Wildfires fueled by extreme winds have swept across the Pacific Palisades area in Los Angeles County, destroying countless structures and forcing the evacuation (撤离) of more than 30,000 people.
As of 9:30 pm ET, more than 2,900 acres have burned, fire officials said. The powerful Santa Ana winds are challenging firefighting efforts. The evacuation order includes more than 10,000 homes and thousands of businesses. Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said on Tuesday afternoon during a news conference, “We are not out of danger,” warning that the most significant threat will be between 10 pm and 5am PT when the Santa Ana winds will be at their fiercest. Marrone urged people to be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice overnight.
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park, who represents the area, described the situation as “terrifying”. She urged people to “be packed and ready to go” if people are told to evacuate. Already, tens of thousands of people have been ordered to leave their homes and businesses as the fires are spreading violently into neighborhoods. Park says “it may take a couple of days” to get the situation under control and “it may be some time before people can return to their homes.”
As of 9:30 pm EST Tuesday, about 25,000 homes and businesses had their power cut off as crews battle the Palisades Fire. California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency as the fire continued to burn through Los Angeles County and more residents have been ordered to evacuate in the fire zones north and west of Los Angeles. Newsom toured some of the neighborhoods consumed by wildfires. He applauded the efforts of crews to pre-position firefighters, aircraft and other equipment ahead of the predicted firestorm. While this news conference focused on the situation in Los Angeles County, forecasters warned of a potential worsening problem in Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, just to the south and east.
4. What is the main difficulty faced by firefighters?
A. Strong winds spreading fires. B. Limited evacuation routes.
C. Vast structural remains removal. D. Lack of public cooperation.
5. What is the primary concern expressed by Marrone and Park?
A. Evacuation efforts are being delayed. B. The danger period may extend further.
C. The fire is changing direction rapidly. D. Firefighter resources are insufficient.
6. Which word best describes Newsom when he saw crews’ preparations?
A. Discouraged. B. Appreciative. C. Dismissive. D. Unexpected.
7. What might the author continue talking about regarding the wildfires?
A. Firefighting equipment details. B. Evacuation success stories.
C. Impact on nearby counties. D. Residents’ personal experiences.
C
For the first time, people can talk with an older version of themselves, using an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) — powered chatbot. The Future You project, created by researchers at MIT Media Lab, uses AI to create a model of a user’s 60 to 70-year-old self. Users can converse with the AI through text on topics such as how to achieve what they want in life based on their circumstances, beliefs and outlook.
The first component of Future You is an image generation model called StyleClip. After the user uploads a selfie (自拍照), the system uses age-progression models to predict what they’ll look like at age 60, adding features like wrinkles. The training data for Future You’s chatbot comes from the data a user provides when asked questions about the current state of their life, their goals and concerns for their future.
These answers are processed by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which creates an architecture the researchers call “future memory”. It offers predictions about the user’s future based on the questionnaire answers, using training data from a wider dataset of people talking about their life experiences in their careers, relationships and beyond.
The chatbot, which adopts a persona based on the user’s responses, then answers the user’s questions about what their life might be like and offers advice about possible pathways to the future they want.
Future You’s programmers were careful to protect users against potential negative effects in the conversations with their future selves. The system routinely reminds the user that it’s only presenting one potential future based on the questionnaire answers, with different answers producing completely different outcomes.
According to the researchers, a stronger sense of future self-continuity can positively influence the way people make long-term decisions. “This work takes a well-established psychological technique to visualize times to come,” said Jeremy Bailenson, director of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford University. “This is exactly the type of work academics should be focusing on as technology to build virtual self models integrates with large language models.”
8. What does the Future You chatbot use to generate responses?
A. Analysis about general trends in aging.
B. Summary from other people’s experiences.
C. Users’ answers and a broad life experience dataset.
D. Data directly taken from users’ daily conversations.
9. What does the underlined phrase “adopts a persona” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Takes on a character. B. Gathers related information.
C. Learns new skills. D. Makes career plans.
10. What is one potential benefit for users to interact with a future self?
A. Improving their appearance. B. Staying focused on the present.
C. Predicting the changes in users’ personality. D. Gaining deep insights into future choices.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Predicts Life Success B. Exploring Your Future Self With AI
C. The Rise of Virtual Reality in Education D. Improve Personality With Technology
D
As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.
The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phone calls using a natural-sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt to address such challenges in human communications. But these are just initial whispers in voice of AI’s long journey.
Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into the parts of our everyday lives. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when school is canceled for the kids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remind you, asking if you’d like your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imagine how much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.
12. What do we know about AI?
A. It narrows our abilities. B. It limits our better choice.
C. It helps us enjoy life better. D. It doesn’t know our limitations.
13. What makes it hard for AI to understand what humans say?
A. Low level of speakers. B. Varieties of languages and cultures.
C. Imperfection of AI. D. Similarities between languages.
14. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. AI Will Replace Humans B. AI Will Set Goals for Us
C. AI Will Meet Challenges D. AI Will Be Part of Our Daily Lives

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。
In the summer of 2024, I, together with my friend, was in the middle of a DIY home project in my vegetable garden that required 1,500 pounds of gravel (砾石). So I headed to a home improvement store and started filling up my car with 50-pound bags of gravel. As I was loading, an old man approached me.
“Do you know that your car has a weight limit?” he asked.
I didn’t know that. It had never even crossed my mind that carrying such a heavy load could damage my car. It felt like something my dad would have warned me about. My dad passed away from a heart attack in 2017, at the age of 57.
Feeling overwhelmed, I wondered how I would unload the gravel from my car and transport it all back home for my project. Then the man made an offer of unusual generosity.
“I can load the gravel into my truck. Do you live nearby?” he asked.
“Yes,” I replied.
He helped me unload all the gravel from my car and then loaded it into his truck. We exchanged numbers, and I shared my address. As I pulled onto the highway, the kindness of what he had done began to hit me. I just started to cry in my car because I was so grateful for the goodness of strangers, of this person helping me.
On the darkest day of my life seven years ago my friend gave me a moment of relief. Now, the whole interaction with the old man reminded me of my dad and how he would have done something similar.
When we arrived at my house, the old man helped me unload all 1,500 pounds of gravel onto my driveway. I thanked him repeatedly, but he insisted that I not worry about it. I didn’t want him to leave empty-handed, so I tried offering him money, and then wine, but he wouldn’t accept them. Then I thought of something he might like.
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。
I had a vegetable garden and it was the end of the season.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The old man threw the bag of eggplants onto his shoulder.

D
As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.
The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phone calls using a natural-sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt to address such challenges in human communications. But these are just initial whispers in voice of AI’s long journey.
Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into the parts of our everyday lives. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when school is canceled for the kids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remind you, asking if you’d like your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imagine how much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.
12. What do we know about AI?
A. It narrows our abilities. B. It limits our better choice.
C. It helps us enjoy life better. D. It doesn’t know our limitations.
13. What makes it hard for AI to understand what humans say?
A. Low level of speakers. B. Varieties of languages and cultures.
C. Imperfection of AI. D. Similarities between languages.
14. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. AI Will Replace Humans B. AI Will Set Goals for Us
C. AI Will Meet Challenges D. AI Will Be Part of Our Daily Lives
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了未来人工智能会给我们生活带来很多便利,成为我们日常生活的一部分。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.(它将帮助我们计划不同的生活事件,所以我们可以花更多的时间享受生活时刻)”可知,人工智能帮助我们更好地享受生活。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers.(然而,人工智能理解人类对话的复杂性和细微差异的能力是一个障碍。世界上现存几千种语言。更加困难的是,不同文化之间共享和使用单词的方式各不相同,包括语法、教育水平和说话者的风格)”可知,语言和文化的多样性让人工智能很难理解人类说的话。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.(它将帮助我们计划不同的生活事件,所以我们可以花更多的时间享受生活时刻)”以及最后一段中“The possibilities are endless.(可能性是无限的)”可知,作者一直在强调人工智能的优点,且对人工智能的未来充满期待。由此推知,作者是支持人工智能的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth.

【16题详解】
根据下文的“Rooted in the belief that the awakened dragon brings new energy, this practice transforms haircuts into a ceremony to bring good luck.(基于龙觉醒带来新能量的信仰,这一习俗将理发转变为带来好运的仪式。)”可知,“this practice”指代“理发”这一习俗,空格处需引出与理发相关的场景。C选项“Barbershops witness unexpected crowds.(理发店迎来意想不到的人群。)”中的“Barbershops”直接关联“haircuts”,“crowds”体现节日期间人们通过理发祈福的习俗,与下文“理发仪式”形成因果关系。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据下文列举的“Beijingers eat Lvdagunr (sticky rice rolls) and spring pancakes, Shanxi locals enjoy fried dough twists, Shandong residents favor fried soy beans and dumplings, while Fuzhou natives prepare salted porridge made of sticky rice, green onion, garlic, fry dried shrimps and seafood.(北京人吃驴打滚(糯米卷)和春饼,山西当地人喜欢吃麻花,山东居民偏爱油炸黄豆和饺子,而福州人则会准备由糯米、青葱、大蒜、炒虾米和海鲜制成的咸粥。)”可知,不同地区有各自的节日特色美食。F选项“Local cooking traditions create diverse festive foods across regions.(各地烹饪传统造就了不同地区多样化的节日美食。)”中的“diverse festive foods across regions”精准概括了北京、山西、山东、福州等地的饮食差异,“Local cooking traditions”与下文“locals”以及“natives”呼应,符合段落主旨。故选F项。

(这个节日的爆米花传统可以追溯到一个唐代的传说,当时玉皇大帝通过三年不降雨来惩罚中国。)”及下文的“who secretly created rain but was trapped under a mountain with the condition: “Only the blooming of golden beans brings freedom.”((某人)偷偷降雨,却因此被困在山下,并且有这样一个条件:“只有金豆开花才能获得自由。”)”可知,空格处需引出传说中违反玉帝命令的角色。B选项“The Azure Dragon disobeyed his order,(青龙违抗了他的命令,)”中的“disobeyed his order”对应上文“punished”,“The Azure Dragon”作为主语,与下文“who”引导的定语从句共同构成完整的传说逻辑,解释了爆米花习俗的起源。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据下文的“During this period, married daughters return to their homes to accompany their parents, strengthening familial bonds while assisting with farm preparations. (在这一时期,已婚女儿会回到娘家陪伴父母,在协助准备农事的同时巩固亲情纽带。)”可知,核心是“女儿回娘家”的习俗及其双重意义。E选项“Daughters’ reunions meet emotional and practical needs.(女儿团聚满足了情感和实际需求。)”中的“Daughters’ reunions”直接概括“return to their homes”,“emotional and practical needs”分别对应下文“strengthening familial bonds”和“assisting with farm preparations”,总结了习俗在家庭情感和农务协助上的作用。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据段落主题句“The festival also enforces specific taboos.(节日还有特定的禁忌。)”及下文的“Using needles is prohibited to avoid injuring the dragon’s eyes as people think the dragon will raise its head to look towards the earth, while washing clothes is discouraged in certain areas to protect the dragon’s “skin”.(人们认为龙会抬头望向大地,因此禁止使用针线以免伤到龙的眼睛;在某些地区,人们不鼓励洗衣,以保护龙的“皮肤”。)”可知,空格处需列举具体禁忌。A选项“Needlework is strictly avoided by women.(女性严格避免针线活。)”中的“Needlework”与下文“Using needles is prohibited”直接对应,“strictly avoided”强调禁忌的严格性,且“women”作为执行主体,与“用针”的行为场景相符,衔接下文“避免伤到龙眼”的解释。故选A项。

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。
In the summer of 2024, I, together with my friend, was in the middle of a DIY home project in my vegetable garden that required 1,500 pounds of gravel (砾石). So I headed to a home improvement store and started filling up my car with 50-pound bags of gravel. As I was loading, an old man approached me.
“Do you know that your car has a weight limit?” he asked.
I didn’t know that. It had never even crossed my mind that carrying such a heavy load could damage my car. It felt like something my dad would have warned me about. My dad passed away from a heart attack in 2017, at the age of 57.
Feeling overwhelmed, I wondered how I would unload the gravel from my car and transport it all back home for my project. Then the man made an offer of unusual generosity.
“I can load the gravel into my truck. Do you live nearby?” he asked.
“Yes,” I replied.
He helped me unload all the gravel from my car and then loaded it into his truck. We exchanged numbers, and I shared my address. As I pulled onto the highway, the kindness of what he had done began to hit me. I just started to cry in my car because I was so grateful for the goodness of strangers, of this person helping me.
On the darkest day of my life seven years ago, my friend gave me a moment of relief. Now, the whole interaction with the old man reminded me of my dad and how he would have done something similar.
When we arrived at my house, the old man helped me unload all 1,500 pounds of gravel onto my driveway. I thanked him repeatedly, but he insisted that I not worry about it. I didn’t want him to leave empty-handed, so I tried offering him money, and then wine, but he wouldn’t accept them. Then I thought of something he might like.
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。
I had a vegetable garden and it was the end of the season.

The old man threw the bag of eggplants onto his shoulder.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I had a vegetable garden and it was the end of the season. I just asked him, “Do you like eggplants?” His serious face lit up when he heard my words and said, “I love eggplants very much.” So I offered him a tour of the vegetable garden; it turned out he too had been a gardener before his work got in the way. I twisted a handful of big eggplants off the vine, put them into a bag and gave them to him. He seemed thrilled and grateful for the simple gift.
The old man threw the bag of eggplants onto his shoulder. He marched off back to his truck with a satisfied smile on his face. As I watched him drive away, leaving behind my 1,500 pounds of gravel, I felt a deep sense of gratitude for this unexpected encounter. It reminds me that even in our darkest moments, there are still acts of kindness that can bring light and warmth into our lives. Today, inspired by the old man, I try to be on the lookout for others who might need a hand.
