B Gitanjali Rao,born in 2005,is an Indian American writer and scientist.Her parents,whe both worked in edueation,enceuraged her curiosity and love for learning When she was four years old,her uncle gave her a science set.This small gift got her very interested in how things work.At seven,she 第3页/共12页 earned the title Davidson Young Scholar because of her strong skills in science and math. In 2017,Rao won the first place in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge.This brought her wide attention.She decided to use her talents to solve real problems.After learning about unsafe drinking water in Flint,Michigan,she created Tethys.This device tests water for dangerous lead and sends results to a phone.Later,she designed Kindly,an app that uses computer smarts to find hurtful online messages early.She also built Epione,a tool to help doctors spot signs of drug addiction.

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (Al)is causing increased deadly air pollution.AI requires huge computer processing,demanding constant electricity from power plants and backup generators.This pollution is projected to cause over 1,000 early deaths yearly in the U.S.by 2030,with public health costs nearing $20 billion annually due to illnesses and missed work or school days. Despite these impacts,the problem appears overlooked by the tech industry."If you examine tech companies'sustainability reports,they mention carbon emissions (and water use,but completely ignore harmful air pollutants already damaging public health,"explains Shaolei Ren,a study author. The research team recommends that tech companies report air pollution from their electricity use and generators.They also call for proper compensation for communities suffering the worst health 第4页/共12页 effects from this pollution. Notably,AI-related air pollution harms certain low-income neighborhoods more severely,partly because they often sit closer to power sources.Furthermore,pollution spreads across state boundaries. "Data centers pay local taxes,"Ren notes,"but health impacts reach nationwide.Other affected areas receive no compensation."For example,pollution from Virginia data centers spreads into seven neighboring regions As tech companies compete to launch new AI services,dangerous air pollutants-especially tiny particles entering lungs-are expected to rise sharply.By 2030,health damage from AI pollution could match that of all vehicles in California. "AI's growth hugely increases demand for data centers and energy,making it the fastest-growing energy user across all industries,"Ren states.Training just one major AI model creates pollution equal to 10,000 car trips between Los Angeles and New York. "If your relatives have asthma or heart conditions,this pollution may harm them today.This serious health problem cannot wait,"Ren warns. 24.What do tech company reports fail to include about environmental impact? A.Carbon emissions data. B.Water conservation efforts. C.Power plants'costs. D.Harmful air pollutants. 25.What does the underlined word "compensation"in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A.Scientific research on air quality. B.Medical treatment for illnesses C.Money or support for losses suffered. D.New equipment to reduce pollution. 26.Why does Ren say pollution spreads"nationwide"? A.To show all affected communities require attention. B.To prove generators are inefficient. C.To encourage relocation from cities D.To argue for higher local taxes 27.What is the main concern of the text? A.Tech companies ignore pollution problems. B.AI growth creates severe air pollution and health dangers. C.Data centers consume too much water. D.AI development reduces job opportunities. D Recent research challenges decades of belief about money and happiness.While past studies claimed wealth weakly affects happiness in rich nations,new findings prove income comparison powerfully shapes joy.The key is"relative wealth"-feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone. Researchers analyzed 357 global surveys covering 2.3 million people.Participants ranked 第5页/共12页 themselves on a 10-level“status ladder(地位等s级)”comparing their position to society.Results revealed social comparison drives over 70%of money's impact on happiness-far outweighing actual resources."Money gains power when measured against others,"explains lead researcher Dr.Lee The researchers also found that the effect of social comparison was stronger in countries,such as Singapore.Resource competition forces constant social evaluation.Yet upward comparisons often backfire.As Mark Twain observed,"Comparison is the death of joy."Having just a little more money than your parents doesn't bring much satisfaction,because nowadays the neighbors are clearly much wealthier. Critically,economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness.Why?The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains.True well-being requires advancing both personally and relatively within society's position ladder.Lawmakers thus must balance wealth creation with fair competition policies. 28.How does the study measure"relative wealth"? A.By researching job satisfaction forms. B.By analyzing spending habits. C.By measuring education levels. D.By using a 10-level status ladder. 29.Why does the author mention Mark Twain's words? A.To emphasize Singapore's uniqueness. B.To indicate money's declining importance. S.To criticize social comparison D.To claim historical wisdom. 30.What can be inferred about traditional economic policies? A.They prioritize education over wealth. B.They ignore resource competition. C.They overvalue absolute income growth. D.They effectively use social comparison. 31.What can be the suitable title for the text? A.Why Money Fails to Buy Joy in Modern Society. B.The Hidden Power of Relative Wealth Comparison. C.Education vs.Income:New Research Findings. D.Absolute Wealth:Real Path to Happiness. 第二节七选五（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。 The Thais have always had a deep love for fresh fish.However,for decades,the waters close to Thailand have been emptied of fish.32.The farther the fishermen sailed,the longer it took to bring the fish back to the market.By the time they arrived,the fish were no longer fresh.
