I first encountered the classics in university when I was pursuing a degree in English literature. But combining a lack of life experience with exams, deadlines and a desire for good grades, I didn’t get the chance to sit with them, take them apart and see how they really work.
Some 40 years later, I became an editor. A colleague suggested I read some classics and break them down into simple parts. I was interested. We made a list and I chose to reread many books I had once loved. I was curious to see how they would land decades later. Would they still matter? Could my tech-broken attention handle a long novel like Middlemarch?
Reading Middlemarch when you’re 19 is very different from reading it when you’re 60. So much of Eliot’s work on marriage, relationships, and expectations went unnoticed by my younger self. And so much of it is laugh-out-loud funny. The attention she pays to even secondary characters and the way she pairs people together who are surely to have intense interactions are masterful. I was so swept-away that I texted a friend who had also read Middlemarch in university: “You have to read it again. You won’t believe how good it is.” And how incredibly relevant, even though it was published in 1871. Maybe life has changed since then, but human nature hasn’t.
That’s why rereading classics matters. These books have stood the test of time because their authors understood something about humanity that still touches us and makes us question our motives and choices. In a practical, byte-sized world, reading them helps save what is in danger of being lost: the enjoyment of mastery in language, of characters so alive we might imagine them walking into our living room and of the ability to stand in another person’s shoes and feel what they feel.
24. The author’s classics reading experience in university can be described as ________.
A. shallow B. enjoyable C. complex D. rewarding
25. Why did the author reread the classics?
A. To recall their plots and characters. B. To appreciate writers’ literary skills.
C. To explore their appeal across decades. D. To prove her ability to read long novels.
26. What can be inferred about Middlemarch?
A. It confuses young readers a lot. B. It lacks amusing content.
C. It highlights secondary characters. D. It continues to affect life today.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. It is never too late to learn. B. Like wine, books improve with age.
C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. The more you know, the less you understand.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者从大学时为了应试而肤浅地阅读经典,到四十多岁重读经典时获得深刻理解与享受的经历,并以此论证经典跨越时间的价值以及重读的必要性。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But combining a lack of life experience with exams, deadlines and a desire for good grades, I didn’t get the chance to sit with them, take them apart and see how they really work. (但由于缺乏生活经验,加上考试、截止日期和渴望好成绩,我没有机会坐下来细细品味它们,剖析它们,看看它们到底是如何运作的)”可知,作者大学时的经典阅读只是为了应付考试和取得好成绩,没有深入理解,因此是肤浅的。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was curious to see how they would land decades later. Would they still matter? (我很好奇几十年后再读它们会是什么感受。它们还会重要吗?)”可知,作者重读经典是为了探究它们在几十年后的吸引力是否依然存在。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“And how incredibly relevant, even though it was published in 1871. (而且,尽管它出版于1871年,却依然如此地具有现实意义)”可推断,尽管《米德尔马契》年代久远,但其中探讨的内容至今仍能引发共鸣,影响着今天的生活。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“That’s why rereading classics matters. (这就是为什么重读经典很重要)”可知,作者对比了自己年轻时肤浅阅读和年长后深刻领悟的经历,表明随着年龄和阅历的增长,对同一本书的理解和欣赏会更加深刻,如同美酒陈年。故B项“Like wine, books improve with age. (如同美酒,书籍也随着岁月而醇厚)”能说明作者经历的意义。故选B项。
C
As a child, I never thought twice about the idea of zoos. They felt like a unique opportunity to see unusual animals that I would otherwise never come across, but as I grow older, I’ve realized many ethical (道德的) issues zoos raise.
The ethicality of zoos is a long-standing debate with some considering zoos unethical and others viewing them as essential for protection and research. There’s no clear right or wrong, as the topic is very complex. Instead, we should advocate for animals in captivity (圈养) by ensuring every zoo follows ethical practices.
It is easy to argue that zoos operate for humans and not animals because they want to make profits. Though there are alternatives like animal reserves that typically have less human interaction with animals, zoos still try to help protect animals.
The Henry Doorly Zoo works toward protection through programs of scientific investigation in the fields of reproductive physiology, nutrition and medicine. This allows them to emphasize professional training and research in the protection of endangered species.
A big difference between reserves and zoos is that zoos operate for research and breeding animals, while reserves help animals that can’t live by themselves in the wild. While reserves sound better for animals, the two tackle different aspects of animal care.
Zoos follow the Animal Welfare Act which sets rules for animal care, but AZA accreditation (认证) sets an even higher bar, evaluating everything from animal welfare to safety and education. AZA-accredited zoos show a strong commitment to providing a high-quality environment for animals and an enriching experience for guests, while non-accredited ones face more issues with medical care and record-keeping, demonstrating that we need to find a new way to make zoos accountable.
Maybe keeping animals in captivity isn’t the answer, but we have a responsibility to take care of animals. There isn’t a clear answer on whether zoos should be around, but it is clear that saving animals has to come first.
28. What did a zoo mean to the author when he was young?
A. A place with ethical problems. B. A wildlife research base.
C. A chance to encounter rare species. D. A profit-making organization.
29. What does the example of the Henry Doorly Zoo illustrate?
A. Zoos’ great efforts to care for animals. B. The procedure of scientific investigation.
C. The value of professional zoo staff training. D. Breakthroughs in saving endangered species.
30. What does the underlined word “accountable” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Educational. B. Responsible. C. Acceptable. D. Commercial.
31. What does the author think of zoos?
A. They fall short of standard. B. They greatly outweigh reserves.
C. They have bright prospects. D. They should ensure animals’ wellbeing.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨动物园的道德性争议,分析动物园与动物保护区的差异,指出应规范动物园运营,强调保护动物的利益才是首要原则。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They felt like a unique opportunity to see unusual animals that I would otherwise never come across, but as I grow older, I’ve realized many ethical (道德的) issues zoos raise. (这些动物园曾让我觉得是邂逅珍稀动物的绝佳机会,不然我这辈子可能都见不到它们;但随着年纪渐长,我才意识到动物园背后存在诸多道德层面的问题。)”可知,在作者小时候,动物园意味着一个能邂逅稀有物种的机会。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Henry Doorly Zoo works toward protection through programs of scientific investigation in the fields of reproductive physiology, nutrition and medicine. This allows them to emphasize professional training and research in the protection of endangered species.(亨利·多利动物园通过生殖生理学、营养学和医学领域的科学调查项目致力于动物保护。这使得该动物园能够重视濒危物种保护方面的专业培训和研究工作。)”可知,作者举亨利·多利动物园的例子是为了说明动物园为照顾和保护动物所做出的诸多努力。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中的“AZA-accredited zoos show a strong commitment to providing a high-quality environment for animals and an enriching experience for guests, while non-accredited ones face more issues with medical care and record-keeping, demonstrating that we need to find a new way to make zoos accountable.(获得美国动物园和水族馆协会认证的动物园坚定地致力于为动物提供高质量的生存环境,为游客提供丰富的体验,而未获得认证的动物园则在医疗护理和记录保存方面存在更多问题,这表明我们需要找到一种新方法让动物园承担起相应的责任。)”可知,未认证动物园存在诸多问题,因此需要让动物园承担责任,画线词的意思是“有责任的”。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Instead, we should advocate for animals in captivity (圈养) by ensuring every zoo follows ethical practices. (相反,我们应该通过确保每个动物园都遵循道德规范来维护圈养动物的权益。)”以及最后一段中的“There isn’t a clear answer on whether zoos should be around, but it is clear that saving animals has to come first.(动物园是否应该存在目前没有明确的答案,但显而易见的是,拯救动物必须放在首位。)”可知,作者认为动物园无论是否存在,都应该保障动物的福祉。故选D项。

Being more careful in which AI models we use for tasks could potentially save 31.9 terawatt-hours of energy this year alone.
Tiago da Silva Barros at the University of Cote d’Azur and his colleagues looked at 14 different tasks people use generative AI tools for, ranging from text generation to speech recognition. They then examined public leaderboards for how different models perform. The energy consumption of the models during inference was measured. “Based on the size of the model, we estimated the energy consumption, and then we can use the data for further calculations,” says da Silva Barros.
Their research found that, across all 14 tasks, switching from the best-performing to the most energy-efficient models for each task reduced energy use by 65.8 percent, while only making the output 3.9 percent less useful. They were surprised by how much could be saved.
However, getting users to pick the most efficient models “is unlikely to result in limiting the energy increase, at least for now,” says Chris Preist at the University of Bristol. “Reducing energy per prompt (提示词) will simply allow more customers to be served more rapidly with more complex reasoning options,” he says.
“So, energy savings would require change from both users and AI companies,” says da Silva Barros. “We have to think in the direction of running small models, even if we lose some of the performance,” he says. “And companies, when they develop models, it’s important they share some information on the model which allows the users to understand and evaluate whether the model is very energy consuming or not.”
Sasha Luccioni at Hugging Face points out that any research in this space only relies on external estimates and analysis. “What we need, to do these kinds of more complex analyses, is more data from AI companies,” she says. “This will allow researchers and policy-makers to make informed plans and decisions.”
32. What does the research mainly focus on?
A. Behavior patterns of AI users. B. Energy efficiency of AI models.
C. Estimation of AI performance. D. Methods of AI energy measurement.
33. What is Chris Preist’s major concern?
A. The research results are unreliable. B. Users won’t adopt green AI models.
C. Energy savings may not actually happen. D. Quicker AI responses will reduce service quality.
34. What needs to be done according to Tiago da Silva Barros and Sasha Luccioni?
A. Slow down AI progress for now. B. Increase the use of smaller AI models.
C. Develop more powerful AI models. D. Encourage openness from AI companies.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Advances at a Great Cost. B. Smarter AI Choices Save Energy.
C. AI Consumes Too Much Energy. D. AI Future Remains Up in the Air.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了通过选择更节能的人工智能模型来节省能源的潜力,以及实现这一目标所面临的挑战和解决方案。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They then examined public leaderboards for how different models perform. The energy consumption of the models during inference was measured.(然后,他们查看了不同模型表现的公开排行榜,并测量了模型在推理过程中的能源消耗。)”可知,这项研究主要关注的是人工智能模型的能源效率。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Reducing energy per prompt will simply allow more customers to be served more rapidly with more complex reasoning options.(减少每个提示词的能源消耗只会让更多的客户能够更快地获得更复杂的推理选项。)”可知,Chris Preist担心的是,即使减少了每个提示词的能源消耗,但由于用户需求增加,总的能源消耗可能并不会减少,即节能可能实际上不会发生。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“And companies, when they develop models, it’s important they share some information on the model which allows the users to understand and evaluate whether the model is very energy consuming or not.(公司在开发模型时,重要的是要分享一些关于模型的信息,让用户能够理解和评估该模型是否非常耗能。)”和最后一段“What we need, to do these kinds of more complex analyses, is more data from AI companies.(为了进行这些更复杂的分析,我们需要的是来自人工智能公司的更多数据。)”可知,Tiago da Silva Barros和Sasha Luccioni都认为需要人工智能公司更加开放,分享更多关于模型的信息和数据。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要探讨了通过选择更节能的人工智能模型来节省能源的潜力,以及实现这一目标所面临的挑战和解决方案,由此可知,文章强调的是通过明智的选择人工智能模型来节省能源。B项“更智能的人工智能选择,助力节能降耗。”可作为本文最佳标题。故选B。

【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:自古以来,竹制品一直是夏季消暑的实用工具,深受人们喜爱。固定搭配be favored as,意为“被推崇为”,用介词as。故填as。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:在中国古代,人们在日常生活中娴熟地使用竹子,制作家居用品甚至衣物。此处修饰动词used,用skillful的副词形式skillfully,意为“娴熟地,巧妙地”。故填skillfully。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:这些发明不仅体现了实用的智慧,也体现了中国人“与自然和谐相处,生活才会舒适”的理念。此处与practical构成名词短语,作reflect的宾语,用wise的名词形式wisdom,意为“智慧”,为不可数名词。故填wisdom。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:竹制服饰的历史可以追溯到唐代,当时一种名为竹纱的特殊织物首次出现。固定搭配date back to,意为“追溯到”,用一般现在时,与主语是主动关系,主语The history为第三人称单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式dates。故填dates。
【60题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:到了清代,竹制服饰广为流行,并被介绍给外国游客,他们常常对这种材料的柔软和透气性感到惊讶。根据并列谓语动词“became”可知,此处描述过去的动作,bamboo clothing与introduce为被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为was introduced。故填was introduced。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:许多西方游客此前见过丝绸和棉布,几乎无法想象用竹子做的衣服能如此轻盈舒适。此处see的动作发生在could hardly imagine之前,且与主语Many Western travelers为主动关系,用现在分词的完成式having seen。故填having seen。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:许多西方游客此前见过丝绸和棉布,几乎无法想象用竹子做的衣服能如此轻盈舒适。此处与light并列作表语,用comfort的形容词形式comfortable,意为“舒适的”。故填comfortable。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一些商人开始将竹制品带到国外,这些制品最终成为中国工艺和环保生活方式的象征。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为bamboo products,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,用关系代词which。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过这种方式,竹制服装——这一被全球认可的绿色时尚产品——成为了文化交流的桥梁,展示了这种古老的材料如何将世界各地的人们紧密联系在一起。此处bamboo clothing与recognize为被动关系,用过去分词recognized,作后置定语,意为“被认可的”。故填recognized。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:通过这种方式,竹制服装——这一被全球认可的绿色时尚产品——成为了文化交流的桥梁,展示了这种古老的材料如何将世界各地的人们紧密联系在一起。此处表泛指“一座桥梁”,bridge是以辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a。故填a。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
The final whistle blew and the basketball game was over. The Hawks won again. Abby shouted, leaping from the bench (长凳) and cheering loudly. Thirteen games, thirteen wins — the best record the team had ever had. But Abby hadn’t made much of a contribution. Her playing time totaled only about ten minutes for the entire season. As she walked toward Coach McKenzie and her teammates, she overheard someone saying under their breath that she was basically a cheerleader in a basketball uniform. Her heart sank and tears filled her eyes.
Coach McKenzie praised the whole team and singled out Kathy for her excellent free throws (罚球). Thinking of the countless hours she had spent practicing shots after school, Abby felt like shouting, “I can shoot well too! — if I could just get in the game!”
That evening, Mom drove Abby home silently. She always knew when it was best to say nothing. After finishing homework, Abby grabbed her basketball and rushed outside to practice. Mom came up behind her. Abby sighed, murmuring that she knew she should be satisfied just to be on the team, and launched a jump shot. “Not this time, Abby,” Mom replied, passing the ball back. “I just want to say that I’m proud of you for hanging in there and I believe, your time will come.”
The last game of the season came, and the gym was packed. The crowd erupted as the second half began. Abby watched closely as the players ran up and down the court. The score stayed close, and the Hawks were one point behind with only ten minutes left. “Come on, Hawks,| Abby breathed.
Suddenly, Kathy, the star player, stole the ball but fell hard and got injured when another player ran into her. She couldn’t continue, so the judge approached the bench and told Coach McKenzie that someone had to take Kathy’s place and shoot the two free throws. Coach scanned her reserves. Her eyes landed on Abby, the girl who always stayed late to practice.
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。
Abby was called up to step in for Kathy.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the loud cheers, Abby spotted her mother in the crowd.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Abby was called up to step in for Kathy. Her heart thudded in her chest as she jogged onto the court, the crowd’s roar fading into a distant hum. She took a deep breath, recalling countless hours of solitary practice, and stepped up to the free-throw line. With a steady hand, she released the first ball, watching it arc gracefully through the net. The second shot followed suit, and the gym erupted in cheers. Abby had done it, scoring crucial points to put the Hawks ahead!
In the loud cheers, Abby spotted her mother in the crowd. Her mother was standing up, clapping wildly, her eyes shining with pride and love. Abby felt a surge of warmth and gratitude, knowing that her mother had always been her biggest supporter. As the game continued, Abby played with renewed confidence, contributing to the team’s efforts. When the final buzzer sounded, the Hawks had won, and Abby was surrounded by her teammates, who congratulated her on her outstanding performance. She knew that this moment would be a cherished memory.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Hawks篮球队再次获胜,但Abby在整个赛季中上场时间极少,贡献不大。她听到有人议论自己不过是穿着篮球服的啦啦队员,心中难过。教练表扬了全队,特别提到了Kathy的出色罚球,Abby想到自己无数次课后练习却鲜有机会上场,感到沮丧。当晚,妈妈鼓励她坚持下去。在赛季最后一场比赛中,Hawks队落后一分,此时核心球员Kathy受伤无法继续比赛,教练需要找人替补完成两次关键罚球,最终选择了总是刻苦训练的Abby。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Abby被叫来代替凯西上场了。”可知,第一段可描写Abby在关键时刻被教练叫上场替补受伤的Kathy,并成功完成两次罚球,帮助球队取得领先的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“在热烈的欢呼声中,Abby看到了人群中她的母亲。”可知,第二段可描写Abby受到妈妈的鼓舞后和队友一起赢得胜利的过程。
2.续写线索:紧张准备——罚球得分——受到鼓舞——自信比赛——最终胜利——庆祝铭记
3.词汇激活
行为类
①深呼吸:take a deep breath/breathe deeply
②走上:step up to/walk up to
③赢:win/prevail
情绪类
①欢呼:cheer/acclamation
②感激:gratitude/thankfulness
【点睛】【高分句型1】Her heart thudded in her chest as she jogged onto the court, the crowd’s roar fading into a distant hum.(由as引导的时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】When the final buzzer sounded, the Hawks had won, and Abby was surrounded by her teammates, who congratulated her on her outstanding performance. (由when引导的时间状语从句和who引导的非限制性定语从句)

I first encountered the classics in university when I was pursuing a degree in English literature. But combining a lack of life experience with exams, deadlines and a desire for good grades, I didn’t get the chance to sit with them, take them apart and see how they really work.
Some 40 years later, I became an editor. A colleague suggested I read some classics and break them down into simple parts. I was interested. We made a list and I chose to reread many books I had once loved. I was curious to see how they would land decades later. Would they still matter? Could my tech-broken attention handle a long novel like Middlemarch?
Reading Middlemarch when you’re 19 is very different from reading it when you’re 60. So much of Eliot’s work on marriage, relationships, and expectations went unnoticed by my younger self. And so much of it is laugh-out-loud funny. The attention she pays to even secondary characters and the way she pairs people together who are surely to have intense interactions are masterful. I was so swept-away that I texted a friend who had also read Middlemarch in university: “You have to read it again. You won’t believe how good it is.” And how incredibly relevant, even though it was published in 1871. Maybe life has changed since then, but human nature hasn’t.
That’s why rereading classics matters. These books have stood the test of time because their authors understood something about humanity that still touches us and makes us question our motives and choices. In a practical, byte-sized world, reading them helps save what is in danger of being lost: the enjoyment of mastery in language, of characters so alive we might imagine them walking into our living room and of the ability to stand in another person’s shoes and feel what they feel.
24. The author’s classics reading experience in university can be described as ________.
A. shallow B. enjoyable C. complex D. rewarding
25. Why did the author reread the classics?
A. To recall their plots and characters. B. To appreciate writers’ literary skills.
C. To explore their appeal across decades. D. To prove her ability to read long novels.
26. What can be inferred about Middlemarch?
A. It confuses young readers a lot. B. It lacks amusing content.
C. It highlights secondary characters. D. It continues to affect life today.
27. What does the author’s experience show?
A. It is never too late to learn. B. Like wine, books improve with age.
C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. The more you know, the less you understand.
C
As a child, I never thought twice about the idea of zoos. They felt like a unique opportunity to see unusual animals that I would otherwise never come across, but as I grow older, I’ve realized many ethical (道德的) issues zoos raise.
The ethicality of zoos is a long-standing debate with some considering zoos unethical and others viewing them as essential for protection and research. There’s no clear right or wrong as the topic is very complex. Instead, we should advocate for animals in captivity (圈养) by ensuring every zoo follows ethical practices.
It is easy to argue that zoos operate for humans and not animals because they want to make profits. Though there are alternatives like animal reserves that typically have less human interaction with animals, zoos still try to help protect animals.
The Henry Doorly Zoo works toward protection through programs of scientific investigation in the fields of reproductive physiology, nutrition and medicine. This allows them to emphasize professional training and research in the protection of endangered species.
A big difference between reserves and zoos is that zoos operate for research and breeding animals, while reserves help animals that can’t live by themselves in the wild. While reserves sound better for animals, the two tackle different aspects of animal care.
Zoos follow the Animal Welfare Act which sets rules for animal care, but AZA accreditation (认证) sets an even higher bar, evaluating everything from animal welfare to safety and education. AZA-accredited zoos show a strong commitment to providing a high-quality environment for animals and an enriching experience for guests, while non-accredited ones face more issues with medical care and record-keeping, demonstrating that we need to find a new way to make zoos accountable.
Maybe keeping animals in captivity isn’t the answer, but we have a responsibility to take care of animals. There isn’t a clear answer on whether zoos should be around, but it is clear that saving animals has to come first.
28. What did a zoo mean to the author when he was young?
A. A place with ethical problems. B. A wildlife research base.
C. A chance to encounter rare species. D. A profit-making organization.
29. What does the example of the Henry Doorly Zoo illustrate?
A. Zoos’ great efforts to care for animals. B. The procedure of scientific investigation.
C. The value of professional zoo staff training. D. Breakthroughs in saving endangered species.
30. What does the underlined word “accountable” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Educational. B. Responsible. C. Acceptable. D. Commercial.
31. What does the author think of zoos?
A. They fall short of standard. B. They greatly outweigh reserves.
C. They have bright prospects. D. They should ensure animals’ wellbeing.
D
Being more careful in which AI models we use for tasks could potentially save 31.9 terawatt-hours of energy this year alone.
Tiago da Silva Barros at the University of Cote d’Azur and his colleagues looked at 14 different tasks people use generative AI tools for, ranging from text generation to speech recognition. They then examined public leaderboards for how different models perform. The energy consumption of the models during inference was measured. “Based on the size of the model, we estimated the energy consumption, and then we can use the data for further calculations,” says da Silva Barros.
Their research found that, across all 14 tasks, switching from the best-performing to the most energy-efficient models for each task reduced energy use by 65.8 percent, while only making the output 3.9 percent less useful. They were surprised by how much could be saved.
However, getting users to pick the most efficient models “is unlikely to result in limiting the energy increase, at least for now,” says Chris Preist at the University of Bristol. “Reducing energy per prompt (提示词) will simply allow more customers to be served more rapidly with more complex reasoning options,” he says.
“So, energy savings would require change from both users and AI companies,” says da Silva Barros. “We have to think in the direction of running small models, even if we lose some of the performance,” he says. “And companies, when they develop models, it’s important they share some information on the model which allows the users to understand and evaluate whether the model is very energy consuming or not.”
Sasha Luccioni at Hugging Face points out that any research in this space only relies on external estimates and analysis. “What we need, to do these kinds of more complex analyses, is more data from AI companies,” she says. “This will allow researchers and policy-makers to make informed plans and decisions.”
32. What does the research mainly focus on?
A. Behavior patterns of AI users. B. Energy efficiency of AI models.
C. Estimation of AI performance. D. Methods of AI energy measurement.
33. What is Chris Preist’s major concern?
A. The research results are unreliable. B. Users won’t adopt green AI models.
C. Energy savings may not actually happen. D. Quicker AI responses will reduce service quality.
34. What needs to be done according to Tiago da Silva Barros and Sasha Luccioni?
A. Slow down AI progress for now. B. Increase the use of smaller AI models.
C. Develop more powerful AI models. D. Encourage openness from AI companies.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Advances at a Great Cost. B. Smarter AI Choices Save Energy.
C. AI Consumes Too Much Energy. D. AI Future Remains Up in the Air.

The final whistle blew and the basketball game was over. The Hawks won again. Abby shouted, leaping from the bench (长凳) and cheering loudly. Thirteen games, thirteen wins — the best record the team had ever had. But Abby hadn’t made much of a contribution. Her playing time totaled only about ten minutes for the entire season. As she walked toward Coach McKenzie and her teammates, she overheard someone saying under their breath that she was basically a cheerleader in a basketball uniform. Her heart sank and tears filled her eyes.
Coach McKenzie praised the whole team and singled out Kathy for her excellent free throws (罚球). Thinking of the countless hours she had spent practicing shots after school, Abby felt like shouting, “I can shoot well too! — if I could just get in the game!”
That evening, Mom drove Abby home silently. She always knew when it was best to say nothing. After finishing homework, Abby grabbed her basketball and rushed outside to practice. Mom came up behind her. Abby sighed, murmuring that she knew she should be satisfied just to be on the team, and launched a jump shot. “Not this time, Abby,” Mom replied, passing the ball back. “I just want to say that I’m proud of you for hanging in there and I believe, your time will come.”
The last game of the season came, and the gym was packed. The crowd erupted as the second half began. Abby watched closely as the players ran up and down the court. The score stayed close, and the Hawks were one point behind with only ten minutes left. “Come on, Hawks,| Abby breathed.
Suddenly, Kathy, the star player, stole the ball but fell hard and got injured when another player ran into her. She couldn’t continue, so the judge approached the bench and told Coach McKenzie that someone had to take Kathy’s place and shoot the two free throws. Coach scanned her reserves. Her eyes landed on Abby, the girl who always stayed late to practice.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
