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. 21. 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. 22. 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. 23. 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 B At the airport, a security (安全) problem left my wife Cherié and me in a huge line, waiting to fly home to Cincinnati. Just as we accepted the wait, I worried a lot: I’d left our new camera, which cost $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed to call the taxi company, and to my relief, they said the driver was coming to return the camera. When meeting me, he even turned down the reward I offered. When I got the camera and returned to the line to wait, the crowd had grown even bigger. I was sure I’d miss our flight. Then a security officer walked over, smiling. “People like you have a special entrance — no need to wait in line,” he said, gesturing for me to follow. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up to keep crowds orderly, and then he talked excitedly about my “movies” — Solo: A Star Wars Story, Champions and Now You See Me. That’s when I realized: he thought I was Woody Harrelson, an actor I’m always mistaken for. When he asked about the Champions cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in forever. As we reached a private security room, fear hit — I didn’t want trouble from the mix-up. I tried to show my ID, but he waved it off. “People like you use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came to mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Woody share strange similarities — the same hometown, height, even eating only plants. Before I knew it, I was through security and waiting at the gate with the camera. Cherié looked at me with wide eyes, saying, “How did you cut the line?” I smiled broadly, holding up the camera. “Call me Woody—I got through the airport’s special channel for public figures,” I said. She rolled her eyes but laughed when I told her the story. To this day, I still feel special, for the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best moments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lots of laughter are all you need to make a trip unforgettable. 24. Why did the author phone the taxi company? A. To get the lost camera. B. To book another taxi ride. C. To return the rental camera. D. To express thanks for the service. 25. What happened to the author when he was waiting in line again? A. He kept the crowds orderly. B. He met Woody Harrelson. C. He was mistaken for an actor. D. He talked about his movies. 26. How did Cherié feel when seeing her husband according to paragraph 4? A. Annoyed. B. Frightened. C. Anxious. D. Curious. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Going with the Flow B. Believing in Strangers C. Enjoying a Happy Mistake D. Buying a Ticket to Life C A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant (抗旱的) varieties of corn. The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic-mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning (水力模式)”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water. For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. “Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.” Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress—a model plant often used in research—the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air. Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said. 28. What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study? A. Drought-resistant corn varieties. B. Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening. C. Genetic control of root branching. D. Impact of climate change on plant roots. 29. What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks? A. Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth. B. Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems. C. Root branching conserves energy for higher production. D. Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth. 30. What can we learn about ethylene from paragraph 5? A. It has long been known to control corn roots’ response to water. B. It works with auxin to promote root branching toward water. C. It prevents root branching when the root comes into contact with air. D. It is the only plant hormone affecting corn roots’ water response. 31. What does the last paragraph suggest future research do? A. Prioritize development of new corn varieties. B. Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions. C. Concentrate merely on localized root responses. D. Expand practical applications of hydropatterning. D Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes. This brain-inspired AI model can perceive dynamic scenes by simulating (模拟) how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize tiny changes over time. To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene. Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models. Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect. Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.” 32. How is MovieNet differnet from conventional AI models ? A. It can spot small changes over time. B. It is better at recognizing still images. C. It can interpret real-life scenes of the world. D. It can create videos with more complex images. 33 MovieNet is trained ________. A. to increase visual inputs. B. to integrate dynamic images. C. to feed on information pieces. D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons. 34. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet? A. Its powerful data storage. B. Its low energy consumption. C. Its control of medical diseases. D. Its improvement on drug effects. 35. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph? A. Biology brings us financial profits. B. Living organisms can outperform AI. C. AI can assist in biological development. D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising. 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。 Rejection creates an emotional roller coaster (过山车).

I had brunch with a friend and picked up my new glasses. All done and headed back on the train. I wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior, but wisely just sat quietly. An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car. In worn but neat clothes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyone with a warm “Good afternoon, folks.” Most ignored him, with cold blank faces. Then, he started to sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my soul. Many people ask for money on the train, but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead. It feels like a gift. I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered. A young boy across from me, maybe ten, watched him, swaying (摇摆) to the rhythm, his mother too distracted by her phone to notice. He started his second song and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean on me, when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend...” I love that song! Without thinking, I softly sang a little harmony with him. Right away, I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse. He looked tall and thin, but he had a strong voice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard for him, but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity. I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me. He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign — though no one glanced up. No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet. 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。 Paragraph 1: Somehow, he noticed me singing along. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Bill age was great last night. wasn't he?

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. 21. 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. 22. 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. 23. 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】21. C 22. A 23. 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。 【21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。 【22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。 【23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 At the airport, a security (安全) problem left my wife Cherié and me in a huge line, waiting to fly home to Cincinnati. Just as we accepted the wait, I worried a lot: I’d left our new camera, which cost $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed to call the taxi company, and to my relief, they said the driver was coming to return the camera. When meeting me, he even turned down the reward I offered. When I got the camera and returned to the line to wait, the crowd had grown even bigger. I was sure I’d miss our flight. Then a security officer walked over, smiling. “People like you have a special entrance — no need to wait in line,” he said, gesturing for me to follow. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up to keep crowds orderly, and then he talked excitedly about my “movies” — Solo: A Star Wars Story, Champions and Now You See Me. That’s when I realized: he thought I was Woody Harrelson, an actor I’m always mistaken for. When he asked about the Champions cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in forever. As we reached a private security room, fear hit — I didn’t want trouble from the mix-up. I tried to show my ID, but he waved it off. “People like you use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came to mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Woody share strange similarities — the same hometown, height, even eating only plants. Before I knew it, I was through security and waiting at the gate with the camera. Cherié looked at me with wide eyes, saying, “How did you cut the line?” I smiled broadly, holding up the camera. “Call me Woody—I got through the airport’s special channel for public figures,” I said. She rolled her eyes but laughed when I told her the story. To this day, I still feel special, for the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best moments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lots of laughter are all you need to make a trip unforgettable. 24. Why did the author phone the taxi company? A. To get the lost camera. B. To book another taxi ride. C. To return the rental camera. D. To express thanks for the service. 25. What happened to the author when he was waiting in line again? A. He kept the crowds orderly. B. He met Woody Harrelson. C. He was mistaken for an actor. D. He talked about his movies. 26. How did Cherié feel when seeing her husband according to paragraph 4? A. Annoyed. B. Frightened. C. Anxious. D. Curious. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Going with the Flow B. Believing in Strangers C. Enjoying a Happy Mistake D. Buying a Ticket to Life 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在机场发现相机遗失，飞奔取回后，本以为会错过航班，却被误认成演员走特殊通道，最终收获欢笑与感悟的旅程趣事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I worried a lot: I’d left our new camera, which cost $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed to call the taxi company(我非常担心：我把价值1500美元的新相机落在了租的车里。我马上就给出租车公司打电话。)” 可知，作者给出租车公司打电话是为了取回遗失的相机。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That’s when I realized: he thought I was Woody Harrelson, an actor I’m always mistaken for.(就在那时，我意识到：他以为我是Woody Harrelson，一个我总是被误认为的演员。)”可知，作者排队时被安保人员误认成演员Woody Harrelson。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Cherié looked at me with wide eyes, saying, “How did you cut the line?”(Cherié睁大眼睛看着我，说道：“你是怎么插队的？”)”可知，Cherié盯着作者并追问其是如何插队的，可推断出她是好奇的，好奇作者怎么插队的。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“To this day, I still feel special, for the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best moments aren’t planned.(直到今天，我仍然感觉到特别，因为这个美好的误会令我想起：人生中最美好的时刻往往不是计划好的。)”以及全文围绕作者被误认成演员，还享受了特殊待遇这一意外之喜的故事的讲述可知，C项“享受一个美好的误会”能概括全文内容，符合文章标题，故选C。 C A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant (抗旱的) varieties of corn. The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic-mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning (水力模式)”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water. For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. “Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.” Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress—a model plant often used in research—the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air. Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said. 28. What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study? A. Drought-resistant corn varieties. B. Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening. C. Genetic control of root branching. D. Impact of climate change on plant roots. 29. What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks? A. Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth. B. Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems. C. Root branching conserves energy for higher production. D. Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth. 30. What can we learn about ethylene from paragraph 5? A. It has long been known to control corn roots’ response to water. B. It works with auxin to promote root branching toward water. C. It prevents root branching when the root comes into contact with air. D. It is the only plant hormone affecting corn roots’ water response. 31. What does the last paragraph suggest future research do? A. Prioritize development of new corn varieties. B. Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions. C. Concentrate merely on localized root responses. D. Expand practical applications of hydropatterning. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项由斯坦福大学领导的研究，该研究揭示了玉米根系如何感知并趋向土壤中的水分，以及这一能力在不同玉米品种中的差异，尤其是与抗旱性相关的遗传机制。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic-mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning (水力模式)”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil.(这项发表在《科学》杂志上的研究揭示了“水模式”背后的遗传机制，即植物的根是如何向水分支并避开土壤中的干燥空间的。)”可知，斯坦福大学领导的这项研究的主要焦点是根分枝的遗传控制。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems(有趣的是，更善于感知水源的植物根系也更深)”和“One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.(一种想法是，如果植物不浪费时间将根分支生长到没有水和营养的地方，那么它就有更多的能量生长到更有可能有水的地方。)”可知，从Johannes Scharwies的话中可以推断出更强的水模式与更大的根深有关。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In experiments with thale cress — a model plant often used in research—the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air.(在研究中经常使用的模式植物拟南芥的实验中，研究人员发现生长素信号促进根分支向水方向发育，而乙烯则在根暴露于空气中时停止分支。)”可知，从第5段我们可以了解当根部接触到空气时，乙烯可以防止根部分叉。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.(研究人员说，在培育出具有更抗旱根系的玉米品种之前，需要进一步的研究来更好地了解这些遗传途径的相互作用，但是这些发现强调了研究根尖上这些局部反应的重要性。)”可知，最后一段建议未来的研究找出基因相互作用的机制。故选B。 D Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes. This brain-inspired AI model can perceive dynamic scenes by simulating (模拟) how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize tiny changes over time. To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene. Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models. Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect. Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.” 32. How is MovieNet differnet from conventional AI models ? A. It can spot small changes over time. B. It is better at recognizing still images. C. It can interpret real-life scenes of the world. D. It can create videos with more complex images. 33. MovieNet is trained ________. A. to increase visual inputs. B. to integrate dynamic images. C. to feed on information pieces. D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons. 34. According to paragraph 5 what is an advantage of MovieNet? A. Its powerful data storage. B. Its low energy consumption. C. Its control of medical diseases. D. Its improvement on drug effects. 35. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph? A. Biology brings us financial profits. B. Living organisms can outperform AI. C AI can assist in biological development. D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家研发出名为MovieNet的人工智能模型，该模型受大脑启发，能像人类一样处理视频，理解复杂动态场景，其准确率高于人类观察者和现有AI模型，且更环保，还可能在医学领域发挥作用，未来团队计划提升其适应能力和应用潜力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize tiny changes over time.(虽然传统的人工智能在静态图像识别方面表现出色，但MovieNet旨在理解复杂的动态场景，使其能够识别随着时间推移而产生的细微变化)”可知，MovieNet与传统人工智能模型的不同之处在于它能发现随着时间推移的细微变化。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene.(不同的神经元处理现实生活动态图像中的各种“拼图块”，然后大脑将这些“拼图块”组合起来形成一个连续的场景)”以及第四段中“Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes.(基于这一认识，研究人员对MovieNet进行训练，使其通过识别微小的视觉信号来处理视频片段，从而能够区分场景中的细微变化)”可知，MovieNet被训练是为了整合动态图像，使其能够理解复杂的动态场景。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline.(除了具有更高的准确率，MovieNet还更加环保。传统的人工智能需要大量的数据和能源，而MovieNet则像压缩文件一样压缩数据，减少了对环境的影响。Cline说：“我们还让人工智能对资源的需求大大降低。”)”可知，MovieNet的优势是低能耗。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.”(Cline说：“通过设计出像生物体一样思考的模型，我们能够达到传统人工智能无法企及的效率水平。生物学是一座金矿。”)”可推知，Cline在最后一段中表达的意思是，从生物学中汲取灵感是有前途的。故选D。 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。 Rejection creates an emotional roller coaster (过山车).

I had brunch with a friend and picked up my new glasses. All done and headed back on the train. I wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior, but wisely just sat quietly. An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car. In worn but neat clothes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyone with a warm “Good afternoon, folks.” Most ignored him, with cold blank faces. Then, he started to sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my soul. Many people ask for money on the train, but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead. It feels like a gift. I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered. A young boy across from me, maybe ten, watched him, swaying (摇摆) to the rhythm, his mother too distracted by her phone to notice. He started his second song and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean on me, when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend...” I love that song! Without thinking, I softly sang a little harmony with him. Right away, I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse. He looked tall and thin, but he had a strong voice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard for him, but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity. I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me. He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign — though no one glanced up. No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet. 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。 Paragraph 1: Somehow, he noticed me singing along. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Somehow, he noticed me singing along. He looked up and slowly walked toward me, his eyes shining with surprise and warmth. I slipped the rolled bill into his rough hand, and he gave me a grateful nod. Then, leaning closer, he whispered, “Sing with me, sister.” Without hesitation, I joined him. Our voices blended, his strong and soulful, mine soft but steady. For a moment, the crowded train car felt like a tiny concert hall, filled not with heat and impatience, but with harmony. It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. One by one, passengers lifted their heads, listening. The young boy’s swaying turned into clapping, his laughter breaking through the dull silence. A few others began humming along, and even his mother put down her phone. When the song ended, coins and bills appeared in the man’s cap from every direction. He stood taller, pride glowing in his smile, and I felt a quiet joy — proof that even in a weary city, music could open hearts and bring strangers together. 【解析】 【导语】故事以人物为线索展开，讲述纽约市炎热的一天，作者和朋友吃早午餐、取新眼镜后乘火车返程。车上一位衣衫陈旧但整洁的黑人老先生主动问候众人并唱歌，多数乘客无视他，作者却很喜欢这如同礼物的音乐，还跟着轻声和声，打算把钱包里的5美元给他。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“不知怎么的，他注意到我在跟着唱。”可知，接下来可描写他靠近作者，并邀请作者一起合唱，他们歌声改变了车厢的氛围。 ②根据第二段首句“车里仍然又热又粘，但有些事情发生了变化。”可知，接下来可描写乘客们的变化（注视着、跟着哼唱、给钱）以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：他注意到作者——靠近作者并邀请合唱——改变车厢的氛围——乘客们也加入（有的注视着、有的哼唱）——作者的感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①走向：walk toward/approach ②交织：blend/mix ③抬起：lift/raise 情绪类 ①温情：warmth/affection ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】He looked up and slowly walked toward me, his eyes shining with surprise and warmth.（运用了“名词+现在分词”的独立主格结构） 【高分句型2】 He stood taller, pride glowing in his smile, and I felt a quiet joy — proof that even in a weary city, music could open hearts and bring strangers together.（运用了that引导的同位语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
