D.$480 B From an early age,Edward Norton was taught what protecting the environment really requires.His father,an environmental lawyer,founded the Grand Canyon Trust and his grandfather was a pioneer in low-income housing policy. Norton built his own career in a different field,becoming one of his generation's most respected actors.When Norton first became famous,he concluded that he wasn't interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work."I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,"he says."It's not that I don't believe those things are important,,but that held no nourishment营养for me.” What does nourish Norton is his work with a Kenya-based organization called the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust,which helps the Maasai people to make a living from their land through innovative means.One project that Norton is particularly proud of channels profits from the sale of carbon offsets (to local Maasai communities who use that money to support health,education,and conservation initiatives. One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather:raising funds.This led Norton to a realization."We can't have the 第4页共11页 conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,"he says,"It not only can't scale;it's fundamentally unstable." A new model is needed.Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country-or better yet,in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its,profits locally,instead of paying distant shareholders. Norton is optimistic about the model's prospects,"I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow.The needs of people are not going to take a lower priority to the spiritual value of nature.If protecting and restoring nature can't produce a stronger and more reliable economy,the effort will fail." 24.How did Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson? A.Enthusiastic. B.Tolerant.C.Dissatisfied. D.Confused. 25.What is Norton's main concern about the conservation movement? A.Expansion of its public influence. B.Lack of a stable source of funding. C.Failre to meet the needs of local communities. 9U09出1515153.0 D.Repetition of the faults of previous generations. 台4 26.What is special about Norton's new model of conservation? A.Downplaying the value of nature. B.Raising funds from distant donors. r01i九.d)4a9y9s 210y00©I6.29..c C.Focusing on local children's education. D.Benefiting local economic development. 27.Which of the following words best describe Norton? 5S2s以生 A.Confident and honest. B.Generous and talented. 121C0337 C.Practical and pioneering. D.Ambitious and conventional. c "Individuals of all ages who have empathy (understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other people from getting hurt,"says Barbara Greenberg,a clinical psychologist in Connecticut."Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not beneficial."A white lie,she explains,spares people from unnecessary ,240310y”i月 hurt. 4。 At the same time,Dr.Julia Breur,a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you;it's not just about the person the white lie is being told to.For example,she says someone who always tells others that"all is good"when it comes to a sick patient in an effort 第5页共11页 工 to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is,can eventually face stressful experiences.When that patient eventually passes away,the person who always gave an"all is good"response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes,telling white lies often depends on the situation,Dr.Breur says.For example,consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months.The daughter has gained noticeable weight,yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great."I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,"Dr.Breur says."So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight,it can be acceptable.It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love.Otherwise,white lies-especially when told to avoid personal accountability -can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,"she adds. Therefore,it's important to ask ourselves when it is and isn't appropriate to deliver the honest truth,and when it's best to step back and offer a more delicate response.More often than not,it's about finding a balance between the two. 28.What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? .国 A.They are short-lived. 行L,】 B.They are unidentifiable 8法 C.They are trouble-making.. D.They are common. 29.What message does Dr.Breur deliver in paragraph 2? 996i时ssi1g全ubicno A.White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. B.We must respond to our family members truthfully. ,70,90s13.代 C.It's wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill patient. 力00n".0591i D.The"all is good"response is effective in dealing with patients. 30.Which of the following white lies may Dr.Breur support?A A.A student claims his homework was left at home. B.An employee blames traffic jam for being late. C.ADad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm. D.Anurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the text? 6:08庄A A.East or West,White Lies Are the Best e7bSl他 B.Think Twice Before Telling White Lies C.White Lies Signify Unconditional Love 92龙人 524A D.Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy 102 ixint2月 把31110t29】. Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch sereen: that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it.The screen,which they refer to as"DeformIO",uses air-powered systems 第6页共11页 and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse ( around it.The researchers say it could add a new input layer (to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks,from looking through digital maps to playing games and"feeling"the hardness of products virtually Though DeformIO,which is 3 mm thick with a 140 mm2 surface layer,isn't the first 'changeable screen,it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time,which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile 觉的）response while moving their finger across the screen.“in other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer,more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,"lead author James Nash said. If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices,they could change the way users_interface with apps and services used on a daily basis.The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map.In this example,the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen. It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens.Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens,which have already existed for years,are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience.It's possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way."We hope that in 10 to 20 years'time,the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone.For now,were exploring the applications it might be best suited to..”Nash said. 32.What can be learned about DeformIO? A.It's a protective layer for screens. 3d15日sy093.i B.It's a screen with tactile flexibility. C.It performs different tasks together. 900这0，、51、 D.It senses changes in users'idertity. 33.What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs? A.Its adaptable appearance. T B.Its better-quality sensors C.Its small size and light weight. D.Its more realistic sense of touch. 34.What does the underlined phrase"interface with"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Mix up.B.Assist with.C.Connect with.D.Improve on. 35.What challenge might DeformIO face? 1. A.Low customer interest. B.Technical design limitations. C.Insufficient development funds.D.Strong competition within the industry. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分).i9日 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 第7页共11页 两项为多余选项。”111新 In today's world where artificial intelligence(AI)can copy our words,automate our decisions and even simulate emotions,understanding what sets us apart isn't just philosophical.36 Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths our creativity,emotional intelligence,life experiences and sense of purpose,so that we don't just coexist with Al,but rise above it,shaping the future instead of being shaped by it.Here are three irreplaceable human attributes () We have real-life experiences while AI has data.Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we're born.37 While AL,on the other hand,can analyze massive data,it doesn't learn from pain,joy, failure,or success the way humans do.Experience isn't just about information-it's about personal growth. 38We create stories to make sense of the world,find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future.However,AI doesn't wonder about "the why"behind what it does.Instead,it just processes requests and generates responses, without caring about the outcome beyond the goals that it's pre-programmed to 65 achieve We have free will while AI has codes ()Humans can choose generosity over self-interest,forgiveness over hatred,and innovation over conformity.But AI only follows rules.No matter how advanced,it's always bound by its programming. 39 AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful,but it will likely never provide what makes us human-empathy(共情)，true love,.meaningful purpose and life expcriences.40 In this way,we can ensure that technology will serve humanity-not the other way around.
