2026’s most sought-after travel experiences engage all five senses, with four standout trends offering unique joys and memorable adventures.
Mini Stargazing Safari in Northumberland
For stargazers, Northumberland is an ideal destination for a visual feast. Kielder Observatory hosts over 700 annual events for all ages, making astronomy accessible and enjoyable. Battlesteads Hotel provides workshops, informative talks, and interactive demonstrations. With a 572-square-mile Dark Sky Park, finding a stargazing spot is effortless — event tickets start at £25, and the hotel’s two-night stays cost £290 per night.
Warm Mud Bath in Italy’s Aeolian Islands
The volcano in Italy’s Aeolian Islands offers healing mud baths. Though sulphuric (含硫磺的) smells take some getting used to, the bubbling mud soothes muscles, boosts circulation and benefits skin conditions. With its volcanic backdrop and breathtaking sunsets, hiking trails and dark-sand beaches serve as an ideal base for exploration. Entry to mud baths is £20 per person, including shower access.
Diving with Octopuses in Seattle, USA
Inspired by the release of My Octopus Teacher, people have developed a surging interest in one of the ocean’s most mysterious creatures. Octopuses — known for their shape-shifting abilities, problem-solving skills — have become the new stars of underwater exploration. With the guidance of a professional instructor, divers get a rare chance to observe these eight-armed wonders up close. Seattle Dive Tours’ evening-night packages are £200 per person (September to May), plus taxes.
Listening to Whale Song in the Azores
In the Azores, travelers have the rare opportunity not only to spot whales but also to listen to their songs. Whale song is not just soothing background noise; it is the sound of one of nature’s most mysterious giants communicating across the deep ocean. By listening to their songs, travelers can assist in identifying individual whales and recording migration data. The Ocean holiday (£895 per person) includes three whale-watching trips.
1. What is a feature of the mud baths in the Aeolian Islands?
A. It has no unpleasant smells. B. It helps to promote blood flow.
C. It has breathtaking sunrises. D. It offers free hiking trail access.
2. Which experience is most likely to be inspired by a documentary film?

For most of her life, Reese Dankenberger’s world centered around the pool. Growing up, she spent countless hours on swim practice and competitions. Swimming wasn’t just a sport — it was her routine, her challenge, and her passion.
Yet, behind her achievements was a hidden struggle. As a young athlete, Reese suffered from POTS, a condition that caused her heart rate to rise whenever she stood, often leaving her dizzy and tired. It was a threat not only to her swimming but also to her everyday life. Years of medical appointments and treatments eventually stabilized her condition, allowing her to continue competing and sparking a new curiosity about biomedical research.
Initially, Reese was torn between pursuing a clinical career and a scientific one. “I’ve been the patient. I’ve been on the other side of medicine,” she said. “The goal is to improve quality of life, but there are many paths to get there.” The choice became clearer during her senior year at Tulane University in Louisiana when she spent the summer as a research fellow at Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute. Working in John Chappell’s lab, she studied blood vessel (血管) development in the brain, which helped her understand her heart condition. The experience encouraged her to focus on chronic (慢性的) conditions, hoping to help others who face similar uncertainties.
Now, Reese joins Virginia Tech’s Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health Graduate Program. She values the program’s collaborative approach, where students from diverse backgrounds, including biology, neuroscience, and exercise psychology, learn from one another. “Each of us brings a different perspective, which helps tackle problems in new ways,” she said.
For Reese, the pool taught discipline and perseverance, but her experiences with POTS shaped her purpose. From laps in the water to hours in the lab, she has turned personal challenges into drive to improve the lives of others.
4. What led Reese to focus on biomedical research?
A. Her countless swim practices. B. Her training at Tulane University.
C. Her experiences with POTS. D. Her interest in chronic diseases.
5. What does Reese value most about her current graduate program?
A. Its sports-centered research focus.
B. The cross-field teamwork benefits.
C. Its down-to-earth research methods.
D. The chance to work with professionals.
6. What’s the core of Reese’s life goal now?
A. Winning sports competitions. B. Curing her own heart condition.
C. Pursuing a teaching career. D. Promoting well-being of others.
7. What message does Reese’s story mainly deliver?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Turn lemons into lemonade.
C. Well begun is half done. D. Together we stand, divided we fall.
C
Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author?
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4?
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary?
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing?
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants?
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries?
D
A surprising analysis of 15 studies reveals that patients perceive more warmth in AI-generated medical responses than in those from human doctors. The largest study examined 2,164 patient interactions, with similar patterns emerging across smaller datasets. The results, published in the British Medical Bulletin, challenge long-held assumptions about human connection in medicine and run counter to a 2019 UK government report that called empathy an “essential human skill that AI cannot replicate (复制).”
ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots scored roughly 2 points higher than human healthcare professionals (HCPs) on 10-point empathy scales when responding to patient questions via text. AI had a 73% probability of being rated as more empathic than human practitioners in head-to-head comparisons. “In text-only scenarios, AI chatbots are frequently perceived as more empathic than human HCPs,” study authors wrote. The meta-analysis from the Universities of Nottingham and Leicester pooled data from 13 of the 15 studies comparing AI chatbots to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers.
Studies drawing from Reddit health forums and patient portals showed similar trends. Questions ranged from interpreting blood test results to managing chronic conditions to understanding cancer treatment options. Across this variety, AI responses were more likely to be rated as warm, understanding, and considerate of patient concerns. The studies couldn’t determine whether AI’s perceived empathy advantage translates to better health outcomes. While empathic communication has been linked to reduced patient pain and anxiety, improved medication adherence, and higher satisfaction with care, these studies measured perception rather than clinical impact.
The findings suggest that empathetic AI can provide valuable support in healthcare fields, thereby enhancing the roles these technologies can play in our everyday lives. While the results were strong, this study represents a broad perspective and does not account for differences in socio-cultural backgrounds among participants. Cultural differences can greatly influence how empathy is perceived and assessed. Future work could look closely at how people from different backgrounds view empathetic responses in both humans and AI to enhance understanding in this area.
12. What is the main finding of the analysis?
A. Empathy is a unique human skill beyond AI’s reach.
B. Patients find AI’s medical replies more sympathetic.
C. AI provides more effective treatment plans than humans.
D. AI shows greater competence in routine patient inquiries.
13. What’s the primary purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To present research evidence. B. To explain underlying causes.
C. To predict future developments. D. To describe relevant background.
14. What can be implied from paragraph 3?
A. AI’s empathy is irrelevant to patient satisfaction.
B. AI’s empathy may not improve actual clinical outcomes.
C. AI’s assistance is widely applied across different patient groups.
D. AI’s empathy can directly lead to better health conditions of patients.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the studies?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective.

Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. However, the best time for exercise is different for each person.____16____
Determine when you have the most energy. Do you struggle to get out of the bed in the morning or do you wake up energized and ready to go? Are you a night owl and never get to bed before midnight?

Consider your daily schedule. When are you the busiest?____18____Try to fit in exercise before or at least around these events. Some people would prefer to get it out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put it off until the end of the day when they are all caught up.
Determine your exercise goals. If you are trying to develop a routine, you may want to exercise in the morning. People who exercise in the morning are more consistent.____19____If you are trying to improve your performance, evening exercise may be best. You may experience less tiredness, quicker reaction times, and more strength and flexibility in the evening.

____20____This way, you’ll see how you feel and find the time that works best with your schedule. Keep an exercise log to help you evaluate each time.
A. This will give your body time to relax.
B. Do you perform better in the morning or at night?

Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.
One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.
After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.
“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.
The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.
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。
Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice.

Everything seemed to change after that art show.

For most of her life, Reese Dankenberger’s world centered around the pool. Growing up, she spent countless hours on swim practice and competitions. Swimming wasn’t just a sport — it was her routine, her challenge, and her passion.
Yet, behind her achievements was a hidden struggle. As a young athlete, Reese suffered from POTS, a condition that caused her heart rate to rise whenever she stood, often leaving her dizzy and tired. It was a threat not only to her swimming but also to her everyday life. Years of medical appointments and treatments eventually stabilized her condition, allowing her to continue competing and sparking a new curiosity about biomedical research.
Initially, Reese was torn between pursuing a clinical career and a scientific one. “I’ve been the patient. I’ve been on the other side of medicine,” she said. “The goal is to improve quality of life, but there are many paths to get there.” The choice became clearer during her senior year at Tulane University in Louisiana when she spent the summer as a research fellow at Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute. Working in John Chappell’s lab, she studied blood vessel (血管) development in the brain, which helped her understand her heart condition. The experience encouraged her to focus on chronic (慢性的) conditions, hoping to help others who face similar uncertainties.
Now, Reese joins Virginia Tech’s Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health Graduate Program. She values the program’s collaborative approach, where students from diverse backgrounds, including biology, neuroscience, and exercise psychology, learn from one another. “Each of us brings a different perspective, which helps tackle problems in new ways,” she said.
For Reese, the pool taught discipline and perseverance, but her experiences with POTS shaped her purpose. From laps in the water to hours in the lab, she has turned personal challenges into drive to improve the lives of others.
4. What led Reese to focus on biomedical research?
A. Her countless swim practices. B. Her training at Tulane University.
C. Her experiences with POTS. D. Her interest in chronic diseases.
5. What does Reese value most about her current graduate program?
A. Its sports-centered research focus.
B. The cross-field teamwork benefits.
C. Its down-to-earth research methods.
D. The chance to work with professionals.
6. What’s the core of Reese’s life goal now?
A. Winning sports competitions. B. Curing her own heart condition.
C. Pursuing a teaching career. D. Promoting well-being of others.
7. What message does Reese’s story mainly deliver?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Turn lemons into lemonade.
C. Well begun is half done. D. Together we stand, divided we fall.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了游泳运动员Reese Dankenberger如何将自己与POTS抗争的个人经历,转化为致力于生物医学研究以帮助其他慢性病患者的动力,完成了从泳池到实验室的人生转变。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Years of medical appointments and treatments eventually stabilized her condition, allowing her to continue competing and sparking a new curiosity about biomedical research. (多年的医疗检查和治疗最终使她的病情得到了控制,使她能够继续参加比赛,并激发了她对生物医学研究的新兴趣。)”可知,Reese的POTS患病经历使她专注于生物医学研究。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“She values the program’s collaborative approach, where students from diverse backgrounds, including biology, neuroscience, and exercise psychology, learn from one another. (她非常赞赏该项目的协作模式,因为在这个模式中,来自不同背景的学生,包括生物学、神经科学和运动心理学专业的学生,能够相互学习。)”可知,她最看重的是跨领域团队合作的好处。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“For Reese, the pool taught discipline and perseverance, but her experiences with POTS shaped her purpose. From laps in the water to hours in the lab, she has turned personal challenges into drive to improve the lives of others. (对于Reese来说,游泳池教会了她自律和坚韧的品质,但她与POTS的斗争经历则塑造了她的目标。从在水中的游动到在实验室里的长时间工作,她将个人的挑战转化为推动改善他人生活的动力。)”可知,她当前人生目标的核心是促进他人的福祉。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“From laps in the water to hours in the lab, she has turned personal challenges into drive to improve the lives of others. (从在水中的游动到在实验室里的长时间工作,她将个人的挑战转化为推动改善他人生活的动力。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Reese作为一名游泳运动员,身患POTS疾病,但她没有被打倒,反而将这段痛苦的患病经历转化为研究慢性病的动力和帮助他人的目标。因此,其核心在于展示Reese如何将个人逆境转化为积极行动和人生新方向的过程,这正是“把酸柠檬做成柠檬汁”(化逆境为机遇)这一谚语的体现。A. 熟能生巧;C. 良好的开端是成功的一半;D. 合则立,分则亡。故选B项。

Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author?
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4?
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary?
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing?
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants?
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries?
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过对比数字写作助手和字典指出,在数字写作普及的当下,字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用,最后点明我们比以往更需要字典。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view.(词典让我们写作时并非依靠万无一失的便捷,而是能够展现独特性和观点)”可知,字典能帮助我们写出有原创性的内容。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“a practice that dictionaries facilitate(字典促进这种做法)”和“while”表示的对比关系可知,stifle和facilitate含义相反,即“抑制、阻碍”,选项中discourage“阻拦、使气馁”意思一致。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。第四段开头“Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language.(我们表达自我的能力至关重要——它帮助我们定义自己是谁。词典有助于我们实现这一目标:它们通过语言将我们独特的思维方式进行分类)”点明观点:表达自我的能力帮助我们定义自身身份,字典能帮我们保留独有的语言表达。下文“I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.(我是加拿大人;我对祖国的自豪感因一些小小的加拿大式词汇而得到增强,比如“檐沟”或“餐巾纸”,这些词汇在词典中有详细记载,但在大多数情况下,人工智能聊天机器人很少使用它们)”作者举这两个加拿大特有的词汇,是为了说明:这类特有语言能增强本土身份认同感,即语言使用会影响个人/群体身份。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段“As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.(随着数字写作深入我们的生活和思维,我们对词典的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。放弃词典而转向机械化写作,将同等程度地削弱我们建立集体认同的能力和表达自我的能力)”可知,全文对比数字写作助手和字典,层层论述:在数字写作普及的当下,字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用,结尾点明我们比以往更需要字典。由此可知,A项“为什么要保留字典?”适合作本文标题。故选A。
D
A surprising analysis of 15 studies reveals that patients perceive more warmth in AI-generated medical responses than in those from human doctors. The largest study examined 2,164 patient interactions, with similar patterns emerging across smaller datasets. The results, published in the British Medical Bulletin, challenge long-held assumptions about human connection in medicine and run counter to a 2019 UK government report that called empathy an “essential human skill that AI cannot replicate (复制).”
ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots scored roughly 2 points higher than human healthcare professionals (HCPs) on 10-point empathy scales when responding to patient questions via text. AI had a 73% probability of being rated as more empathic than human practitioners in head-to-head comparisons. “In text-only scenarios, AI chatbots are frequently perceived as more empathic than human HCPs,” study authors wrote. The meta-analysis from the Universities of Nottingham and Leicester pooled data from 13 of the 15 studies comparing AI chatbots to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers.
Studies drawing from Reddit health forums and patient portals showed similar trends. Questions ranged from interpreting blood test results to managing chronic conditions to understanding cancer treatment options. Across this variety, AI responses were more likely to be rated as warm, understanding, and considerate of patient concerns. The studies couldn’t determine whether AI’s perceived empathy advantage translates to better health outcomes. While empathic communication has been linked to reduced patient pain and anxiety, improved medication adherence, and higher satisfaction with care, these studies measured perception rather than clinical impact.
The findings suggest that empathetic AI can provide valuable support in healthcare fields, thereby enhancing the roles these technologies can play in our everyday lives. While the results were strong, this study represents a broad perspective and does not account for differences in socio-cultural backgrounds among participants. Cultural differences can greatly influence how empathy is perceived and assessed. Future work could look closely at how people from different backgrounds view empathetic responses in both humans and AI to enhance understanding in this area.
12. What is the main finding of the analysis?
A. Empathy is a unique human skill beyond AI’s reach.
B. Patients find AI’s medical replies more sympathetic.
C. AI provides more effective treatment plans than humans.
D. AI shows greater competence in routine patient inquiries.
13. What’s the primary purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To present research evidence. B. To explain underlying causes.
C. To predict future developments. D. To describe relevant background.
14. What can be implied from paragraph 3?
A. AI’s empathy is irrelevant to patient satisfaction.
B. AI’s empathy may not improve actual clinical outcomes.
C. AI’s assistance is widely applied across different patient groups.
D. AI’s empathy can directly lead to better health conditions of patients.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the studies?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现患者认为 AI 医疗回复比医生更有同理心,并给出相关数据。但未证实其能提升疗效,且研究未考虑社会文化差异,态度客观。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A surprising analysis of 15 studies reveals that patients perceive more warmth in AI-generated medical responses than in those from human doctors.(对15项研究的意外分析表明,患者在面对由人工智能生成的医疗回复时,感受到的温暖程度要高于从人类医生那里得到的回复)”可知,该分析的主要发现是患者认为人工智能给出的医疗回复更具同情心。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots scored roughly 2 points higher than human healthcare professionals (HCPs) on 10-point empathy scales when responding to patient questions via text. AI had a 73% probability of being rated as more empathic than human practitioners in head-to-head comparisons. “In text-only scenarios, AI chatbots are frequently perceived as more empathic than human HCPs,” study authors wrote. The meta-analysis from the Universities of Nottingham and Leicester pooled data from 13 of the 15 studies comparing AI chatbots to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers.(在通过文字回答患者问题时,ChatGPT和类似的AI聊天机器人在10分制的同理心评估量表上的得分比人类医疗专业人员(HCP)高出约2分。在一对一的对比测试中,AI被认为比人类从业者更具同理心的概率为73%。研究作者写道:“在纯文字情境下,AI聊天机器人通常被认为比人类医疗专业人员更具同理心。”诺丁汉大学和莱斯特大学的这项荟萃分析汇集了15项研究中13项将AI聊天机器人与医生、护士和其他医疗工作者进行比较的数据)”可知,第二段的主要目的是展示研究证据。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The studies couldn’t determine whether AI’s perceived empathy advantage translates to better health outcomes.(这些研究无法确定人工智能所具有的“同理心”优势是否能转化为更良好的健康结果)”可知,人工智能的同理心可能不会改善实际的临床效果。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the results were strong, this study represents a broad perspective and does not account for differences in socio-cultural backgrounds among participants. Cultural differences can greatly influence how empathy is perceived and assessed.(虽然研究结果十分显著,但这项研究视角较为宽泛,并未考虑到参与者之间在社会文化背景方面的差异。文化差异会对同理心的感知和评估产生重大影响)”可知,作者对这些研究持客观态度。故选D。

第二节 单句语法填空(共10小题;每小题1. 5分,满分15分)
阅读下面句子,填入选必三Unit1-Unit3单词的正确形式,使句子有意义,每空不超过三个单词。
36. He told the police he ________ (undergo) a frightening experience near the bank the day before. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had undergone
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:他告诉警察,前一天他在银行附近有过一次可怕的经历。空处为宾语从句的谓语动词,结合句意及主句谓语told可知,此处表示从句动作undergo发生在“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时had undergone。故填had undergone。
37. ________ (emerge) stronger from failures is what truly counts in one’s growth. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Emerging
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。 句意:在失败中变得更强大,这才是一个人成长中真正重要的东西。_______(emerge) stronger from failures作主语,其后有谓语动词is,要将动词emerge变成非谓语动词。由于“在失败中变得更强大”是抽象概念,表示经历,要用emerge的动名词emerging,放在句首时首字母e要大写。故填Emerging。
38. There is a famous saying based on the philosophy of Aristotle: “We are what we ________ (repeat) do.” (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】repeatedly
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:亚里士多德哲学中有一句名言:“我们重复的行为造就了我们。”本空修饰谓语动词do,用副词repeatedly“重复地,反复地”。故填repeatedly。
39. Even though Buddhism entered China much earlier, it did not really begin to show ______ (expand) until the seventh century. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】expansion
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:尽管佛教进入中国的时间要早得多,但它直到公元7世纪才真正开始扩张。空前是动词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,expand的名词形式是expansion意为“扩张”。故填expansion。
40. ________ (compose) mainly of fresh air, green trees and clean rivers, the natural park provides a quiet and comfortable environment for people to enjoy their free time. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Composed
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:这个自然公园主要由清新的空气、绿树和清澈的河流构成,为人们提供了安静舒适的休闲环境。此处为非谓语动词作状语,compose与the natural park之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词作状语, be composed of为固定搭配,意为“由……组成”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Composed。
41. This suggestion is worthy ________ (consider) before we make the final decision. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to be considered##of being considered
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意:在我们做出最后决定之前,这个建议值得考虑。be worthy to be done/of being done为固定搭配,意为“值得被……”,所以consider变为to be considered或of being considered。故填to be considered/of being considered。
42. Many festivals ________ (origin) from old traditions passed down by our ancestors. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】originate
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意:许多节日起源于我们祖先传承下来的古老传统。句子缺少谓语动词,origin为名词,其动词形式为originate,主语Many festivals为复数,且描述客观事实用一般现在时。故填originate。
43. As long as we keep an open mind and be ________ (tolerate) of different choices, misunderstandings can be avoided. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】tolerant
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:只要我们保持开放的心态,对不同的选择持宽容态度,误解就可以避免。本空作表语,用形容词tolerant,意为“宽容的,容忍的”。故填tolerant。
44. Before you start your trip, you should decide ________ a proper place to visit with your family. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】on##upon
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:在你开始旅行之前,你应该决定一个合适的地方和你的家人一起去参观。结合语意可知,此处表示“决定一个合适的地方”,decide on/upon为固定搭配,表示“决定,选定”,符合语境。故填on/upon。
45. The expert said ______ from the position of its dead body, the bear appeared to have starved and died. (根据句意单词拼写)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意:专家说,从它尸体的位置来看,这只熊似乎是饿死的。said后接宾语从句,句意和句子结构完整,连接词为that。故填that。

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。
Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.
One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.
After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.
“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.
The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.

【答案】Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice. She introduced herself to all of us formally on the stage, including her name, her hometown, her interests and so on. Following is her beautiful and amazing dance. As she was dancing, another student called Mike, began to play the violin as her background music. Such a shy and silent boy is he that they never know he is good at playing the violin. Students off the stage clapped their hands loudly as the final note ended. And then, they began to come to the stage and share their stories one by one. The art show lasted for two hours that day and everyone enjoyed it so much.
Everything seemed to change after that art show. They began to communicate with others and make new friends. Besides, they took part in the class and school activities actively, which made them integrate into the new class and school better.
