B Standing on the lakeshore, my gaze drifts down to the tens-even hundreds of thousands of-small stones scattered around my boots, and I can't help but pause in wonder. Each was created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time. And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks? Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1, 000 years ago. And much like a rock, I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together. But I'm not a rock. I'm a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA. Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: "Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can." But the guy tried to argue about the note. I sat watching, understanding both sides. I've been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others' eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success. You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another's point of view. I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again. 4. What does the author compare the rocks to? A. Challenges that we come across. B. Our abilities that grows with time. C. People with varied personalities. D. Different stages of people's lives. 5. What does the underlined phrase "the waters of life" in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to? A. The passing time that changes a person's attitude to himself. B The difficult experiences that the author encountered in his life. C. The natural phenomena like rain and waves that wear down rocks. D. The various life events that shape the author's perspective on others. 6. What caused the argument in the restaurant? A. The guy's failing to obey the rules. B. The owner's inappropriate attitude. C. Misunderstanding between the two sides. D. Lack of clarity in the sign. 7. What does the author try to convey through this text? A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions. B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life. C. Don't compromise easily and always stick to your principles. D. Being adaptive and understanding brings a sense of well-being. C Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management. Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts. Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. 8. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot? A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions. B. Because their population has declined significantly. C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters. D. Because they are hiding from human beings. 9. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support? A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money. C. It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues. 10. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline? A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors. B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat. C. It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness. D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises. B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered. C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises. D. The impact of climate change on tortoises. D As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers. “We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’” If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide. “Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity. The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support. It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says. 12. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess? A. Ignoring the potential of AI. B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority. C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose. D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency. 13. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abandoning. B. Stressing. C. Admitting. D. Assessing. 14. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design? A. Enhancing algorithm complexity. B. Reducing human dependence on AI. C. Considering human-AI interaction. D. Improving AI’s independent capability. 15. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show? A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful. B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate. C. No algorithmic support was completely the best. D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective. 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。 China’s pet economy is booming.

I felt extremely lonely there. Among the 790 new students, I didn’t recognize a single face from my middle school, and I struggled to make new friends. At home, things weren’t much better. My little brother was too young to have anything to do with me. My elder brother was busy planning and preparing for his college life. My older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. Dad was working in a faraway city. Mom, who used to wait for me to come home and was always there to give me a big hug when I had to get the bad feelings off my chest, had also changed. On the very first day I returned from school, she greeted me with criticism, “Carole, your bedroom’s a disaster. You’re grown up now! Can’t you keep it clean?” At the moment, the last thing I needed was her criticism. I just wanted a big hug or a few heart-warm words from her. “Mom, I...” I tried to explain, but a phone ring cut me off. “One minute, Carole!” Mom said, turning to answer the phone. I watched her discussing something with her editor. I saw her nodding her head now and then. Then she sat down by her desk to take notes. I knew she was a hardworking writer and a nice Mom who was strict with herself and devoted to us. I knew she’d been busy lately — but still, I couldn’t help feeling hurt and unseen. Back to my room, I started to do my math homework. Unfortunately, I made one mistake after another that day. “How stupid I am!” I thought bitterly. 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。 Each time I made a mistake, I would tear the paper out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I came home very late in the evening. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第一学期期中教学质量检测 高二英语试题 本试卷分四部分，共10页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 l.

Each was created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time. And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks? Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1, 000 years ago. And much like a rock, I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together. But I'm not a rock. I'm a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA. Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: "Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can." But the guy tried to argue about the note. I sat watching, understanding both sides. I've been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others' eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success. You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another's point of view. I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again. 4. What does the author compare the rocks to? A. Challenges that we come across. B. Our abilities that grows with time. C. People with varied personalities. D. Different stages of people's lives. 5. What does the underlined phrase "the waters of life" in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to? A. The passing time that changes a person's attitude to himself. B. The difficult experiences that the author encountered in his life. C. The natural phenomena like rain and waves that wear down rocks. D. The various life events that shape the author's perspective on others. 6. What caused the argument in the restaurant? A. The guy's failing to obey the rules. B. The owner's inappropriate attitude. C. Misunderstanding between the two sides. D. Lack of clarity in the sign. 7. What does the author try to convey through this text? A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions. B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life. C. Don't compromise easily and always stick to your principles. D. Being adaptive and understanding brings a sense of well-being. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过湖边石头从棱角分明到圆润光滑的变化，类比人生成长，探讨学会理解他人、调整自我的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock. I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. (即使是最高的山也已磨损；没有一座像一千年前那么高。和这些岩石很像，我发现我的态度软化了，而随着每过一年，我也更渴望能去更好地了解他人) ”以及根据第八段“You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.(把圆润的石头和棱角分明的石头放进罐子里，前者能装下更多。圆润的石头会想办法调整自身、为同类腾出空间；而棱角分明的石头，却绝不会退让分毫来包容他人)”可知，作者将“圆润的石头”和“棱角分明的石头”分别比作“懂得包容的人”和 “固执不愿妥协的人”，即“不同性格的人”。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的 “after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together(历经数十年 “生命之水” 的冲刷，我的棱角变得柔和，也更懂得理解他人。我不再轻易评判，更愿意思考如何与他人共处）可知，“the waters of life” 指 “塑造作者对他人看法的各种人生经历”—— 正是这些经历让作者从 “爱评判” 变得 “善理解”。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can.” But the guy tried to argue about the note. (两年前，在太平洋西北地区旅行时，我看到一个餐馆老板要求一个不遵守规定的人离开。他的态度既不强硬，也不粗鲁。门上写着：“请戴上口罩进入我们的餐厅。我们也不喜欢这样，但让我们一起尽己所能。”但那家伙试图就这条规定进行争吵。)”，从中可知，这次餐馆的争吵原因是这个人未能遵守规则。故选A项 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view. (圆的石头比棱角分明的石头更容易装进罐子里。前者想办法调整自己，为他人腾出空间；后者从不让步迁就别人。时间就像水流冲刷着尖锐的石头，冲走我们对从别人的角度看世界的抗拒，从而改变了我们）”可知，作者通过本文传达的应是“具备适应能力且懂得体谅他人，能让人收获幸福感。”。故选D项。 C Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife called them “threatened” in 1989, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did the same a year later. This year, California took a further step, declaring them “endangered” under the state’s Endangered Species Act — meaning they may go extinct without proper management. Krysten Kellum, a state agency spokesperson, said this status change could help get more funds for their protection. Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. Luckily, nonprofits like the Mojave Desert Land Trust still work to protect the tortoises and their habitat. Finding tortoises is hard because they spend most of their time underground in burrows (洞穴) to escape heat and predators like mountain lions. Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is “death from a thousand cuts” — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. Climate change makes temperatures higher and droughts longer. A study during California’s 2012-2016 drought found fewer female tortoises, as laying eggs uses much water and protein, which is worse in droughts. Tortoises are important “ecosystem engineers”. They dig 7 to 17 burrows yearly, and abandoned ones become homes for other animals. Losing them would harm the whole ecosystem. Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. 8. Why are the Mojave Desert tortoises harder to spot? A. Because they have migrated to completely new regions. B. Because their population has declined significantly. C. Because their patterned shells provide perfect shelters. D. Because they are hiding from human beings. 9. What do Kristina Drake’s words show about federal support? A. It increases because of public demand. B. It will raise more federal money. C. It focused on other species instead. D. It is limited due to staff and budget issues. 10. What can be the cause of the Mojave Desert tortoise’s decline? A. It is the result of a complex combination of factors. B. It is primarily due to a single and identifiable threat. C. It is mainly caused by a lack of public awareness. D. It is directly linked to a specific disease outbreak. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The living habits of Mojave Desert tortoises. B. The reasons for declaring tortoises endangered. C. The efforts to protect Mojave Desert tortoises. D. The impact of climate change on tortoises. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国西南部莫哈韦沙漠陆龟数量大幅减少的现状、原因，以及其重要的生态作用和相关保护措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. These tortoises, with their domed patterned shells, live in California, parts of Nevada, Arizona and northwestern Mexico. However, they have lost habitat to development over decades. Disease and climate change also put them at risk, threatening their existence. (在美国西南部，要找到一只莫哈韦沙漠陆龟正变得越来越难。这些陆龟长着圆顶状且有花纹的龟壳，分布于加利福尼亚州、内华达州部分地区、亚利桑那州以及墨西哥西北部。然而，几十年来，它们的栖息地因人类开发活动而不断丧失。此外，疾病和气候变化也使它们面临生存危机，对其生存构成了威胁)”以及第二段中的“Estimates show that in four out of five main regions where the tortoises live, about 90% have disappeared since 1984. (据估计，自1984年以来，在陆龟生活的五个主要地区中，有四个地区约90%的陆龟已经消失)”可知，莫哈韦沙漠陆龟更难被发现是因为它们的数量大幅减少了，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yet, Kristina Drake, a former USFWS official, said federal support faces challenges — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lost many workers, and its budget may be cut, and more federal money isn’t expected for the tortoises, which have lived in the desert for at least 15 million years. (然而，前美国鱼类和野生动物管理局官员克里斯蒂娜・德雷克表示，联邦政府的支持面临挑战——美国鱼类和野生动物管理局失去了许多工作人员，其预算可能会被削减，而且这种已经在沙漠中生活了至少1500万年的陆龟预计不会获得更多的联邦资金)”可知，克里斯蒂娜・德雷克的话表明，由于人员和预算问题，联邦政府对陆龟的支持是有限的，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Scientists say the tortoises’ decline is ‘death from a thousand cuts’ — caused by vehicle collisions, habitat loss, climate change, and more. (科学家表示，陆龟数量的减少是‘千刀万剐式的死亡’，原因包括车辆碰撞、栖息地丧失、气候变化等等)”可推知，莫哈韦沙漠陆龟数量减少是多种因素复杂结合的结果，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Finding a Mojave Desert tortoise is getting harder in the American Southwest. (在美国西南部，要找到一只莫哈韦沙漠陆龟正变得越来越难)”以及最后一段“Though seeing two tortoises in a day is rare and special now, nonprofits will keep fighting to protect them. (尽管现在一天看到两只陆龟是罕见而特别的，但非营利组织将继续为保护它们而奋斗)”可知，本文主要介绍了莫哈韦沙漠龟数量减少的现状、原因，以及各方为保护它们所做的努力。故选C。 D As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers. “We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补) uses of AI?’” If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide. “Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity. The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support. It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says. 12. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess? A. Ignoring the potential of AI. B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority. C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose. D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency. 13. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abandoning. B. Stressing. C. Admitting. D. Assessing. 14. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design? A. Enhancing algorithm complexity. B. Reducing human dependence on AI. C. Considering human-AI interaction. D. Improving AI’s independent capability. 15. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show? A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful. B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate. C. No algorithmic support was completely the best. D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了如何将人工智能（AI）有效地融入我们的生活和工作。斯坦福大学商学院的副教授Jann Spiess认为当前关于AI的讨论过于关注AI是否优于人类，而应关注AI与人类的互补性。他提出了互补性设计框架，并通过实验证明互补性算法在招聘决策中效果最佳，展示了AI在资源有限环境中的应用潜力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’(“我们对人工智能及其能力的讨论真的是错位的，因为讨论的都是‘人工智能是否比人类更好’”，他继续说道。“我认为我们应该问的是，‘人工智能有哪些互补性的用途？’”)”可知，Spiess认为当前关于AI的辩论主要问题在于过于强调AI的优越性，而没有关注其互补性用途。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide(如果用户过于依赖算法，他们可能会忽略算法可能不知道的相关背景或信息。另一方面，如果用户认为建议过于复杂或不相关，他们可能会完全忽略这些建议，forgoing算法建议可能提供的任何优势)”可知，前后句是对比关系，前半句说用户过于依赖算法会忽略相关信息，后半句说用户认为建议复杂或不相关就会完全忽略这些建议，也就是不再考虑算法建议可能带来的优势，所以“forgoing”意思是“放弃”，与A项“Abandoning”意思一致。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations—and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity(“因此，最佳的算法应当考虑到人类将如何与其所提供的信息进行交互，”施皮斯说道。在最近的一篇论文中，施皮斯概述了一个概念性的设计框架模型，用于模拟人类对算法推荐的响应方式——并提出了一种构建人工智能工具的不同方法。这种方法被称为“互补性”)”可知，Spiess认为有效的人工智能设计的关键在于考虑人类与人工智能的交互。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support(使用互补性算法的人——在人类可能不确定或错误的情况下提供选择性建议——做出了最准确的决策，优于使用纯粹预测性算法的人和不使用算法支持的人)”可知，关于招聘决策的实验表明，互补性算法非常有效。故选D项。 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。 China’s pet economy is booming.

To put it briefly, involution refers to intense internal competition where participants strive hard but gain no obvious advantages over one another. On the one hand, such excessive internal competition brings drawbacks like heavy mental stress and work-life imbalance. Take students for example, this means long study hours, constant anxiety about falling behind, and little time for rest. However, getting into their ideal schools still stays difficult. On the other hand, it drives progress via tech innovation and industry upgrades, letting people enjoy more quality, affordable goods and services. A typical case is electric vehicles. Fierce competition among carmakers has made many advanced and affordable cars accessible to ordinary people. As is known to all, everything has two sides. We ought to view involution objectively and avoid following its negative aspects blindly.

I felt extremely lonely there. Among the 790 new students, I didn’t recognize a single face from my middle school, and I struggled to make new friends. At home, things weren’t much better. My little brother was too young to have anything to do with me. My elder brother was busy planning and preparing for his college life. My older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. Dad was working in a faraway city. Mom, who used to wait for me to come home and was always there to give me a big hug when I had to get the bad feelings off my chest, had also changed. On the very first day I returned from school, she greeted me with criticism, “Carole, your bedroom’s a disaster. You’re grown up now! Can’t you keep it clean?” At the moment, the last thing I needed was her criticism. I just wanted a big hug or a few heart-warm words from her. “Mom, I...” I tried to explain, but a phone ring cut me off. “One minute, Carole!” Mom said, turning to answer the phone. I watched her discussing something with her editor. I saw her nodding her head now and then. Then she sat down by her desk to take notes. I knew she was a hardworking writer and a nice Mom who was strict with herself and devoted to us. I knew she’d been busy lately — but still, I couldn’t help feeling hurt and unseen. Back to my room, I started to do my math homework. Unfortunately, I made one mistake after another that day. “How stupid I am!” I thought bitterly. 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。 Each time I made a mistake, I would tear the paper out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I came home very late in the evening. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Each time I made a mistake, I would tear the paper out. By the time I finished my homework, the floor was covered with piles of waste paper and my bedroom seemed even messier. Strangely, the bigger mess gave me a sense of satisfaction I had never experienced before. I even cut some of the waste paper into tiny pieces and threw them under the bed. Then I closed the door violently and left home without a word. I came home very late in the evening. But when I dragged myself to my bedroom and opened the door, I stopped in surprise — it was tidy and clean. Obviously, Mom had cleaned it up after I left. As I stood there, I realized that Mom’s love hadn’t changed at all. And slowly, my longing for a hug was gradually replaced by a feeling that I would only truly understand years later when I became a parent myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者高中时期的情感经历为线索展开，讲述了作者进入高中后在学校感到孤独、难以交到新朋友，在家中也因家人忙碌、母亲的批评而觉得被忽视，在做数学作业频频出错后产生负面情绪的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“每次我犯错，我都会把纸撕掉。”可知，第一段可描写作者不断犯错后撕纸，把房间弄得一团糟，最后负气离家。 ②由第二段首句内容“我晚上很晚才回家。”可知，第二段可描写作者回家后看到妈妈已经打扫好房间，意识到妈妈的爱从未改变。 2.续写线索：犯错——撕纸——房间一团糟——负气离家——很晚回家——房间干净整洁——意识到妈妈的爱未变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②开门：open the door / unlock the door ③打扫：clean up /tidy up 情绪类 ①满意：satisfaction/contentment ②惊讶：in surprise /in astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1].
