Mense joined the New York Jets and has stayed in tune with the team's schedule."My hours vary from time to time,"she said."It's the busiest during training camp through the end of the season.We will work seven days a week unless it's our bye week,when we don't play a game during the season.We ensure players fuel properly before,during and after practice.They receive recovery shakes,snacks and fruit for post-practice recovery.While they are in training throughout the day,that's my time to plan for the weeks ahead."

Imagine a not-too-distant future,where we each inhabit our own AI-driven digital filter (bubble,crafted for us alone and designed to serve corporate interests.This future resembles 1998's movie The Truman Show,where the main character unknowingly lived his entire life within a reality TV show designed by a production studio. One subset of Al,large language models (LLM),won't turn our lives into reality TV shows.Instead,personalized AI agents threaten to cage each of us in an individualized and illusory unreality,profiting from our digital activities and walling us off from genuine connections.Many companies are developing individualized LLM.The underlying principle is that AI will learn about the individual user and adapt accordingly.For example,if you're a super fan of a football team,you'll be fed updates,ads,and videos tailored to your interests 24 hours a day.Some algorithms may even learn your schedule,pushing information at you during precisely those times when you're most likely to be looking. This may sound harmless.But the next step is to use LLM to create memes,or even fake articles,feeding you conspiracy theories about rival teams.This is a miserable reality for at least two reasons.For one,there are neither computational methods or ethical incentives in place to ensure that the information you receive is true.But just as frightening as the lack of regard for the truth is an even scarier element.You will no longer live with an accurate understanding of football team that is fully compatible with anyone else's.You will run on information generated only for yourself.This vision is unsettling,even in sports and entertainment.But what of institutions that have more direct social consequences?Education? 第3页 Politics? With the fall of the press and polarization of everything,conversations around holiday table have already become impossible for many extended families.Bad as the status quo might be,stranger times lie ahead that make us long for today's echo chambers(信息茧房).Soon, our bubbles will shrink further and further,until our digital worlds involve only ourselves.In an Al-mediated future,everyone will live in a private Truman Show.As a society,we will be completely incapable of making fruitful collective decisions because we will have no shared understanding of the world. What's the way out?Find your entertainment in spaces with actual people,exchanging thoughts and creations with each other.Even online,we must keep our understanding of the world grounded in human-authored documents and artifacts.Valuing what humans create is not merely a matter of authenticity;it also ensures we focus on arguments that an author cared enough to make,on conservations that speakers cared enough to have. Otherwise,The Truman Show's premise becomes our reality,unknowingly inhabiting a fake world where our every experience is designed for profit.Even more existentially alienating?Living in a Truman Show where the director,producer and the only one watching is an AI. 27.The author mentions The Truman Show in Paragraph 1 to A.make a comparison B.illustrate a situation C.support an argument D.propose a suggestion 28.According to the passage,personalized AI agents may A.isolate individuals in false realities B.confirm the credibility of the content C.discourage the companies'ethical incentives D.improve user behavior by feeding targeted ads 29.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Algorithms have raised concerns over privacy. B.LLMs are in great need of computational upgrade. C.Echo chambers weaken collective decision-making. D.Technology development results in polarized society. 30.Which would be the best title for this passage? A.AI and the Future of Human Interaction B.AI Will Turn Our Lives into The Truman Show C.The Truman Show Predicts AI's Impact on Media D.Algorithmic Bubbles and the Value of Human Creations 共5页 D Nature vs.Nurture Curiosity hasaybeefhmostbo and prevailingfmnkd. Ourendlesspursuitoftnuthandreasonshasresultedinalotofcrucialdiscoveriesintheworld, However,themore we uncover the world,the more we end up generating more uestions to aswer.Ou ofall the wonders fthe wold,human psychology is oitobnofth most controversal.The complexity ofthe mind and its reflectionon human behavior hasbeena subject of many studies and debates.One oftheoldest and,still,most talked about an argument in psychology is the nature against nurture debate. Naturer to the biological structure and oes that determine a perso's physical and behavioral attributes.Due to the advancement of genetics,scientists have uncovered that physical traits such as eyeo,hair type,height,and life expectancy ofa personcan strongly be related to the genetic makeup.These discoveries have led to the speculation that most psychological characteristics like intellect,personality,and language acquisition ability are already pre-wired to our system through our genetic pattern. In contrast,nurture theory suggests that behavior is honed from socio-cultural factors.This theory is guided by John Locke's"blank slate"theory,which refers to the idea that the human mind,in its primal state,is a blank slate that is gradually filled in with information from direct and indirect experiences.This theory states people's characteristics and behavioral diversity attend results of social and cultural influences encountered during their development. The term Nature vs.Nurture debate was put forward by Sir Francis Galton,who believed that intellect is a quantifiable and hereditary human trait.He also believed that intellect can be passed from generation to generation.Thus,people with high intelligence have a major chance of having highly intellectual offspring,while people having lower than average intellect are more likely to have low intellectual offspring.However,the believers of nurture theory believed that intellectual ability attends the result of inequalities in access to resources and opportunities.Thus,intellect is not a product of heredity but more of a result of the social construct. Countless research and experimentation have been conducted to put an end to the seemingly endless debate.Psychologists and researchers of the present already embrace the idea that a person's character is highly influenced by his genetic makeup and the environment. The years of labored research on nature and nurture theory finally have born fruits. Technology and research have expanded a better understanding of the human personality and mind,and will just continuously do as time passes by. 第4页 31.Why does the author mention "curiosity"in the first paragraph? A.To predict the research results. B.To emphasize the importance of exploring. C.To lead to the argument of nature against nurture. D.To raise the reader's interest in the theory of nature. 32.What does John Locke's "blank slate"theory suggest? A.Human mind is always blank. B.People's behaviors are learned. C.Behavior is determined genetically. D.Culture has little influence on human. 33.What is the attitude of Sir Francis Galton towards the theory of nurture? A.Disapproving. B.Supportive. C.Neutral. D.Cautious. 34.Which of the following might the author agree with? A.The theory of nature is not accepted by the public B.The theory of nurture is based on the theory of nature.

D.The theory of nature and the theory of nurture both make sense. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 The Brain Perceives Unexpected Pain More Strongly Pain perception (can vary significantly between individuals and even within the same person across different situations.In some cases,an injury or physical illness may lead to stronger pain than expected,while similar injuries at other times may result in much milder pain. This difference suggests that pain perception is not entirely determined by the physical injury itself.35 To explain this phenomenon,a new study has introduced two main assumptions.One is the Estimate Hypothesis(),which suggests that the brain estimates the intensity of pain based on predictions it makes about the injury.The other is the Surprise Hypothesis,which argues that the brain feels pain as the difference between what it expects and what actually occurred.This difference,also known as the prediction gap,plays a key role in shaping how pain is experienced.36 Healthy participants were subjected to painful hot-based stimuli ()while observing visual signals in a virtual reality setting.These signals were either 页共5页 associated with painful or non-painful experiences.Participants were then asked to report their pain intensity. 37 This phenomenon occurs when the actual pain is much stronger than the brain's expectations.Their findings suggest that the brain strengthens pain perception when there is a substantial difference between anticipated and actual pain levels.38 It provides a more accurate framework for understanding how the brain processes pain.The study supported the idea that the difference between expectation and reality causes pain to feel worse. Individuals with persistent pain often experience uncertain fears and anxieties about their condition.This mismatch between their expectations and the actual experience of pain can further strengthen how strongly they perceive the pain.39 Gaining deeper insights into how the brain processes pain could also contribute to the development of more effective treatments,ultimately improving recovery from persistent pain. A.This evidence supports the Surprise Hypothesis. B.It is also strongly influenced by individual expectations C.In this study,how the brain perceives pain was examined. D.In contrast,the gap will determine the intensity of the pain one feels. E.Researchers found pain perception becomes more intense as the prediction gap widens. F.The findings highlight the importance of psychological factors in pain management. G.Narrowing this gap between expectation and reality may play a key role in reducing pain. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The idiom"No I'in Team”is based on a pun(双关语)-The word "team”does not contain the letter "i",which highlights the idea that instead of focusing on themselves as individuals,team members should work together to achieve their common goals. When it comes to achieving success,there's no denying that teamwork plays a crucial role. We've all been there-group projects at school,working with colleagues at the office or playing sports with teammates.A successful team agrees and sets goals based on outcomes and results to complete its tasks.It's important that each member knows the direction the team is working toward,their responsibilities,and how they aim to achieve the team's collective goals.It's essential that group members within the team share workloads and help each other 第5页 to succeed. Mostly,in typical workplace culture,being focus on individual pursuits is considered just selfish,but is supporting individuals in their own pursuits really anti-team?Evidence suggests that (putting the "I"back into team can improve workplace productivity and employee engagement.In the 1990s the Harvard Business School did research,demonstrating the benefits of giving employees paid time to follow their own individual pursuits.Since then, some notable companies have introduced unstructured time into their workplaces. In Daniel Pink's book Drive,he argues that the best way to motivate employees is not through the carrot and stick approach but rather through allowing and enabling them to direct their own lives.When teams understand what matters to the individuals within them,they are able to better empathise with each other and have each others'backs. There is an"I"in team and when we start to implement programs that support individuals in their pursuits,we may just find they are more creative,more engaged and more productive. 40.What idea does the idiom "No 'I'in Team"highlight? 41.Why is it important to put"I"back into team? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. According to Daniel Pink,the effective way to motivate employees is to set the goal the company would like their employees to achieve. 43.As an individual,how can you play your role in a team?(In about 40 words) 第二节（20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的英国好友Jm正在策划一场以“绿色北京"为主题的社团 活动，发来邮件向你征求建议。请你给他回复邮件，内容需包含： 1.活动形式 2.活动内容 要求：词数100词左右； 开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, 页共5页
