐。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Students, Seniors & Minors: $36 (学生、老年人和未成年人：36美元)”可知，学生票每人36美元，那么一组四名学生需要支付36×4 = 144美元。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Practical Information部分“Late-comers will be admitted during suitable breaks, if any. (若演出有合适间隙，迟到观众可以入场)”可知，观众最有可能在休息间隙进入剧院。故选C项。 B Britain became the world’s first major economy to quit coal power when it shut off the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant this week. It was a milestone for the country which was the first nation in the world to power its economy with the dirty fuel in the early 19th century. The Romans found coal in western England as early as the third century and coal mining became a profitable business in the 1600s across England, Scotland and Wales. Around the turn of the 18th century, the coal-powered steam engine was invented and used to power industry in Britain. In the early 19th century, a British engineer invented the coal-fired train which sped commerce across the country. Then in 1882, Thomas Edison’s company opened the first coal-fired power plant in London. By the 1950s, British coal consumption peaked and about 96% of its electricity came from burning it. But the pollution became so serious that the word “smog” was coined. In the so-called Great Smog of 1952, at least 4,000 people died within four days in London. Since then Britain has started to seek cleaner energy. In the 1960s, it discovered natural gas in the North Sea. In 2023, about a third of its electricity came from gas. In recent decades, Britain has also invested massively in renewable energy. It is now the world’s second-largest offshore wind market, after China. In 2023, offshore wind generated 17% of the nation’s electricity. At the same time, Britain has tightened the control on air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. “In the early 2000s, the British government was writing the world’s first set of laws on climate change,” recalls Michael Lewis, CEO of the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant. “Those laws banned new coal stations from being built, and taxed coal plants for their pollution. Such measures have made burning coal increasingly uneconomical.” Looking ahead, Britain aims to quit natural gas by 2030, and cut CO2 emissions entirely by 2050. 24. Why is the Great Smog mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the side effects of burning coal. B. To tell the risks of coal mining. C. To explain a newly coined word. D. To criticize the first power plant in London. 25. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Britain’s potential in emission cuts. B. Britain’s heavy reliance on natural gas. C. Britain’s strength at the offshore wind market. D. Britain’s efforts to replace the dirty coal. 26. The Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant is closed down probably due to ________. A. a newly passed law B. the lack of new coal stations C. the increasing operation costs D. a shortage of coal 27. When does Britain plan to abandon natural gas? A. By 2035. B. By 2030. C. By 2045. D. By 2050. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。英国关停索厄河畔拉特克利夫发电厂，告别煤电。该国曾依赖煤炭，后积极转型，计划2030年弃用天然气。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But the pollution became so serious that the word ‘smog’ was coined. In the so-called Great Smog of 1952, at least 4,000 people died within four days in London.(但污染变得如此严重，以至于“雾霾”一词应运而生。在1952年所谓的“大雾霾”事件中，伦敦四天内至少有4000人死亡。)”可知，提及“大雾霾”是为了举例说明燃烧煤炭带来的副作用（严重污染与人员伤亡）。故选A。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Since then Britain has started to seek cleaner energy.(从那以后，英国开始寻求更清洁的能源。)”及后文提到的“发现北海天然气”、“大规模投资可再生能源”、“成为全球第二大海上风电市场”等内容可知，该段主要讲述英国为替代高污染煤炭所做的努力。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Those laws banned new coal stations from being built, and taxed coal plants for their pollution. Such measures have made burning coal increasingly uneconomical.(这些法律禁止新建燃煤电站，并对燃煤电厂的污染征税。此类措施使得燃烧煤炭变得越来越不经济。)”可知，拉特克利夫电站关闭可能是因为污染征税导致运营成本上升，燃烧煤炭不再划算。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Looking ahead, Britain aims to quit natural gas by 2030, and cut CO2 emissions entirely by 2050.(展望未来，英国计划到2030年停止使用天然气，到2050年完全削减二氧化碳排放。)”可知，英国计划在2030年前放弃天然气。故选B。 C When Inside Higher Education recently interviewed college students about their reading. Ava Wherley, a biology major, complained, “Academic texts usually use extremely complex language, which makes them harder to read. I have to rely on short videos for comprehension.” But Wherley is not, as she believes, a visual learner. Instead, she’s just a struggling reader with a fluency at a middle-school reading level. In this respect, Wherley has plenty of company. According to the study, millions of college students in the US have to rely on videos or AI for their reading nowadays, largely because they struggle with reading comprehension beyond a basic level. The interviewers have further revealed that students struggle with reading mainly because teachers have reduced the amount and complexity of students’ reading materials in primary and secondary grades. They have found that most teachers in secondary education usually assign short reading passages. And, in the few classes where students read books, they usually receive summaries, which “just ruins the whole story,” as Wherley protested. “However when kids read entire novels without notes or summaries, they discover the pleasures of reading. Such kind of reading gives even avoidant readers the enhanced vocabulary they need to become better readers,” the interviewers write in their report. Another major finding from the research is that reading frequency accounts for 13% of the variation between strong and weak readers in elementary grades, a difference that climbs to 30% in high school and 34% in college students. Moreover, as the study has revealed, students who read entire books in their leisure time enjoy the most significant benefits to their reading comprehension. “Despite these significant benefits, only 14 percent of the students reported reading in their leisure time,” the report concludes. “The result perfectly illustrates the Matthew Effect: the more they avoid reading, the harder they’ll find reading. In other words, students may be caught in a vicious (恶性的) cycle that ruins their success in college, the workplace, and life, including their ability to understand a complex argument or make an informed decision.” 28. Why does Ava Wherley turn to short videos? A. The reading materials are boring. B. The academic texts are too complex. C. She fails to reach the required reading fluency. D. She is a student with learning disabilities. 29. What might the researchers advise teachers to do in secondary education? A. Encourage students to read entire books. B. Ask students to read notes or summaries. C. Help weak readers learn the new words first. D. Give struggling students short reading passages. 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Students should be given more leisure time. B. Avoidant students need more encouragement. C. American students are happy with their reading skills. D. Reading fluency is critical for students’ success. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To find out the root cause of reading problems. B. To introduce the findings of a recent survey. C. To review a newly published educational report. D. To expose the problems in the US higher education. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于大学生阅读能力的调查研究。研究发现许多大学生因阅读流畅度不足而依赖视频或AI获取理解，分析了导致这一问题的教育原因，并指出阅读频率对阅读理解能力的重要影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But Wherley is not, as she believes, a visual learner. Instead, she’s just a struggling reader with a fluency at a middle-school reading level. (但Wherley并不像她自己认为的那样是一个视觉学习者。相反，她只是一个阅读困难的读者，阅读流畅度只达到中学水平。)”可知，Ava Wherley求助短视频是因为她没有达到所需的阅读流畅度。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The interviewers have further revealed that students struggle with reading mainly because teachers have reduced the amount and complexity of students’ reading materials in primary and secondary grades. (采访者们进一步透露，学生在阅读方面存在困难，主要是因为中小学教师减少了学生阅读材料的数量并降低了其复杂度。)”以及第四段““However, when kids read entire novels without notes or summaries, they discover the pleasures of reading. Such kind of reading gives even avoidant readers the enhanced vocabulary they need to become better readers,” the interviewers write in their report. (“然而，当孩子们阅读整本小说且不借助注释或摘要时，他们会发现阅读的乐趣。这种阅读方式甚至能让那些不爱读书的孩子掌握更多词汇，而这些词汇正是他们成为更优秀读者所需要的，”采访者在他们的报告中写道。)”可知，研究者认为教师应鼓励学生阅读完整书籍而非依赖摘要。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The result perfectly illustrates the Matthew Effect: the more they avoid reading, the harder they’ll find reading. In other words, students may be caught in a vicious (恶性的) cycle that ruins their success in college, the workplace, and life, including their ability to understand a complex argument or make an informed decision. (这一结果完美地阐释了马太效应：他们越回避阅读，就会觉得阅读越困难。换句话说，学生们可能会陷入一个恶性循环，这会毁掉他们在大学、职场以及生活中的成功，包括他们理解复杂论点或做出明智决策的能力。)”可推知，阅读流畅度对学生的成功至关重要。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。纵览全文，根据第一段中“When Inside Higher Education recently interviewed college students about their reading. (当《高等教育内幕》最近就阅读问题采访大学生时。)”以及下文提到的研究发现，如学生阅读困难的原因、阅读频率对阅读能力的影响等，可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍最近一项调查的结果。故选B项。 D It’s not just you. A lot of people think that the quality of results from traditional search engines is getting worse. Now, the rise of AI search engines may lead to different and perhaps better ways to look up information if they are used properly. Rather than typing in a string of keywords, AI searches should be conversational — for example, “What’s the average temperature in London for the second half of February?” or “Where are some good places to travel in Europe this summer?” If you’re not satisfied with an answer, ask follow-up questions to zero in on the information needed. Some even offer users related follow-up questions to get the best answer. Unlike traditional search results that throw up a list of links, AI search engines produce a readable summary of the information, sometimes with a few key links as footnotes. Of course, the answers vary — sometimes widely — depending on the site. Answers from Phind.com are among the most readable and are consistently provided in a narrative form. Although the AI search results seem like they’re written by a very competent human, they’re not always correct. The phenomenon is called “hallucination”. Hallucinations occur frequently since these AI systems scan huge amounts of information taken from doubtful sources and then use algorithms (算法) to come up with well-edited answers. Some AI search engines disclose how their algorithms have been trained on. Others provide few or no details. Therefore, the best advice is to try more than one AI search engine and compare the results. And always double check sources as we should do with the traditional search engines. For example, at one point, Komo, one of the best AI search engines, insisted that Canada’s population in 1991 was about 1 million people. It turned out that the figure came from a Wikipedia page for the country’s native population. 32. What does the phrase “zero in on” underlined in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get rid of. B. Narrow down to. C. Make up with. D. Take control of. 33. Why does the “hallucination” phenomenon happen? A. The information may be taken from unreliable sources. B. Different algorithms may use different training methods. C. The training processes remain secret to the general public. D. Some of the algorithms are designed by unqualified engineers. 34. What are we recommended to do with the AI search results? A. Test them at different traditional sites. B. See whether they are well-edited or not. C. Check them carefully at the Wikipedia page. D. Compare them with results from other AI sites. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where to Find the Best AI Search Engine? B. Limitations of Traditional Search Engines C. How to Use AI Search Engines Properly? D. Differences Among the AI Search Engines 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了使用AI搜索引擎时应该注意的问题。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“What’s the average temperature in London for the second half of February?” or “Where are some good places to travel in Europe this summer?” If you’re not satisfied with an answer, ask follow-up questions to zero in on the information needed.(“伦敦2月下旬的平均气温是多少？”或者“今年夏天欧洲有哪些好的旅游地点？”如果你对答案不满意，可以提出后续问题以zero in on所需信息。)”可知，提出后续问题是为了更精准地获取所需信息，zero in on在此处意为“缩小范围至、聚焦于”，与选项B“Narrow down to”含义相符。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Hallucinations occur frequently since these AI systems scan huge amounts of information taken from doubtful sources and then use algorithms (算法) to come up with well-edited answers.(“幻觉”现象频繁发生，因为这些人工智能系统会扫描大量来自可疑来源的信息，然后使用算法生成编辑精良的答案。)”可知，“幻觉” 现象发生的原因是信息可能来自不可靠的来源。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Therefore, the best advice is to try more than one AI search engine and compare the results. And always double check sources as we should do with the traditional search engines.(因此，最好的建议是尝试不止一个人工智能搜索引擎并对比结果。而且要像使用传统搜索引擎那样，始终仔细核实来源。)”可知，对于人工智能搜索引擎的结果，建议我们将其与其他人工智能搜索引擎的结果进行对比。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开头指出传统搜索引擎质量下降、人工智能搜索引擎兴起，接着介绍了人工智能搜索引擎的正确使用方式（对话式提问、提后续问题）、特点（生成可读摘要），然后指出其存在的 “幻觉” 问题，最后给出合理使用建议（多尝试、对比结果、核实来源），整体围绕“如何正确使用人工智能搜索引擎”展开，选项C能概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选C。 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。 Being an Earthling (地球人) isn’t easy these days. ___36___.

Trends move so quickly these days and most of us have a strong desire to follow whatever trend is “in” right now.(放弃快时尚。如今的趋势变化如此之快，我们大多数人都有强烈的愿望去追随任何“流行”的趋势)”可知，上文提到追求流行趋势，本句说明这一现象导致的结果。故C选项“但是这会导致更多的衣服被扔进垃圾填埋场”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Freezing can lock in flavor and nutrients. In addition, it is one of the best ways to keep fresh produce from rotting. It is estimated that roughly half of all food waste occurs during the consumption stage and about 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from wasted food.(冷冻可以锁住味道和营养成分。此外，这也是防止新鲜农产品腐烂的最好方法之一。据估计，大约一半的食物浪费发生在消费阶段，大约8%的温室气体排放来自被浪费的食物)”可知，本段主要是讲通过冷藏我们能有效地减少食品浪费，故B选项“冷冻不能马上食用的农产品”符合语境，故选B。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Cut back on plastic by figuring out how much we use and why. Plastic waste has already become a huge environmental and social problem.(通过弄清楚我们使用了多少以及为什么使用塑料来减少塑料的使用。塑料垃圾已经成为一个巨大的环境和社会问题)”可知，上文提到了塑料来及成为了巨大的问题，空项应该会强调“微不足道的”日常行为的重要作用，以形成对比，故E选项“但是今天减少它在我们家里的使用仍然有影响”符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“The most effective thing we can do to cut back on plastic waste is figure out how much we use. Go room by room and check the plastics in our home. Not only will this help us understand how much plastic we use, but how we’re using it.(为了减少塑料垃圾，我们能做的最有效的事情就是弄清楚我们使用了多少。一个房间一个房间地去检查我们家的塑料制品。这不仅有助于我们了解我们使用了多少塑料，还有助于我们了解我们是如何使用塑料的)”可知，上文提出了检查塑料制品，本句总结上文，指出这么做的结果。故D选项“这样，我们就可以制定一个削减开支的计划”符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 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。 Hackett was hiking last April when he heard a faint (微弱的) sound.

Finally, he saved enough money and set off on his journey alone, filled with expectation for the experiences that awaited him. Upon his arrival at a small town, Martin found a small hotel and decided to check in. He was received by the hotel owner Emma, an elderly local woman who only spoke Italian. Fortunately, he knew a little Italian and finally settled in his comfortable room. The days went smoothly and Martin was amazed by the beauty of the small town. What made his stay more pleasant was Emma’s kindness and generosity. Though she seldom talked with him, she shared delicious food with him and really cared about him. Martin felt lucky and grateful that he had met such a kind local. Actually, Martin’s presence made Emma happy as well. However, the peace was broken on the last day of Martin’s stay. He was out in the morning and at lunchtime couldn’t find his bag he always carried with him. He got worried as the bag contained his passport and money. He searched every place he had been to, but couldn’t find his bag. He went to the local police station because he thought those who found his bag with a passport in it might hand it to the police officers. However, the language barrier posed a big challenge. His limited Italian and the police officers’ little knowledge of English made the communication discouraging and confusing. His efforts didn’t pay off. Martin didn’t return to the hotel until the night fell. Emma was relieved to see him back, but soon noticed he didn’t carry his black-and-white bag. From his broken Italian and body language, she learned he had lost it. 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。 The next morning.

She accompanied him to report the incident to the police officers again, communicating with them in fluent Italian. Giving a detailed account of the lost bag, including its color and size, she also emphasized the importance of the bag to Martin as she knew he had always carried it with him. The local officers took some notes and promised to inform them if anyone handed in the lost bag. Emma left the hotel’s phone number and took Martin back to the hotel. In the afternoon, Emma received a call from the police station. The officer who called told her that someone had found the bag and it could be claimed before the night. Excited and grateful, Martin followed Emma to get his bag, in which his passport and money remained. Martin was so thrilled that he gave Emma a big hug and expressed his sincere gratitude in English. Looking at Emma’s confused face, Martin quickly said “thank you” in Italian. Emma smiled back, which inspired Martin to extend his stay in this lovely town. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。美国青年马丁梦想访问意大利小镇，终于存够钱独自启程。在一家小旅馆，他遇到了只会说意大利语的老板娘艾玛，两人虽语言不通，但相处融洽。马丁享受着小镇之美和艾玛的善意。然而，在最后一天上午，马丁丢失了装有护照和钱的包，寻找未果后去警局求助，因语言障碍未能成功。直到夜晚，马丁才回到旅馆，艾玛发现他丢了包。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“第二天早上，艾玛主动提出帮助马丁。”可知，第一段可以描写艾玛对于马丁的帮助。 ②由第二段句首内容“下午，艾玛接到了警察局的电话。”可知，第二段可以描写找到包后的动作和心理。 2.续写线索：动提出帮助马丁—帮助—接到警察局的电话—找到—感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①与某人沟通：communicate with sb./talk with sb. ②详细说明：give a detailed account of/describe sth. in detail ③强调：emphasize/stress 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/excitative ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】The local officers took some notes and promised to inform them if anyone handed in the lost bag.

B Britain became the world’s first major economy to quit coal power when it shut off the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant this week. It was a milestone for the country which was the first nation in the world to power its economy with the dirty fuel in the early 19th century. The Romans found coal in western England as early as the third century and coal mining became a profitable business in the 1600s across England, Scotland and Wales. Around the turn of the 18th century, the coal-powered steam engine was invented and used to power industry in Britain. In the early 19th century, a British engineer invented the coal-fired train which sped commerce across the country. Then in 1882, Thomas Edison’s company opened the first coal-fired power plant in London. By the 1950s, British coal consumption peaked and about 96% of its electricity came from burning it. But the pollution became so serious that the word “smog” was coined. In the so-called Great Smog of 1952, at least 4,000 people died within four days in London. Since then Britain has started to seek cleaner energy. In the 1960s, it discovered natural gas in the North Sea. In 2023, about a third of its electricity came from gas. In recent decades, Britain has also invested massively in renewable energy. It is now the world’s second-largest offshore wind market, after China. In 2023, offshore wind generated 17% of the nation’s electricity. At the same time, Britain has tightened the control on air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. “In the early 2000s, the British government was writing the world’s first set of laws on climate change,” recalls Michael Lewis, CEO of the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant. “Those laws banned new coal stations from being built, and taxed coal plants for their pollution. Such measures have made burning coal increasingly uneconomical.” Looking ahead, Britain aims to quit natural gas by 2030, and cut CO2 emissions entirely by 2050. 24. Why is the Great Smog mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the side effects of burning coal. B. To tell the risks of coal mining. C. To explain a newly coined word. D. To criticize the first power plant in London. 25. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Britain’s potential in emission cuts. B. Britain’s heavy reliance on natural gas. C. Britain’s strength at the offshore wind market. D. Britain’s efforts to replace the dirty coal. 26. The Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Plant is closed down probably due to ________. A. a newly passed law B. the lack of new coal stations C. the increasing operation costs D. a shortage of coal 27. When does Britain plan to abandon natural gas? A. By 2035. B. By 2030. C. By 2045. D. By 2050. C When Inside Higher Education recently interviewed college students about their reading. Ava Wherley, a biology major, complained, “Academic texts usually use extremely complex language, which makes them harder to read. I have to rely on short videos for comprehension.” But Wherley is not, as she believes, a visual learner. Instead, she’s just a struggling reader with a fluency at a middle-school reading level. In this respect, Wherley has plenty of company. According to the study, millions of college students in the US have to rely on videos or AI for their reading nowadays, largely because they struggle with reading comprehension beyond a basic level. The interviewers have further revealed that students struggle with reading mainly because teachers have reduced the amount and complexity of students’ reading materials in primary and secondary grades. They have found that most teachers in secondary education usually assign short reading passages. And, in the few classes where students read books, they usually receive summaries, which “just ruins the whole story,” as Wherley protested. “However, when kids read entire novels without notes or summaries, they discover the pleasures of reading. Such kind of reading gives even avoidant readers the enhanced vocabulary they need to become better readers,” the interviewers write in their report. Another major finding from the research is that reading frequency accounts for 13% of the variation between strong and weak readers in elementary grades, a difference that climbs to 30% in high school and 34% in college students. Moreover, as the study has revealed, students who read entire books in their leisure time enjoy the most significant benefits to their reading comprehension. “Despite these significant benefits, only 14 percent of the students reported reading in their leisure time,” the report concludes. “The result perfectly illustrates the Matthew Effect: the more they avoid reading, the harder they’ll find reading. In other words, students may be caught in a vicious (恶性的) cycle that ruins their success in college, the workplace, and life, including their ability to understand a complex argument or make an informed decision.” 28. Why does Ava Wherley turn to short videos? A. The reading materials are boring. B. The academic texts are too complex. C. She fails to reach the required reading fluency. D. She is a student with learning disabilities. 29. What might the researchers advise teachers to do in secondary education? A. Encourage students to read entire books. B. Ask students to read notes or summaries. C. Help weak readers learn the new words first. D. Give struggling students short reading passages. 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Students should be given more leisure time. B. Avoidant students need more encouragement. C. American students are happy with their reading skills. D. Reading fluency is critical for students’ success. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To find out the root cause of reading problems. B. To introduce the findings of a recent survey. C. To review a newly published educational report. D. To expose the problems in the US higher education. D It’s not just you. A lot of people think that the quality of results from traditional search engines is getting worse. Now, the rise of AI search engines may lead to different and perhaps better ways to look up information if they are used properly. Rather than typing in a string of keywords, AI searches should be conversational — for example, “What’s the average temperature in London for the second half of February?” or “Where are some good places to travel in Europe this summer?” If you’re not satisfied with an answer, ask follow-up questions to zero in on the information needed. Some even offer users related follow-up questions to get the best answer. Unlike traditional search results that throw up a list of links, AI search engines produce a readable summary of the information, sometimes with a few key links as footnotes. Of course, the answers vary — sometimes widely — depending on the site. Answers from Phind.com are among the most readable and are consistently provided in a narrative form. Although the AI search results seem like they’re written by a very competent human, they’re not always correct. The phenomenon is called “hallucination”. Hallucinations occur frequently since these AI systems scan huge amounts of information taken from doubtful sources and then use algorithms (算法) to come up with well-edited answers. Some AI search engines disclose how their algorithms have been trained on. Others provide few or no details. Therefore, the best advice is to try more than one AI search engine and compare the results. And always double check sources as we should do with the traditional search engines. For example, at one point, Komo, one of the best AI search engines, insisted that Canada’s population in 1991 was about 1 million people. It turned out that the figure came from a Wikipedia page for the country’s native population. 32. What does the phrase “zero in on” underlined in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get rid of. B. Narrow down to. C. Make up with. D. Take control of. 33. Why does the “hallucination” phenomenon happen? A. The information may be taken from unreliable sources. B. Different algorithms may use different training methods. C. The training processes remain secret to the general public. D. Some of the algorithms are designed by unqualified engineers. 34. What are we recommended to do with the AI search results? A. Test them at different traditional sites. B. See whether they are well-edited or not. C. Check them carefully at the Wikipedia page. D. Compare them with results from other AI sites. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where to Find the Best AI Search Engine? B. Limitations of Traditional Search Engines C How to Use AI Search Engines Properly? D. Differences Among the AI Search Engines 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。 Being an Earthling (地球人) isn’t easy these days. ___36___.

Finally, he saved enough money and set off on his journey alone, filled with expectation for the experiences that awaited him. Upon his arrival at a small town, Martin found a small hotel and decided to check in. He was received by the hotel owner Emma, an elderly local woman who only spoke Italian. Fortunately, he knew a little Italian and finally settled in his comfortable room. The days went smoothly and Martin was amazed by the beauty of the small town. What made his stay more pleasant was Emma’s kindness and generosity. Though she seldom talked with him, she shared delicious food with him and really cared about him. Martin felt lucky and grateful that he had met such a kind local. Actually, Martin’s presence made Emma happy as well. However, the peace was broken on the last day of Martin’s stay. He was out in the morning and at lunchtime couldn’t find his bag he always carried with him. He got worried as the bag contained his passport and money. He searched every place he had been to, but couldn’t find his bag. He went to the local police station because he thought those who found his bag with a passport in it might hand it to the police officers. However, the language barrier posed a big challenge. His limited Italian and the police officers’ little knowledge of English made the communication discouraging and confusing. His efforts didn’t pay off. Martin didn’t return to the hotel until the night fell. Emma was relieved to see him back, but soon noticed he didn’t carry his black-and-white bag. From his broken Italian and body language, she learned he had lost it. 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。 The next morning.
