Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 4. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 5. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support to the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’conditions. 7. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A shift in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了卡兰斯通过建立Wild Shaale项目来改变学生对野生动物的看法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals.(但在她的家乡，孩子们从小就对野生动物持消极态度。大象毁坏了庄稼，有时人们严重受伤或死亡。卡兰斯发现，孩子们不会欣赏这样一个事实：这里是观看非凡动物的最佳地点)”可知，卡兰斯的家乡面临问题是人类与野生动物的冲突。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning.(该项目专为经常接触野生动物的学生设计，旨在培养对野生动物和野生空间的真正理解，并超越野生动物的耐受性，了解保护和环境问题的概念。保育教育计划填补了环境学习的空白)”可知，Karanth启动Wild Shaale项目是为了改变学生对野生动物的看法。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.”(虽然幸运的是，基础环境教育得到了当地政府的支持，但Karanth认为，挑战在于课程的质量，以及课程是否有效和持续。“你必须想象这些学校是什么样子。他们可能没有电——更别提有电脑、互联网、ipad或任何东西了。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了项目的障碍。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors.(鼓励学生发现自己和动物之间的共同点是改变观念和行为的第一步)”可知，卡兰斯想在这个项目中实现人类态度和行为的转变。故选A。 C An ancient diamond found in Botswana contains a never-before-seen mineral that came from deep inside Earth. The mineral — named davemaoite — provides a unique window into deep — Earth chemistry. Originally dug up in a mine in Orapa, Botswana, the diamond is about 4 millimetres wide and weighs 81 milligrams. A dealer sold it in 1987 to a scientist, but neither the dealer nor the scientist had any idea how special it was. The diamond was more recently analysed by Oliver Tchauner at the University of Nevada. Most diamonds form 120 to 250 kilometres underground. Tchauner and his teammates realised that the Botswana diamond was from the lower mantle (地幔) which begins 660 kilometres below the surface. After examining it using X- rays, they discovered tiny crystals of another mineral trapped inside. The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before. They named the new calcium silicate mineral davemaoite in honour of deep-Earth scientist Ho- Kwang“ Dave” Mao. Normally, davemaoite’s crystal structure would break apart if it was brought up to Earth’s surface because of the massive drop in pressure. But because it was trapped inside a diamond, it was preserved on its long journey up to the Orapa mine.“ When we broke open the diamond, the davemaoite stayed intact for about a second, and then we saw it expand under the microscope and basically turn into glass,” says Tchauner. The molecules (分子) within it take on a particular cubic (立方体的) arrangement known as a perovskite structure. This structure shows it could only have formed under the extreme conditions experienced in the lower mantle, where the pressure is more than 200, 000 times that found at Earth’s surface. Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 percent of Earth’s lower mantle, and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and potassium-40 that heat Earth as they degenerate. Without these radioactive elements, the Earth would have cooled by now. 8. What do we know about the mineral davemaoite? A. It was named in memory of a great politician. B. It was discovered as soon as the diamond was found. C. It had never actually been found before the discovery. D. It had been stuck in a diamond 200 kilometres underground. 9. What does the underlined word “intact” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Divided. B. Overlooked. C. Hidden. D. Undamaged. 10. Why is the mineral davemaoite significant? A. Because it has a cooling effect. B. Because its internal structure is special. C. Because it contains heat-producing elements. D. Because its formation background is extreme. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the uses of a substance. B. To introduce the discovery of a mineral. C. To stress the role of deep-Earth chemistry. D. To advocate the protection of davemaoite. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种名为davemaoite的新矿物，这种矿物是在博茨瓦纳发现的一颗古老钻石中发现的，它来自地球深处，为研究地球深部化学提供了独特的窗口。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before.(这些晶体原来是一种硅酸钙，理论上存在于下地幔，但之前从未被实际观测到)”可知，davemaoite这种矿物在这次发现之前从未被实际发现过。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Normally, davemaoite’s crystal structure would break apart if it was brought up to Earth’s surface because of the massive drop in pressure. But because it was trapped inside a diamond, it was preserved on its long journey up to the Orapa mine.“ When we broke open the diamond, the davemaoite stayed … for about a second, and then we saw it expand under the microscope and basically turn into glass,” says Tchauner (通常情况下，如果将davemaoite带到地球表面，由于压力的急剧下降，其晶体结构会分解。但由于它被困在钻石内，它在前往奥拉帕矿区的漫长旅途中得以保存下来。“当我们打开钻石时，davemaoite保持了大约一秒钟的……，然后我们在显微镜下看到它膨胀并几乎变成了玻璃，”Tchauner说)”可知，当钻石被打开时，davemaoite大约在一秒钟后膨胀变成玻璃，可推理出intact意为“未损坏的”，与Undamaged意思相近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 percent of Earth’s lower mantle, and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and potassium-40 that heat Earth as they degenerate (Davemaoite被认为占地幔下部的约5%，而且很重要，因为它还可以容纳铀、钍和钾-40等放射性元素，这些元素在衰变时会为地球加热)”可知，davemaoite这种矿物很重要是因为它含有产生热量的元素。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“An ancient diamond found in Botswana contains a never- before- seen mineral that came from deep inside Earth. The mineral—— named davemaoite—— provides a unique window into deep- Earth chemistry.(在博茨瓦纳发现的一颗古老钻石中含有一种从未见过的矿物，它来自地球深处。这种被命名为davemaoite的矿物为研究地球深部化学提供了独特的窗口)”、第三段“The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before.(这些晶体原来是一种硅酸钙，理论上存在于下地幔，但之前从未被实际观测到)”以及最后一段“Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 percent of Earth’s lower mantle, and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and potassium-40 that heat Earth as they degenerate (Davemaoite被认为占地幔下部的约5%，而且很重要，因为它还可以容纳铀、钍和钾-40等放射性元素，这些元素在衰变时会为地球加热)”可知，在博茨瓦纳发现的一颗古老钻石中含有一种从未见过的矿物，它被命名为davemaoite，是一种硅酸钙，理论上存在于下地幔，但之前从未被实际观测到，Davemaoite被认为占地幔下部的约5%，而且很重要，因为它还可以容纳铀、钍和钾-40等放射性元素，这些元素在衰变时会为地球加热，由此可推理出本文的主要目的是介绍davemaoite这种新矿物的发现。故选B项。 D Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a newline. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond languages. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought. Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking. 12. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A. AI can deal with complex tasks. B. AI can simplify rhyming lines. C. AI can write texts as programmed. D. AI can plan sentences in advance. 13. How does “digital microscope” function in the research? A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs. C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought. C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning. 15. Which of the following titles best suits this text? A. The Rise of AI Chatbots B. Looking Inside AI’s Mind C. Why AI Still gets It Wrong D. Chatbots’ Language Magic 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家通过一种名为“数字显微镜”的工具，对人工智能大语言模型Claude的内部工作机制进行观察和研究，揭示了AI在处理任务时的一些复杂性和潜在问题，同时也为如何改进AI提供了线索。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme (当大型语言模型Claude得到第一行“他看到一根胡萝卜，不得不抓住它”时，它几乎立刻开始思考像“兔子”这样的词，写下下一句以合适的押韵结尾)”可知，AI在生成文本时能够提前规划句子，考虑押韵等因素。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. (这个工具，即“数字显微镜”，能让科学家们观察人工智能的神经网络在处理不同任务时，哪些部分会被激活)”可知，“数字显微镜”通过追踪AI在处理不同任务时的神经网络活动，即思考活动，来发挥其功能。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Worse still, ask a leading question—— suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong (更糟糕的是，问一个引导性问题——暗示答案“可能是4”，它会特别添加一些数字，最终使它同意这个问题，即使这个暗示是错误的)”可知，Claude可能会根据问题的暗示来编造答案，即使这些暗示是错误的。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks.(这个被称为“数字显微镜”的工具，能让科学家观察到人工智能在处理不同任务时，其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活)”，第五段“Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong (更糟糕的是，问一个引导性问题——暗示答案“可能是4”，它会特别添加一些数字，最终使它同意这个问题，即使这个暗示是错误的)”以及最后一段“But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.(但是能够洞察大语言模型的思维，为如何阻止它在未来做同样的事情提供了线索。毕竟，目标不是要做脑部手术，而是要知道它在想什么)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家通过一种名为“数字显微镜”的工具，对人工智能大语言模型Claude的内部工作机制进行观察和研究，揭示了AI在处理任务时的一些复杂性和潜在问题，同时也为如何改进AI提供了线索。可知，B选项“Looking Inside AI’s Mind(探究AI的思维)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选B。 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。 Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey.

We need better stories for this Thursday’s edition. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said. I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people’s attention.” While leaving the newsroom together, we heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a red parrot (鹦鹉) and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity (团结) among students. Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’ re a reporter for the school paper. I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry”. “This is just the story. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The background clock read 4:15 p.m. But our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 p.m Why would the boy take Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry’s caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. “He’s not missing. He’s retired, ready for some quieter days,” he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very story we need to attract more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm it would cause to the player and our paper’s reputation. After some discussion, Ashley finally gave in, “OK, let’s try with real stories.” Then I went to gather all the necessary information to write an article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over the years. On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it sparked heated discussions among students about Perry. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted by the fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story’s success, Ashley came to me and said sincerely, “You are right! It’s a good story.” Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but they have the power to touch and connect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家报社工作，他们的吉祥物佩里被迪尔菲尔德高中的篮球运动员偷走了，调查得知是佩里退休了。阿什利本来想报道被偷这件事，但是作者说明了可能对选手和报纸的声誉造成的潜在伤害。最后阿什利放弃了，他们报道了佩里退休的新闻，这一报道取得了成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，阿什利坚持要报道‘迪尔菲尔德偷走了佩里’的故事”可知，第一段可描写作者反对这一决定，说明了其中的危害以及他们最后决定报道佩里退休的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“周四，报纸头版的标题是‘再见，佩里’”可知，第二段可描写报道佩里退休的新闻产生的影响以及取得成功。 2.续写线索：阿什利坚持报道被偷——作者指出危害——阿什利让步——报道佩里——引发讨论——故事取得成功——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/illustrate ②造成：cause/contribute to ③激起：spark/arouse/ignite 情绪类 ①宝贵的：precious/valuable ②成就感：a great sense of fulfillment/ a great sense of achievement 【点睛】【高分句型1】To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie.

Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 4. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 5. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support to the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’conditions. 7. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A shift in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. C An ancient diamond found in Botswana contains a never-before-seen mineral that came from deep inside Earth. The mineral — named davemaoite — provides a unique window into deep — Earth chemistry. Originally dug up in a mine in Orapa, Botswana, the diamond is about 4 millimetres wide and weighs 81 milligrams. A dealer sold it in 1987 to a scientist, but neither the dealer nor the scientist had any idea how special it was. The diamond was more recently analysed by Oliver Tchauner at the University of Nevada. Most diamonds form 120 to 250 kilometres underground. Tchauner and his teammates realised that the Botswana diamond was from the lower mantle (地幔), which begins 660 kilometres below the surface. After examining it using X- rays, they discovered tiny crystals of another mineral trapped inside. The crystals turned out to be a form of calcium silicate that was theorised to exist in the lower mantle but had never actually been observed before. They named the new calcium silicate mineral davemaoite in honour of deep-Earth scientist Ho- Kwang“ Dave” Mao. Normally, davemaoite’s crystal structure would break apart if it was brought up to Earth’s surface because of the massive drop in pressure. But because it was trapped inside a diamond, it was preserved on its long journey up to the Orapa mine.“ When we broke open the diamond, the davemaoite stayed intact for about a second, and then we saw it expand under the microscope and basically turn into glass,” says Tchauner. The molecules (分子) within it take on a particular cubic (立方体的) arrangement known as a perovskite structure. This structure shows it could only have formed under the extreme conditions experienced in the lower mantle, where the pressure is more than 200, 000 times that found at Earth’s surface. Davemaoite is thought to make up about 5 percent of Earth’s lower mantle, and is important because it can also host radioactive elements like uranium, thorium and potassium-40 that heat Earth as they degenerate. Without these radioactive elements, the Earth would have cooled by now. 8. What do we know about the mineral davemaoite? A. It was named in memory of a great politician. B. It was discovered as soon as the diamond was found. C. It had never actually been found before the discovery. D. It had been stuck in a diamond 200 kilometres underground. 9. What does the underlined word “intact” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Divided. B. Overlooked. C. Hidden. D. Undamaged. 10. Why is the mineral davemaoite significant? A. Because it has a cooling effect. B. Because its internal structure is special. C. Because it contains heat-producing elements. D. Because its formation background is extreme. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the uses of a substance. B. To introduce the discovery of a mineral. C. To stress the role of deep-Earth chemistry. D. To advocate the protection of davemaoite. D Imagine you’re writing a poem rhymes must be paired up before you start a newline. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond languages. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought. Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking. 12. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A. AI can deal with complex tasks. B. AI can simplify rhyming lines. C. AI can write texts as programmed. D. AI can plan sentences in advance. 13. How does “digital microscope” function in the research? A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs. C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought. C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning. 15. Which of the following titles best suits this text? A. The Rise of AI Chatbots B. Looking Inside AI’s Mind C. Why AI Still gets It Wrong D. Chatbots’ Language Magic 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。 Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey.

We need better stories for this Thursday’s edition. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said. I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people’s attention.” While leaving the newsroom together, we heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a red parrot (鹦鹉) and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity (团结) among students. Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’ re a reporter for the school paper. I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry”. “This is just the story. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The background clock read 4:15 p.m. But our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 p.m Why would the boy take Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry’s caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. “He’s not missing. He’s retired, ready for some quieter days,” he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
