Duties include:中的“• Presenting river safety talks and providing area information to river users(开展河流安全知识宣讲，并向河流使用者提供区域信息。)”可知，向河流使用者宣传河流安全知识是实习志愿者的职责。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Interns must know how to swim to be considered for this position.(要获得这个职位的资格，实习生必须会游泳。)”可知，申请该职位需要会游泳。故选C。 B Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea. Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”. Maya decided to use the handy materials to create her own “Fog Harp”. At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind. Little did they know this simple-looking setup would soon prove surprisingly effective. The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. In a traditional mesh net, tiny water drops get easily trapped within the small square gaps, which stop further collection. This occurs because the surface tension — the invisible, stretchy “skin” of liquid water — is too strong for the small drops to overcome. In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below. Of course, the project faced its share of setbacks. During one severe coastal storm, the extreme wind tore through the wooden frame. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, she immediately set out to fix the problem by reinforcing the entire structure with durable steel wires. By the time autumn arrived, Maya’s “Fog Harps” were reliably producing plenty of fresh water every day, partly meeting the daily water needs of the village. 4. Why did Maya observe the thick mist in her afternoons? A. To predict the weather conditions. B. To clarify the reasons for drought. C. To check the efficiency of the mesh nets. D. To work out a solution to water shortage. 5. What can we know about Maya’s “Fog Harp”? A. It was a musical instrument. B. It invited villagers’ acid words. C. It presented an inborn fault. D. It featured a solid metal frame. 6. What is the key for Maya’s Fog Harp to function well? A. Its upright-wire design. B. Its mesh-net structure. C. Its weak surface tension. D. Its resistance to gravity. 7. What can we learn from Maya’s story? A. Look before you leap. B. Better late than never. C. Think outside the box. D. Time waits for no man. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了北加利福尼亚一个沿海村庄的高中生玛雅·马丁内斯面对村庄干旱问题，通过观察海雾，发明了“雾竖琴”来收集淡水，解决了村庄部分用水需求的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea.(玛雅·马丁内斯是北加利福尼亚一个被雾笼罩的沿海村庄的一名高中生，她注意到在有记录以来最干旱的夏天，社区花园正在逐渐干涸。当村民们束手无策时，玛雅选择花下午的时间仔细观察从海上滚滚而来的浓雾)”可知，玛雅观察浓雾是为了找出解决缺水问题的方法。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind.(起初，当她在一块结实的木架上挂上数百根细长的竖线时，邻居们怀疑地看着这个过程。对他们来说，这个装置看起来不过是一把“巨大的乐器”，在寒冷的海风中只能发出无用的声音)”可知，邻居们对玛雅的“雾竖琴”持怀疑态度，甚至用酸言酸语来形容它。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below.(相比之下，在玛雅的雾竖琴中，水滴撞击电线，慢慢合并成更大的水滴。最重要的是，由于没有交叉的电线来固定这些较大的水滴，重力很容易克服表面张力，使水毫不费力地沿着电线滑下，并收集在下面的水箱中)”可知，玛雅的雾竖琴的关键在于其直立电线的设计，使得水滴能够顺利滑下并被收集。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”.(玛雅已经发现了传统雾收集网的一个关键缺陷：它们经常被捕获的水滴堵塞，这严重降低了它们的有效性。深入挖掘解决方案后，玛雅发现了两位科学家设计的一种新型装置——“雾竖琴”)”可知，玛雅没有受传统方法的限制，而是通过观察和思考，发明了新的雾收集装置，这体现了“跳出常规思维”的精神。故选C项。 C As a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative of renewable energy, wind power is witnessing a striking upward trend across the United States. In 2020, turbines (风力涡轮) generated about 8 percent of the country’s electricity — more than 80 times the share of wind-generated electricity in 2000 — according to the U.S. Energy Information Department. While the growth is a positive step toward curbing climate change, researchers have pointed out that this booming industry may pose severe threats to birds. An estimated 140,000 to 500,000 birds die each year due to turbine crashes. Bird deaths could rise to 1.4 million per year if the U.S. Department of Energy achieves its goal of expanding wind energy to 20 percent of the country’s total electricity generation by 2030. To prevent avoidable deaths, some scientists are supporting the use of citizen science data when deciding where to construct wind farms. Unlike conventional survey statistics, which cover limited time periods or geographical zones, the citizen science data stretch over the entire United States and reflect the entire year. The wind energy industry could use such information to get a more all-round picture and minimize harm to birds. Citizen science has already proven its value in bridging critical informational shortages in ecological research. From 2007 to 2018, more than 180,000 birders uploaded observations about bald eagles to the eBird database. Using that treasure house of data, conservation scientist Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez, of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and her work fellows estimated where in the United States the birds would be most plentiful throughout the year and face the highest risk of colliding with wind turbines. “Citizen science data should inform decisions about where to build wind turbines,” Viviana argues. “What we’re able to do is really drawing on the strength that only citizen science has.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recommended using the team’s bald eagle maps to identify low-risk crash areas suitable for building wind turbines. 8. What does the underlined word “curbing” in paragraph 1 mean? A. monitoring B. addressing C. documenting D. strengthening 9. What makes citizen science data more advantageous than traditional survey data? A. They cover a wider range. B. They have fewer usage limits. C. They are more accessible. D. They cost less to collect. 10. Why does the author use eBird data in Paragraph 4? A. To define a key term. B. To present a practical solution. C. To support the argument with an example. D. To draw a final conclusion. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Wind Energy Grows Fast in the United States B. Citizen Science Helps Protect Birds from Turbines C. Wind Turbines Bring Threats to Wild Birds D. New Ways to Choose Locations for Wind Farms 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是美国风力发电行业的快速发展对鸟类造成的威胁，以及科学家建议利用公民科学数据来选址建设风电场，从而减少对鸟类的伤害。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“While the growth is a positive step toward curbing climate change, researchers have pointed out that this booming industry may pose severe threats to birds. (虽然这一增长是curbing气候变化的一个积极步骤，但研究人员指出，这个蓬勃发展的行业可能会对鸟类造成严重威胁。)”可知，风力发电作为可再生能源的发展，其目的是应对气候变化，因此curbing意为“遏制；控制”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike conventional survey statistics, which cover limited time periods or geographical zones, the citizen science data stretch over the entire United States and reflect the entire year. (与传统的调查统计数据不同，后者只涵盖有限的时间段或地理区域，而公民科学数据覆盖整个美国并反映全年情况。)”可知，公民科学数据的优势在于覆盖范围更广。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Citizen science has already proven its value in bridging critical informational shortages in ecological research. From 2007 to 2018, more than 180,000 birders uploaded observations about bald eagles to the eBird database. (公民科学已经证明了其在弥补生态研究中关键信息短缺方面的价值。从2007年到2018年，超过18万名观鸟者将关于白头海雕的观察结果上传到eBird数据库。)”可知，作者使用eBird数据是为了举例支持公民科学价值的论点。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To prevent avoidable deaths, some scientists are supporting the use of citizen science data when deciding where to construct wind farms. (为了防止可避免的死亡，一些科学家支持在决定风电场建设地点时使用公民科学数据。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是公民科学如何帮助保护鸟类免受风力涡轮机的伤害。 D Inspiration for Zeynep Demirbas’ research struck during a chat with a friend. That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家). That worried Zeynep, 14. She knew that ChatGPT often gave wrong answers or agreed with incorrect statements. Could this type of AI, known as a large language model — or LLM — really be trusted with our mental health? To find out, she tested whether several LLMs could detect stress in human text. She gave the models a dataset of more than 3,500 posts. Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress. To judge how well the models did, Zeynep calculated something called an F1-score for each one. This score considers how many stress-containing posts the models accurately spotted. It also accounts for how often the models missed cases of stress and how often they mislabeled posts as showing stress. An LLM specifically designed for mental health did the best. It scored about 82 percent. ChatGPT scored only about 74 percent. ChatGPT performing badly was “really surprising”, Zeynep says. It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.” “We should be mindful with AI,” Zeynep says. “That doesn’t mean that LLMs are bad, because they’re for general use. They’re not necessarily meant for mental health.” Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional. 12. What worried Zeynep when chatting with a friend? A. AI is applied to mental health. B. Human therapists charge high fees. C. AI is developing at an alarming rate. D. Health insurance companies face challenges. 13. Why were the human raters asked to label the posts? A. To assess the reliability of the posts. B. To figure out the F1-scores of different LLMs. C. To provide a reference standard for LLM testing. D. To assess human raters’ accuracy in detecting stress. 14. Why does Zeynep mention the random-forest model? A. To erase doubts about old models. B. To compare simple and complex models. C. To illustrate the urgent need for more parameters. D. To show the poor performance of LLMs in the test. 15. What does Zeynep mean in the last paragraph? A. LLMs are generally useless in most fields. B. Humans are responsible for improving AI. C. LLMs need more training in identifying mental struggles. D. Humans still play a dominant role in addressing mental issues. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是14岁的Zeynep Demirbas针对大型语言模型（LLMs）在心理健康领域应用展开的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家).(这位朋友是位心理学家，他说一些健康保险公司正在推广使用人工智能技术，比如 ChatGPT，来辅助心理健康治疗。其想法是：与人类治疗师相比，人工智能可能成本更低、更容易获取。)”和第二段“That worried Zeynep, 14.(这让 14 岁的Zeynep感到担忧。)”可知，Zeynep在与朋友聊天时担心的是人工智能被应用于心理健康领域。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress.(此前，人类评估者已被要求给每条帖子标注是否包含压力。然后，Zeynep让这些模型识别哪些帖子显示出压力。)”可知，Zeynep给模型提供包含3500多个帖子的数据集，让人类评估者标记每个帖子是否包含压力，然后让模型识别哪些帖子显示压力，因此人类评估者的标记是为模型测试提供了参考标准，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.”(它的表现甚至还不如“随机森林”模型，“随机森林模型本应是一种非常简单且古老的技术，所以我只是把它作为基准”，Zeynep说，“这非常有趣——一个如此小巧简单的模型，居然能够击败像ChatGPT这种使用了数百万个参数、投入了大量代码编写的大型语言模型。”)”可知，Zeynep提及随机森林模型是为了展示大型语言模型在测试中的表现不佳。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional.(她的数据让她得出结论：大型语言模型不应取代人类治疗师。相反，这些模型或许可以帮助识别出那些正陷入困境的人，并将他们转介给心理健康专业人士。)”可知，Zeynep根据数据得出LLMs不应取代人类治疗师，而是可辅助识别有困扰的人并转介给专业人士，说明人类在解决心理问题方面仍占主导地位，故选D。 第二节（共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is said that the most important relationship you have is with yourself.

A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night. I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off. It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers. I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club — standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event? A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. They were chatting loudly and seemed to fill every corner of the place. My heart sank even further. I quickly found an empty seat in the back row, trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible. I clutched my bag tightly, constantly glancing around, praying that nothing bad would happen. Every now and then, I peeked at the bikers, wondering what they were doing here. Were they going to cause trouble? The tension in the air was palpable, and I regretted my decision to come alone. When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They had come to support the fundraiser for the local animal shelters. As the documentary unfolded, showing the plight of the abandoned dogs, I saw many of the bikers wiping away tears. They were as moved as I was by the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories. During the intermission, some of them even came over to me, smiling kindly and asking if I was enjoying the film. Their tough exteriors hid big, soft hearts. I felt ashamed of my initial fear and was truly grateful that I had decided to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在费城参加会议期间，看到酒店附近剧院有一场关于动物救助站救助流浪狗的纪录片放映及筹款活动，作者因喜爱动物想去参加，却在剧院外看到一群看起来凶巴巴的摩托骑手，犹豫后还是进入剧院，希望电影结束时骑手们已离开。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我匆匆走进剧院，却发现里面有更多的骑手。”可知，第一段可描写作者进入剧院后，面对更多骑手时内心的忐忑、不安，以及所采取的试图让自己安全、不引人注意的行动比如找角落座位、紧紧抓包、频繁观察骑手等，展现当时紧张氛围。 ②由第二段首句内容“电影开始时，我意识到这些骑手是一个动物救援组织。”可知，第二段可描写电影播放 过程中作者看到骑手们被纪录片触动的表现，以及中场休息时骑手们与作者友好互动的情景，体现出骑手们外表与内心的反差，突显温暖主题。 2.续写线索：进入剧院，遇到更多骑手——内心恐惧找座躲避——电影开场，知晓骑手身份——观影中骑手真情流露——中场休息友好交流 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：clutch / grab / grasp / seize ②偷看：peek at / steal a look at / glance at ③支持：support / back / uphold / advocate 情绪类 ①感动：moved / touched / affected ②羞愧：ashamed / embarrassed 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea. Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”. Maya decided to use the handy materials to create her own “Fog Harp”. At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind. Little did they know this simple-looking setup would soon prove surprisingly effective. The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. In a traditional mesh net, tiny water drops get easily trapped within the small square gaps, which stop further collection. This occurs because the surface tension — the invisible, stretchy “skin” of liquid water — is too strong for the small drops to overcome. In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below. Of course, the project faced its share of setbacks. During one severe coastal storm, the extreme wind tore through the wooden frame. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, she immediately set out to fix the problem by reinforcing the entire structure with durable steel wires. By the time autumn arrived, Maya’s “Fog Harps” were reliably producing plenty of fresh water every day, partly meeting the daily water needs of the village. 4. Why did Maya observe the thick mist in her afternoons? A. To predict the weather conditions. B. To clarify the reasons for drought. C. To check the efficiency of the mesh nets. D. To work out a solution to water shortage. 5. What can we know about Maya’s “Fog Harp”? A. It was a musical instrument. B. It invited villagers’ acid words. C. It presented an inborn fault. D. It featured a solid metal frame. 6. What is the key for Maya’s Fog Harp to function well? A. Its upright-wire design. B. Its mesh-net structure. C. Its weak surface tension. D. Its resistance to gravity. 7. What can we learn from Maya’s story? A. Look before you leap. B. Better late than never. C. Think outside the box. D. Time waits for no man. C As a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative of renewable energy, wind power is witnessing a striking upward trend across the United States. In 2020, turbines (风力涡轮) generated about 8 percent of the country’s electricity — more than 80 times the share of wind-generated electricity in 2000 — according to the U.S. Energy Information Department. While the growth is a positive step toward curbing climate change, researchers have pointed out that this booming industry may pose severe threats to birds. An estimated 140,000 to 500,000 birds die each year due to turbine crashes. Bird deaths could rise to 1.4 million per year if the U.S. Department of Energy achieves its goal of expanding wind energy to 20 percent of the country’s total electricity generation by 2030. To prevent avoidable deaths, some scientists are supporting the use of citizen science data when deciding where to construct wind farms. Unlike conventional survey statistics, which cover limited time periods or geographical zones, the citizen science data stretch over the entire United States and reflect the entire year. The wind energy industry could use such information to get a more all-round picture and minimize harm to birds. Citizen science has already proven its value in bridging critical informational shortages in ecological research. From 2007 to 2018, more than 180,000 birders uploaded observations about bald eagles to the eBird database. Using that treasure house of data, conservation scientist Viviana Ruiz-Gutierrez, of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and her work fellows estimated where in the United States the birds would be most plentiful throughout the year and face the highest risk of colliding with wind turbines. “Citizen science data should inform decisions about where to build wind turbines,” Viviana argues. “What we’re able to do is really drawing on the strength that only citizen science has.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recommended using the team’s bald eagle maps to identify low-risk crash areas suitable for building wind turbines. 8. What does the underlined word “curbing” in paragraph 1 mean? A. monitoring B. addressing C. documenting D. strengthening 9. What makes citizen science data more advantageous than traditional survey data? A. They cover a wider range. B. They have fewer usage limits. C. They are more accessible. D. They cost less to collect. 10. Why does the author use eBird data in Paragraph 4? A. To define a key term. B. To present a practical solution. C. To support the argument with an example. D. To draw a final conclusion. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Wind Energy Grows Fast in the United States B. Citizen Science Helps Protect Birds from Turbines C. Wind Turbines Bring Threats to Wild Birds D. New Ways to Choose Locations for Wind Farms D Inspiration for Zeynep Demirbas’ research struck during a chat with a friend. That friend, a psychologist, said some health insurance companies were pushing the use of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, for mental health. The idea: AI might be less costly and easier to access than human therapists (治疗专家). That worried Zeynep, 14. She knew that ChatGPT often gave wrong answers or agreed with incorrect statements. Could this type of AI, known as a large language model — or LLM — really be trusted with our mental health? To find out, she tested whether several LLMs could detect stress in human text. She gave the models a dataset of more than 3,500 posts. Human raters had been asked to label each one as containing stress or not. Then Zeynep asked the models to identify which posts showed stress. To judge how well the models did, Zeynep calculated something called an F1-score for each one. This score considers how many stress-containing posts the models accurately spotted. It also accounts for how often the models missed cases of stress and how often they mislabeled posts as showing stress. An LLM specifically designed for mental health did the best. It scored about 82 percent. ChatGPT scored only about 74 percent. ChatGPT performing badly was “really surprising”, Zeynep says. It did even worse than the “random-forest” model, which is “supposed to be a very simple and old technique. So I just put it in as a baseline,” Zeynep says. “That was very interesting — how something so small and simple was able to beat an LLM like ChatGPT that used millions of parameters (参数) and had so much coding go into it.” “We should be mindful with AI,” Zeynep says. “That doesn’t mean that LLMs are bad, because they’re for general use. They’re not necessarily meant for mental health.” Her data led her to conclude that LLMs should not be replacing human therapists. Instead, these models might help identify people who are struggling and refer them to a mental health professional. 12. What worried Zeynep when chatting with a friend? A. AI is applied to mental health. B. Human therapists charge high fees. C. AI is developing at an alarming rate. D. Health insurance companies face challenges. 13. Why were the human raters asked to label the posts? A. To assess the reliability of the posts. B. To figure out the F1-scores of different LLMs. C. To provide a reference standard for LLM testing. D. To assess human raters’ accuracy in detecting stress. 14. Why does Zeynep mention the random-forest model? A. To erase doubts about old models. B. To compare simple and complex models. C. To illustrate the urgent need for more parameters. D. To show the poor performance of LLMs in the test. 15. What does Zeynep mean in the last paragraph? A. LLMs are generally useless in most fields. B. Humans are responsible for improving AI. C. LLMs need more training in identifying mental struggles. D. Humans still play a dominant role in addressing mental issues. 第二节（共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is said that the most important relationship you have is with yourself.

What happened next was far from what I had expected. The group’s leader, a woman named Sam, ____27____ the hike immediately. But more ____28____, not a single person turned back toward the trailhead. Instead, the dozen ____29____ I had met only an hour earlier gathered around. Someone ____30____ a medical bandage. Another offered water and snacks. As we waited for help, we sat on the forest floor. We shared ____31____ — not just about hiking, but about our reasons for moving here, our jobs, our hopes. Laughter ____32____ under the tree, my aching ankle momentarily forgotten. I had joined the group ____33____ beautiful scenery and perhaps a polite acquaintance or two. I left that day with something far more ____34____. The physical trail was steep, but the human impulse (冲动) to connect, to stay beside someone in difficulty, was a powerful, leveling force.

A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night. I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off. It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers. I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club — standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event? A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
