Tu Youyou
Tu Youyou is a great Chinese medical
scientist.
Determined to help those suffering
from malaria,Tu Youyou devoted most of
her time to finding the cure.Luckily,her
efforts paid off.In 2015,she was awarded
the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
for discovering artemisinin,which is the
key to the treatment of malaria.Behind
her success were numerous failures and
setbacks,but never did she give up.
So great is her contribution to the
world that she has become an idol of many
people,including me.Inspired by her sto-
ry,I decide to study harder so as to realize
my dream.

(2024·湖南高三月考)We are all aware of
the damaging pollution that's created by driving
petrol and diesel(柴油)vehicles.Many of the
world's cities are jammed with traffic,creating
poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxides.The
solution for a cleaner,greener future could be
electric vehicles.But how optimistic should
we be?
There was much excitement last year when
the UK government announced it will ban the
sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.
But is that easier said than done?The road to
global traffic being totally electric is still a long
way off.Currently,battery life is an issue-a
fully charged battery won't take you as far as a
full tank of petrol.Here are also limited num-
bers of charging points to plug an EV into.
Of course,technology is always impro-
ving.Some of the biggest tech companies,like
Google and Tesla,are spending huge amounts
of money developing electric cars.And most of
the big car manufacturers are now making them
too.Colin Herron,a consultant on low-carbon
vehicle technology,told the BBC:"The big leap
forward will come with solid-state batteries,which
will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before
they progress cars.These will charge more quickly,
and give cars a bigger range."
Cost is another issue that may deter people
switching to electric power.But some countries
offer encouraging measures,such as cutting
prices by reducing import taxes,and not char-
ging for road tax and parking.Some also pro-
vide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven
on,overtaking traditional cars which might be
stuck in jams.These kinds of measures have
made Norway the country with the most electric
cars per capita(人均)at more than thirty elec-
tric cars per 1,000 inhabitants.
But Colin Herron warns that "electric mo-
toring"doesn't mean a zero-carbon future.

One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my
upset feelings and it instantly responded,offer-
-----2 ing a list of practical advice.Nowadays millions
of people are already turning to ChatGPT and
specialist therapy (chatbots for conven-
ient and inexpensive mental health support.
------
4
Some experts say this is a boon.After all,
5 AI,undisturbed by embarrassment and burn-
out,might be able to express empathy(同理
)more openly and tirelessly than humans.
But others worry about the consequences of
people seeking emotional support from ma-
chines that can only pretend to care.Some even
wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI
might change the way we interact with one an-
other.Indeed,empathy is one of our species'
defining qualities,developing as it did in pace
with social interaction.
One recent analysis about empathy looked
at 52 studies published between 1980 and 2019,
which shows that the empathiser must first be
able to recognize how the other person is feel-
ing.They must also be affected by those emo-
tions and differentiate between themselves and
the other person,grasping that the other
person's feelings aren't their own while still be-
ing able to imagine their experience.
·3
On the first point,in recent years,AI-
powered chatbots have made progress in their a-
bility to read human emotions,most powered
by large language models (LLMs)that work by
predicting which words are most likely to ap-
pear together based on training data.In this
way,LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identi-
fy our feelings and respond appropriately most
of the time.But when it comes to the other cri-
teria,AI still misses the mark in many ways.
Empathy is interpersonal,with continued feed-
back helping to perfect the empathiser's re-
sponse,which also requires some degree of in-
tuitive(直觉的)awareness of an individual and
their situation.
All of this helps to explain conversations
like the ones I had with ChatGPT.At the end
of the day,despite talking to multiple chatbots
online,I did what I knew I had to do all along:
I picked up my phone and called a friend.
8.What does the underlined word“boon”in
Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Trap.
B.Prize.
C.Blessing.
D.Challenge.
9.What does the recent analysis show about
empathy?
A.It calls for clear communication.
B.It starts with emotion identification.
C.It rules out individual difference.
D.It depends on rich imagination.
10.What can AI do according to Paragraph 4?
A.Provide data-driven feedback.
B.Recognize one's real desire.
C.Update large language models.
D.Predict one's behavior by intuition.
11.What does the author think of ChatGPT?
A.Its development should be sped up.
B.Its intelligence is winning more favor.
C.Its application should be strictly man-
aged.
D.Its artificial kindness is no match for hu-
mans'.

(2024·广东潮州统考二模)In2006,docu
ments were published by the United States
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).They
suggested that cloned animals and cloned animal
products would be allowed into the American
food supply.
The FDA has stated that cloned animal
products are safe for consumption,and has per-
formed many studies to support this view.In
fact,products from cloned animals have already
been eaten by some Americans without ill effects.
The FDA analyzed the structure(and content
of cloned animal products and compared it with
2
that of traditionally reproduced animals,and
discovered no statistical difference between
the two.
Consumers raised serious concerns about
cloned animals.The first is the question of
whether or not cloned tissue and animal prod-
ucts are truly safe.The second is that many
clones are also genetically modified(转基因的)
animals,which the FDA has said are unsafe for
human consumption.The third is that consum-
ers want to be able to choose what they put into
their bodies.
The first concern about cloned animals is
almost unnecessary due to the price of produ-
cing a clone.Making a clone needs hard work and
is very costly.These clones live spoiled lives be-
cause they are very valuable,despite biologists
warning that cloned animals decrease diversity.
The second concern,about genetic modifi-
cation of cloned animals,is more problematic.
It may be very difficult to separate genetically
modified animals from normal ones.The pur-
pose of genetically modified cloned animals is
unclear,and the FDA hasn't allowed their
products onto the market,due to health con-
cerns,but the risk of genetic pollution of
healthy animals still exists.
Finally,the matter of choice is a large one.
Many animal rights activists are worried about
clone rights because cloned or not,the animals
still have lives.Other consumers are simply
trying to eat healthy foods,and have doubts a-
bout the cloned animals.If the FDA does not
make labeling(贴标签)laws,people may not be
able to make informed choices about their food.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Most Americans eat ultraprocessed(深加
工的)foods every day.These are foods that
you cannot make at home because they contain
flavors and chemicals that change the taste or
feel of the food.They are usually high in salt,sug-
ar and fat.
1 Being overweight is one such result
and that may lead to diabetes and heart disease.
Other possible health risks include depression
and dementia.One recent study suggested that
eating these foods may raise the risk of early
death.
Food manufacturers argue that processing
increases food safety and food supplies.2
But many studies suggest that diets high in ul-
traprocessed foods are tied to poor health re-
sults.For example,in one study,people eating
ultraprocessed food gained an average of about 1
kilogram during the study period.3
Dr.Neena,director of a food policy pro-
gram,said such foods are often made to be both
low-cost and very tasty."You just can't stop
eating them,"she said.4 They can make
regulations and rules to limit salt in these foods
and control how advertisers sell the foods to
children.
Neena suggests buyers should check infor-
mation printed on food containers and make
choices based on the current state guidelines.
5 Meanwhile,fruits and vegetables which
are least processed do us good,though they
may not taste delicious.
A.It also provides a diverse and nutritious diet
easily.
B.For example,food with added sugar isn't
great for us.
C.Eating such foods may lead directly to poor
health results.
D.A small study was carried out at a health
center for a month.
E.Leaders should make full use of their power
to change policies.
F.Whole-grain bread and yogurt are highly pro-
cessed,but nutritious.
G.People eating only unprocessed foods during
the time lost about 1 kilogram.
