In the words of Professor Stephen Hawking, artificial intelligence will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”．Technology of Tomorrow Forum wants to hear your thoughts on AI.Is it our greatest human achievement so far？Or is it the biggest threat to our existence？ Millenniumbutterfly Thanks to AI, I've got my own super-smart personal assistant built into my phone. She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her, and even uses my answers to learn more about my preferences. It used to feel like 50 per cent of my time was spent researching new restaurants. In contrast, my PA only needs a few seconds to find the right place. Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant. And speaking of hanging out, I'm hoping that self-driving cars are available soon. I've been taking driving lessons for over a year, and still haven't got my licence. Self-driving cars can learn to drive in the same way that we do, and can make judgements based on information. And as they won't be susceptible to human error, they'll certainly be a lot safer. The only thing is that there might be a few machine-learning problems when the first cars hit the market, so perhaps I'd better learn to drive first. Still, I do think that developments in AI will on the whole make doing day-to-day things a lot easier． Pink_haze Machine learning is something we have come to accept as a part of our modern world. I believe most of the value of AI lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts. But while super-intelligent AI could be the biggest leap forward in human history, if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands, it could also be the most dangerous. However, AI is not going to go away. We have no choice but to embrace it and regulate it. One thing I think we all agree on, though, is that saying “My AI did it!” won't be any excuse for illegal or immoral behaviour! 1．What's the function of the words of Stephen Hawking? A. To give the background. B. To put forward the question. C. To introduce the topic. D. To express the purpose. 2．What does the underlined word “hit” mean in paragraph 3? A. Accidentally strike. B. Cause harm. C. Realize suddenly. D. Become available. 3．The opinion of Pink_haze is _ _ _ _ . A. subjective B. objective C. indifference D. negative 4．Where does the passage probably come from? A. Internet. B. Travel brochure. C. News report. D. Science magazine.

Gündüz said she didn't feel worried yet and she settled down with a cup of tea. “The withdrawal symptoms （脱瘾症状） will kick in later,” she said， “But maybe a withdrawal is what's needed if I'm going to cure myself of my addiction.” The club's founders—Ilya Kneppelhout, Valentijn Klok and Jordy van Bennekom—started the project in 2022 with a plan to host offline weekend getaways. Kneppelhout said, at the time, each of the co-founders felt their phones had been controlling their lives. Earlier that year, he took a short trip to the north of the Netherlands on his own with some books and a journal. No phone. He said something shifted over those four days. “I felt so much creativity and, at the same time, a sense of peace.” Jordy van Bennekom did the same and loved it. He began organizing weekend getaways in groups in a house in the countryside. Everyone was required to hand over their phones upon arrival. The three-day events were a hit. So, the idea of The Offline Club was born. There is something that members must follow in the evening. First, there are 45 minutes of quiet time, then a 30-minute break to chat, and then further 30 minutes of time to yourself. Most people bring books to read. Soft music plays in the background as Jordy van Bennekom lays out coloring books and markers for anyone who wants to draw. Smartphones were prohibited in secondary schools across the country under government guidelines. A similar prohibition was introduced in Dutch primary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. A study by Radboud University found that students were generally supportive of the change, saying breaks were more enjoyable. 1．How did the short trip affect Kneppelhout? A. He changed his career. B. He gained a sense of achievement. C. He found the peace of mind. D. He got free of his phone addiction. 2．Which can best describe the three-day events held by Bennekom? A. Tiring. B. Comforting. C. Popular. D. Stressful. 3．What can be learned about The Offline Club? A. It has strict rules for members. B. It requires members to bring books. C. It enjoys great popularity in schools. D. It studies the effects of phone addiction. 4．What's students' attitude towards the smartphone limitation? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful. [答案] 1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B [解析] 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I felt so much creativity and, at the same time, a sense of peace.”可知，克纳珀尔霍特认为这次短程旅行让他感到有创造力且内心宁静。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The three-day events were a hit. So, the idea of The Offline Club was born.”可推知，这些为期三天的活动是很受欢迎的。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“There is something...30 minutes of time to yourself.”可知，该俱乐部有严格的规则。 4．观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“A study by Radboud University...breaks were more enjoyable.”可推知，学生们对学校在智能手机上的限制持积极态度。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“线下俱乐部”提供无手机周末度假，帮助人们摆脱手机依赖。 [（2025·杭州北斗联盟期中）]B A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections （注射） and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated （接种疫苗） against diseases. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated. The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate （膨胀） in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot. The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol （皮质醇） levels from the participants' saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed. The study proved that holding the robot can ease the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions. 5．What is the function of the robot? A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately. B. To help relieve people's pain from injections. C. To evaluate patients' physical and mental health. D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against diseases. 6．What does the underlined word “lessening” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Detecting. B. Increasing. C. Recording. D. Decreasing. 7．What is paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Methods of testing the effectiveness of the robot. B. Reasons for conducting the experiment on the robot. C. The advantages of the new robot in the medical field. D. The process of reducing people's fear of injections. 8．What will researchers probably do next? A. Evaluate the risk of the robot. B. Develop other devices for medical treatment. C. Promote the application of the robot. D. Carry out more tests on the robot. [答案] 5．B 6．D 7．A 8．C [解析] 5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety.”可知，该机器人的功能是帮助人们减轻注射带来的疼痛。 6．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply”和“the experience of pain”可推知，此处应该是指“减轻”痛苦的体验，所以画线词意为“减轻”。 7．段落大意题。根据第三段中的“The research team checked ... based on the clenching of the hand.”可知，本段主要讲述了测试机器人有效性的方法。 8．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The research team hopes to use ... similar conditions.”可推知，研究人员下一步可能会促进机器人的应用。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本的一项研究：可穿戴的软体机器人可以帮助减轻痛苦和保护人们免受焦虑。 Ⅱ.完形填空 [（2025·东莞七校联考）]While I was riding a bike, I noticed a man about half a mile in front of me. He was traveling at a lower speed, so I decided to 1 him. I had about a mile to go on the road before turning off. I started 2 faster and faster. And every block, I gradually closed the distance. Finally, I 3 him and passed him by. I felt like a 4 , while he seemed unaware that we were in a 5 . After I passed him, I realised that I had been so 6 on competing against him that I had 7 my turn, had gone nearly six blocks past it and had to turn around. Isn't that what 8 in life? We spend most of our time 9 with our neighbors, friends and family, trying to 10 them, or trying to outdo them—while there was never a competition in the first place. We use most of our time and energy competing with others instead of 11 our destination, and we miss out on our own paths to our destinies 12 . Unhealthy competition is a continuous process and a never-ending cycle. No matter what you do, someone will always be 13 you; someone with a better job, a nice car and more money. Feel grateful for what life has offered you, stay concentrated on your 14 and live a healthy life. There's no 15 in destiny.
