Seven children line up,awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s suburbs, a garbage-site-turned- park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli,who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck. ”Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy” : the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to recycle abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
4. What might be a problem Lagos is facing?
A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management.
C. Limited recreational (娱乐的) activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth.
5. What made Amara determined to build parks?
A. Losses from natural disasters. B. People’s ignorance of climate change.
C. Disappointment in government failure. D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education.
6. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project?
A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Patience.
7. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act.

It was 3:30 in the morning. I was holding my baby, scrolling through eBay and feeling groggy(昏昏沉沉的). I had a brief out-of-body experience, seeing myself as an outsider. There was my baby, gazing up at me, and there was me, looking down at my phone. I was horrified. It was then that I decided to “break up” with my phone and set better boundaries.
Our most time-sucking apps are designed to grab our attention because that’s how their creators make money. These apps are part of the “attention economy”, where our attention and data are sold. We are not the customers of these apps; advertisers are. We are the product, tricked into giving our most valuable asset(资产)—our attention—away for free.
We only experience what we pay attention to; we only remember what we pay attention to. Sure, there are many reasons to pay attention to our phones. But like time, our attention is limited: Every minute spent scrolling is a minute not spent on something else.
App makers use psychological tricks from gambling. These tricks control the release of dopamine(多巴胺), a chemical that motivates us to repeat behaviors. This system doesn’t distinguish between good and bad behaviors—it just encourages repetition. Phones and apps are packed with dopamine triggers. Bright colors, novelty, unpredictability, and rewards like social approval are all dopamine triggers. This is why social media, news, email, games and shopping apps are so addictive.
If we don’t recognize what is happening and fight back, we risk becoming like lab rats trained to press a lever(控制杆) for food. One of the first steps I took was to minimize my exposure to dopamine triggers by turning off most notifications(通知), hiding or deleting my most time-sucking apps, and turning my phone’s screen to black and white. I also banned my phone from my bedroom and the dining table and charged it in a closet at night.
My relationship with my phone still isn’t perfect—no relationship ever is. But it has improved in ways I never would have anticipated.
8. Why did the author decide to “break up” with her phone?
A. She needed more sleep.
B. She found apps too boring.
C. She wanted to reduce her spending on eBay.
D. She realized her attention was being guided unfairly.
9. Who are the real customers of apps in the “attention economy” according to the author?
A. Phone users. B. Advertisers.
C. App creators. D. Data analysts.
10. How do app makers make their apps addictive?
A. By limiting user choices.
B. By targeting dopamine triggers.
C. By providing useful content.
D. By offering various rewards.
11. What does the author want to convey in this article?
A. Breaking up with your phone is easy.
B. Phones are designed to be addictive.
C. Don’t let your phone steal your attention.
D. More time should be devoted to family.
D
Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing; being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing. My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university. Most of our exams were oral exams, and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone.
Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time. When presented with a problem, students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories, but they also need to apply them-sometimes in ways they never anticipated.
Students often fall into a familiar trap. They read the textbooks, highlight key passages, and review lecture notes. These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly.
Consuming information is not the same as developing skills. The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about. Reading about calculations doesn’t automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems. Those pathways only form through deliberate practice: by solving problems, making mistakes, and experiencing the struggle.
As a general rule, the harder your brain works during practice, the better it performs when it matters. To truly master something, you should embrace challenges and accept the slow, often frustrating, pace of true learning. The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive learning. Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem, there’s nowhere to hide. The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding. To truly know what we don’t know, we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own.
12. What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply.
C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly.
13. Why do students fall into the learning trap?
A. Because of over-reliance on textbooks.
B. Because of brilliant exam performance.
C. Because of a false sense of competence.
D. Because of overemphasis on memory skills.
14. Which of the following statements might Daniel T. Willingham agree with?
A. Repeated exposure strengthens memories.
B. Active engagement builds solid memory.
C. Memory improves with extensive reading.
D. Learning occurs when teachers ask questions.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Passive Learning: The Silent Killer of Exams
B. Conscious Practice: The Best Way to Learn Math
C. Oral Math Exams: The Frustrating University Tests
D. Active Learning: The Key to Mastering Knowledge

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。
I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.

Seven children line up,awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s suburbs, a garbage-site-turned- park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli,who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck. ”Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy” : the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to recycle abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
4. What might be a problem Lagos is facing?
A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management.
C. Limited recreational (娱乐的) activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth.
5. What made Amara determined to build parks?
A. Losses from natural disasters. B. People’s ignorance of climate change.
C. Disappointment in government failure. D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education.
6. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project?
A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Patience.
7. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

(但是,后来,她意识到这就是所谓的尼日利亚“气候冷漠”:将洪水、热浪和干旱看作孤立事件,而不是地球变暖的后果。)”以及第三段“I wanted to change the mindset. (我想要改变这种心态。)”可知,是人们对气候变化的无知和漠视让阿玛拉决心建造公园。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends,she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. (阿玛拉首先向拉各斯州政府提出了申请,该政府提供了土地,但附加了一些限制条件,使得长期建设变得不可能。经过数月的无果努力后,她改变了策略,开始寻找那些对高风险社区来说易于到达的替代场地。最终,阿玛拉获得了一个垃圾场的使用。)”可知,她在遇到困难时及时调整策略,体现出灵活变通的品质。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.’ (我采取行动,别人看到,他们也想行动。然后一起行动,影响就会扩大。)”可知,阿玛拉想传达的是:小小的行动也能带来巨大改变。故选A。

It was 3:30 in the morning. I was holding my baby, scrolling through eBay and feeling groggy(昏昏沉沉的). I had a brief out-of-body experience, seeing myself as an outsider. There was my baby, gazing up at me, and there was me, looking down at my phone. I was horrified. It was then that I decided to “break up” with my phone and set better boundaries.
Our most time-sucking apps are designed to grab our attention because that’s how their creators make money. These apps are part of the “attention economy”, where our attention and data are sold. We are not the customers of these apps; advertisers are. We are the product, tricked into giving our most valuable asset(资产)—our attention—away for free.
We only experience what we pay attention to; we only remember what we pay attention to. Sure, there are many reasons to pay attention to our phones. But like time, our attention is limited: Every minute spent scrolling is a minute not spent on something else.
App makers use psychological tricks from gambling. These tricks control the release of dopamine(多巴胺), a chemical that motivates us to repeat behaviors. This system doesn’t distinguish between good and bad behaviors—it just encourages repetition. Phones and apps are packed with dopamine triggers. Bright colors, novelty, unpredictability, and rewards like social approval are all dopamine triggers. This is why social media, news, email, games and shopping apps are so addictive.
If we don’t recognize what is happening and fight back, we risk becoming like lab rats trained to press a lever(控制杆) for food. One of the first steps I took was to minimize my exposure to dopamine triggers by turning off most notifications(通知), hiding or deleting my most time-sucking apps, and turning my phone’s screen to black and white. I also banned my phone from my bedroom and the dining table and charged it in a closet at night.
My relationship with my phone still isn’t perfect—no relationship ever is. But it has improved in ways I never would have anticipated.
8. Why did the author decide to “break up” with her phone?
A. She needed more sleep.
B. She found apps too boring.
C. She wanted to reduce her spending on eBay.
D. She realized her attention was being guided unfairly.
9. Who are the real customers of apps in the “attention economy” according to the author?
A. Phone users. B. Advertisers.
C. App creators. D. Data analysts.
10. How do app makers make their apps addictive?
A. By limiting user choices.
B. By targeting dopamine triggers.
C. By providing useful content.
D. By offering various rewards.
11. What does the author want to convey in this article?
A. Breaking up with your phone is easy.
B. Phones are designed to be addictive.
C. Don’t let your phone steal your attention.
D. More time should be devoted to family.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It was 3:30 in the morning. I was holding my baby, scrolling through eBay and feeling groggy. I had a brief out-of-body experience, seeing myself as an outsider. There was my baby, gazing up at me, and there was me, looking down at my phone. I was horrified. It was then that I decided to “break up” with my phone and set better boundaries.( 当时是凌晨三点三十分。我抱着我的宝宝,一边浏览着易贝网站,一边感到昏昏欲睡。我有过一次短暂的“灵魂出窍”的体验,感觉自己仿佛置身事外。画面中是我的宝宝,正抬头望着我,而我则低头看着手机。我感到非常震惊。就在那时,我决定“与手机断绝关系”,并设定更好的界限。)”以及第二段中“Our most time-sucking apps are designed to grab our attention because that’s how their creators make money.( 那些最耗费我们时间的应用程序之所以设计得能吸引我们的注意力,是因为这是其开发者赚钱的方式。)”可推知,作者的核心触动是意识到自己的注意力正被手机不合理地占据和引导,忽略了身边的孩子,这是她决定与手机划清界限的根本原因。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“These apps are part of the “attention economy”, where our attention and data are sold. We are not the customers of these apps; advertisers are.( 这些应用程序是“注意力经济”的一部分,在这种经济模式中,我们的注意力和数据被出售。我们并非这些应用程序的客户;广告商才是。)”可知,根据作者的观点,在“注意力经济”中,应用程序的真正用户广告商。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Phones and apps are packed with dopamine triggers. Bright colors, novelty, unpredictability, and rewards like social approval are all dopamine triggers. This is why social media, news, email, games and shopping apps are so addictive.( 手机和应用程序中充斥着能刺激多巴胺分泌的元素。鲜艳的色彩、新奇感、不确定性以及诸如获得社会认可之类的奖励,都是多巴胺的刺激因素。这就是为什么社交媒体、新闻、电子邮件、游戏和购物应用程序如此容易让人上瘾。)”可知,应用程序开发者通过设置各类多巴胺触发点(鲜艳色彩、新鲜感、不可预测性、社交认可等)刺激多巴胺分泌,促使使用者重复使用行为,让应用程序产生成瘾性。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第五段中“If we don’t recognize what is happening and fight back, we risk becoming like lab rats trained to press a lever(控制杆) for food.( 如果我们不意识到正在发生的事情并加以抵制,我们就有可能变得像那些被训练去按控制杆获取食物的实验鼠一样。)”可知,文章以作者自身沉迷手机的经历为切入点,揭露“注意力经济”下应用程序刻意抢夺注意力的本质,分析应用程序利用多巴胺触发点造成成瘾性的原理,还分享了自己对抗手机沉迷的方法,核心主旨是提醒读者警惕手机对注意力的侵占,主动守护自己的注意力。故选C项。
D
Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing; being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing. My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university. Most of our exams were oral exams, and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone.
Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time. When presented with a problem, students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories, but they also need to apply them-sometimes in ways they never anticipated.
Students often fall into a familiar trap. They read the textbooks, highlight key passages, and review lecture notes. These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly.
Consuming information is not the same as developing skills. The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about. Reading about calculations doesn’t automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems. Those pathways only form through deliberate practice: by solving problems, making mistakes, and experiencing the struggle.
As a general rule, the harder your brain works during practice, the better it performs when it matters. To truly master something, you should embrace challenges and accept the slow, often frustrating, pace of true learning. The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive learning. Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem, there’s nowhere to hide. The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding. To truly know what we don’t know, we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own.
12. What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply.
C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly.
13. Why do students fall into the learning trap?
A. Because of over-reliance on textbooks.
B. Because of brilliant exam performance.
C. Because of a false sense of competence.
D. Because of overemphasis on memory skills.
14. Which of the following statements might Daniel T. Willingham agree with?
A. Repeated exposure strengthens memories.
B. Active engagement builds solid memory.
C. Memory improves with extensive reading.
D. Learning occurs when teachers ask questions.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Passive Learning: The Silent Killer of Exams
B. Conscious Practice: The Best Way to Learn Math
C. Oral Math Exams: The Frustrating University Tests
D. Active Learning: The Key to Mastering Knowledge
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了被动学习无法让人真正掌握知识,通过大学数学口试的经历,强调主动学习、刻意练习才是掌握知识的关键。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time.(与笔试不同,视觉学习者在笔试中可能会对自己几乎不理解的背诵笔记进行parrot back,而口试则需要实时的创造性思维。)”可知,笔试中学习者可能只是重复记忆的笔记,并未真正理解,与口试的创造性思维形成对比。因此“parrot back”表示“机械重复”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly.(这些活动让人感觉很有成效,但当考试日到来时,学生往往会意识到,他们对材料的被动熟悉并不能转化为应用能力,也不能转化为好成绩。被动学习具有误导性。感觉我们在进步,但如果不实际应用所学,知识很快就会溜走。)”可知,学生陷入学习陷阱是因为被动学习带来了虚假的能力感,让他们误以为自己掌握了知识。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about.(认知心理学家丹尼尔·T·威林厄姆在解释被动学习和主动学习的区别时写道:“记忆是思考的结果。”换句话说,我们会忘记大部分遇到的东西,只记住我们思考过的东西。)”可知,威林厄姆认为记忆源于思考,即主动参与才能形成牢固的记忆。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章通过大学数学口试的经历引出被动学习的弊端,引用心理学家的观点强调“记忆是思考的结果”,并指出主动练习、迎接挑战才是真正掌握知识的方式,所以题目“主动学习是掌握知识的关键”概括了全文的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。

【16题详解】
上文“Fewer errors. Humans can get tired or distracted, leading to mistakes. AI, however, can operate 24/7 without getting tired, providing consistent performance.( 错误更少。人类可能会疲惫或分心,从而导致错误。然而,人工智能可以全天候运行,不会感到疲倦,能提供稳定的表现。)”阐述AI 的优势 —— 无疲劳、无分心,表现稳定,减少错误。F项“This makes AI ideal for repetitive tasks, reducing errors and improving safety.( 这让 AI 成为重复性工作的理想选择,减少错误并提升安全性。)”中,This指代前文 AI“低误差、持续工作”的特性,且reducing errors与前文“Fewer errors”直接呼应,完美衔接,说明该特性带来的具体应用价值。故选F项。
【17题详解】
上文“AI excels at processing vast amounts of data at incredible speeds. What might take humans days to analyze, AI can do within minutes, enabling quick insights and data-driven decision-making.( 人工智能在处理海量数据方面表现出色,速度惊人。人类可能需要几天时间来分析某些数据,而人工智能可以在几分钟内完成,从而实现快速的洞察和基于数据的决策。)”提到AI 的核心优势 ——高速分析海量数据,能快速得出结论、辅助数据驱动决策。G 项“This capability is invaluable in fields such as finance, healthcare and marketing.( 这种能力在金融、医疗、营销等领域具有不可估量的价值。)”中,This capability指代 AI “快速数据分析”的能力,且后文“where timely information is crucial(及时的信息至关重要)”列举的领域是对“及时信息有高需求”的典型领域,说明该能力的适用场景。故选G项。
【18题详解】
下文“AI can replace jobs, especially those involving repetitive or dangerous tasks. While this can free humans to engage in more creative and fulfilling work, it can also lead to job displacement.( 人工智能可能会取代工作,尤其是那些涉及重复或危险任务的工作。虽然这可以解放人类从事更具创造性和更有意义的工作,但也可能导致工作岗位的流失。)”提到AI 会替代重复性、高危工作,导致工作岗位流失,虽长期有积极影响,但短期存在阵痛。A 项“Job losses(失业问题)”是对后文整段内容的核心概括,作为该段小标题,直接点明 AI 的这一弊端,后文均围绕“AI 造成岗位流失”展开论述,逻辑清晰。故选A项。
【19题详解】
该段小标题为“Moral dilemmas(道德困境)”,核心讲 AI 带来的道德问题。E项“AI operates purely on logic, which can create moral issues.( AI 完全依逻辑运行,这会引发道德问题。)”中,create moral issues与小标题“Moral dilemmas” 直接对应,且后文“For instance, in a potential accident, an autonomous vehicle must choose the lesser evil based on its programming, not human instincts. This poses significant moral challenges.(例如,在可能出现的事故中,自动驾驶车辆必须依据其程序来做出选择,而非依赖人类的直觉。这带来了重大的道德难题。)”以自动驾驶车辆的道德选择为例,正是对“AI 依逻辑运行引发道德问题”的具体举例,起到“总起后文”的作用。故选E项。
【20题详解】
上文“AI’s potential to analyze vast amounts of data and perform tasks tirelessly presents both opportunities and challenges.( 人工智能能够分析海量数据并持续执行任务的这种能力,既带来了机遇,也带来了挑战。)”总结 AI 的双重性 ——兼具机遇与挑战;下文“understanding its limitations and moral implications is crucial.( 理解其局限性和道德影响至关重要。)”说明理解其局限性和道德内涵至关重要。C 项“While it offers many benefits(尽管它带来诸多益处)”中,While引导让步状语,与后文形成“让步 - 转折”逻辑:尽管 AI 有好处,但仍需重视其问题,完美契合前文“机遇与挑战并存”的核心,且it指代 AI,衔接自然。故选C项。

Dear teachers and students,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear teachers and students,
Nowadays, worsening air and water pollution pose a grave/ severe threat to the diversity of species and human health. As chairman of the Student Union, I feel obliged (有责任的) to appeal to you to do your part to build up a low-carbon city.
Initially, it’s advisable that we rely on public transport to and from school, which not only helps cut carbon emissions but also reduces traffic jams. Besides, we can’t attach enough significance to energy saving. We can start small by turning off taps after washing hands and switching the lights off when nobody’s in. Trivial (微不足道的) as each action seems, it will make an enormous difference.
Many hands make light work. Only when everyone gets involved in protecting environment can a bright and promising future be guaranteed. You can’t be absent!

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.

Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.

【答案】参考范文
Para 1
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number? I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure.
Para 2
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like Gunter.
