According to a 2024 survey, adults in the US interact (互动) with AI several times a day. We wonder: Should people be polite to AI during these interactions? Here’s what four students have to say about it. Aubrey: Yes. AI systems learn from interacting with people. This means a person’s behavior influences AI’s responses. I’ve read that using polite language in our prompts (提示) can lead to well-sourced (来源可靠的) information with fewer mistakes. Hanming: No. AI doesn’t have feelings. Sometimes, too many polite words can confuse AI. For example, if someone asks AI to correct a paragraph with many mistakes but says, “Could you please make some small changes?” AI might make only tiny changes. In this example, being too polite, you may take the risk of creating big problems. And AI won’t do what you really want it to do. Ethan: Yes. I think we should be polite to AI, just like we are to other people. Our world needs more kindness, and when we practice it—whether toward people or technology—kindness can spread. Being kind, even to AI, helps build good habits. Asha: No. You don’t have to be impolite to AI, but it’s better to focus on being clear and direct. I’m sure we can all agree that being polite to living creatures is important. But being smart about the use of AI holds more value than wondering if we should be polite to a machine. Let’s lead our lives with honesty and kindness, but let’s also focus on using technology efficiently. 21. According to a 2024 survey, adults in the UK interact with AI several times a day. 22. Both Aubrey and Ethan think that being polite to AI helps users get more detailed information. 23. Hanming thinks that too many polite words may result in AI not giving users the right help. 24. Ethan thinks that kindness is also important to AI. 25. Asha believes that users should not only be very polite to AI but also pay attention to efficiency. 第二节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Central Museum Exhibitions The Central Museum is an exciting place to visit.

A long time ago, there was a family living at the foot of Mountain Lishan. One day, a fortune-teller (算命先生) visited their home and asked to stay over. Although the family had little money, all members welcomed him and treated him to a delicious meal. They even slept on the floor to spare him a bed. The next morning, before leaving, the fortune-teller told them, “On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, climb Mountain Lishan and do not return until moon.” The family followed his advice and set off for the mountain that day. At noon, a sudden flood swept over and destroyed all houses. It was then that the family realized the fortune-teller had saved their lives. Since then, people have followed the tradition of climbing mountains on this day. Besides, the Chongyang Festival is also a time for visiting ancestors’ graves (墓). On this day, families will sweep their ancestors’ graves and place food there. Since most graves are located on hills, this act is also regarded as “climbing the mountain”. Sometimes, people also fly kites on this day to get rid of bad luck. People even avoid picking up fallen kites because they have an ominous (不祥的) meaning. Of course, no festival is complete without special foods! On this day, people enjoy delicious Chongyang cakes, and drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒). They believe this wine helps slow aging and is also good for eye health—so try it if you have the chance! 31. What can be inferred about the family? A. They were poor but generous. B. They were busy but polite. C. They were lazy but smart. D. They were stupid but friendly. 32. What happened that noon? A. The family’s house was flooded. B. The fortune-teller left the family. C. The fortune-teller gave a warning. D. The family set out for Mountain Lishan. 33. What does the underlined part “this act” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Building graves on hills. B. Sweeping ancestors’graves. C. Visiting ancestors’graves. D. Placing food on hills. 34. Chrysanthemum wine can help ________. A. show respect to our elders B. maintain health and long life C. foretell a good harvest D. drive away bad luck 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A. To encourage us to respect the elderly. B. To explain the value of keeping traditions. C. To show some Chongyang Festival customs. D. To compare Chongyang Festival customs across China. C Knife and scissors sharpening was once a popular job years ago in China. This traditional craft (手艺) has gradually disappeared from urban (城市的) life as the business simply became rare over time in modern technology times. Chen Guangfu, a 79-year-old man, has been doing the traditional business in Shenzhen for 26 years. Most of the time, he travels from one housing area to another with his tools. Chen is from Bozhou, Anhui Province. In 1961, he learned to forge (锻造) iron when he was 17. In 1997, Chen left his village job and decided to start his job in Shenzhen as a craftsman to sharpen knives and scissors. He said he likes the job as he is free to decide his working time, and it also helps to realize his value of life. Over the past 26 years, the craftsman has experienced the changes of the city and experienced the gradual disappearance of the old profession (职业). Since the 1980s, the clothing industry in Shenzhen has flourished (繁荣). And scissors are one of the □ tools for making clothes. However, with fewer and fewer clothing factories left now, lifestyle changes caused people to buy classier (优等的) knives and scissors rather than keep old ones. Knife sharpeners are therefore seldom to be found in the city today. “Shenzhen is developing too fast,” Chen said. He has seen the rapid development of the city and felt its inclusiveness (包容性) and friendliness. But Chen said he would keep on doing the job as long as he is needed. “Now it doesn’t matter to me whether I make money or not from the job. I just want to keep this skill.” 36. How old was Chen when he chose to work in Shenzhen? A. He was 17 years old. B. He was 26 years old. C. He was 53 years old. D. He was 79 years old. 37. “________” can be put in “ □ ” A. indispensable B. inexpensive C. international D. inconvenient 38. According to the passage, why are knife sharpeners unpopular now in Shenzhen? A. Those old tools are out of date and useless for people today. B. The skills of the sharpeners became worse and worse. C. It is too expensive for people to retain their old clothes. D. The lifestyle of people in Shenzhen has changed now. 39. Which words can be used to describe Shenzhen in Chen’s eyes? A. Wealthy, modern and friendly. B. Young, fashionable and beautiful. C. Developing, open-minded and nice. D. International peaceful and flourishing. 40. What do you think is the reason for Chen to keep this skill? A. Because Shenzhen is a good city. B. Because he thinks it’s valuable and useful. C. Because he has nothing to do. D. Because he can make a lot of money with this skill. 第三节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Scientists who have been studying a group of sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) in Sydney have recently made an amazing discovery: the birds know how to use public drinking fountains (喷泉式饮水器) to get water. In 2018, Dr. Barbara Klump noticed a cockatoo drinking from a public drinking fountain in Sydney. ____41____ But after looking at a video, she realized that the bird was turning on the fountain by itself. ____42____ They tagged 24 cockatoos and set up two cameras near a drinking fountain that the birds used often. Over 44 days, the cameras recorded the birds using the fountain 525 times. The scientists found that each bird did it a little differently, but they all used at least one foot to hold down the handle (把手) on the fountain and turn it on. ____43____ Once the water was running, they tried to drink from the fountain. Cockatoos are actually very intelligent birds. ____44____ The birds got water in only about 41% of their efforts to use the fountain. The birds had an especially hard time when they were in a hurry or when other cockatoos were trying to use the fountain at the same time. The scientists aren’t exactly sure why the cockatoos started using the drinking fountains. They say one possible reason is that the clean water tastes better to them than water from small pools. ____45____ There, the birds can watch out for dangerous birds while drinking. Dr. Klump says it’s also possible that the cockatoos just like the challenge of making the fountain work. A. The cockatoo is thirsty. B. Another possibility is greater safety. C. However, they didn’t always succeed. D. It’s a strange body position they have to hold. E. And some put their other foot on the water outlet (出口). F. She thought someone had forgotten to turn off the water. G. Dr. Klump’s team then decided to study the cockatoos closely. 第三部分 写作（共三节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据句意，用括号中所给词的适当形式填空。 46.
