Let’s take a closer look at famous scientists who set inspiring examples during their lifetimes. Jane Goodall Jane Goodall is a famous expert on chimpanzees (黑猩猩). When she was 18, Goodall stopped schooling and worked three jobs — as a secretary, assistant film editor, and a waitress — just to pay for her first trip to Africa. In her early 20s, she arrived in Mombasa and worked for the well-known scientist Louis Leakey. Despite lacking a degree, she spent years observing chimpanzees in the wild before earning her PhD. Goodall’s journey teaches us that hard work and determination can help us achieve our goals. Louis Pasteur Louis Pasteur was one of the most significant scientists of the 19th century. In his youth, he did not stand out academically and was more interested in art. However, he decided to pursue a career in science, applying to the top university, Ecole Normale Superieure. After initially finishing 15th in the entrance exam, he devoted another year to his studies and later ranked 4th. Pasteur’s devotion highlights the importance of willpower in achieving success. Caroline Herschel Marie Curie may be the most famous female scientist, but she was far from the first. Caroline Herschel began her career as a singer but eventually became a brilliant astronomer. She was the first woman to discover a comet (彗星) and received many honors, including being the first woman paid for her scientific work. Herschel’s story emphasizes the importance of following one’s passion. Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci was a knowledgeable person who was expert at various fields from art to science. His innovative ideas, such as drawings of flying machines and advanced engineering studies, remind us to maintain curiosity and explore diverse interests. Da Vinci’s life encourages us not to limit ourselves and to remain open-minded in our pursuit of knowledge. 1. According to the passage, what did Jane Goodall do before she started her research journey in Africa? A. She completed a university degree. B. She worked as an assistant to Louis Leakey. C. She took on three jobs simultaneously to fund her trip. D. She received funding from multiple research projects. 2. What can be inferred about Louis Pasteur’s early academic performance? A. He was the top student in his class. B. He struggled with science subjects. C. He showed no particular interest in studies. D. His initial academic performance was not outstanding. 3. Based on the passage, what do the four scientists have in common? A. They all made significant contributions to the field of biology. B. Each of them faced challenges but ultimately achieved success through perseverance. C. They were all awarded prestigious honors for their scientific discoveries. D. All of them started their careers in a different field before turning to science. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四位著名科学家，讲述了他们克服困难取得成功的历程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jane Goodall部分中“When she was 18, Goodall stopped schooling and worked three jobs — as a secretary, assistant film editor, and a waitress — just to pay for her first trip to Africa.(18岁时，古道尔辍学，同时做了三份工作——秘书、电影编辑助理和服务员——只是为了支付她第一次去非洲的费用)”可知，简·古道尔在开始她在非洲的研究之旅之前，同时做了三份工作来支付她的旅行费用。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Louis Pasteur部分中“In his youth, he did not stand out academically and was more interested in art.(年轻时，他在学业上并不出众，对艺术更感兴趣)”可知，路易斯·巴斯德早期的学业表现并不突出。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The world’s most celebrated minds didn’t have easy or obvious paths. Let’s take a closer look at famous scientists who set inspiring examples during their lifetimes.(世界上最著名的智者并没有轻松或显而易见的道路。让我们仔细看看那些著名科学家，他们在所在时代树立了鼓舞人心的榜样)”和下文对四位科学家的介绍可知，下文所列举四位著名科学家的共同点是他们的成功的道路并不轻松，都曾面对挑战，但通过坚持和努力最终取得了成功。故选B项。 B Learning new languages can be empowering, opening doors to connect with people from different cultures. Recently, a man practicing Chinese gained widespread attention after visiting a local Lanzhou noodle restaurant and speaking the language in a truly memorable way. Canadian resident Cali Lopez shared a video of his interaction with a Chinese waitress and their authentic and curious exchange quickly won praise online. The incident occurred in Saskatoon, one of Canada’s largest cities, with a growing Chinese community. Cali appeared anxious and nervous at the Lanzhou noodle restaurant before a waitress approached him. Greeting her in her native language, he nearly left her in shock. With a smile, Cali then politely asked the waitress if he could practice his Chinese and began ordering in her language. asking questions about the menu. He noticed a dish that caught his interest and asked in Chinese, “Is this sour pickle (泡菜) soup hot?” The waitress replied, “Yes, a little bit spicy.” Cali, who works as an English teacher, was fine with mild spice, replying, “Oh, I just want to order one.” When she asked about his other food preferences, he shared his desire for a dish with rice noodles. The waitress then listed the restaurant’s six types of noodles including three round and three flat varieties. Cali appeared to struggle. a bit while discussing the types of noodles in Chinese, requesting the waitress to point to the menu and explain each dish’s preparation to help him order. After some thought, he chose the thinnest of the round noodles. Curious about his language skills, Cali then asked, “Can you understand me?” and waited eagerly for her response. The waitress confirmed she could, leaving Cali visibly moved.

Called “electro-agriculture”, this system would replace traditional photosynthesis (光合作用) — a process that only changes around 1% of light energy into usable chemical energy in plants— with a solar-powered reaction that effectively changes carbon dioxide (CO₂) into an organic molecule (有机分子) that plants could use as food. The current version of electro-agriculture achieves about 4% efficiency — four times higher than photosynthesis. “Since electro-agriculture is not dependent on climate conditions like traditional farming, it could serve as a precious method for producing additional food when necessary. With global climate change affecting agriculture, new food production technologies are becoming increasingly vital to balancing food markets and supporting a growing population”, senior author Feng Jiao said. In electro-agriculture, solar plates would be used to power a chemical reaction between CO₂ and water, producing acetate (醋酸盐). Plants would be reengineered to use this acetate as a primary energy source instead of relying on photosynthesis. Plants naturally have a metabolic (新陈代谢的) pathway that allows them to break down food stored in their seeds, but this pathway is deactivated once the plant starts using photosynthesis. The bioengineering team aims to reactivate this process in mature plants so they can “eat” acetate as an energy source. Robert Jinkerson, a biological engineer, sees this technology as a major move forward. “If we don’t need to grow plants with sunlight anymore, then we can decouple agriculture from the environment and grow food in indoor, controlled environments,” he said. The change could move agriculture into upright, multi-story indoor farms where solar power is collected outside the building to drive plant growth inside. So far, researchers have engineered plants that can use acetate in combination with photosynthesis, but the ultimate goal is to create plants that rely entirely on acetate for energy. While plant research is still in its early stages, other species like mushrooms have already naturally used acetate as an energy source. This means the technology could be applied to these food-producing beings much sooner in the market. 8. What is the key to electro-agriculture? A. Promoting energy change efficiency. B. Increasing plants’ adaptation to light. C. Offering plants sufficient nutrition. D. Reproducing photosynthesis indoors. 9. What did Feng Jiao take electro-agriculture as? A. A short-term fix for climate change. B. A valuable solution for food supply. C. A new exploration of traditional farming. D. A possible replacement for organic farming. 10. How does electro-agriculture support plants? A. By breaking down more acetate. B. By shining them in man-made light. C. By restarting their metabolic pathways. D. By preventing CO₂from reacting with water. 11. What does the underlined word “decouple” mean in paragraph 5? A. Protect. B. Separate. C. Recover. D. Choose. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生物工程师引入的一种新的食品生产方法，这种方法可能会极大地重塑农业，有可能使其更加环保，并适应太空等环境，这个系统被称为“电子农业”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“…this system would replace traditional photosynthesis (光合作用) — a process that only changes around 1% of light energy into usable chemical energy in plants — with a solar-powered reaction that effectively changes carbon dioxide (CO₂) into an organic molecule (有机分子)that plants could use as food. The current version of electro-agriculture achieves about 4% efficiency — four times higher than photosynthesis.(它将取代传统的光合作用——在植物中，光合作用只能将大约1%的光能转化为可用的化学能——而太阳能反应可以有效地将二氧化碳转化为植物可以用作食物的有机分子。目前的电子农业可以达到4%的效率，是光合作用的四倍)”可知，电子农业系统的关键就是提升能量转化的效率。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Since electro-agriculture is not dependent on climate conditions like traditional farming, it could serve as a precious method for producing additional food when necessary. With global climate change affecting agriculture, new food production technologies are becoming increasingly vital to balancing food markets and supporting a growing population(由于电子农业不像传统农业那样依赖于气候条件，它可以作为一种宝贵的方法，在必要时生产额外的食物。随着全球气候变化对农业的影响，新的粮食生产技术对于平衡粮食市场和支持不断增长的人口变得越来越重要)”可知，冯娇认为在全球变化和人口增长背景下电子农业是一个有价值的食物供应解决方案。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Plants naturally have a metabolic (新陈代谢的) pathway that allows them to break down food stored in their seeds, but this pathway is deactivated once the plant starts using photosynthesis. The bioengineering team aims to reactivate this process in mature plants so they can “eat” acetate as an energy source.(植物天生有一种代谢途径，使它们能够分解储存在种子中食物，但一旦植物开始利用光合作用，这一途径就会失效。生物工程团队的目标是在成熟的植物中重新激活这一过程，这样它们就可以“吃”醋酸盐作为能量来源)”可知，电子农业是通过重新激活失效的代谢途径。故选C项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后“grow food in indoor, controlled environments(在室内可控的环境中种植粮食)”可推测，电子农业使农业种植与环境分离，不再依赖阳光等自然气候，由此推测，划线词的意思是“分离”。故选B项。 D The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is growing quickly. AI tools are now being developed to help doctors understand medical scans, support diagnosis, and even manage hospital tasks like bed arrangements. While this technology promises to improve healthcare, it also brings new challenges, especially when it comes to responsibility when something goes wrong. Experts are concerned about who should be responsible if a patient is harmed while using an AI system. Professor Derek Angus from the University of Pittsburgh said there will be cases where people look for someone to blame when a problem occurs. However, it is often difficult to know whether the mistake was made by the doctor, the hospital, or the AI designer. A recent report published by a group of doctors, lawyers, and technology experts points out that patients may find it hard to prove that an Al tool was at fault. They may not understand how AI works or be able to show that a different design would have been safer. Also, hospitals and tech companies may blame each other, making legal action even more complicated. Another problem is that many AI tools are used in real healthcare settings before they are fully tested. Professor Michelle Mello from Stanford Law School explained that although courts can handle these cases, the process will be slow and costly at first. This creates uncertainty for everyone involved. The report also suggests that better testing and digital infrastructure are needed. Surprisingly, the most widely used Al tools are often the least evaluated. Therefore, experts recommend more investment in proper evaluation to ensure that AI tools are both safe and effective for patients. 12. What hospital task can AI tools help manage according to the text? A. Training new doctors. B. Arranging hospital beds. C. Preparing medical supplies. D. Checking patients’ temperature. 13. What can we infer about legal cases involving AI-related patient harm? A. Patients will easily win such cases. B. Courts will refuse to accept these cases. C. They will be simple and low-cost to handle. D. They may involve arguments between hospitals and tech firms. 14. What do we know about the current evaluation of AI tools in healthcare? A. It is enough to ensure AI tools’ safety. B. It has already met experts’ requirements. C. It needs more investment to be improved. D. It is more thorough for widely used AI tools. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The rapid growth of AI in medicine. B. Improving AI testing and infrastructure. C. Responsibility for AI errors in healthcare. D. Patient challenges with proving AI faults. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能在医学领域应用增长迅速，同时带来新挑战，尤其是出错时的责任问题及改进建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“AI tools are now being developed to help doctors understand medical scans, support diagnosis, and even manage hospital tasks like bed arrangements.(人工智能工具目前正在开发中，以帮助医生理解医学扫描、支持诊断，甚至管理医院任务，如病床安排。)”可知，人工智能工具可以帮助管理医院安排病床的任务。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A recent report published by a group of doctors, lawyers, and technology experts points out that patients may find it hard to prove that an AI tool was at fault. They may not understand how AI works or be able to show that a different design would have been safer. Also, hospitals and tech companies may blame each other, making legal action even more complicated.(最近，由一群医生、律师和技术专家发布的一份报告指出，患者可能很难证明人工智能工具存在过错。他们可能不了解人工智能的工作原理，也无法证明采用不同的设计会更安全。此外，医院和科技公司可能会互相指责，使得法律诉讼更加复杂。)”可知，涉及人工智能相关患者伤害的法律案件可能涉及医院和科技公司之间的争论。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, experts recommend more investment in proper evaluation to ensure that AI tools are both safe and effective for patients.(因此，专家建议加大对适当评估的投资，以确保人工智能工具对患者既安全又有效。)”可知，目前医疗保健领域的人工智能工具评估需要更多投资来改进。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“While this technology promises to improve healthcare, it also brings new challenges, especially when it comes to responsibility when something goes wrong.(虽然这项技术有望改善医疗保健，但它也带来了新的挑战，尤其是在出现问题时的责任问题)”以及后文围绕人工智能在医疗领域出错时的责任问题展开的讨论可知，本文主要讲述了人工智能在医疗领域应用增长迅速，同时带来新挑战，尤其是出错时的责任问题及改进建议。故选C。 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。 Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables.

The rusty needle moved aimlessly, and the cracked glass cover made it look more like a toy than a navigation tool. But Grandpa told her it was special. “This compass saved my life during the war,” he said, pressing it into her hand, “Keep it safe!” Lily shrugged and stuffed it into her backpack. She had bigger plans for summer vacation — hiking Mount Silver with her best friend, Emma. The two girls had spent months preparing. “We’ll be back by Sunday,” Lily promised her worried mother, waving the compass like a trophy (奖杯) . The first two days went perfectly. They climbed steep slopes, swam in lakes, and camped under starry skies. But on Saturday morning, disaster struck. While jumping across a rocky stream, Emma slipped and hurt her ankle. “I can’t walk,” she whispered, tears mixing with rain that had started pouring down. Lily’s heart sank. They were miles from the nearest ranger (护林员) station, and their phones had no signal. Suddenly, she remembered the compass. “Don’t worry!” she declared, pulling it out. “It’ll guide us back!” But the compass had other ideas. The needle spun wildly, pointing in every direction except home. “Useless piece of junk!” Lily shouted, throwing it against a tree. It broke into pieces, revealing a tiny rolled-up paper inside. Curious, Lily unfolded the paper. It was a hand-drawn map with faded ink, marked with symbols she didn’t recognize — a sun, a wolf, and three wavy lines. “What’s this?” Emma asked. “I think... it’s a secret route,” Lily whispered. The map showed a shortcut (捷径) through a thick forest. It was risky, but staying where they were meant spending another cold, wet night without help. With no better options, they followed the map. Emma’s ankle hurt badly with every step, and Lily’s hands shook as she held the fragile paper. Just when hope seemed lost, they spotted a small wooden cabin. So they knocked at the door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An old man answered their knock, his face lighting up at the sight of the map. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Returning home, Lily visited Grandpa in the hospital. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 An old man answered their knock, his face lighting up at the sight of the map. “You must be Grandpa’s granddaughter,” he said with a warm smile. He explained he was Grandpa’s war comrade and had helped draw the map decades ago, marking safe routes in the mountains. The old man treated Emma’s ankle and gave them dry clothes and hot soup. The next morning, he guided them to the ranger station. Before leaving, he handed Lily a new compass, saying it was a gift from her grandpa, who’d asked him to keep an eye on the route. Paragraph 2 Returning home, Lily visited Grandpa in the hospital. She hugged him tightly, holding out the broken compass and the new one. “Your old compass saved us,” she said, tearfully telling him about the map and his comrade. Grandpa’s eyes crinkled with joy. “I knew it would protect you,” he whispered. He explained the compass had hidden the map to keep the route secret for those in need. Lily realized the compass wasn’t just an antique, but a symbol of love and courage, and she promised to keep it and its story forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以旧指南针为线索，讲述了16岁的Lily在爷爷的阁楼发现一枚看似无用的旧指南针，爷爷称其在战争中救过自己的命并叮嘱她保管好，Lily却不以为意，带着它和好友Emma去银峰山徒步。途中Emma脚踝受伤、二人手机无信号，Lily拿出指南针却发现其失灵，摔碎后意外露出隐藏的秘密地图，二人循着地图找到一间木屋的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“一位老人应声开门，看到地图后，他的脸一下子亮了起来。”可知，本段可描写老人认出地图的缘由、对二人的救助，以及老人转交新指南针的举动，既呼应前文爷爷说指南针“特殊”的伏笔，又推动情节走向团圆，为下文Lily和爷爷的重逢做铺垫。 ②由第二段首句“回到家后，Lily去医院看望了爷爷。”可知，本段可描写Lily向爷爷讲述指南针的经历、爷爷揭晓指南针藏地图的初衷，以及Lily对指南针意义的新认知，完成情感与主题的升华。 2. 续写线索：木屋遇爷爷战友—获救助与新指南针—回家探望住院爷爷—讲述经历—爷爷揭秘—Lily领悟指南针的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①治疗：treated/cured ②指引：guided/led ③低语：whispered/murmured ④承诺：promised/vowed 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight ②感动的：tearfully/emotionally 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Let’s take a closer look at famous scientists who set inspiring examples during their lifetimes. Jane Goodall Jane Goodall is a famous expert on chimpanzees (黑猩猩). When she was 18, Goodall stopped schooling and worked three jobs — as a secretary, assistant film editor, and a waitress — just to pay for her first trip to Africa. In her early 20s, she arrived in Mombasa and worked for the well-known scientist Louis Leakey. Despite lacking a degree, she spent years observing chimpanzees in the wild before earning her PhD. Goodall’s journey teaches us that hard work and determination can help us achieve our goals. Louis Pasteur Louis Pasteur was one of the most significant scientists of the 19th century. In his youth, he did not stand out academically and was more interested in art. However, he decided to pursue a career in science, applying to the top university, Ecole Normale Superieure. After initially finishing 15th in the entrance exam, he devoted another year to his studies and later ranked 4th. Pasteur’s devotion highlights the importance of willpower in achieving success. Caroline Herschel Marie Curie may be the most famous female scientist, but she was far from the first. Caroline Herschel began her career as a singer but eventually became a brilliant astronomer. She was the first woman to discover a comet (彗星) and received many honors, including being the first woman paid for her scientific work. Herschel’s story emphasizes the importance of following one’s passion. Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci was a knowledgeable person who was expert at various fields from art to science. His innovative ideas, such as drawings of flying machines and advanced engineering studies, remind us to maintain curiosity and explore diverse interests. Da Vinci’s life encourages us not to limit ourselves and to remain open-minded in our pursuit of knowledge. 1. According to the passage, what did Jane Goodall do before she started her research journey in Africa? A She completed a university degree. B. She worked as an assistant to Louis Leakey. C. She took on three jobs simultaneously to fund her trip. D. She received funding from multiple research projects. 2. What can be inferred about Louis Pasteur’s early academic performance? A. He was the top student in his class. B. He struggled with science subjects. C. He showed no particular interest in studies. D. His initial academic performance was not outstanding. 3. Based on the passage, what do the four scientists have in common? A. They all made significant contributions to the field of biology. B. Each of them faced challenges but ultimately achieved success through perseverance. C. They were all awarded prestigious honors for their scientific discoveries. D. All of them started their careers in a different field before turning to science. B Learning new languages can be empowering, opening doors to connect with people from different cultures. Recently, a man practicing Chinese gained widespread attention after visiting a local Lanzhou noodle restaurant and speaking the language in a truly memorable way. Canadian resident Cali Lopez shared a video of his interaction with a Chinese waitress and their authentic and curious exchange quickly won praise online. The incident occurred in Saskatoon, one of Canada’s largest cities, with a growing Chinese community. Cali appeared anxious and nervous at the Lanzhou noodle restaurant before a waitress approached him. Greeting her in her native language, he nearly left her in shock. With a smile, Cali then politely asked the waitress if he could practice his Chinese and began ordering in her language. asking questions about the menu. He noticed a dish that caught his interest and asked in Chinese, “Is this sour pickle (泡菜) soup hot?” The waitress replied, “Yes, a little bit spicy.” Cali, who works as an English teacher, was fine with mild spice, replying, “Oh, I just want to order one.” When she asked about his other food preferences, he shared his desire for a dish with rice noodles. The waitress then listed the restaurant’s six types of noodles, including three round and three flat varieties. Cali appeared to struggle. a bit while discussing the types of noodles in Chinese, requesting the waitress to point to the menu and explain each dish’s preparation to help him order. After some thought, he chose the thinnest of the round noodles. Curious about his language skills, Cali then asked, “Can you understand me?” and waited eagerly for her response. The waitress confirmed she could, leaving Cali visibly moved. The one-minute video of this genuine and heartfelt exchange has received widespread praise on social media for recording a real, spontaneous (自发的) moment without any forced emotion. 4.

The Importance of Being Communicative C Bioengineers have introduced a new method of food production that could dramatically reshape agriculture, potentially making it more eco-friendly, and adaptable to environments like space. Called “electro-agriculture”, this system would replace traditional photosynthesis (光合作用) — a process that only changes around 1% of light energy into usable chemical energy in plants— with a solar-powered reaction that effectively changes carbon dioxide (CO₂) into an organic molecule (有机分子) that plants could use as food. The current version of electro-agriculture achieves about 4% efficiency — four times higher than photosynthesis. “Since electro-agriculture is not dependent on climate conditions like traditional farming, it could serve as a precious method for producing additional food when necessary. With global climate change affecting agriculture, new food production technologies are becoming increasingly vital to balancing food markets and supporting a growing population”, senior author Feng Jiao said. In electro-agriculture, solar plates would be used to power a chemical reaction between CO₂ and water, producing acetate (醋酸盐). Plants would be reengineered to use this acetate as a primary energy source instead of relying on photosynthesis. Plants naturally have a metabolic (新陈代谢的) pathway that allows them to break down food stored in their seeds, but this pathway is deactivated once the plant starts using photosynthesis. The bioengineering team aims to reactivate this process in mature plants so they can “eat” acetate as an energy source. Robert Jinkerson, a biological engineer, sees this technology as a major move forward. “If we don’t need to grow plants with sunlight anymore, then we can decouple agriculture from the environment and grow food in indoor, controlled environments,” he said. The change could move agriculture into upright, multi-story indoor farms where solar power is collected outside the building to drive plant growth inside. So far, researchers have engineered plants that can use acetate in combination with photosynthesis, but the ultimate goal is to create plants that rely entirely on acetate for energy. While plant research is still in its early stages, other species like mushrooms have already naturally used acetate as an energy source. This means the technology could be applied to these food-producing beings much sooner in the market. 8. What is the key to electro-agriculture? A. Promoting energy change efficiency. B. Increasing plants’ adaptation to light. C. Offering plants sufficient nutrition. D. Reproducing photosynthesis indoors. 9. What did Feng Jiao take electro-agriculture as? A. A short-term fix for climate change. B. A valuable solution for food supply. C. A new exploration of traditional farming. D. A possible replacement for organic farming. 10. How does electro-agriculture support plants? A. By breaking down more acetate. B. By shining them in man-made light. C. By restarting their metabolic pathways. D. By preventing CO₂from reacting with water. 11. What does the underlined word “decouple” mean in paragraph 5? A. Protect. B. Separate. C. Recover. D. Choose. D The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is growing quickly. AI tools are now being developed to help doctors understand medical scans, support diagnosis, and even manage hospital tasks like bed arrangements. While this technology promises to improve healthcare, it also brings new challenges, especially when it comes to responsibility when something goes wrong. Experts are concerned about who should be responsible if a patient is harmed while using an AI system. Professor Derek Angus from the University of Pittsburgh said there will be cases where people look for someone to blame when a problem occurs. However, it is often difficult to know whether the mistake was made by the doctor, the hospital, or the AI designer. A recent report published by a group of doctors, lawyers, and technology experts points out that patients may find it hard to prove that an Al tool was at fault. They may not understand how AI works or be able to show that a different design would have been safer. Also, hospitals and tech companies may blame each other, making legal action even more complicated. Another problem is that many AI tools are used in real healthcare settings before they are fully tested. Professor Michelle Mello from Stanford Law School explained that although courts can handle these cases, the process will be slow and costly at first. This creates uncertainty for everyone involved. The report also suggests that better testing and digital infrastructure are needed. Surprisingly, the most widely used Al tools are often the least evaluated. Therefore, experts recommend more investment in proper evaluation to ensure that AI tools are both safe and effective for patients. 12. What hospital task can AI tools help manage according to the text? A. Training new doctors. B. Arranging hospital beds. C. Preparing medical supplies. D. Checking patients’ temperature. 13. What can we infer about legal cases involving AI-related patient harm? A. Patients will easily win such cases. B. Courts will refuse to accept these cases. C. They will be simple and low-cost to handle. D. They may involve arguments between hospitals and tech firms. 14. What do we know about the current evaluation of AI tools in healthcare? A. It is enough to ensure AI tools’ safety. B. It has already met experts’ requirements. C. It needs more investment to be improved. D. It is more thorough for widely used AI tools. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The rapid growth of AI in medicine. B. Improving AI testing and infrastructure. C Responsibility for AI errors in healthcare. D. Patient challenges with proving AI faults. 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。 Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables.

The rusty needle moved aimlessly, and the cracked glass cover made it look more like a toy than a navigation tool. But Grandpa told her it was special. “This compass saved my life during the war,” he said, pressing it into her hand, “Keep it safe!” Lily shrugged and stuffed it into her backpack. She had bigger plans for summer vacation — hiking Mount Silver with her best friend, Emma. The two girls had spent months preparing. “We’ll be back by Sunday,” Lily promised her worried mother, waving the compass like a trophy (奖杯) . The first two days went perfectly. They climbed steep slopes, swam in lakes, and camped under starry skies. But on Saturday morning, disaster struck. While jumping across a rocky stream, Emma slipped and hurt her ankle. “I can’t walk,” she whispered, tears mixing with rain that had started pouring down. Lily’s heart sank. They were miles from the nearest ranger (护林员) station, and their phones had no signal. Suddenly, she remembered the compass. “Don’t worry!” she declared, pulling it out. “It’ll guide us back!” But the compass had other ideas. The needle spun wildly, pointing in every direction except home. “Useless piece of junk!” Lily shouted, throwing it against a tree. It broke into pieces, revealing a tiny rolled-up paper inside. Curious, Lily unfolded the paper. It was a hand-drawn map with faded ink, marked with symbols she didn’t recognize — a sun, a wolf, and three wavy lines. “What’s this?” Emma asked. “I think... it’s a secret route,” Lily whispered. The map showed a shortcut (捷径) through a thick forest. It was risky, but staying where they were meant spending another cold, wet night without help. With no better options, they followed the map. Emma’s ankle hurt badly with every step, and Lily’s hands shook as she held the fragile paper. Just when hope seemed lost, they spotted a small wooden cabin. So they knocked at the door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An old man answered their knock, his face lighting up at the sight of the map. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Returning home, Lily visited Grandpa in the hospital. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
