AI consumes large amounts of energy: a single ChatGPT response uses around 10 times the electricity of a Google search, and its more than 400 million weekly active users increase demand. DeepSeek claimed higher energy efficiency but also faced doubts, keeping AI’s energy use a persistent concern. Here is the daily energy comparison between ChatGPT and Google search.
Operation Type
Energy Per Search
Daily Energy Use
ChatGPT Response
0.0029 kWh
621.4 MWh
Google Search
0.0003 kWh
10.8 MWh
Given the energy consumption, AI adoption won’t slow as firms view it as essential, so a smart strategy is needed to employ AI’s benefits while meeting sustainable goals. Luckily, industry experts are developing various solutions to address this challenge.
The AI-related energy risks have gained visibility, triggering public awareness and action. Yet focusing on energy alone cannot break the cycle of increasing environmental and operational pressures. “To address AI-energy risks and unlock long-term value, companies and investors must move beyond their narrow roles in the AI value chain. They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment,” notes Lauren Smart in World Economic Forum.
1. How much more daily energy does ChatGPT consume than Google Search?
A. 632.2 MWh. B. 621.4 MWh. C. 610.6 MWh. D. 10.8 MWh.
2. Which of the following is an effective measure to cut AI energy use?
A. Adopting energy-saving chips. B. Selecting larger models.
C. Establishing more data centers. D. Encouraging firm competitions.
3. According to Lauren Smart, AI companies should adopt a mission that________.
A. generates shared benefit B. gains public recognition
C. follows existing regulations D. maximizes investor’s profits
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍AI能耗高的问题、ChatGPT与谷歌搜索的能耗对比,以及应对该问题的解决措施和专家的相关建议。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格中ChatGPT Response行Daily Energy Use列“621.4 MWh (621.4兆瓦时)”以及Google Search行Daily Energy Use列“10.8 MWh (10.8兆瓦时)”可知,两者的能耗差值为621.4-10.8 = 610.6 MWh。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中Potential Solutions部分左上角“Hardware Upgrades: Use power-limited, carbon-efficient hardware (e.g. IBM’s 2025 new chips) to cut energy use.(硬件升级:采用功率消耗低、碳排放量小的硬件设备(例如,IBM的2025年新芯片)以降低能源消耗)”可知,采用节能芯片可以直接减少AI运行时的能源消耗。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Lauren Smart的表述“They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment.(他们应该采取既能推进商业目标又能造福社会和环境的策略,以创造共享价值)”可知,AI公司应该采取的使命是创造共享价值。故选A项。
B
For years, as an art influencer, I lived online, documenting all aspects of my life and desiring more followers on Instagram. A constant panic over lost connections the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia. Then, everything changed.
Only after giving up my smartphone did I realize how distracted and anxious I had become. Withdrawal was difficult, but as months passed, subtle changes accumulated. When the Internet wasn’t immediately accessible, the urge to use it faded away, and parts of me that had been buried under years of digital noise surfaced. Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present.
Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there? or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.
It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there.
4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account?
A. A loss of connections.
B. A sense of personal burnout.
C. A near miss of an accident.
D. A decline of online followers.
5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2?
A. Absorbed in new hobbies.
B. Stuck in digital withdrawal.
C. Focused on quality moments.
D. Built on health and productivity.
6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone?
A. He has to rely on computers.
B. Real-time contact is much needed.
C. Close relationships are hard to maintain.
D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health.
B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility.
C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence.
D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾因沉迷Instagram而焦虑疲惫,于是停用账号,使用老式手机。他发现摆脱数字干扰后,生活更有条理,能享受闲暇时光,并重新发现生活的乐趣。作者感悟到,减少屏幕使用、提升专注度是改善生活质量的关键。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A constant panic over lost connections, the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia.(对失去联系的持续恐慌、无休止的滚动带来的空虚感,以及险些遭遇的车祸,都让我感到筋疲力尽。不堪重负,我停用了我的账户,买了一部老诺基亚手机。)”可知,作者因为感到个人疲惫不堪,包括对失去联系的恐慌、无休止刷屏的空虚感以及差点发生车祸的经历,所以决定停用Instagram账号。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano.(没有了无休止的滚动,时间又回到了我身边。我可以利用原本用于刷屏的时间来保持健康或提高效率,但我也可以用它来欣赏已经失传的闲暇艺术。我一天中的大部分时间都花在翻阅杂志、喝茶、笨拙地弹钢琴上。)”可知,作者现在的生活更注重质量时刻,比如翻阅杂志、喝茶、弹钢琴等,享受闲暇时光,而不是被数字设备所占据。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.(一些互动,比如群聊、给国外朋友和家人的信息,可能会让人觉得很紧急,但一旦我远离它们,我就会意识到这种紧迫感是软件工程、我自己的焦虑,或者两者的结合所造成的。)”可知,作者在换用非智能手机后意识到,许多原本感觉紧急的互动其实是被过度强调了紧迫感,这种紧迫感可能源于软件设计或个人焦虑。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there.(我现在带的是胶片相机而不是智能手机,刻意拍照的行为给我带来了真正的快乐。当人们问我是否想念我的智能手机时,我会回想起我上瘾最严重的时候。我一直在网上,但很少出现在现场。我怎么会想念那段时光呢?我几乎都不在那里。)”可知,作者通过降低设备等级(从智能手机到非智能手机、胶片相机),提升了在现实生活中的存在感和体验质量,享受到了真正的快乐。因此,作者的经历表明降低设备等级可以提升现实生活的体验。故选C项。
C
A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.”
The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!”
Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood.
However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications.
8. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned?
A. To explain how the brain processes smell.
B. To introduce a newly-invented tracking device.
C. To show a link between breathing and depression.
D. To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern.
9. What does the underlined word mean?
A. Connected. B. Powered.
C. Controlled. D. Trained.
10. What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood?
A. Changes in breath cure anxiety.
B. Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing.
C. Their exact relationship remains unclear.
D. Breathing is responsible for negative mood.
11. What is the main finding of this research?
A. Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health.
B. Breathing patterns link to identity and health.
C. A groundbreaking device reveals mental health.
D. Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项新研究发现呼吸模式具有独特性,可用于身份识别,且与身心健康指标存在关联。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. (以色列魏茨曼科学研究所的科学家发现,每个人都有独特的呼吸模式,被称为鼻呼吸“指纹”,这种独特的模式能揭示出一个人身心健康的相关线索。)”可知,提到呼吸“指纹”是为了强调个人呼吸模式的独特性。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired—and be unique to each of us? (人类的大脑在吸气过程中处理气味信息,大脑与呼吸之间的这种紧密联系让研究团队产生了一个疑问:我们的呼吸模式是否能反映出大脑的连接方式——并且每个人的模式都是独一无二的呢?)”可知,此处“wired”指的是大脑内部的神经连接方式,与“Connected”意思相近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. (重要的是,研究人员指出,他们只知道呼吸和情绪之间存在关联,但并不知道两者之间的因果关系——究竟是焦虑情绪改变了呼吸,还是某种呼吸模式引发了焦虑。)”可知,呼吸和情绪之间的确切关系目前仍不明确。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are.(一项新研究发现,呼吸的作用绝不仅仅是让空气在肺部进出 —— 它甚至还能用来识别个人身份。)”以及第四段中的“Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. (除了用于身份识别外,该研究还发现呼吸模式与身体质量指数、睡眠-觉醒周期以及焦虑、抑郁等心理健康特征之间存在明显关联。)”可知,这项研究的主要发现是呼吸模式与身份识别和健康状况都存在关联。故选B项。
D
In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught.
Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea: procrastination (拖延) might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的)thinking rather than“seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy.
Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time.
In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers.
Settlers are often labelled as copycats, but this stereotype misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which mostly featured basic sports games. A settler, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System. It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing.
12. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding?
A. He who hesitates is lost.
B. More speed, less effect.
C. Strike while the iron is hot.
D. No pains, no gains.
13. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To support a viewpoint.
B. To correct a misconception.
C. To introduce a practice.
D. To promote a phenomenon.
14. What plays a key role in settlers’ success based on Golder’s findings?
A. Doing effective marketing.
B. Mastering strategic timing.
C. Employing high technology.
D. Breaking existing rules.
15. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?
A. Seize the Day: The Early Bird Principle!
B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Settlers.
C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment.
D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying?
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出,与快速行动相比,拖延可能更有利于原创性。研究显示,拖延能为发散性思维提供时间。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas, like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent thinking rather than ‘seizing and freezing’ on one particular strategy.(当他们立即开始任务时,他们倾向于提出传统的想法,比如再开一家便利店。当Shin随机分配一些参与者推迟任务去玩电脑游戏时,他们产生了更多新颖的想法,比如辅导中心或存储设施。进一步的实验表明,玩游戏或休息都不能提高创造力。Shin总结说,当你拖延一项任务时,你为自己赢得了进行发散性思维的时间,而不是‘抓住并固定’在某一个特定的策略上。)”可知,Shin的研究发现,拖延任务可以为发散性思维赢得时间,从而产生更多新颖的想法,而不是急于行动导致效果不佳。因此,选项B“More speed, less effect.(欲速则不达)”最能体现Shin的发现。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time.(拖延可能是生产力的敌人,但它也可以成为创造力的资源。早在工业革命的效率热潮之前,古代文明就已经认识到了这一点。在古埃及,拖延有两个不同的动词:一个表示懒惰;另一个表示等待合适的时机。)”可知,本段通过引用古埃及对拖延的不同理解,来支持拖延可以是创造力的资源这一观点,与第二段中Shin的研究发现相呼应。因此,本段的目的是支持一个观点,即拖延可以是创造力的资源。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers.(在一项经典研究中,市场研究人员Peter Golder分析了数百个品牌,比较了先驱公司和先驱公司创造市场后进入的较慢的定居者。结果令人震惊:先驱者的失败率是定居者的六倍。)”以及第五段中“Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new.(他们不是满足现有的需求,而是等到准备好推出新东西的时候。)”可知,根据Golder的研究发现,定居者之所以成功,关键在于他们掌握了战略时机,即等待合适的时机推出新产品或服务,而不是急于满足现有需求。因此,选项B“Mastering strategic timing.(掌握战略时机)”是定居者成功的关键因素。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了拖延对创造力的积极作用,以及先驱者和定居者在市场进入时机上的不同策略。文章通过Shin的研究和Golder的研究发现,强调了拖延在激发创造力和掌握战略时机方面的重要性。因此,文章最可能选自一本关于如何激发创造力的书籍,选项C“Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment.( 释放创意:请稍等片刻。)”与文章主题相符。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
A trip to the supermarket has now become more than a simple shopping experience. In fact, it is now carefully designed psychological persuasion. Shopkeepers know how to create an environment that makes customers buy more than they planned. For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food.
____16____
Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. ____17____ If a certain item seems popular, customers naturally believe it is worth buying.
With the help of modern technology, some supermarkets now provide real-time purchasing information.As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product. ____18____ This model, known as a “swarm move”, increases sales without offering discounts simply because it makes customers feel confident about choosing what everyone else buys.
____19____ When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags. Even being alone, they think they are shopping independently, and they are still influenced by others’ choices.
All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making. ____20____
A. The idea behind this approach is simple.
B. Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket.
C. The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online.
D. This method reassures shoppers that they are making the“right” choice.
E. People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping.
F. As a result, these items sell more quickly than cheaper, less visible products.
G. That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. D 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出超市购物已成为心理操纵。通过香味、群体影响和科技手段(如显示购买人数),超市诱导顾客消费。这种策略在线上平台也普遍存在,表明消费者常受隐性心理暗示影响而非理性决策。
【16题详解】
上文提到“For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food.(例如,新鲜出炉的面包的香味会让顾客感到饥饿,并下意识地增加他们购买食物的欲望。)”,这说明了面包香味对顾客购买行为的影响。B选项“Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket.(因此,这鼓励他们把更多的食物放进购物篮。)”承接上文,进一步说明了面包香味如何具体影响顾客的购买行为,即让他们购买更多的食物,符合题意。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文提到“Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence.(现在研究人员正在研究人们购买决策中受影响的方式如何用群体智能来解释。)”,这引出了群体智能这一概念。G选项“That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd.(也就是说,蜜蜂或任何社会性动物,包括人类,在群体中的行为方式。)”对群体智能进行了具体解释,即像蜜蜂或人类这样的社会性动物在群体中的行为方式,符合题意。故选G。
【18题详解】
上文提到“As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product.(当顾客走过货架时,一个小屏幕可能会告诉他们有多少其他顾客选择了某种产品。)”,这说明了超市通过提供实时购买信息来影响顾客的购买决策。D选项“This method reassures shoppers that they are making the‘right’ choice.(这种方法让顾客确信他们正在做出“正确”的选择。)”承接上文,进一步说明了这种实时购买信息如何影响顾客的心理,即让他们觉得自己做出了正确的选择,从而增加购买的可能性,符合题意。故选D。
【19题详解】
下文提到“When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags.(当顾客在家时,他们仍然倾向于在网上跟随大众。像亚马逊这样的网站会显示排名、推荐和“最常购买”标签。)”,这说明了在线购物平台也运用了类似的心理学策略来影响顾客的购买决策。C选项“The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online.(同样的心理学策略也适用于在线平台。)”引出了下文,说明在线购物平台和实体超市在影响顾客购买决策方面采用了相似的策略,符合题意。故选C。
【20题详解】
上文提到“All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making.(所有这些策略都表明,现代消费者往往受到微妙心理暗示的引导,而不是理性决策。)”,这总结了前文关于超市和在线购物平台如何运用心理学策略影响顾客购买决策的内容。E选项“People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping.(人们可能没有注意到,但他们在购物时不断受到引导。)”承接上文,进一步强调了顾客在购物过程中往往受到各种心理暗示的引导,而自己可能并未察觉,符合题意。故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mustafa stood nervously in front of his sixth-grade class on his first day in America. His teacher introduced him as a new student from Turkey. Before he could sit down, a big boy named Bob pressed his fist to his mouth and made a strange sound — “Gobble-gobble!” Laughter broke out. Mustafa had no idea what it meant, but he knew it wasn’t friendly.
Later, Sam, a quiet boy who sat in front of him, explained, “Bob is making fun of you. ‘Gobble’ is the sound of a turkey — the bird Americans eat on Thanksgiving.” Mustafa forced a smile, but the teasing only grew worse. In the following days, Bob gobbled in the hallway, at the water fountain, even during break. Though Mustafa tried to ignore him, the sound followed him everywhere. Mustafa, who was much shorter than Bob, was running out of patience.
The turning point came when a soccer game was announced before Thanksgiving celebration. Mustafa’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news that they would be divided into two teams to play, because he grew up playing soccer, or “futbol” as he called it, Turkey’s national sport. But when captains chose teams, he was picked last. Apparently, they doubted his skills because of his short and slim figure. Captain Oliver even sent him to the bench, saying he’d put him in after they took the lead.
Heartbroken yet determined, Mustafa practiced alone on the bench. His skills were impressive — dribbling(带球), kneeing, and heading the ball with precision. The entire class watched in amazement. “Come on in,” Oliver, finally said. On the field, Oliver passed him the ball. “We’re down 3-2 — hurry!” Mustafa’s talent shone when he finally played. Two defenders rushed him, but Mustafa skillfully dribbled past them and ran to the goal. The goalkeeper was Bob, who mocked, “Gobble-gobble!” Mustafa tricked him easily and scored, tying the game.
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。
With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again. His heart pounded with excitement and determination. He dribbled the ball with incredible speed, weaving through the remaining defenders as if they were mere obstacles in his path. The crowd, both his teammates and opponents, watched in awe. As he approached the goal, he could see Bob standing there, his eyes wide with anticipation. Mustafa didn’t hesitate; he took a powerful shot, sending the ball flying past Bob’s outstretched hands and into the net. The final whistle blew, and Mustafa’s team had won, 4-3.
Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly. He couldn’t believe how wrong he had been about Mustafa. The new boy wasn’t just good at soccer; he was amazing. Bob walked over to Mustafa, his face red with shame. “I’m sorry,” he muttered, “I was wrong about you. You’re really talented.” Mustafa smiled, accepting the apology. From that day on, Bob stopped teasing Mustafa and even became one of his biggest fans. They became friends, and Mustafa finally felt like he belonged in his new school.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述了来自土耳其的六年级新生Mustafa初到美国遭Bob取笑,在感恩节前的足球赛中,他起初被轻视坐冷板凳,后上场凭借出色球技帮助球队逆转获胜,Bob羞愧道歉,二人成为朋友,Mustafa终融入新学校。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“还剩两分钟,Mustafa再次拿到了球。”可知,第一段可描写Mustafa在比赛最后时刻再次拿到球后的表现,他凭借出色球技突破防守,射门得分,带领球队赢得比赛。
②由第二段首句内容“当Mustafa的队友们大声欢呼时,Bob尴尬地低下了头。”可知,第二段可描写Bob对Mustafa态度的转变,从之前的嘲笑到现在的道歉和认可,两人最终成为朋友,Mustafa也融入了新学校。
2. 续写线索:拿到球——突破防守——射门得分——赢得比赛——Bob道歉——成为朋友——融入学校

AI consumes large amounts of energy: a single ChatGPT response uses around 10 times the electricity of a Google search, and its more than 400 million weekly active users increase demand. DeepSeek claimed higher energy efficiency but also faced doubts, keeping AI’s energy use a persistent concern. Here is the daily energy comparison between ChatGPT and Google search.
Operation Type
Energy Per Search
Daily Energy Use
ChatGPT Response
0.0029 kWh
621.4 MWh
Google Search
0.0003 kWh
10.8 MWh
Given the energy consumption, AI adoption won’t slow as firms view it as essential, so a smart strategy is needed to employ AI’s benefits while meeting sustainable goals. Luckily, industry experts are developing various solutions to address this challenge.
The AI-related energy risks have gained visibility, triggering public awareness and action. Yet focusing on energy alone cannot break the cycle of increasing environmental and operational pressures. “To address AI-energy risks and unlock long-term value, companies and investors must move beyond their narrow roles in the AI value chain. They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment,” notes Lauren Smart in World Economic Forum.
1. How much more daily energy does ChatGPT consume than Google Search?
A. 632.2 MWh. B. 621.4 MWh. C. 610.6 MWh. D. 10.8 MWh.
2. Which of the following is an effective measure to cut AI energy use?
A. Adopting energy-saving chips. B. Selecting larger models.
C. Establishing more data centers. D. Encouraging firm competitions.
3. According to Lauren Smart, AI companies should adopt a mission that________.
A. generates shared benefit B. gains public recognition
C. follows existing regulations D. maximizes investor’s profits

For years, as an art influencer, I lived online, documenting all aspects of my life and desiring more followers on Instagram. A constant panic over lost connections the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia. Then, everything changed.
Only after giving up my smartphone did I realize how distracted and anxious I had become. Withdrawal was difficult, but as months passed, subtle changes accumulated. When the Internet wasn’t immediately accessible, the urge to use it faded away, and parts of me that had been buried under years of digital noise surfaced. Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present.
Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there? or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.
It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there.
4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account?
A. A loss of connections.
B. A sense of personal burnout.
C. A near miss of an accident.
D. A decline of online followers.
5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2?
A. Absorbed in new hobbies.
B. Stuck in digital withdrawal.
C. Focused on quality moments.
D. Built on health and productivity.
6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone?
A. He has to rely on computers.
B. Real-time contact is much needed.
C. Close relationships are hard to maintain.
D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health.
B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility.
C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence.
D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency.
C
A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.”
The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!”
Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood.
However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications.
8. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned?
A. To explain how the brain processes smell.
B. To introduce a newly-invented tracking device.
C. To show a link between breathing and depression.
D. To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern.
9. What does the underlined word mean?
A. Connected. B. Powered.
C. Controlled. D. Trained.
10. What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood?
A. Changes in breath cure anxiety.
B. Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing.
C. Their exact relationship remains unclear.
D. Breathing is responsible for negative mood.
11. What is the main finding of this research?
A. Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health.
B. Breathing patterns link to identity and health.
C. A groundbreaking device reveals mental health.
D. Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods.
D
In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught.
Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea: procrastination (拖延) might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的)thinking rather than“seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy.
Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time.
In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers.
Settlers are often labelled as copycats, but this stereotype misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which mostly featured basic sports games. A settler, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System. It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing.

A trip to the supermarket has now become more than a simple shopping experience. In fact, it is now carefully designed psychological persuasion.

____19____ When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags. Even being alone, they think they are shopping independently, and they are still influenced by others’ choices.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mustafa stood nervously in front of his sixth-grade class on his first day in America. His teacher introduced him as a new student from Turkey. Before he could sit down, a big boy named Bob pressed his fist to his mouth and made a strange sound — “Gobble-gobble!” Laughter broke out. Mustafa had no idea what it meant, but he knew it wasn’t friendly.
Later, Sam, a quiet boy who sat in front of him, explained, “Bob is making fun of you. ‘Gobble’ is the sound of a turkey — the bird Americans eat on Thanksgiving.” Mustafa forced a smile, but the teasing only grew worse. In the following days, Bob gobbled in the hallway, at the water fountain, even during break. Though Mustafa tried to ignore him, the sound followed him everywhere. Mustafa, who was much shorter than Bob, was running out of patience.
The turning point came when a soccer game was announced before Thanksgiving celebration. Mustafa’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news that they would be divided into two teams to play, because he grew up playing soccer, or “futbol” as he called it, Turkey’s national sport. But when captains chose teams, he was picked last. Apparently, they doubted his skills because of his short and slim figure. Captain Oliver even sent him to the bench, saying he’d put him in after they took the lead.
Heartbroken yet determined, Mustafa practiced alone on the bench. His skills were impressive — dribbling(带球), kneeing, and heading the ball with precision. The entire class watched in amazement. “Come on in,” Oliver, finally said. On the field, Oliver passed him the ball. “We’re down 3-2 — hurry!” Mustafa’s talent shone when he finally played. Two defenders rushed him, but Mustafa skillfully dribbled past them and ran to the goal. The goalkeeper was Bob, who mocked, “Gobble-gobble!” Mustafa tricked him easily and scored, tying the game.
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。
With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly.
