When Marco settled into his seat on the train to Xi’an, he pulled out the Chinese phrasebook he had been studying for months. The 22-year-old Italian had dreamed of visiting China since childhood. Now, with a degree in art history, he was finally following in Marco Polo’s footsteps.
His first week in Xi’an was overwhelming. The Terracotta Warriors left him breathless, but the city’s Muslim Quarter, with its food stalls and the scent of cumin, felt like home. Watching a noodle-puller skillfully stretch dough into thin strands, Marco found himself enthralled. The old man, grinning warmly, handed him a bowl. “Mian tiao hao chi,” Marco said, uttering his first complete sentence in Chinese. When the old man laughed and patted his shoulder, Marco felt he had found something that he hadn’t known he was looking for.
Three months later, Marco was teaching Italian at a local university. Yet his real education took place after dark, when he sat with the noodle-puller, Uncle Chen. Though Uncle Chen spoke no Italian and Marco’s Chinese remained far from fluent, they communicated through gestures, laughter, and food. Uncle Chen taught Marco to pull noodles, while Marco taught Uncle Chen to make coffee.
One evening, Uncle Chen noticed Marco’s untouched bowl. Marco’s contract was ending, and his parents were pressuring him to return. “Maybe it’s time to go home,” he said. Uncle Chen stood up, returned with dough, and began to pull — slower than usual. He placed the noodles in Marco’s hands. “This street has my noodles for thirty years. Now it has your coffee,” he said. “You think Marco Polo ever got home? He did. But he came back.”
Marco stayed. He opened a small café next to Uncle Chen’s shop. On the wall hangs a photograph of the two of them, flour and coffee stains on their aprons, arms around each other. Beneath it, in Italian and Chinese: Some journeys don’t end. They just find a new path.
4. Why did Marco go to Xi’an?
A. To learn Chinese. B. To fulfill his dream.
C. To teach Italian. D. To open a coffee shop.
5. What does the underlined word “enthralled” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Amused. B. Confused. C. Fascinated. D. Disappointed.
6. What did Uncle Chen imply by saying “He did. But he came back?”
A. Marco should return to Italy.
B. Marco should obey his parents.
C. Marco could find a new home here.
D. Marco could renew his contract.
7. What does Marco’s experience in Xi’an mainly show?
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. East or west, home is best.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述意大利青年马可圆梦来到西安,与拉面大叔结缘相知,在归乡压力下选择留下开店,诠释了心安之处便是归宿的温暖主题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The 22-year-old Italian had dreamed of visiting China since childhood. Now, with a degree in art history, he was finally following in Marco Polo’s footsteps.(这位22岁的意大利人从小就梦想来到中国。如今拿到艺术史学位,他终于踏上了追随马可・波罗足迹的旅程。)”可知,马可去往西安是为了实现儿时的梦想。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Watching a noodle-puller skillfully stretch dough into thin strands, Marco found himself enthralled.(看着拉面师傅熟练地把面团拉成细条,马可感觉自己enthralled。)”以及后文“The old man, grinning warmly, handed him a bowl. “Mian tiao hao chi,” Marco said, uttering his first complete sentence in Chinese. (老人笑容和蔼,递给他一碗食物。“面条好吃。”马可说道,这是他说出的第一句完整的中文。)”可知,这里指马可被面条的做法吸引了,所以猜测enthralled意为“着迷的、被吸引的”,与Fascinated同义。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“You think Marco Polo ever got home? He did. But he came back.(你觉得马可・波罗回过家吗?他回去过,但他又回来了。)”可知,陈大叔意在暗示马可可以像马可・波罗一样,在这里扎根,把西安当成新的归宿。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Marco stayed. He opened a small café next to Uncle Chen’s shop.(马可留了下来。他在陈叔叔的店铺旁开了一家小咖啡馆。)”和“Beneath it, in Italian and Chinese: Some journeys don’t end. They just find a new path.(在它下方,用意大利语和中文写着:有些旅程不会落幕,只是换了一条新的前路。)”可知,马可为情谊留在西安、把此地当成新家,所以故事主要诠释了心安之处即是家的内涵。
C
Most people can see at least a million different colors. Colors often act as signs, communicating means even when we don’t notice them.
As living creatures developed vision and became able to distinguish colors, fruits began using bright colors to attract animals to spread their seeds. Flowers developed bright colors to attract pollinators, while poisonous animals used bold shades as warnings. In each case, color serves a specific evolutionary purpose — either to draw in or to drive away.
Humans have also evolved to use these signs. Color tells us when fruits are ripe enough to eat. We’ve also developed our own color signals: red traffic lights warn of danger, and electrical wires use different colors to indicate safe connections. These human-made signals borrow from nature’s principle — color conveys meaning quickly and efficiently, often beyond language.
Colors can also serve as signifiers (信号物) in more complex ways. Food products are sometimes labeled with red, yellow or green based on nutritional content, borrowing from traffic signals. Consumer brands use colors in their logos and advertising to communicate their values. Luxury goods often use dark, intense colors as a mark of quality, while children’s products use bold, bright colors. The psychology of color has become a complicated field of study, with companies investing heavily in determining which shades will trigger the desired emotional responses from consumers. Studies show people are less likely to buy products branded with inappropriate colors. A luxury watch brand using neon pink would confuse its audience and overlook its elegant image. This suggests that the meanings of color, while powerful, are culturally constructed and context-dependent.
Whether human-made or natural, and whether we consciously notice them or not, colors tell us a lot about the world around us. They are, in many ways, a universal language — one that has been shaped by millions of years of evolution and thousands of years of human culture.
8. What is the main function of color according to paragraph 2?
A. To make nature diverse. B. To set creatures apart.
C. To show a sign of harvest. D. To be a means of survival.
9. How does the author develop paragraph 3?
A. By listing reasons. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a contrast. D. By presenting a phenomenon.
10. What can be inferred about the use of color in marketing?
A. Colors carry their unique meanings. B. Bright colors generally beat dark ones.
C. Consumers prefer status-matching colors. D. Companies fully grasp the influence of colors.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. What Colors Mean: From Warnings to Attractions
B. How Colors Change: From Nature to Human Society
C. Why Colors Matter: From Evolution to Cultural Meaning
D. Where Colors Exist: From Biology to Commercial Designs
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了颜色源于生物进化,用于吸引或警示以维系生存;人类借鉴自然赋予颜色信号意义,商业配色需契合文化与场景,是跨越进化与文化的通用语言。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In each case, color serves a specific evolutionary purpose — either to draw in or to drive away.(在每种情况下,颜色都具有特定的进化功能——要么用于吸引,要么用于驱赶)”可知,颜色的主要作用是作为生存的手段。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Humans have also evolved to use these signs. Color tells us when fruits are ripe enough to eat. We’ve also developed our own color signals: red traffic lights warn of danger, and electrical wires use different colors to indicate safe connections. These human-made signals borrow from nature’s principle — color conveys meaning quickly and efficiently, often beyond language.(人类也进化出了利用这些颜色信号的能力。颜色能告诉我们果实是否成熟可以食用。我们还发展出了自己的颜色信号:红色的交通信号灯警示危险,电线则通过不同的颜色来表示安全连接状态。这些人为制造的信号借鉴了自然界的原则——颜色能够迅速且高效地传达信息,其效果往往超越语言所能达到的程度)”可知,作者通过举例的方式展开第三段内容。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Consumer brands use colors in their logos and advertising to communicate their values. Luxury goods often use dark, intense colors as a mark of quality, while children’s products use bold, bright colors. The psychology of color has become a complicated field of study, with companies investing heavily in determining which shades will trigger the desired emotional responses from consumers. Studies show people are less likely to buy products branded with inappropriate colors. A luxury watch brand using neon pink would confuse its audience and overlook its elegant image. This suggests that the meanings of color, while powerful, are culturally constructed and context-dependent.(消费品牌在其标志和广告中会运用色彩来传达其价值观。奢侈品通常会采用深沉、浓烈的色彩作为品质的象征,而儿童产品则会使用鲜明、亮丽的色彩。色彩心理学已成为一个复杂的研究领域,企业纷纷投入大量资金来确定哪些色调能引发消费者期望的情感反应。研究表明,使用不恰当颜色标识的产品不太可能被消费者购买。使用霓虹粉色的奢侈手表品牌会令其受众感到困惑,并忽视其优雅的形象。这表明色彩的含义虽然强大,但却是由文化所构建的,并且取决于具体情境)”可知,消费者偏好和品牌定位匹配的颜色。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most people can see at least a million different colors. Colors often act as signs, communicating means even when we don’t notice them.(大多数人都能分辨出至少一百万种不同的颜色。颜色常常起到信号的作用,即便我们没有察觉,也能传递信息)”结合文章主要说明了颜色源于生物进化,用于吸引或警示以维系生存;人类借鉴自然赋予颜色信号意义,商业配色需契合文化与场景,是跨越进化与文化的通用语言。可知,C选项“色彩为何重要:从进化到文化意义”最符合文章标题。
D
Recently, a mock job advertisement is released online, seeking a “killswitch engineer” for OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. The description requires the successful applicant to stand by servers all day and unplug them “if this thing turns on us.” Useful skills include the ability to “throw a bucket of water on the servers, too. Just in case.”
Despite widespread fears of job losses owing to the rise of artificial-intelligence (AI) agents, it is not entirely pessimistic. Actually, the technology is creating new roles — to train AI agents, integrate them into organizations, and ensure that they behave appropriately. Many of these new positions, moreover, require unique human skills.
Consider data annotators (标注者). No longer are they merely low-paid gig (字节) workers tagging images. As AI models advance, experts in finance, law, and medicine are increasingly employed to help train them. Mercor, a startup that hires specialists to help build AI systems, was recently valued at $10 billion. Its chief executive reports that these experts earn $90 per hour on average, which is much higher than before.
The nature of software engineering itself is changing. Palsule, chief executive of a skills-development company, uses Waymo, a robotaxi company, as an example of how the job of a developer is evolving. Waymo’s cars drive themselves from start to finish, but what happens when they break down, locking passengers inside? This requires what he calls “the person in the sky” — a remote human fixer who must understand both the technology and how to handle anxious passengers. Software engineers were once valued for coding abilities alone, Palsule explains, but writing code can now be done by algorithms (算法).
Additionally, organizations need specialists to establish rules ensuring AI systems don’t cause problems. The AI Workforce Consortium, a research group led by Cisco, recently examined IT jobs across wealthy countries. The fastest-growing position, even surpassing AI programmers, was AI risk-and-governance specialists, who ensure that AI systems don’t leak data or cause operational failures.
12. What is the “killswitch engineer” in paragraph 1?
A. A person monitoring servers for safety.
B. An engineer who repairs broken servers.
C. A robot that assists in operating servers.
D. An expert training robots to avoid danger.
13. What can we learn about data annotators?
A. They are hired for advancing AI.
B. They are the most in-demand online.
C. They are employed to train AI experts.
D. They are responsible for image-tagging.
14. Which opinion is Palsule most likely to agree with?
A. Self-driving cars create new challenges for drivers.
B. Software engineers with human skills are preferred.
C. Software engineering now focuses more on maintenance.
D. Coding skills are less important than communication skills.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To compare job roles.
B. To prove AI’s development.
C. To introduce AI-created jobs.
D. To show AI’s threat to humans.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍尽管人们普遍担忧人工智能会导致失业,但实际上它正在创造新的工作岗位。文章以“关停开关工程师”为例引出话题,接着阐述了数据标注者、软件工程领域以及确保人工智能系统正常运行的专家等因人工智能发展而产生的新工作岗位及其特点,表明人工智能在带来挑战的同时也创造了新的就业机会。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The description requires the successful applicant to stand by servers all day and unplug them “if this thing turns on us.” Useful skills include the ability to “throw a bucket of water on the servers, too. Just in case.”(该职位描述要求成功应聘者整天守在服务器旁,“如果(人工智能)对我们不利”就拔掉服务器插头。有用的技能还包括“也能往服务器上泼一桶水,以防万一”)”可知,“关停开关工程师”是一个为了安全而监控服务器的人。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As AI models advance, experts in finance, law, and medicine are increasingly employed to help train them.(随着人工智能模型的发展,金融、法律和医学领域的专家越来越多地被雇佣来帮助训练它们)”可知,数据标注者被雇佣是为了推进人工智能发展。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Palsule, chief executive of a skills-development company, uses Waymo, a robotaxi company, as an example of how the job of a developer is evolving. Waymo’s cars drive themselves from start to finish, but what happens when they break down, locking passengers inside? This requires what he calls “the person in the sky” — a remote human fixer who must understand both the technology and how to handle anxious passengers. Software engineers were once valued for coding abilities alone, Palsule explains, but writing code can now be done by algorithms (算法).(技能开发公司的首席执行官帕尔苏莱以自动驾驶出租车公司Waymo为例,说明开发者的工作是如何演变的。Waymo的汽车可以全程自动驾驶,但当汽车发生故障,将乘客困在车内时会怎样呢?这就需要他所说的“空中人员”——一个远程人工修理员,既必须了解技术,又要知道如何安抚焦虑的乘客。帕尔苏莱解释说,软件工程师曾经仅因编码能力而受到重视,但现在编写代码可以由算法来完成)”可知,随着技术发展,单纯的编码工作可由算法完成,而处理如自动驾驶汽车故障时安抚乘客这类需要人际交往技能的工作变得重要。所以帕尔苏莱最可能认同具备人际交往技能的软件工程师更受青睐。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently, a mock job advertisement is released online, seeking a “killswitch engineer” for OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. The description requires the successful applicant to stand by servers all day and unplug them “if this thing turns on us.” Useful skills include the ability to “throw a bucket of water on the servers, too. Just in case.”(近日,网上流传一则恶搞招聘广告,为ChatGPT的开发公司OpenAI招聘一名紧急关停工程师。 招聘描述要求录用者全天守在服务器旁,一旦AI反噬人类,就立刻拔掉服务器电源。 必备技能还包括“必要时能直接往服务器上泼一桶水”,以防万一)”可知,文章开篇以“关停开关工程师”引出,后文介绍了数据标注者、软件工程师新角色以及确保人工智能系统正常运行的专家等因人工智能产生的新工作岗位,所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍人工智能创造的工作。

【答案】Dear Principal,
I hope this letter finds you well. Learning that our school will arrange a labour base beside the school library, I am excited to share my plan.
I suggest dividing the base into seasonal zones, with classes taking weekly turns to grow vegetables and care for the plants. Meanwhile, teachers can provide hands-on guidance, linking biology to practice. There are two main reasons behind this plan. Firstly, it fosters a strong sense of responsibility and teamwork. More importantly, it bridges classroom learning with real-world application, deepening students’ understanding of agricultural science and environmental sustainability.
I sincerely hope my ideas can be of some help. I am looking forward to seeing our labour base come to life.
Yours,

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。
It was an exciting trekking through the jungles. Our team of four, all hiking enthusiasts, set off early in the morning, aiming to conquer the peak at over 1,500 meters above sea level. The air was fresh, and the dense trees formed a green cover above us. After two hours of hiking, we reached an altitude of 1,000 meters. The path grew steeper and wilder, with thick undergrowth covering hidden dangers. Just then, we encountered a forest ranger (护林员) who reminded us to watch our steps carefully. Eager to press on, I led the way, ignoring the faint sense of unease that had settled over the group as the trail seemed to disappear into the vines and roots.
Suddenly, as I stepped over a fallen log, a sharp pain shot through my right ankle, which was caught in a hidden wire animal trap, likely left by illegal hunters years ago. The more I struggled, the tighter the thin wire bit into my flesh. Panic spread through the group. My friends tried to get it open with a multitool, but the wire was stubbornly strong. Lisa’s hands were shaking badly, so she had to lay her tool down. Mark, usually our calm leader, kept muttering, “Let me think.” but his face turned pale.
Twenty minutes passed. My foot grew numb and swollen from the cut-off circulation, turning a frightening purple color. Each failed attempt and every minute that ticked by deepened our sense of helplessness. Desperation hung heavy in the air. We were miles from any signal, and no one knew what to do. The once-inviting forest now felt like a silent prison.
Just as hope began to fade, a new sound cut through our despair — the distinct and cautious sound of footsteps approaching from behind the dense bushes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
The forest ranger came out of the bushes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The wire animal trap was finally removed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Paragraph 1:
The forest ranger came out of the bushes. He quickly assessed the situation. Without a word, he knelt beside me, inspected the wire trap with a practiced eye, and gently felt my swollen ankle. “Don’t move,” he said softly, his voice steady and reassuring. From his pack, he pulled out a pair of heavy-duty wire cutters and a small first-aid kit. He explained that the trap was designed to tighten with movement, and careful precision was needed to avoid causing further injury. As he positioned the cutters, we all held our breath, the only sound being the rhythmic click of the tool against the stubborn wire.
Paragraph 2:
The wire animal trap was finally removed. Relieved and thankful, I stared at my bruised ankle. The ranger swiftly cleaned and bandaged the wound, warning me not to put weight on it. He then helped me to my feet, supporting me as we began the slow descent. Along the way, he emphasized the importance of staying on marked trails and carrying proper safety gear. His kindness and expertise turned a near-disaster into a profound lesson. As we reached the forest entrance at dusk, I not only felt gratitude for the rescue, but also a renewed respect for nature and its unseen guardians.

When Marco settled into his seat on the train to Xi’an, he pulled out the Chinese phrasebook he had been studying for months. The 22-year-old Italian had dreamed of visiting China since childhood. Now, with a degree in art history, he was finally following in Marco Polo’s footsteps.
His first week in Xi’an was overwhelming. The Terracotta Warriors left him breathless, but the city’s Muslim Quarter, with its food stalls and the scent of cumin, felt like home. Watching a noodle-puller skillfully stretch dough into thin strands, Marco found himself enthralled. The old man, grinning warmly, handed him a bowl. “Mian tiao hao chi,” Marco said, uttering his first complete sentence in Chinese. When the old man laughed and patted his shoulder, Marco felt he had found something that he hadn’t known he was looking for.
Three months later, Marco was teaching Italian at a local university. Yet his real education took place after dark, when he sat with the noodle-puller, Uncle Chen. Though Uncle Chen spoke no Italian and Marco’s Chinese remained far from fluent, they communicated through gestures, laughter, and food. Uncle Chen taught Marco to pull noodles, while Marco taught Uncle Chen to make coffee.
One evening, Uncle Chen noticed Marco’s untouched bowl. Marco’s contract was ending, and his parents were pressuring him to return. “Maybe it’s time to go home,” he said. Uncle Chen stood up, returned with dough, and began to pull — slower than usual. He placed the noodles in Marco’s hands. “This street has my noodles for thirty years. Now it has your coffee,” he said. “You think Marco Polo ever got home? He did. But he came back.”
Marco stayed. He opened a small café next to Uncle Chen’s shop. On the wall hangs a photograph of the two of them, flour and coffee stains on their aprons, arms around each other. Beneath it, in Italian and Chinese: Some journeys don’t end. They just find a new path.
4. Why did Marco go to Xi’an?
A. To learn Chinese. B. To fulfill his dream.
C. To teach Italian. D. To open a coffee shop.
5. What does the underlined word “enthralled” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Amused. B. Confused. C. Fascinated. D. Disappointed.
6. What did Uncle Chen imply by saying “He did. But he came back?”
A. Marco should return to Italy.
B. Marco should obey his parents.
C. Marco could find a new home here.
D. Marco could renew his contract.
7. What does Marco’s experience in Xi’an mainly show?
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. East or west, home is best.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Most people can see at least a million different colors. Colors often act as signs, communicating means even when we don’t notice them.
As living creatures developed vision and became able to distinguish colors, fruits began using bright colors to attract animals to spread their seeds. Flowers developed bright colors to attract pollinators, while poisonous animals used bold shades as warnings. In each case, color serves a specific evolutionary purpose — either to draw in or to drive away.
Humans have also evolved to use these signs. Color tells us when fruits are ripe enough to eat. We’ve also developed our own color signals: red traffic lights warn of danger, and electrical wires use different colors to indicate safe connections. These human-made signals borrow from nature’s principle — color conveys meaning quickly and efficiently, often beyond language.
Colors can also serve as signifiers (信号物) in more complex ways. Food products are sometimes labeled with red, yellow or green based on nutritional content, borrowing from traffic signals. Consumer brands use colors in their logos and advertising to communicate their values. Luxury goods often use dark, intense colors as a mark of quality, while children’s products use bold, bright colors. The psychology of color has become a complicated field of study, with companies investing heavily in determining which shades will trigger the desired emotional responses from consumers. Studies show people are less likely to buy products branded with inappropriate colors. A luxury watch brand using neon pink would confuse its audience and overlook its elegant image. This suggests that the meanings of color, while powerful, are culturally constructed and context-dependent.
Whether human-made or natural, and whether we consciously notice them or not, colors tell us a lot about the world around us. They are, in many ways, a universal language — one that has been shaped by millions of years of evolution and thousands of years of human culture.
8. What is the main function of color according to paragraph 2?
A. To make nature diverse. B. To set creatures apart.
C. To show a sign of harvest. D. To be a means of survival.
9. How does the author develop paragraph 3?
A. By listing reasons. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a contrast. D. By presenting a phenomenon.
10. What can be inferred about the use of color in marketing?
A. Colors carry their unique meanings. B. Bright colors generally beat dark ones.
C. Consumers prefer status-matching colors. D. Companies fully grasp the influence of colors.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. What Colors Mean: From Warnings to Attractions
B. How Colors Change: From Nature to Human Society
C. Why Colors Matter: From Evolution to Cultural Meaning
D. Where Colors Exist: From Biology to Commercial Designs

Recently, a mock job advertisement is released online, seeking a “killswitch engineer” for OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. The description requires the successful applicant to stand by servers all day and unplug them “if this thing turns on us.” Useful skills include the ability to “throw a bucket of water on the servers, too. Just in case.”
Despite widespread fears of job losses owing to the rise of artificial-intelligence (AI) agents, it is not entirely pessimistic. Actually, the technology is creating new roles — to train AI agents, integrate them into organizations, and ensure that they behave appropriately. Many of these new positions, moreover, require unique human skills.
Consider data annotators (标注者). No longer are they merely low-paid gig (字节) workers tagging images. As AI models advance, experts in finance, law, and medicine are increasingly employed to help train them. Mercor, a startup that hires specialists to help build AI systems, was recently valued at $10 billion. Its chief executive reports that these experts earn $90 per hour on average, which is much higher than before.
The nature of software engineering itself is changing. Palsule, chief executive of a skills-development company, uses Waymo, a robotaxi company, as an example of how the job of a developer is evolving. Waymo’s cars drive themselves from start to finish, but what happens when they break down, locking passengers inside? This requires what he calls “the person in the sky” — a remote human fixer who must understand both the technology and how to handle anxious passengers. Software engineers were once valued for coding abilities alone, Palsule explains, but writing code can now be done by algorithms (算法).
Additionally, organizations need specialists to establish rules ensuring AI systems don’t cause problems. The AI Workforce Consortium, a research group led by Cisco, recently examined IT jobs across wealthy countries. The fastest-growing position, even surpassing AI programmers, was AI risk-and-governance specialists, who ensure that AI systems don’t leak data or cause operational failures.
12. What is the “killswitch engineer” in paragraph 1?
A. A person monitoring servers for safety.
B. An engineer who repairs broken servers.

13. What can we learn about data annotators?
A. They are hired for advancing AI.
B. They are the most in-demand online.
C. They are employed to train AI experts.
D. They are responsible for image-tagging.
14. Which opinion is Palsule most likely to agree with?
A. Self-driving cars create new challenges for drivers.
B. Software engineers with human skills are preferred.
C. Software engineering now focuses more on maintenance.
D. Coding skills are less important than communication skills.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To compare job roles.
B. To prove AI’s development.

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。
It was an exciting trekking through the jungles. Our team of four, all hiking enthusiasts, set off early in the morning, aiming to conquer the peak at over 1,500 meters above sea level. The air was fresh, and the dense trees formed a green cover above us. After two hours of hiking, we reached an altitude of 1,000 meters. The path grew steeper and wilder, with thick undergrowth covering hidden dangers. Just then, we encountered a forest ranger (护林员) who reminded us to watch our steps carefully. Eager to press on, I led the way, ignoring the faint sense of unease that had settled over the group as the trail seemed to disappear into the vines and roots.
Suddenly, as I stepped over a fallen log, a sharp pain shot through my right ankle, which was caught in a hidden wire animal trap, likely left by illegal hunters years ago. The more I struggled, the tighter the thin wire bit into my flesh. Panic spread through the group. My friends tried to get it open with a multitool, but the wire was stubbornly strong. Lisa’s hands were shaking badly, so she had to lay her tool down. Mark, usually our calm leader, kept muttering, “Let me think.” but his face turned pale.
Twenty minutes passed. My foot grew numb and swollen from the cut-off circulation, turning a frightening purple color. Each failed attempt and every minute that ticked by deepened our sense of helplessness. Desperation hung heavy in the air. We were miles from any signal, and no one knew what to do. The once-inviting forest now felt like a silent prison.
Just as hope began to fade, a new sound cut through our despair — the distinct and cautious sound of footsteps approaching from behind the dense bushes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
The forest ranger came out of the bushes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The wire animal trap was finally removed.
