Operation Type Energy Per Search Daily Energy Use ChatGPT Response 0.0029kWh 621.4MWh Google Search 0.0003kWh 10.8 MWh Given the energy consumption,Al 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. 上4页 Hardware Upgrades Simple Models Use power-limited,carbon-efficient Firms choose smaller,low-energy, hardware (e.g.,IBM's 2025 new cost-effeotive models for specific chips)to cut energy use. needs. Potential Solutions Efficient Training Renewable Energy Open Source End underperforming model Build data oenters near AI firms share energy. training early;design models for regions rich in renewable saving tools instead of energy efficiency (sustainable energy. competing privately. design) 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 Al-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. 21.How much more daily energy does ChatGPT consume than Google Search?

C.follows existing regulations. D.maximizes investor's profits. 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 exhausted.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 button phone 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 arn working with.What time will you be there?or I'm running late-that's 第2页 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. 24.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. 25.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. 26.What does the author realize after shifting to the button phone? 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. 27.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. Mo Wilde's fascinating book,Free Food:Wild Plants and How to Eat Them,makes the case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves. A couple of years ago,the thin branches of an elder (bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building,gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper.Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries-reminding us who's boss.I thought it was fantastic,but the householder did not.A tree surgeon was called in. Mo Wilde would have had other ideas.In Free Food,she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes:they have a similar taste to parsley,a plant used as a herb in cooking.This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen,such as supermarkets and grocery shops,have placed between us and the natural world "We are nature,"Wilde writes."And making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that..” Free Food advocates for integration,not complete replacement.For instance,try using leaves instead of tin foil (for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing.Tables,like the "Wild Spice Conversion Chart"make wild garlic look downright basic.Do you know sneezewort produces-a similar taste to Sichuan pepper?Her suggestions even involve using plants for medicinal teas and household items.Wilde's tone is encouraging and her expertise and experience make you trust her,and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page. Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than recipes.Since reading Free Food,I've found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app, though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are.The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature,one plant at a time. 上4页 28.Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon? A.To remove the elder branches. B.To repair the blinds. C.To get another elder tree planted. D.To replace the wallpaper. 29.Where does Mo Wilde see a gap? A.Between elder leaves and parsley. B.Between our diet and nature gifts C.Between wild food and our awareness. D.Between supermarkets and grocery shops. 30.What can the underlined word "sneezewort"refer to in paragraph 4? A.A health-care tea. B.A big leaf used as a package. C.A household cleaning article. D.A wild plant with a hot flavor. 31.What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food? A.Falling in love with cooking. B.Starting to collect leaves for recipes. C.Coming into closer contact with nature. D.Learning to draw on apps to explore plants. ① 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 (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 creative 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,whicn mostly teatured 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. 32.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. 33.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. 34.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. 第3页 35.What is the best title of the text? A.Seize the Day:The Early Bird Principlel B.The War of Innovation:Pioneers VS Settlers. C.Unlocking Originality:Please Wait a Moment. D.The Secret to Success:Delaying or Not Delaying? 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 are a couch potato or fitness enthusiast,the start of a new year is a great time to set an exercise goal.36A study of more than 1000 people found that only about half of them sustained resolutions for a year.I,for one,have tried and failed for years to tick running a half-marathon off my bucket list.If we want this year to be different,how to set yourself up for success? Well,to start,you may need to re-evaluate your resolution.Most guidance suggests establishing physical activity goals.The ones focused on achieving a certain outcome.These can include aims like walking 10,000 steps a day,or,in my case,running a half-marathon.37 That's why Christian Swann at Southern Cross University in Australia suggests that those new to working out should choose learning goals rather than performance ones.38 So,instead of aiming to walk 10.000 steps a day,you would find three new walking routes to enjoy. 39 A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise.After one year,only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week.Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so.The first was enjoyment.People who found exercise fulfilling or pleasurable were 84 per cent more likely to work out regularly than those who didn't.Try different types of workouts until you find one that you look forward to.40 Participants who firmly believed they would still exercise even when tired,working late or going through a stressful life event were 73 per cent more likely to regularly attend the gym.And making exercise a priority is crucial too. In summary,setting yourself up for successful fitness resolutions means choosing the right goal for you making exercise fun and working out a plan to stick with it. A Commitment was also key. B.Sports safety came the second. C.The challenge,of course,is getting it through. D.There are other things to consider when creating a fitness goal. E.What should be emphasized more is to accomplish a specific result F However,outcome-based goals may actually hold back fitness ambitions. The focus is on developing strategies involved in performing a certain task. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I moved to Stockholm in October.By December,the Scandinavian winter had fully set in-days were short,and everything felt gray and41.Coming from a lively and crowded Mediterranean city,I found the silence and the 42 nature of people overwhelming.I felt lonely,a feeling that 43 with the growing darkness.

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 ()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 skilfully dribbled past them and ran to the goal.The goalkeeper was Bob,who mocked,"Gobble-gobble!"Mustafa tricked him easily and scored,.tying(打平局)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.After the celebration died down, Bob approached Mustafa quietly and apologized sincerely,"I shouldn't have made fun of you.And you're really an amazing player,"with his earlier arrogance giving way to newly-found respect.Mustafa responded with a genuine smile and extended his hand,"Everyone has something to learn."From that dayathe"gobble" sounds vanished,replaced by invitations to join games and study groups.Mustafa's triumph became more than a soccer victory-it was a bridge of understanding,proving that talent and courage can turn prejudice into friendship,and that true strength lies not in height,but in heart.Mustafa won not only the game but also a new circle of friends,who helped him feel at home in the new country.From the experience,he learned that courage and talent could bridge any divide,turning mockery into respect and isolation into inclusion-a lesson far greater than any victory on the field.)
