When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated stocks, but the WiFi router. Regulars protested. A lawyer threatened to transfer his $500 monthly coffee budget elsewhere. “Books deserve the same undivided attention we demand from lovers,” she told me, polishing the brass counter her grandfather installed in 1967.
Her stubbornness seemed self-destructive as stores around them closed down. Yet something unusual happened. By 2020, the shop had become an unofficial sanctuary (庇护所). Teenagers sprawled on Persian carpets with Dostoevsky, their phones forgotten in backpacks. A retired judge started hosting Saturday poetry circles where participants recited verses from memory — a practice Clara called “brain tattooing.”
The pandemic should have been their death knell. Instead, when Clara launched “Survival Bundles” (handpicked books with handwritten notes), orders poured in from tech executives exhausted by Zoom. A Silicon Valley CEO admitted these were the first physical books he’d touched since graduate school. “We’re starving for texture,” Clara noted, wrapping parcels in recycled paper.
Last winter, I found her battling a new threat. A property developer had purchased their building, tripling the rent overnight. What unfolded next could fill a novel: customers organized protests on the sidewalk; the judge represented them for free; even the lawyer who once threatened to leave funded their legal defense.
In the court, Clara quoted Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us.” The judge — her poetry circle regular — pronounced the rent increase unreasonable. Now their shop displays this judgment alongside signed first editions, proof that some bonds still resist digital disruption.
4. What made Clara’s approach to running the bookshop special?
A. Catering to the needs of customers. B. Introducing modern technology.
C. Focusing on rare book collections. D. Prioritizing full concentration.
5. What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A moment of celebration. B. A desperate cry for survival.
C. An event marking the end. D. A sudden opportunity for growth.
6. Why is the lawyer mentioned again in paragraph 4?
A. To show his contradictory behavior. B. To illustrate the content of a novel.
C. To stress the mass support Clara received. D. To explain the difficulty Clara came across.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Profit-driven decisions may lead to unexpected outcomes.
B. Community and human connection can navigate modern challenges.
C. Technology is harmful to traditional businesses and should be avoided.
D. Small bookshops are bound to encounter many threats in the digital age.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Clara接手祖父的书店后,坚持专注阅读,最终书店在社区支持下得以存续。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated stocks, but the WiFi router.(2018年,当Clara接手祖父在布鲁克林的书店时,她首先撤掉的不是过时的存货,而是WiFi路由器)”和““Books deserve the same undivided attention we demand from lovers,” she told me, polishing the brass counter her grandfather installed in 1967.(“书籍值得我们像要求爱人那样给予全心全意的关注,”她告诉我,一边擦拭着她祖父1967年安装的黄铜柜台)”可知,Clara撤掉WiFi路由器,认为书籍值得全心全意的关注,即她强调专注阅读。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The pandemic should have been their death knell. Instead, when Clara launched “Survival Bundles” (handpicked books with handwritten notes), orders poured in from tech executives exhausted by Zoom.(疫情本应是他们的death knell。相反,当Clara推出“生存套装”(精心挑选的书籍并附上手写笔记)时,来自Zoom视频会议中疲惫不堪的科技公司高管的订单纷至沓来)”可知,疫情本应是书店的终结,但Clara的创新策略却让书店焕发生机。由此可知,death knell意为“终结的标志”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“What unfolded next could fill a novel: customers organized protests on the sidewalk; the judge represented them for free; even the lawyer who once threatened to leave funded their legal defense.(接下来发生的事情足以写成一部小说:顾客们在人行道上组织抗议;法官免费为他们辩护;就连那位曾威胁要离开的律师也为他们的法律辩护提供了资金)”可知,律师再次被提及是为了强调Clara得到了广泛的支持。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the court, Clara quoted Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us.” The judge — her poetry circle regular — pronounced the rent increase unreasonable. Now their shop displays this judgment alongside signed first editions, proof that some bonds still resist digital disruption.(在法庭上,Clara引用了梅尔维尔的话:“我们不能只为自己而活。千丝万缕将我们联系在一起。”法官——她的诗歌圈常客——宣布租金上涨不合理。现在,他们的书店将这份判决与签名初版书一起展示,证明有些联系仍然能够抵御数字时代的冲击)”可知,文章通过Clara接手并经营书店的经历,展示了社区和人际联系在应对现代挑战中的重要作用。故选B。
C
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子).
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases.
In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
8. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks?
A. To compare different animals.
B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes.
C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are.
D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals.
9. What can we learn about mosquitoes?
A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans.
B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases.
C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits.
D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes.
10. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes.
B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes.
C. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem.
D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了蚊子对人类的危害以及目前采取的一些灭蚊措施,并表达了对未来解决蚊子问题的乐观态度。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). (我们小时候就知道老虎和鲨鱼是危险的动物。我们可能会害怕它们,因为它们体型庞大且力量强大。然而,随着我们长大,我们了解到有时候最危险的动物也是体型最小的动物。事实上,导致最多人死亡的动物是一种你很熟悉的动物:蚊子)”可推知,文章提到像老虎和鲨鱼这样的危险动物是为了引出关于蚊子的话题。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. (当雌性蚊子叮咬人类时,它会将唾液注入血液中。这种唾液可能含有致命疾病,也可能不含。叮咬的后果可能很轻微,也可能严重到导致死亡)”可知,雌蚊子可能会将疾病传播给人类。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. (在一些家庭中,人们会在床上方挂上蚊帐,以防止被蚊子叮咬。蚊子有许多天敌,比如蝙蝠、鸟类、蜻蜓以及某些种类的鱼。让更多这类动物进入蚊子栖息的地方,或许有助于减少该区域的蚊子数量。这是一种自然的解决办法,但并非总能起到很好的效果。也可以用毒药或喷雾剂杀死蚊子,不过这些喷雾剂可能也会对其他植物或动物造成伤害)”可知,第四段主要介绍了人们采取的一些防治蚊子的措施,以及这些措施存在的不足,即没有完美的解决蚊子问题的方案。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. (但情况正在发生改变。科学家们很有可能在某一天找到一种方法,让所有人都能免受蚊子及其携带的疾病的侵害)”可推知,作者对解决蚊子问题的未来持积极乐观态度。故选B项。
D
Anyone who has taken a formal test knows that writing an article in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Using artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost.
Over the course of a series of essay-writing periods, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users showed markedly lower brain activity in areas connected with creative functions and attention.
Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to build a causal link between increased AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.
Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion (神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map- reading. And yet few would argue that people are less able as a result.
There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines deal with users’ mental tasks changes the brain’s ability to think. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it. ”
The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time people will have to judge whether its wider benefits can cover cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence appears that AI makes people less smart, will they care?
12. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study?
A. The steps it followed. B. The limitations in its design.
C. The purpose it has achieved. D. The conclusion it has drawn.
13. According to Socrates, what negative result could writing have?
A. People would avoid using reminders. B. People would stop thinking independently.
C. People would rely less on their own memory. D. People would care less about the spoken word.
14. What point do the user’s words in paragraph 5 mean?
A. AI can change users’ mental ability. B. AI is not able to solve every problem.
C. AI is not widely available to the public. D. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Will AI Make You Stupid? B. How AI lets You Offload Tasks?
C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities? D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨使用生成式人工智能完成写作等任务可能带来的认知成本及相关争议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. (毕竟,这项研究的样本量很小,而且只关注一项单一的、范围狭窄的任务。)”可知,该段强调麻省理工学院的研究在设计上存在局限性,样本量小且研究任务单一。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion for remembering, but for reminding”. (有人引用苏格拉底的抱怨,称书写并非“记忆的神药,而是提醒的工具”。)” 可知,苏格拉底认为书写会让人们不再依赖自身记忆,转而依靠文字提醒。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it. (我太依赖人工智能了,以至于我觉得没有它我都不知道如何解决某些问题。)” 可知,这位用户的话表明,过度依赖人工智能会让人们养成思维惰性,难以独立解决问题。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据并结合第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. (从长远来看,人工智能是否会让人类的大脑变弱,这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这项研究背后的研究人员强调,需要进一步的工作来确定人工智能使用量增加与大脑功能减弱之间的明确因果关系。毕竟,这项研究的样本量很小,而且只关注一项单一的、范围狭窄的任务。)”和最后一段中的“But in time people will have to judge whether its wider benefits can cover cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence appears that AI makes people less smart, will they care? (但随着时间的推移,人们将不得不判断它更广泛的好处是否能抵消认知成本。如果出现更有力的证据表明人工智能会让人变笨,他们会在意吗?)”可知,文章围绕人工智能是否会降低人类认知能力、让人变笨展开讨论。A项“人工智能会让你变笨吗?”适合作为标题。故选A项。

Fun Facts About the English Language
The English language is spoken by millions of people worldwide and is famous for its many curiosities. From unusual spelling rules to surprising vocabulary, it offers learners both fun and challenges.
Hundreds of new words are added to dictionaries every year. In 2020 alone, more than 500 were included in Merriam-Webster. ___16___ This shows that language grows together with them.
Letters also play curious roles. “E” is by far the most common, appearing in about 11% of all words. It occurs in “the,” the most used word, and in verbs like “be.” ___17___ With so many appearances, it is naturally the most typed letter on keyboards.
Pronunciation brings even greater challenges. The combination “ough,” for example, can be pronounced in ten different ways. In one sentence——“A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough”——all of them appear. ___18___ These irregularities remind learners that English spelling has never been fully unified.
Culture adds more surprises. The United States, for instance, has never declared English its official national language, even though it dominates daily life. ___19___This shows that a language’s influence depends more on practice than on law.
English continues to evolve. Dictionaries expand every year, old words gain new meanings, and learners everywhere adapt to its changes. ___20___
A. That is why “E” is called the king of letters.
B. Such a fact may surprise many language learners.
C. This mix of rules and exceptions puzzles learners.
D. The letter “E” is mainly used in specific writing.
E. These examples show how English language affects culture.
F. New words often reflect culture, science, and technology.
G. As a result, English stays one of the most active languages in history.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. G

It occurs in “the,” the most used word, and in verbs like “be.”(“E”是迄今为止最常见的字母,约占所有单词的11%。它出现在最常用的单词“the”以及“be”等动词中。)”和下文“With so many appearances, it is naturally the most typed letter on keyboards.(出现频率如此之高,它自然成为键盘上输入最多的字母。)”可知,空格处需总结“E”的核心地位。A项“That is why “E” is called the king of letters.(这就是为什么“E”被称为字母之王。)”符合语境,That指代上文“出现频率高、常用在核心词汇中”的特点,“the king of letters”概括其重要性,承接下文“输入最多”的补充,逻辑连贯。故选A项。
【18题详解】
由上文“The combination “ough,” for example, can be pronounced in ten different ways. In one sentence——“A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough”——all of them appear. (例如,“ough”这个字母组合竟有十种不同的发音。有这样一个句子 ——“一个穿着粗布外套、面色蜡黄、心思缜密的农夫,大步穿过斯卡伯勒的街道”—— 其中这十种发音全都出现了。)”和下文“These irregularities remind learners that English spelling has never been fully unified.(这些不规则现象提醒学习者,英语拼写从未完全统一。)”可知,空格处需说明“发音不规则对学习者的影响”。C项“This mix of rules and exceptions puzzles learners.(这种规则与例外的混合让学习者感到困惑。)”符合语境,“This mix of rules and exceptions”指代上文“ough”发音的多种情况,“puzzles learners”衔接下文“提醒学习者拼写未统一”,呼应前文“发音带来更大挑战”,衔接自然。故选C项。
【19题详解】
由上文“The United States, for instance, has never declared English its official national language, even though it dominates daily life.(例如,美国从未将英语定为国家官方语言,尽管它在日常生活中占据主导地位。)”和下文“This shows that a language’s influence depends more on practice than on law.(这表明一种语言的影响力更多取决于实际使用,而非法律规定。)”可知,空格处需表达“这一事实的意外性”。B项“Such a fact may surprise many language learners.(这样的事实可能会让许多语言学习者感到惊讶。)”符合语境,“Such a fact”指代上文“美国未将英语定为官方语言”,“surprise many language learners”突出事实的特殊性,为下文“影响力取决于实际使用”的结论做铺垫,逻辑清晰。故选B项。
【20题详解】
由上文“English continues to evolve. Dictionaries expand every year, old words gain new meanings, and learners everywhere adapt to its changes.(英语在不断发展。词典每年都在扩充,旧词获得新义,各地的学习者都在适应它的变化。)”可知,空格处需总结“英语持续发展的结果”。G项“As a result, English stays one of the most active languages in history.(因此,英语一直是历史上最活跃的语言之一。)”符合语境,“As a result”承接上文“持续进化、词典扩充、词义更新”等情况,“one of the most active languages”点明其发展带来的地位,收尾自然。故选G项。

When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated stocks, but the WiFi router. Regulars protested. A lawyer threatened to transfer his $500 monthly coffee budget elsewhere. “Books deserve the same undivided attention we demand from lovers,” she told me, polishing the brass counter her grandfather installed in 1967.
Her stubbornness seemed self-destructive as stores around them closed down. Yet something unusual happened. By 2020, the shop had become an unofficial sanctuary (庇护所). Teenagers sprawled on Persian carpets with Dostoevsky, their phones forgotten in backpacks. A retired judge started hosting Saturday poetry circles where participants recited verses from memory — a practice Clara called “brain tattooing.”
The pandemic should have been their death knell. Instead, when Clara launched “Survival Bundles” (handpicked books with handwritten notes), orders poured in from tech executives exhausted by Zoom. A Silicon Valley CEO admitted these were the first physical books he’d touched since graduate school. “We’re starving for texture,” Clara noted, wrapping parcels in recycled paper.
Last winter, I found her battling a new threat. A property developer had purchased their building, tripling the rent overnight. What unfolded next could fill a novel: customers organized protests on the sidewalk; the judge represented them for free; even the lawyer who once threatened to leave funded their legal defense.
In the court, Clara quoted Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us.” The judge — her poetry circle regular — pronounced the rent increase unreasonable. Now their shop displays this judgment alongside signed first editions, proof that some bonds still resist digital disruption.
4. What made Clara’s approach to running the bookshop special?
A. Catering to the needs of customers. B. Introducing modern technology.
C. Focusing on rare book collections. D. Prioritizing full concentration.
5. What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A moment of celebration. B. A desperate cry for survival.
C. An event marking the end. D. A sudden opportunity for growth.
6. Why is the lawyer mentioned again in paragraph 4?
A. To show his contradictory behavior. B. To illustrate the content of a novel.
C. To stress the mass support Clara received. D. To explain the difficulty Clara came across.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Profit-driven decisions may lead to unexpected outcomes.
B. Community and human connection can navigate modern challenges.
C. Technology is harmful to traditional businesses and should be avoided.
D. Small bookshops are bound to encounter many threats in the digital age.
C
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子).
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases.
In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
8. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks?
A. To compare different animals.
B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes.
C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are.
D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals.
9. What can we learn about mosquitoes?
A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans.
B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases.
C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits.
D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes.
10. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes.
B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes.
C. There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem.
D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
D
Anyone who has taken a formal test knows that writing an article in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Using artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost.
Over the course of a series of essay-writing periods, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users showed markedly lower brain activity in areas connected with creative functions and attention.
Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to build a causal link between increased AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.
Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion (神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map- reading. And yet few would argue that people are less able as a result.
There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines deal with users’ mental tasks changes the brain’s ability to think. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it. ”
The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time people will have to judge whether its wider benefits can cover cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence appears that AI makes people less smart, will they care?
12. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study?

Last summer, my family and I decided to visit a small mountain village that my grandparents once lived in. My parents told me that it was a peaceful place with green mountains and clear rivers. We prepared a lot of food and clothes for the villagers, who still lived a simple life.
The road to the village was not easy. We drove for hours along winding roads. When we were getting close, we saw many lovely farms and forests. The villagers were preparing for a traditional festival. They were very friendly and promised to show us around.
Paragraph 1:
The next morning, we set off early for the mountain village.
