Passage 3 People's first memories are all autobiographical(自传式的)，or memories of significant experiences in their lives,and these events typically didn't happen before the age of 2 or 3.In fact,most people can't remember things from the first few years of their lives-a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia. However,research suggests that infants can form other kinds of memories.Within the first few days of life,infants can recall their own mother's face and distinguish it from the face of a stranger.A few months later,infants can demonstrate that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often. But if so,why do people experience infantile amnesia?Though it still isn't clear whether it's because we can't form autobiographical memories,or whether we just have no way to retrieve (them,scientists have a few guesses. One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby's nose with a spot of red lipstick. Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror.Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection,not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face.Between 18 and 24 months,infants touch their own nose,even looking embarrassed,suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face-they start to form some sense of self. Another possible explanation is that because infants don't have language until later in the second year of life,and they can't form narratives about their own lives that they can later recall.Finally,the hippocampus(海马体)，which is the region of the brain that's largely responsible for memory,isn't fully developed in the infancy period. Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors may contribute to infantile amnesia. 7.What can infants do in their first few months? A.Memorize most of their family members. B.Identify their own reflections in the mirror. C.Distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces. D.Remember a string of events from the recent past. 密卷 二轮专题精准提升（十一）英语第2页（共8页） 8.What do infants tend to do after 18 months,according to the rouge test? A.Ignore the marks on their faces.

C.Why is it hard to retrieve lost memories? D.When do babies start remembering things? Passage 4 Approximately 27%of jobs are at high risk of automation amid the artificial intelligence revolution,according to a news report. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD),a global policy forum that includes 38 members,said in a Tuesday report that high-skill occupations are still at least risk of automation. Low-to-middle skilled jobs are most at risk,including construction,farming, fishing,forestry and,to a lesser extent,production and transportation,the report said. The report said that while adoption of Al is still relatively low,rapid progress,falling technology costs and the increasing availability of workers with AI skills suggest that OECD countries may be on the edge of an AI revolution. The OECD also found that there is little evidence of negative employment effects for firms that adopt AI so far,and workers and employees report that AI can reduce tedious and dangerous tasks,which workers dream of getting rid of. Nevertheless,concerns about Al in the workforce continue to spread,with the survey last year finding that three in five workers are worried about losing their jobs to AI within the next decade.Additionally,a similar number worry that wages would decrease due to Al,more than half of workers are concerned about privacy and three in four say that AI has increased work pace.Rapid development and adoption mean that new skills will be needed and others will become old-fashioned,advising that governments encourage employers to provide more training,integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the Al workforce. The OECD said its report highlights the "urgent need for policy action"to address AI risks in the workplace and to ensure "accountability and transparency for employment- related decisions supported by AI" "The recent acceleration of generative Al-related developments and tools marks a technological watershed (with material implications in many workplaces.There is a real need to consider longer-term policy frameworks on the use of AI in the workplace and to continue to foster international cooperation to maximize the benefits while appropriately managing the downside risks,"OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann said in a statement. ll.What does the underlined word“tedious”in Paragraph4mean？ A.Curious. B.Tiresome. C.Influential. D.Ridiculous. 12.What can we learn from the news report? A.AI automation has many benefits for employees. B.Governments have done a lot to deal with AI automation. C.Most workforce are depressed to find their job taken place of by Al. D.60%of workforce are concerned about being out of work in ten years. 13.How can people keep pace with AI automation according to the OECD? A.They should increase their work pace. B.They should employ more AI related tools. C.They should receive training on skills and education. D.They should accept lower wages of old-fashioned skills. 二轮专题精准提升（十一）英语第3页（共8页） 真题 14.What is the main idea of the passage? A.AI automation puts some of the jobs at high risk. B.AI automation will maximize its benefits in the future. C.AI automation has made big progress and decreased costs. D.AI automation will benefit both workforce and policy makers. Passage 5 Teaching an AI system to make good decisions is no easy task.AI learning models, which underlie AI decision-making systems,often fail when faced with even small variations in the tasks they are trained to perform.In the case of traffic,a model might struggle to control a set of intersections(交叉路口)with varying speed limits,numbers of lanes(车道)，or traffic patterns. To boost the reliability of models for complex tasks,MIT researchers have developed a more efficient algorithm to train AI systems for complex decision-making tasks. The new algorithm,known as Model-Based Transfer Learning (MBTL),strategically selects the best tasks for training an AI agent to perform effectively across a collection of related tasks.This approach maximizes performance while keeping training costs low. Traditionally,engineers train algorithms for traffic lights at multiple intersections by either training one algorithm per intersection independently or training a single,larger algorithm using data from all intersections.The first method is time-consuming and data- intensive,while the second often results in subpar performance. Cathy Wu,a senior author and member of MIT's Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS),explains that they sought a sweet spot between these two approaches."We wondered if we could train on a subset of tasks,apply the result to all tasks,and still see a performance increase,"Wu says. MBTL models how well each algorithm would perform if trained independently and how its performance would degrade when adapted to other tasks,a concept known as generalization performance.By modeling generalization performance,MBTL estimates the value of training on new tasks.It selects tasks one after another based on their value, starting with those that offer the highest performance gain,then chooses additional tasks that provide the most significant improvements to overall performance.This focus on the most promising tasks dramatically improves training efficiency. In the future,the researchers plan to design MBTL algorithms that can extend to more complex missions,such as high-dimensional task spaces.They are also interested in applying their approach to real-world contexts,especially in next-generation mobility systems. 15.Why is the case of traffic mentioned in Paragraph 1?

Passage 6 Among the dog products by Dr Lisa,an Australian pet-care brand,you will find a cleanser for sensitive skin,a soothing balm and a cologne.All are free of genetically 密卷 二轮专题精准提升（十一）英语第4页（共8页） modified ingredients.Still,dogs desiring meat need not eat like animals:Butternut Box, a maker of fresh pet food taste-tested by humans,can offer your furry friend a low-fat chicken dish with peas and lentils.It is the most popular meal it offers. There is little,it seems,that people won't do for their pets.Americans spent $186bn on them last year,according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis,covering everything from food and vet visits to toys and hair cleaning.That is more than they spent on childcare.Catering to pets has become big business.Mars,a company best known for its chocolate bars,made two thirds of its income last year from pet-care.Nestle and Colgate,two other consumer-product giants,also make around a fifth of their income from their pet divisions. Spending on pets surged in the early 2020s,as people who adopted animals spent generously on them.And animals were not easy to drop once people adopted them. Analysts think the pet business will soon experience a boost,rising to around 260bn by 2030.Behind that is a shift in the relationship between pets and humans.Owners increasingly see themselves as parents,not masters.They really see them as part of their families."Pets have gone from the backyard to the living room to the bedroom,"says Loic Moutault,head of the pet division at Mars. Dogs,cats and other animals lucky enough to be welcomed into such families are in for a treat.Younger owners might take their pets to the vet more often,to the animals' disappointment,but they make up for it by giving them more presents.The average cost of those gifts was $44. All this is attracting plenty of newcomers to the pet industry.Earlier this month, Gilles Andrier,the boss of Givaudan,a Swiss company that is the world's largest manufacturer of flavors and fragrances,said his firm is eyeing the pet-food market. "People spend more money on pets than kids nowadays,he explained.Best,then,to have a dog in the fight. 19.What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A.Pet products are in great demand.

B.People will do whatever for their pets. C.Products of pets are plentiful and fresh. D.The consumer-product industry is declining. 21.What drives the boost of pet industry according to Paragraph 3? A.The training of pets. B.The ownership of pets. C.The living space of pets. D.The family status of pets. 22.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The human-pet bond has shifted. B.Pet-keeping is making a comeback C.The spending on pets tops that on kids. D.People are spending more on their pets. Passage 7 In satellite images of the Earth from space,the United States seems to split in half: the eastern side is much brighter than the west.Across the Atlantic,Europe glints.The Nile Delta in Africa glows like a diamond.Farther east,Hong Kong and Shanghai are afire.Developed society,it's clear,is where the light is. A growing field of research suggests that night-time light itself is far more dangerous than the dark.Everything that lives on this planet evolved during billions of years along a reliable cycle of day and night.But artificial light breaks the cycle.This causes sleeplessness among astronauts who take pills but still get only six hours of shuteye.Shift workers,who rise with the night and work in blue light,experience not only disturbed circadian rhythms(昼夜节律)，but an increased likelihood of breast cancer. 二轮专题精准提升（十一）英语第5页（共8页）】 真题 When we,in the industrialized world,do manage to turn off the lights,there are measurable,beneficial effects.In a widely reported paper last summer,Kenneth Wright at the University of Colorado took eight students camping in the Rocky Mountains for two weeks.They weren't allowed to use any artificial light after sunset-only the glow of a campfire.After a week,melatonin (started to rise at sunset,peak at midnight, and decrease just at sunrise."Internal biological time under natural light-dark conditions tightly synchronizes with environmental time,he said. For those of us addicted to our glowing phones and tablets,an app called Flux can help.It "warms"your device's display screen so that it shifts red in the evening,more closely matching the color of the setting sun.Just a brief glimpse at your mobile phone at bedtime is enough to expose your eyes to artificial light,so fighting such a disturbance might be an exercise in vain.But even if we can't completely contain our thirst for light, we can all make one small gesture,which could stimulate us to unplug a little more. 23.What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A.Darkness poses health threats to shift workers. B.Sleeplessness is more likely to cause breast cancer. C.Humans can easily adapt to the changing surroundings. D.Astronauts take pills to minimize day-and-night cycle disturbance. 24.What does the underlined words "synchronize with"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Object to. B.Blend with. C.Correspond to. D.Interact with. 25.How does Flux help reduce the harmful effects of artificial light? A.By blocking artificial lights. B.By warming the screen temperature. C.By reducing screen brightness. D.By creating the natural change of light. 26.What is the purpose of the final sentence? A.To settle a debate. B.To suggest a solution. C.To promote a product. D.To contradict an assumption. Passage 8 A headless,four-legged robot will be employed to protect wildlife at a US airport. About the size of a large dog,it will be camouflaged as a wolf or fox to scare away migratory birds and other animals. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has named the new robot Aurora and said it will be based at the Fairbanks Airport-the state's second largest-to enhance safety and operations.The transportation department released a video of the robot climbing rocks,going up stairs and doing something similar to dancing while flashing green lights.Those dancing skills will be put to use during the migratory bird season when Aurora imitates predator-like movements to keep birds and other wildlife from settling near runways. The plan is to have Aurora watch over an outdoor area near the runway every hour in an attempt to prevent harmful encounters between planes and wildlife,said Ryan Marlow,a program manager with the transportation department.The test period in Fairbanks will also see how effective Aurora would be with larger animals and how bears would respond to the robot,Marlow added.Fairbanks "is leading the country with wildlife reduction at the airport through the use of Aurora.Several airports across the country have employed robots for various tasks such as cleaning,security patrols and customer service,"agency spokesperson Danielle Tessen said. Last year,there were 92 animal strikes near airports across Alaska,including 10 in Fairbanks,according to a Federal Aviation Administration database.Most strikes resulted in no damage to the aircraft,but Marlow said the encounters can be expensive and dangerous in the rare instance when a bird is sucked into an engine,potentially causing a crash. If the test proves successful,Marlow said the agency could send similar robots to smaller airports in Alaska,which could be more cost-effective than hiring human teams. Aurora,which can be controlled from a tablet,computer or on an automated schedule, will always have a human handler with it.It can move through rain or snow. 密卷 二轮专题精准提升（十一）英语第6页（共8页） 27.What does the underlined word "camouflaged"in Paragraph 1 mean?

The British philosopher built an entire philosophy around this idea-that we are all motivated by pleasure and pain.Lucky for him,then,that almost all of the social sciences today agree with him.More than that,many behavioral scientists believe we can game our own mechanisms of pleasure and pain and achieve anything.It's all to do with something called“Skinner'sLaw” Skinner's Law,named after American behaviorist B.F.Skinner,is that when you are procrastinating (or finding a task hard to get on with,you have two choices: either "make the pain of not doing it greater than the pain of doing it"or "make the pleasure of doing it greater than the pleasure of not doing it." The next question is:Is it better to promise yourself pleasure or to threaten yourself with pain to achieve your goal?It turns out that pain is by far the stronger motivator. Daniel Kahneman won the 2002 Nobel Prize for a theory called "Prospect Theory.He and Amos Tversky showed that we find pain more motivating than equivalent ( pleasure. Using all of this,here are two practical bits of advice: Make a bet:Find a friend or a family member,and bet them some sum of money or some item you value that you will do a certain thing."Okay,Dad,"you might say,"if I'm not 5 pounds lighter by my birthday,you can have my PlayStation 5." Social accountability:Tell everyone you're trying to do something.Tell them your target and your deadline.Keep people updated about your progress.This serves two purposes:to present the carrot and the stick.The carrot is that you get praise,support, and advice from your closest relatives.The stick is that you might be embarrassed or ashamed if you fail. 31.What are Bentham's words mainly about?

Until now,it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis,a process that requires sunlight.But the discovery casts doubt on that idea and raises new questions about the origins of life itself. The research team in Scotland believe oxygen is being produced by electrically charged material called polymetallic nodules(多金属结核)，which range in size from a small particle to about the dimensions of a potato. These nodules-"effectively batteries in a rock,Sweetman said-may use their electric charge to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called seawater electrolysis(电解). Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected samples to test aboveground,and they came up with the same result:that oxygen levels increased near the polymetallic nodules. Seawater can be split into hydrogen and oxygen with 1.5 volts (of electricity, which is the amount in an Aa battery.Researchers found that some of the nodules possessed as much as 0.95 volts of electricity,and multiple nodules together produced enough voltage. Polymetallic nodules contain metals such as manganese,nickel and cobalt,which can be used to make the lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics,appliances and electric vehicles. Franz Geiger,a Northwestern University chemistry professor,said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in an area of the Pacific Ocean called the Clarion- Clipperton Zone to meet global energy demands for decades.But mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not remove oxygen from life forms in that zone. "A few years ago,a team of marine biologists went back to those areas mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,"Geiger said."And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right,where the nodules were untouched,plenty of life. 35.Why is the discovery significant? A.It displays the origin of life itself. B.It shows the process of photosynthesis. C.It shakes the view on the source of oxygen. D.It casts doubt on the existence of "dark oxygen" 36.What enables seawater electrolysis in the deep sea? A.Photosynthesis. B.Polymetallic nodules. C.Sunlight reaching the seafloor. D.Chemical reactions in seawater. 37.Why are the nodules in spotlights? A.To describe the mechanism in splitting seawater. B.To demonstrate how powerful AA batteries are. C.To stress the practicality of electricity generation. D.To explain why more oxygen exists near the nodules. 38.What can we infer from Geiger's words? A.Mining nodules is beneficial for marine life. B.Marine biologists oppose mining in the ocean. C.The Clarion-Clipperton Zone has no life due to mining. D.Marine ecology must be respected while mining nodules. 密卷 二轮专题精准提升（十一）英语第8页（共8页）
