All this takes energy and other resources like water. A single query(提问) to ChatGPT uses between 0.6 and1.5 watt hours of electricity (the same as keeping an LED light on for 4 to 13 minutes).This compares with a single search using 0.2watt hours of electricity in some web search engines. Using the chatbot for between 10 and50 queries requires about two litres of water,according to experts from University of California, Riverside. There are officially 500million regular users of the chatbot, and Altman recently suggested the real figure could be closer to a billion people. Politeness can, however, give you better results from AI chatbots, a recent paper from Waseda University concluded. It is also found that being rude increased the chances of incorrect answers, or refusal to answer. A post on the Microsoft website described the AI models as“a giant prediction machine”. So when it clocks politeness, it's probably polite back. Henry Shevlin, associate director of the Leverhulme Centre, said it was important to have some perspectives(视角) on the environmental issue.“AI training runs do have a significant environmental input (投入), but individual queries are completely insignificant,”he said. A forthcoming article he coauthored found that a single fast food restaurant had a water footprint four times that of the training for an AI model. 1.How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example. C. By making a comparison. D. By quoting someone's words. 2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. LED lights are environmentally friendly. B. Searching websites need more energy than ChatGPT. C. Heavy use of ChatGPT requires a large amount of water. D. Water is used to measure (衡量) the processing power of AI chatbot. 3.语言能力归纳能力 What is Paragraph3 mainly about? A. The disadvantages of AI chatbots. B. The working principle of AI chatbots. C. The results of talking with AI chatbots. D. The influence of politeness on AI chatbots. 4.语言能力分析能力 What is Henry Shevlin's attitude towards the environmental influence of AI? A. Worried. B.Fair. C. Uninterested. D.Doubtful. B It was a Tuesday night. In my apartment, I was doing three things at once—packing for a trip, trying to get dinner on the table and taking turns with my husband to calm a crying baby.Behind me, one work message after another popped up on my computer screen. I ignored them all. During dinner, a text appeared on my phone:“Where are u???” asked my colleague(同事). I didn't reply to the text. This wasn't the first time I'd ignored a digital summons(召唤).▲ , but I was also aware of what I wanted my silence to communicate: This is not a priority for me now. For those who want to be polite, text- based digital communications can be extremely demanding(费力的). Ignoring a text message or an email feels rude, but should it? Cal Newport, the author of A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, has argued in his book that the etiquette of digital communications is and should be different from that of in- person or phone conversation,especially when it comes to the back and forth of hellos, goodbyes and other pleasantries(打趣话).“In an in- person conversation it can feel rude not to finalize an exchange,” he explained.“ But in the background of digital communication, the sender often prefers avoiding getting additional messages when possible.” Besides, in an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens, it is essential to prioritize our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives: when we're on vacation;when it's after 7 p.m.; when we're at the dinner table. It's also worth asking yourself who pushes you to reply right away. Perhaps it's not the message sender, but you. A recent study found that we tend to overestimate our colleagues' expectations for non- urgent work emails outside of work hours. So instead of criticizing yourself for not responding right away, consider slowing down and giving yourself a break. ( )5.Which of the following can be put in“▲”? A. I didn't mean to be disrespectful B. I was just too busy to check my phone C. I didn't see the text from my colleague D. I thought my colleague would know my situation ( )6. How does Cal Newport view the etiquette of digital communication compared to that of in person conversation? A. It should be the same. B. It should be given up. C. It should be more formal. D. It should be less demanding. ( )7. What should we do according to the last paragraph? A. Remember to put our family in the first place. B. Find a good way to balance our work and life. C. Realize the urgency and importance of our work. D. Avoid pushing ourselves to respond to messages immediately. ( )8.Which of the following questions can be answered in the text? A. Is it always rude to ignore digital communications? B. Does politeness matter a lot in digital communications? C. Why should we depend less on digital communications? D. How can we express ourselves in digital communications? 四、词汇检测(每题1分，满分10分) A.根据所给首字母提示写出单词。 1. I'm p to see you all. It's been ten years since we graduated from high school. 2.

First, 2.s clear goals for cultural learning is crucial. Vague goals like“learning Korean culture” will confuse you. Instead, try specific ones:“I'll learn 3 Korean table manners this month.” This helps track progress and keep interest. Respecting local customs is another must.There's no 3.m shortcut(捷径) to it.Even strange customs should be followed to avoid offense. A tourist once took off shoes before entering a Korean home— this small act made the 4. h feel respected. Patience matters too. You'll face awkward moments and misunderstandings.

Start today, and you'll be surprised at how much you can achieve.Wonderful experiences await— all you need is to take that first 10. s . 六、阅读与回答问题(每题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 One of the challenges in communication is saying“no” when you need to. Often we promise to do things even when we should refuse. This leads to stress when we break our promise, and we then feel bad for not keeping our word and lose trust for not keeping our promise. Do you say“no” to your friends? Charmer: Never. I come from India. For me,refusing people is difficult, especially when they are my friends. My parents also told me that refusing the elderly is considered disrespectful and discouraged. Judy: No, I don't. I am afraid that every time I do this, I will disappoint someone, make them angry and hurt their feelings. The person might think I am unkind or rude. John: Yes, I do. My value does not depend on how much I do for other people. And learning to say“no” has been one of the best things I have done for myself. Learning how to say“no” is a great thing you can do for yourself. You won't let your work overload, and you'll have time to do what really matters to you. Remember that the best way to learn how to say“no” is to practise more. But in saying“no” you still need some skills. The U-S-A method works very well here. It stands for: Understanding: It is important to show the other persons that you understand the inconvenience they will experience. If they don't feel your understanding, they could become upset and difficult. Show understanding with a sincere statement(表述). Situation: Explain exactly why you will have to refuse that person's request. Action: It is acceptable to tell the person whom you are refusing, what you can and will do. In most cases, when you show empathy(同情) with an understanding statement, explain the situation, and tell the person what you do,you will comfort that person. You will be effectively and politely saying“no” without causing anger and unhappiness. 1. How may people feel when they break the promise? 2. Who hasn't said“no” to friends? 3. What's the best way to learn how to say“no”? 4. Please fill in the blanks. (1) (2) 5. What do you think of the U-S-A method?Why do you think so? 七、书面表达(满分 19 分) (2025·常州中考)假如你校英文报发起了关于学生说脏话现象的讨论，请你根据以下提示，写一篇英语短文投稿，谈谈你对他人说脏话的观点和建议。 提示:1. Why shouldn't we say dirty words? 2.

The best way is to practise more. 4. (1) U: Understanding (2) S: Situation 5. (开放题，合理即可) It is helpful because it provides a polite and structured way to refuse without hurting others. 七、书面表达（参考范文） I really don't think it's right for students to say dirty words. Firstly, dirty words are disrespectful and can hurt others' feelings. They also create a negative atmosphere and make people uncomfortable. Moreover, using such language shows a lack of self-control and damages our image. To help others stop saying dirty words, we can politely remind them when they use bad language and explain why it’s harmful. We can also set a good example by speaking kindly and respectfully ourselves. Encouraging positive communication and praising polite behavior can also make a difference. Let's work together to create a more respectful and friendly environment at school. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
