B
Like many teens, I often felt that my best friend was my diary. I’d enter my bedroom in a terrible mood, but as the sentences took shape on the page, whatever was troubling me no longer felt like quite as much of a disaster. I wasn’t able to remove my deep sadness, but often I felt calmer.
These moments always brought to mind a scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in which the headteacher at Hogwarts, AI bus Hogwarts, takes out upsetting memories with his magic stick and places them in a shallow bowl called the “Pensieve”. In this way, he can view things without emotional interference (干扰). Writing, for me, provided the same relief. As a science writer, I have been delighted to discover that the practice not only comforts a troubled soul but also improves physical health.
Given these benefits, the question arises: Why is writing so stress- relieving in the first place? One possibility is that externalizing our thoughts gives us more head space to think about other things. We now know that simply writing a to- do list can release people’s cognitive (认知的) resources for other activities, as it reduces the amount of information in their minds. This eases stress and if done before bedtime, it can even improve sleep.
However no single way will suit everyone: writing is just one tool and some may be unwilling to set out their feelings in detail. If you’d like to include it in your own mental first aid kit, though, there are some ways to maximize its benefits.
When writing about your experiences, try to keep some natural flow in a story-like way. For example, briefly describe what happened and what led to the situation. Clearly state the emotions you feel — whether it’s annoyance, depression, disappointment, or something else. Identifying these feelings accurately can help you understand them better. Also, think about how the situation shows your positive qualities or what you care about, like showing strength or kindness, or realizing how important certain friendships are.
41. What can we know about the author when he was a teenager?
A. He was unpopular with friends. B. He was active in social activities.
C. He tended to hide his true feelings. D. He had a way to adjust his emotions.
42. Why does Hogwarts use the Pensieve according to paragraph 2?
A. To share memories with others. B. To awake delighted memories.
C. To observe memories objectively. D. To find inspiration for teaching.
43. Writing gives us more space to think about other things by _________.
A. changing memory patterns B. freeing up mental capacity
C. seeking comfort from others D. generating more cognitive confidence
44. What can be inferred about writing as a stress- relief method?
A. It is a one-size-fits-all solution. B. It requires professional guidance.
C. Its role has been universally proven. D. Its effect varies from person to person.
45. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. Suggestions on expressive writing. B. Strategies for managing daily stress.
C. Importance of developing real friendship. D. Reflections on interpersonal relationships.
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. A

细节理解题。根据第一段“Like many teens, I often felt that my best friend was my diary. I’d enter my bedroom in a terrible mood, but as the sentences took shape on the page, whatever was troubling me no longer felt like quite as much of a disaster. I wasn’t able to remove my deep sadness, but often I felt calmer. (和许多青少年一样,我常常觉得我的挚友就是我的日记。我心情糟糕地走进卧室,但当文字在纸上逐渐成形时,困扰我的那些事情就不再那么令人感到绝望了。我无法消除内心的深深悲伤,但很多时候我却感觉平静了一些。)”可知,作者有调节情绪的方法。故选D。

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, no single way will suit everyone: writing is just one tool and some may be unwilling to set out their feelings in detail. (然而,没有一种方式能适用于所有人:写作只是其中一种手段,有些人可能不愿意详细地表达自己的情感。)”可知,写作作为一种缓解压力的方法,其效果因人而异。故选D。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“When writing about your experiences, try to keep some natural flow in a story-like way. For example, briefly describe what happened and what led to the situation. Clearly state the emotions you feel — whether it’s annoyance, depression, disappointment, or something else. Identifying these feelings accurately can help you understand them better. Also, think about how the situation shows your positive qualities or what you care about, like showing strength or kindness, or realizing how important certain friendships are. (撰写个人经历时,尽量用类似讲故事的方式,让内容自然流畅。比如,简要描述事件的经过以及导致该情况发生的缘由。清晰地表达你内心的情绪 —— 无论是烦躁、沮丧、失望,还是其他感受。准确地识别这些情绪,能帮助你更好地理解自己的内心状态。同时,思考一下这件事如何体现出你的优良品质或你所珍视的事物,比如展现出的勇气与善良,或是让你意识到某些友谊的珍贵之处。)”可知,最后一段主要讲了关于表达性写作的建议。故选A。
C
How AI oversight (监管) affects human decision- making is an important question in a world where AI plays an ever-larger role in everyday life. Car drivers, financial traders and air- traffic controllers already see their decisions overruled by AI systems put in place to rapidly correct poor judgment. Doctors and judges could be next.
Mr. Almog believes“ tennis is one of the most visible settings where final decision rights are given to AI”. So, he and his colleagues have studied whether tennis judges could correctly call balls in or out for nearly 100,000 points played in some 700 matches worldwide, both before and after the introduction of the hawk-Eye ball-tracking system in 2006. The AI system uses between six and ten cameras positioned around the court to create a three-dimensional representation of the ball’s movement. This can then be presented on a screen visible to players, audiences, officials and TV viewers. Players can use it to appeal against human decisions, with the AI’s judgment considered final. Bad calls from the judges are now often overturned.
The latest analysis showed that the introduction of hawk-Eye oversight has resulted in a remarkable 8% reduction in mistakes made by human officials. Most of the improvement came during the multi-shot rallies (多次击球) that followed a successful serve (发球) and return. However, when the researchers studied serves in particular, and especially in cases where the served ball landed within 20mm on either side of a line, they were surprised to see the table was turned. Before hawk-Eye, judges were more likely to call a serve out when it was in while afterwards they were more likely to wave through balls that were actually out.
Such a shift is easily understood. Human officials prefer less bothersome,overlooked faults and reputationally safer choices, despite resulting in more errors. Tennis, with clear evidence of whether a decision was right or wrong, offers a highly simplified model for AI oversight. But many of the same tendencies will be at play in fields like medicine and law, says Mr. Almog, and should be considered seriously before AI is allowed to overturn human decisions. If AI oversight is used in these fields, judges, for example, may prefer to under-accuse and doctors, on the other hand, might give over treatment.
46. Why does the author mention professionals in different fields?
A. To show people’s preference for AI systems.
B. To illustrate people’s different opinions on AI.
C. To highlight the increasing impact of AI oversight.
D. To stress the challenges of AI’s correcting poor judgment.
47. What can be inferred about the hawk-Eye ball-tracking system?
A. It leads to conflicts between players and judges.
B. It helps guarantee the fairness of a match.
C. It involves complex technical operations.
D. It simplifies the flow of the match.
48. In what situation will judges’ error rate increase after applying the AI system?
A. When the served ball hits the net.
B. When players serve within the lines.
C. When players make multi-shot rallies.
D. When the served ball is a little off the lines.
49. What is Mr. Almog’s attitude towards introducing the AI system into the medical field?
A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Contradictory.
50. Why does the author structure the text with tennis as the primary example?
A. To criticize technological overreach in non- medical domains.
B. To emphasize entertainment value for reader engagement.
C. To contrast sports with more complex fields where’ AI is inapplicable.
D. To establish a controlled scene where decision outcomes are measurable.

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“AI监管如何影响人类决策”这一主题,通过具体实例(如网球比赛中的鹰眼系统)来阐述AI在日常生活中的应用及其对人类决策方式的影响,同时还涉及了医学和法律等领域可能面临的挑战和考虑因素。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“How AI oversight (监管) affects human decision-making is an important question in a world where AI plays an ever- larger role in everyday life. Car drivers, financial traders and air-traffic controllers already see their decisions overruled by AI systems put in place to rapidly correct poor judgment. Doctors and judges could be next.(在人工智能(AI)在日常生活中扮演越来越重要角色的世界里,AI监管如何影响人类决策是一个重要问题。汽车驾驶员、金融交易员和空中交通管制员已经发现自己的决策被用来迅速纠正错误判断的AI系统推翻。接下来可能轮到医生和法官了)”可知,作者通过提到汽车驾驶、金融交易、空中交通管制、网球等不同领域中的专业人员,强调AI正在日益广泛地融入日常生活的各个方面和专业领域,其影响越来越大。故选C。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“So, he and his colleagues have studied whether tennis judges could correctly call balls in or out for nearly 100,000 points played in some 700 matches worldwide, both before and after the introduction of the hawk-Eye ball-tracking system in 2006. The AI system uses between six and ten cameras positioned around the court to create a three-dimensional representation of the ball’s movement. This can then be presented on a screen visible to players, audiences, officials and TV viewers. Players can use it to appeal against human decisions, with the AI’s judgment considered final. Bad calls from the judges are now often overturned.(因此,他和他的同事研究了在2006年引入鹰眼球追踪系统前后,网球裁判能否正确判断世界各地约700场比赛中近10万个球是界内还是界外。该AI系统使用分布在球场周围的六到十台摄像机来创建球运动的三维表示。然后,这可以在屏幕上显示给球员、观众、官员和电视观众看。球员可以利用它来对人类裁判的判决提出上诉,而AI的判决是最终的。现在,裁判的错误判决经常被推翻。)”可知,鹰眼球追踪系统有助于解决争议,并基于准确的数据做出决定,从而有助于保证比赛的公平性。故选B。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The latest analysis showed that the introduction of hawk-Eye oversight has resulted in a remarkable 8% reduction in mistakes made by human officials.(最新分析显示,鹰眼监督的引入使人类裁判的错误显著减少了8%。)”和“However, when the researchers studied serves in particular, and especially in cases where the served ball landed within 20mm on either side of a line, they were surprised to see the table was turned. Before hawk-Eye, judges were more likely to call a serve out when it was in while afterwards they were more likely to wave through balls that were actually out.(然而,当研究人员特别研究发球,特别是当发球落在界线两侧20毫米以内的情况时,他们惊讶地发现情况发生了逆转。在鹰眼系统引入之前,裁判在球在界内时更可能判球出界,而在其引入之后,他们更可能放过实际上出界的球。)”可知,AI系统在处理球只是稍微在界内或界外时会遇到困难,这会导致裁判的错误率增加。这种情况特别适用于发球稍微偏离边线时。故选D。
49题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But many of the same tendencies will be at play in fields like medicine and law, says Mr. Almog, and should be considered seriously before AI is allowed to overturn human decisions. If AI oversight is used in these fields, judges, for example, may prefer to under-accuse and doctors, on the other hand, might give over treatment.(但Almog表示,在医学和法律等领域也会出现许多相同的倾向,在允许AI推翻人类决策之前,应该认真对待这些问题。如果AI监管被用于这些领域,例如,法官可能会倾向于少定罪,而医生则可能会过度治疗。)”可知,Almog先生认为,在网球领域观察到的相同趋势也可能出现在医学等领域,因此他对允许AI在这些领域推翻人类决策持谨慎态度。故选A。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Tennis, with clear evidence of whether a decision was right or wrong, offers a highly simplified model for AI oversight.(网球有明确的证据表明一个决定是对还是错,这为人工智能的监督提供了一个高度简化的模型)”可知,作者以网球作为主要的例子来组织文章是为了建立一个可控的场景,其中决策结果是可测量的,故选D。
D
It may be a sunset, an exciting piece of orchestral music or an attractive painting — whatever gives you goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) or makes you shed a tear. Experts believe that consistently trying to find out these awe-inspiring (令人起敬畏心的) experiences could lead to a significantly happier and healthier life.
“We particularly feel awed when we encounter things that are vast or beyond our frame of reference,” said Dr. Dacher Keltner, who has been studying human emotions for decades.“And then those kinds of experiences lead to wonder, reflection and imagination.”
Keltner approaches awe in part by exploring the social, physical and mental benefits of this powerful emotion. “As a species, we are very interdependent, he said. “But the central challenge to healthy social networks, which are vital to our health, is uncontrolled self-interest.” The power of awe is that it motivates us to see beyond our own desires. Awe improves positive behavior by helping people feel as though they are part of something bigger than themselves. It quiets the voice of the self and, consequently, makes you share things and work together with other people.
But is finding wonder through art as simple as looking at a beautiful painting? The answer is complex. When we look at art that fits our understanding of the world, such as impressive landscape paintings of rolling hills, we recognize that we see beauty. But Keltner argues that awe-inspiring art happens when things run counter to our expectations — when things are out of place or turned upside down. In contrast to beauty, awe is overwhelming and mysterious.
Shock value isn’t enough, though. A study found that awe rarely occurred alongside feelings of disgust, horror, fear or anxiety. Fundamentally, what separates wonder from shock is that the former invites us to learn and grow. All this slight difference means it can sometimes be hard to recognize feelings of awe when they appear. So Keltner suggests taking careful note of various stimuli (刺激因素), like paintings, music or natural phenomena, and analyzing how they make you feel.
So let’s slow down and welcome our surroundings. Look for things that challenge our scale, both small and vast — anything from a pattern created by flowers near the sidewalk to our city’s skyline on our journey to work.
51. What are people encouraged to do in paragraph 1?
A. Seek for the sources of awe.
B. Avoid being influenced by feelings of awe.
C. Familiarize oneself with different forms of art.
D. Reflect on the meaning and significance of awe.
52. On what occasion are we especially in awe?
A. When we want to express emotions properly.
B. When we come across something unbelievable.
C. When we take part in healthy social activities.
D. When we reflect on what we have experienced.
53. What may characterize a person experiencing awe?
A. He/ She has a natural talent for leadership.
B. He/ She has a desire for personal success.
C. He/ She has a passion for creating imaginative art.
D. He/ She has a tendency to interact more with others.
54. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4?
A. Fit in with. B. Turn down. C. Go against. D. Get hold of.
55 What can be inferred from the text?
A. The world is full of the unknown.
B. Wonder goes along with different feelings.
C. Distinguishing wonder needs inner stimuli.
D. Cultivating wonder contributes to personal growth.
【答案】51. A 52. B 53. D 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍敬畏感的触发条件、积极作用及如何培养这种情感以提升生活质量。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Experts believe that consistently trying to find out these awe-inspiring experiences could lead to a significantly happier and healthier life. (专家认为,持续追寻这些令人心生敬畏的体验,能让人过上更加幸福健康的生活)”可知,人们被鼓励去寻找能带来敬畏感的事物。故选A项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We particularly feel awed when we encounter things that are vast or beyond our frame of reference. (当我们遇到宏大的、超出自身认知范围的事物时,会尤其心生敬畏)”可知,遇到令人难以置信的事物时,我们会产生强烈的敬畏感。故选B项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Awe improves positive behavior by helping people feel as though they are part of something bigger than themselves. It quiets the voice of the self and, consequently, makes you share things and work together with other people. (敬畏感能让人们觉得自己是更宏大事物的一部分,从而改善积极行为。它会平息自我的执念,进而促使人们分享事物、与他人协作)”可知,心怀敬畏的人会更愿意和他人互动。故选D项。
【54题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“But Keltner argues that awe-inspiring art happens when things run counter to our expectations — when things are out of place or turned upside down. (但凯尔特纳认为,令人心生敬畏的艺术往往诞生于事物与我们的预期run counter to时——也就是事物错位或完全反转之时)”可知,run counter to与破折号后“out of place or turned upside down”的表意一致,意为“违背、与……相反”,和Go against含义相同。故选C项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Fundamentally, what separates wonder from shock is that the former invites us to learn and grow. (从本质上来说,敬畏与震惊的区别在于,前者会促使我们去学习、去成长)”可知,培养敬畏之心有助于个人成长。故选D项。

第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,请根据短文后的要求答题。
If you have a high school senior, right about now you’re probably experiencing two kinds of thoughts. The first is, “How did high school go by so fast?” And the second is, “Why did nobody tell me how expensive having a senior would be?”
Although we all know graduation day is unavoidable and - we may have been preparing emotionally for it all year long, it goes unspoken how much expense is involved in a high school senior’s graduation. Most of us are unprepared for it. In addition to all the college preparatory (预备的) costs like the SAT test or the ACT test, test preparatory services if needed, college tours, application fees, college housing, and admission deposits (订金) there are various “senior year” costs.
And then when the end of the school year eventually rolls around and you’re totally running out of money, you have to throw a graduation party.
I don’t know about you, but by the end of my son’s senior year, my entire family was exhausted mentally, financially, and even physically. It felt like we had just finished climbing up one of the highest mountains. And none of us had anything left especially in terms of the festive (喜庆的) mood and the financial ability to even think about throwing a graduation party.
Luckily, my son didn’t fly into a rage at the decision that I wasn’t holding a party for him. My husband didn’t mind it, either. My son understood me. He didn’t feel emotionally hurt or complain to me that he had missed out a graduation party.
Instead, right after his graduation ceremony, we all headed out to dinner together, just the immediate family. It was there that we laughed and enjoyed our dessert slowly, and talked of all the amazing adventures yet to come for our new college freshman.
56. How did the author feel about a high schooler’s graduation year? (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. Why did the author’s family refuse to hold a graduation party? (no more than 5words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
58. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 5? (nor more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
59. How did the author’s family celebrate the son’s graduation? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
60. What do you think of holding a graduation party for a high school senior? And why? (no more than 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Stressed and overwhelmed.
57. Too expensive.
58. The son was understanding
59. By having a family dinner
60. It depends. It’s a way to celebrate a milestone and share joy with friends and family, but can be costly.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了高中毕业年级的家长在面临孩子毕业时可能遇到的两种情感困扰:一是感叹高中时光飞逝,二是意识到孩子高中毕业的各项费用高昂且未做好充分准备。文章还提到,在学年结束时,尽管家庭可能已经筋疲力尽,但还需筹备毕业派对,然而,作者一家因财力和心情原因最终决定不举办派对,而是通过家庭聚餐的方式庆祝孩子的毕业。
56题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第二段中“Although we all know graduation day is unavoidable and - we may have been preparing emotionally for it all year long, it goes unspoken how much expense is involved in a high school senior’s graduation. Most of us are unprepared for it. In addition to all the college preparatory (预备的) costs like the SAT test or the ACT test, test preparatory services if needed, college tours, application fees, college housing, and admission deposits (订金) there are various “senior year” costs.(虽然我们都知道毕业这一天是不可避免的,我们可能已经为这一天做了一年的心理准备,但高中毕业生毕业的花费是不言而喻的。我们大多数人对此毫无准备。除了所有的大学预科费用,如SAT考试或ACT考试、必要的考试准备服务、大学参观、申请费、大学住宿和入学押金之外,还有各种各样的“大四”费用。)”可知,作者提到了高中毕业年的昂贵费用和家庭的财务压力,以及感到精疲力尽,这些都表明作者对高中毕业年的感受是压力和不知所措。故答案为Stressed and overwhelmed。
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“And then when the end of the school year eventually rolls around and you’re totally running out of money, you have to throw a graduation party.(然后当学年结束的时候,你的钱用光了,你不得不举办一个毕业派对。)”可知,作者明确提到家庭没有举办毕业派对,是因为他们没有足够的钱,这说明了不举办派对的原因——太贵。故答案为Too expensive。
【58题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第五段中“Luckily, my son didn’t fly into a rage at the decision that I wasn’t holding a party for him. My husband didn’t mind it, either. My son understood me. He didn’t feel emotionally hurt or complain to me that he had missed out a graduation party.( 幸运的是,当我决定不为儿子举办派对时,他并没有勃然大怒。我丈夫也不介意。我儿子理解我。他没有因为错过了毕业派对而感到伤心,也没有向我抱怨。)”可知,作者提到儿子没有因为不举办派对而生气,反而理解作者的处境。这表明儿子是通情达理的。故答案为The son was understanding.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第六段中“Instead, right after his graduation ceremony, we all headed out to dinner together, just the immediate family. (相反,他的毕业典礼一结束,我们就一起出去吃饭,只有直系亲属。)”可知,作者的家庭在毕业典礼后一起去吃了顿饭,庆祝儿子的毕业,这体现了他们庆祝毕业的方式。故答案为By having a family dinner.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。根据题干“What do you think of holding a graduation party for a high school senior? And why? (你认为为高三学生举办毕业晚会怎么样?为什么?)”可知,该题目为开放性试题,回答合理即可。我认为是否要为高中生举办毕业派对取决于个人情况。毕业派对是一种庆祝重要时刻和与朋友家人分享喜悦的方式,但它也可能很昂贵。因此,如果有足够的财力和时间,并且希望与亲朋好友一起庆祝,那么举办毕业派对是一个不错的选择。但如果财力有限或不想浪费时间和金钱,也可以选择其他方式庆祝。故答案为It depends. It’s a way to celebrate a milestone and share joy with friends and family, but can be costly.

Founded in 1958, the Monterey Jazz Festival (MJF) is the world’s longest-running jazz festival. It’s a relaxing event, popular with people, especially old soldiers. Come here to have some fun.
Monterey Jazz Festival Tips
You don’t have to buy an arena (圆形剧场) ticket to see the performers,since main shows are broadcast in several places around the Monterey Jazz Festival grounds. No food, drinks, picnic baskets or alcohol can be carried in,except unopened bottles of water. Thankfully, food and drinks sold at the festival are reasonably priced for this type of event. Pets cannot go inside.Tickets are not granted re-entry, so be sure that you have everything you need before going in.
Monterey Jazz Festival Seating
The arena: The Monterey Jazz Festival arena is the platform, where several main shows take place during the festival. It’s a large, open-air venue with seating on the arena floor, in the boxes and on the bleachers (露天看台). This is where the big names are likely to perform, such as Diana Krall, Los Lobos, or Dave Brubeck.
The grounds: All of these venues are general admission, with no reserved seats. Some are inside, and others are outside.

Like many teens, I often felt that my best friend was my diary. I’d enter my bedroom in a terrible mood, but as the sentences took shape on the page, whatever was troubling me no longer felt like quite as much of a disaster. I wasn’t able to remove my deep sadness, but often I felt calmer.
These moments always brought to mind a scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in which the headteacher at Hogwarts, AI bus Hogwarts, takes out upsetting memories with his magic stick and places them in a shallow bowl called the “Pensieve”. In this way, he can view things without emotional interference (干扰). Writing, for me, provided the same relief. As a science writer, I have been delighted to discover that the practice not only comforts a troubled soul but also improves physical health.
Given these benefits, the question arises: Why is writing so stress- relieving in the first place? One possibility is that externalizing our thoughts gives us more head space to think about other things. We now know that simply writing a to- do list can release people’s cognitive (认知的) resources for other activities, as it reduces the amount of information in their minds. This eases stress and if done before bedtime, it can even improve sleep.
However, no single way will suit everyone: writing is just one tool and some may be unwilling to set out their feelings in detail. If you’d like to include it in your own mental first aid kit, though, there are some ways to maximize its benefits.
When writing about your experiences, try to keep some natural flow in a story-like way. For example, briefly describe what happened and what led to the situation. Clearly state the emotions you feel — whether it’s annoyance, depression, disappointment, or something else. Identifying these feelings accurately can help you understand them better. Also, think about how the situation shows your positive qualities or what you care about, like showing strength or kindness, or realizing how important certain friendships are.
41. What can we know about the author when he was a teenager?
A. He was unpopular with friends. B. He was active in social activities.
C. He tended to hide his true feelings. D. He had a way to adjust his emotions.
42. Why does Hogwarts use the Pensieve according to paragraph 2?
A. To share memories with others. B. To awake delighted memories.
C. To observe memories objectively. D. To find inspiration for teaching.
43. Writing gives us more space to think about other things by _________.
A. changing memory patterns B. freeing up mental capacity
C. seeking comfort from others D. generating more cognitive confidence
44. What can be inferred about writing as a stress- relief method?
A. It is a one-size-fits-all solution. B. It requires professional guidance.
C. Its role has been universally proven. D. Its effect varies from person to person.
45. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. Suggestions on expressive writing. B. Strategies for managing daily stress.
C. Importance of developing real friendship. D. Reflections on interpersonal relationships.
C
How AI oversight (监管) affects human decision- making is an important question in a world where AI plays an ever-larger role in everyday life. Car drivers, financial traders and air- traffic controllers already see their decisions overruled by AI systems put in place to rapidly correct poor judgment. Doctors and judges could be next.
Mr. Almog believes“ tennis is one of the most visible settings where final decision rights are given to AI”. So, he and his colleagues have studied whether tennis judges could correctly call balls in or out for nearly 100,000 points played in some 700 matches worldwide, both before and after the introduction of the hawk-Eye ball-tracking system in 2006. The AI system uses between six and ten cameras positioned around the court to create a three-dimensional representation of the ball’s movement. This can then be presented on a screen visible to players, audiences, officials and TV viewers. Players can use it to appeal against human decisions, with the AI’s judgment considered final. Bad calls from the judges are now often overturned.
The latest analysis showed that the introduction of hawk-Eye oversight has resulted in a remarkable 8% reduction in mistakes made by human officials. Most of the improvement came during the multi-shot rallies (多次击球) that followed a successful serve (发球) and return. However, when the researchers studied serves in particular, and especially in cases where the served ball landed within 20mm on either side of a line, they were surprised to see the table was turned. Before hawk-Eye, judges were more likely to call a serve out when it was in while afterwards they were more likely to wave through balls that were actually out.
Such a shift is easily understood. Human officials prefer less bothersome,overlooked faults and reputationally safer choices, despite resulting in more errors. Tennis, with clear evidence of whether a decision was right or wrong, offers a highly simplified model for AI oversight. But many of the same tendencies will be at play in fields like medicine and law, says Mr. Almog, and should be considered seriously before AI is allowed to overturn human decisions. If AI oversight is used in these fields, judges, for example, may prefer to under-accuse and doctors, on the other hand, might give over treatment.
46. Why does the author mention professionals in different fields?
A. To show people’s preference for AI systems.
B. To illustrate people’s different opinions on AI.
C. To highlight the increasing impact of AI oversight.
D. To stress the challenges of AI’s correcting poor judgment.
47. What can be inferred about the hawk-Eye ball-tracking system?
A. It leads to conflicts between players and judges.
B. It helps guarantee the fairness of a match.
C. It involves complex technical operations.
D. It simplifies the flow of the match.
48. In what situation will judges’ error rate increase after applying the AI system?
A. When the served ball hits the net.
B. When players serve within the lines.
C. When players make multi-shot rallies.
D. When the served ball is a little off the lines.
49. What is Mr. Almog’s attitude towards introducing the AI system into the medical field?
A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Contradictory.
50. Why does the author structure the text with tennis as the primary example?
A. To criticize technological overreach in non- medical domains.
B. To emphasize entertainment value for reader engagement.
C. To contrast sports with more complex fields where’ AI is inapplicable.
D. To establish a controlled scene where decision outcomes are measurable.
D
It may be a sunset, an exciting piece of orchestral music or an attractive painting — whatever gives you goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) or makes you shed a tear. Experts believe that consistently trying to find out these awe-inspiring (令人起敬畏心的) experiences could lead to a significantly happier and healthier life.
“We particularly feel awed when we encounter things that are vast or beyond our frame of reference,” said Dr. Dacher Keltner, who has been studying human emotions for decades.“And then those kinds of experiences lead to wonder, reflection and imagination.”
Keltner approaches awe in part by exploring the social, physical and mental benefits of this powerful emotion. “As a species, we are very interdependent, he said. “But the central challenge to healthy social networks, which are vital to our health, is uncontrolled self-interest.” The power of awe is that it motivates us to see beyond our own desires. Awe improves positive behavior by helping people feel as though they are part of something bigger than themselves. It quiets the voice of the self and, consequently, makes you share things and work together with other people.
But is finding wonder through art as simple as looking at a beautiful painting? The answer is complex. When we look at art that fits our understanding of the world, such as impressive landscape paintings of rolling hills, we recognize that we see beauty. But Keltner argues that awe-inspiring art happens when things run counter to our expectations — when things are out of place or turned upside down. In contrast to beauty, awe is overwhelming and mysterious.
Shock value isn’t enough, though. A study found that awe rarely occurred alongside feelings of disgust, horror, fear or anxiety. Fundamentally, what separates wonder from shock is that the former invites us to learn and grow. All this slight difference means it can sometimes be hard to recognize feelings of awe when they appear. So Keltner suggests taking careful note of various stimuli (刺激因素), like paintings, music or natural phenomena, and analyzing how they make you feel.
So let’s slow down and welcome our surroundings. Look for things that challenge our scale, both small and vast — anything from a pattern created by flowers near the sidewalk to our city’s skyline on our journey to work.
51. What are people encouraged to do in paragraph 1?
A. Seek for the sources of awe.
B. Avoid being influenced by feelings of awe.
C Familiarize oneself with different forms of art.
D. Reflect on the meaning and significance of awe.
52. On what occasion are we especially in awe?
A. When we want to express emotions properly.
B. When we come across something unbelievable.
C. When we take part in healthy social activities.
D. When we reflect on what we have experienced.
53. What may characterize a person experiencing awe?
A. He/ She has a natural talent for leadership.
B. He/ She has a desire for personal success.
C. He/ She has a passion for creating imaginative art.
D. He/ She has a tendency to interact more with others.
54. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “run counter to” in paragraph 4?
A. Fit in with. B. Turn down. C. Go against. D. Get hold of.
55. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The world is full of the unknown.
B. Wonder goes along with different feelings.
C. Distinguishing wonder needs inner stimuli.
D Cultivating wonder contributes to personal growth.

阅读下面短文,请根据短文后的要求答题。
If you have a high school senior, right about now you’re probably experiencing two kinds of thoughts. The first is, “How did high school go by so fast?” And the second is, “Why did nobody tell me how expensive having a senior would be?”
Although we all know graduation day is unavoidable and - we may have been preparing emotionally for it all year long, it goes unspoken how much expense is involved in a high school senior’s graduation. Most of us are unprepared for it. In addition to all the college preparatory (预备的) costs like the SAT test or the ACT test, test preparatory services if needed, college tours, application fees, college housing, and admission deposits (订金) there are various “senior year” costs.
And then when the end of the school year eventually rolls around and you’re totally running out of money, you have to throw a graduation party.
I don’t know about you, but by the end of my son’s senior year, my entire family was exhausted mentally, financially, and even physically. It felt like we had just finished climbing up one of the highest mountains. And none of us had anything left especially in terms of the festive (喜庆的) mood and the financial ability to even think about throwing a graduation party.
Luckily, my son didn’t fly into a rage at the decision that I wasn’t holding a party for him. My husband didn’t mind it, either. My son understood me. He didn’t feel emotionally hurt or complain to me that he had missed out a graduation party.
Instead, right after his graduation ceremony, we all headed out to dinner together, just the immediate family. It was there that we laughed and enjoyed our dessert slowly, and talked of all the amazing adventures yet to come for our new college freshman.
