My suggestion is to focus on one key trend: AI-assisted learning. Nowadays, AI tools are revolutionizing how high school students like me study. They provide instant homework help, generate practice questions, and even analyze our mistakes to create personalized study plans. Many classmates use voice assistants to practice English speaking, making learning more interactive. I believe your article will definitely be relevant if you highlight AI-assisted learning in Beijing and how it is transforming education here. Truly this is cutting-edge technology that is relatable to teens worldwide! I hope my advice is helpful.

B At an airport I overheard an old man and his daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.” She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy.” They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked. “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?” “When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory. “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.” 24.

C Elephants and gorillas in the Republic of the Congo’s rainforests spend a lot of time hiding in the shadows — or so we thought. Using drone (无人机) surveys and AI processing, scientists have discovered an extensive network of mysterious open clearings among the trees. Animals like elephants, gorillas visit these muddy areas, called bais, in the languages of the Indigenous Ba’Aka, to search for vital nutrition and maintain their complex social networks. The numerous playgrounds are visible in satellite images, and AI analysis is helping researchers find them more effectively. The discovery began in 2021 when Sylvain Ngouma and Evan Hockridge came upon a massive clearing during fieldwork in Odzala-Kokoua National Park and found a trail (踪迹) of wet, pot-sized footprints leading through the woods to the open roundabout. Hockridge, who had thought bais were abnormal, says, “I had it backward. It kind of hit me when I was there. You can’t understand animal interactions without first understanding bais.” For the next three summers, the team investigated the clearings. They analyzed camera-trap images, confirming what local people had told them — that these natural clearings are crucial gathering grounds for some of the world’s most endangered mammals. The bais, they realized, are big melting pots, big playgrounds, for a collection of forest animals. During the initial surveys, the team followed elephant trails to move through the rainforest from bai to bai. This process led Hockridge to wonder about a network. Although previous studies documented animal behavior in selected bais, no one had counted them or had the means to map their distribution. The team partnered with African Parks, using drones to scan known sites. They trained an AI algorithm (算法) to identify bais in satellite imagery, revealing 2,176 clearings in one park — 10 times more than previously recorded. Bais are always near rivers or streams. Most are smaller than a city block, but few, at more than 100 acres, are bigger than some college campuses. “Bais are ultimately islands of resources, and animals produce these networks of trails to essentially navigate to and from a network of bais,” Hockridge says. The researchers’ map of bais, the first of its kind, is also a map of conservation priorities. “We find that a huge portion of the animal community depends on this unique ecosystem. These species don’t have alternative habitats other than bais,” Hockridge says. The study is also a step toward solving the ultimate mystery: How did bais form? Many ecologists have argued that a combination of hydrology (水文学) and animal landscaping is at play. But definitive proof remains elusive. Now, with a map in hand and camera traps still in place, the research team is tracking long-term changes, which have implications for the maintenance of these crucial animal habitats. “We have hypotheses (假说),” Andrew Davies, an ecologist in Harvard, says, “but the short answer is: we don’t know.” 28. For rainforest animals, bais are places for ________. A. fun and safety B. water and shelter C. food and connection D. shade and entertainment 29. What can we learn about Ngouma and Hockridge’s research? A. It discovered how bais formed. B It was the first to map the network of bais. C. It analyzed images of bais provided by local people. D. It concluded bais were spots intended for endangered species. 30. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Difficult to find. B. Simple to clarify. C. Possible to overestimate. D. Unlikely to question. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Conservation Priorities in Rainforests B. Modern Tools Adopted for Rainforest Exploration C. Secrets of Rainforest Animals’ Social Networks D. Hidden Playgrounds Revealed in Rainforests D Years ago I spoke with a 16-year-old girl who was considering the idea of having a computer companion in the future, and she described the upside to me. It’s not that the robot she had imagined was so inspiring. It’s that she had already found people to be so disappointing. And now, for the first time, she explained to me, people have options. Back then I thought her comments seemed prescient (预见未来的) . Now I find them timely. This girl had grown up in a time when conversational machines were presented as empathy devices that could understand her. And so it seemed natural to her that other machines would expand the range of conversation. But there is something she may have been too young to understand or, like a lot of us, tend to forget when we talk to machines. These robots can perform empathy in a conversation about your friend, your mother, or your child, but they have no experience of any of these relationships. Their conversations about life occupy the realm of the as-if. In our manufacturing and marketing of these machines, we encourage children to develop an emotional tie that is sure to lead to an empathetic dead end. On top of this, it has become fashionable for psychologists to critique empathy, a unique form of human connection, just at a time when we are starting relationships with objects with none to give. The coincidence is too convenient: children will lose the ability to have empathy if they relate too consistently with objects that cannot form empathetic ties. Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy (亲密). And yet that is the kind of talk that one hears these days. The narrative begins with the idea that compassionate robots would be “better than nothing”, better because there aren’t enough people to teach, love, and tend to people. But that idea quickly shifts into another: robots would be better than almost anything. Unlike people, they would not abandon you or get sick and die. They might not be capable of love, but they won’t break your heart. From better than nothing to better than anything. These are stations on our voyage to forgetting what it means to be human. But the forgetting begins long before we have a robot companion in place; it begins when we even think of putting one in place. To build the robots, we must first rebuild ourselves as people ready to be their companions. Being human today is about the struggle to remain genuinely empathetic. Ourselves-to remember why it matters, to remember what we cherish. These says, to be human is to keep one’s mind on the glory that one is. 32. The author mentions the 16-year-old girl mainly to . A. draw a comparison B. provide an example C. evaluate a comment D. introduce a topic 33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Technology unexpectedly advances empathy studies. B. Psychologists accidentally ignore the needs of children. C. The criticism of empathy is scientifically valid but poorly timed. D. The tech industries may benefit from the timing of psychological cycles? 34. Which of the following statements might the author agree with? A. Technological progress clarifies human values through challenges. B. Artificial intimacy reflects technological progress yet threatens empathy. C. Technology’s medical benefits justify its application in emotional domains. D. Future technologies like AI companions require stricter moral regulations. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Writing a compelling essay is an art that requires effort and skill. ____35____ This article provides tips to help you craft an impactful and engaging essay that resonates (共鸣) with your readers.

Her grades began to slip, and her teachers sometimes reminded her to pay more attention. Lucy knew something had to change. She started by setting a goal: waking up at 6:30 a. m. every day. She placed her alarm clock across the room so that she had to get out of bed to turn it off. She also planned her mornings carefully, including a short workout, a healthy breakfast, and a few minutes to review her schedule. At first, it was hard. She felt tired in the morning and wanted to sleep longer. But she kept reminding herself of the benefits: more energy, better focus, and less stress. After a few weeks, waking up early became easier. She started feeling more refreshed and had enough time to prepare for school calmly. Her new routine also helped her in other ways. Her academic performance began to improve and her test scores started to rise.

I have challenges ahead and the reality is her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?” “When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory. “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.” 24. The old man want to cry because ________. A. he was guilty for not loving his daughter enough B. his daughter didn’t care about him as expected C. he had a slim chance to see his daughter again D. his daughter’s parting words made him sad 25.

What message does the old man’s wish convey? A. Every moment is a precious gift. B. Great hopes make great men. C. Happiness lies in satisfaction. D. To get time is to get everything. 27. According to the passage, which can best describe the old man? A. Helpful and gentle. B. Wise and loving. C. Kind and generous. D. Modest and thoughtful. C Elephants and gorillas in the Republic of the Congo’s rainforests spend a lot of time hiding in the shadows — or so we thought. Using drone (无人机) surveys and AI processing, scientists have discovered an extensive network of mysterious open clearings among the trees. Animals like elephants, gorillas visit these muddy areas, called bais, in the languages of the Indigenous Ba’Aka, to search for vital nutrition and maintain their complex social networks. The numerous playgrounds are visible in satellite images, and AI analysis is helping researchers find them more effectively. The discovery began in 2021 when Sylvain Ngouma and Evan Hockridge came upon a massive clearing during fieldwork in Odzala-Kokoua National Park and found a trail (踪迹) of wet, pot-sized footprints leading through the woods to the open roundabout. Hockridge, who had thought bais were abnormal, says, “I had it backward. It kind of hit me when I was there. You can’t understand animal interactions without first understanding bais.” For the next three summers, the team investigated the clearings. They analyzed camera-trap images, confirming what local people had told them — that these natural clearings are crucial gathering grounds for some of the world’s most endangered mammals. The bais, they realized, are big melting pots, big playgrounds, for a collection of forest animals. During the initial surveys, the team followed elephant trails to move through the rainforest from bai to bai. This process led Hockridge to wonder about a network. Although previous studies documented animal behavior in selected bais, no one had counted them or had the means to map their distribution. The team partnered with African Parks, using drones to scan known sites. They trained an AI algorithm (算法) to identify bais in satellite imagery, revealing 2,176 clearings in one park — 10 times more than previously recorded. Bais are always near rivers or streams. Most are smaller than a city block, but few, at more than 100 acres, are bigger than some college campuses. “Bais are ultimately islands of resources, and animals produce these networks of trails to essentially navigate to and from a network of bais,” Hockridge says. The researchers’ map of bais, the first of its kind, is also a map of conservation priorities. “We find that a huge portion of the animal community depends on this unique ecosystem. These species don’t have alternative habitats other than bais,” Hockridge says. The study is also a step toward solving the ultimate mystery: How did bais form? Many ecologists have argued that a combination of hydrology (水文学) and animal landscaping is at play. But definitive proof remains elusive. Now, with a map in hand and camera traps still in place, the research team is tracking long-term changes, which have implications for the maintenance of these crucial animal habitats. “We have hypotheses (假说),” Andrew Davies, an ecologist in Harvard, says, “but the short answer is: we don’t know.” 28. For rainforest animals, bais are places for ________. A. fun and safety B. water and shelter C. food and connection D. shade and entertainment 29. What can we learn about Ngouma and Hockridge’s research? A. It discovered how bais formed. B It was the first to map the network of bais. C. It analyzed images of bais provided by local people. D. It concluded bais were spots intended for endangered species. 30. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Difficult to find. B. Simple to clarify. C. Possible to overestimate. D. Unlikely to question. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Conservation Priorities in Rainforests B. Modern Tools Adopted for Rainforest Exploration C. Secrets of Rainforest Animals’ Social Networks D. Hidden Playgrounds Revealed in Rainforests D Years ago I spoke with a 16-year-old girl who was considering the idea of having a computer companion in the future, and she described the upside to me. It’s not that the robot she had imagined was so inspiring. It’s that she had already found people to be so disappointing. And now, for the first time, she explained to me, people have options. Back then I thought her comments seemed prescient (预见未来的) . Now I find them timely. This girl had grown up in a time when conversational machines were presented as empathy devices that could understand her. And so it seemed natural to her that other machines would expand the range of conversation. But there is something she may have been too young to understand or, like a lot of us, tend to forget when we talk to machines. These robots can perform empathy in a conversation about your friend, your mother, or your child, but they have no experience of any of these relationships. Their conversations about life occupy the realm of the as-if. In our manufacturing and marketing of these machines, we encourage children to develop an emotional tie that is sure to lead to an empathetic dead end. On top of this, it has become fashionable for psychologists to critique empathy, a unique form of human connection, just at a time when we are starting relationships with objects with none to give. The coincidence is too convenient: children will lose the ability to have empathy if they relate too consistently with objects that cannot form empathetic ties. Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy (亲密). And yet that is the kind of talk that one hears these days. The narrative begins with the idea that compassionate robots would be “better than nothing”, better because there aren’t enough people to teach, love, and tend to people. But that idea quickly shifts into another: robots would be better than almost anything. Unlike people, they would not abandon you or get sick and die. They might not be capable of love, but they won’t break your heart. From better than nothing to better than anything. These are stations on our voyage to forgetting what it means to be human. But the forgetting begins long before we have a robot companion in place; it begins when we even think of putting one in place. To build the robots, we must first rebuild ourselves as people ready to be their companions. Being human today is about the struggle to remain genuinely empathetic. Ourselves-to remember why it matters, to remember what we cherish. These says, to be human is to keep one’s mind on the glory that one is. 32. The author mentions the 16-year-old girl mainly to . A. draw a comparison B. provide an example C. evaluate a comment D. introduce a topic 33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Technology unexpectedly advances empathy studies. B. Psychologists accidentally ignore the needs of children. C. The criticism of empathy is scientifically valid but poorly timed. D. The tech industries may benefit from the timing of psychological cycles? 34. Which of the following statements might the author agree with? A. Technological progress clarifies human values through challenges. B. Artificial intimacy reflects technological progress yet threatens empathy. C. Technology’s medical benefits justify its application in emotional domains. D. Future technologies like AI companions require stricter moral regulations. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Writing a compelling essay is an art that requires effort and skill. ____35____ This article provides tips to help you craft an impactful and engaging essay that resonates (共鸣) with your readers.

She would hit the snooze button (贪睡按钮) multiple times and often rush to school in a panic. As a result, she was often late to class, and struggled to focus during lessons. Her grades began to slip, and her teachers sometimes reminded her to pay more attention. Lucy knew something had to change. She started by setting a goal: waking up at 6:30 a. m. every day. She placed her alarm clock across the room so that she had to get out of bed to turn it off. She also planned her mornings carefully, including a short workout, a healthy breakfast, and a few minutes to review her schedule. At first, it was hard. She felt tired in the morning and wanted to sleep longer. But she kept reminding herself of the benefits: more energy, better focus, and less stress. After a few weeks, waking up early became easier. She started feeling more refreshed and had enough time to prepare for school calmly. Her new routine also helped her in other ways. Her academic performance began to improve and her test scores started to rise.

They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.” She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy.” They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked. “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?” “When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory. “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral (我老了，她住得太远了。我面临着挑战，现实是，她下次回来就是参加我的葬礼)”可知，老人想哭是因为他几乎无法再见到女儿。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. (这句话勾起了我对父亲为我所做的一切表达爱和感激的回忆。意识到他的日子不多了，我花时间当面告诉他，他对我来说有多重要。所以我知道这个人正在经历什么。)”可知，作者通过回忆自己与父亲的经历，说明他能共情老人的离别之痛。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

Using drone (无人机) surveys and AI processing, scientists have discovered an extensive network of mysterious open clearings among the trees. Animals like elephants, gorillas visit these muddy areas, called bais, in the languages of the Indigenous Ba’Aka, to search for vital nutrition and maintain their complex social networks. The numerous playgrounds are visible in satellite images, and AI analysis is helping researchers find them more effectively. The discovery began in 2021 when Sylvain Ngouma and Evan Hockridge came upon a massive clearing during fieldwork in Odzala-Kokoua National Park and found a trail (踪迹) of wet, pot-sized footprints leading through the woods to the open roundabout. Hockridge, who had thought bais were abnormal, says, “I had it backward. It kind of hit me when I was there. You can’t understand animal interactions without first understanding bais.” For the next three summers, the team investigated the clearings. They analyzed camera-trap images, confirming what local people had told them — that these natural clearings are crucial gathering grounds for some of the world’s most endangered mammals. The bais, they realized, are big melting pots, big playgrounds, for a collection of forest animals. During the initial surveys, the team followed elephant trails to move through the rainforest from bai to bai. This process led Hockridge to wonder about a network. Although previous studies documented animal behavior in selected bais, no one had counted them or had the means to map their distribution. The team partnered with African Parks, using drones to scan known sites. They trained an AI algorithm (算法) to identify bais in satellite imagery, revealing 2,176 clearings in one park — 10 times more than previously recorded. Bais are always near rivers or streams. Most are smaller than a city block, but few, at more than 100 acres, are bigger than some college campuses. “Bais are ultimately islands of resources, and animals produce these networks of trails to essentially navigate to and from a network of bais,” Hockridge says. The researchers’ map of bais, the first of its kind, is also a map of conservation priorities. “We find that a huge portion of the animal community depends on this unique ecosystem. These species don’t have alternative habitats other than bais,” Hockridge says. The study is also a step toward solving the ultimate mystery: How did bais form? Many ecologists have argued that a combination of hydrology (水文学) and animal landscaping is at play. But definitive proof remains elusive. Now, with a map in hand and camera traps still in place, the research team is tracking long-term changes, which have implications for the maintenance of these crucial animal habitats. “We have hypotheses (假说),” Andrew Davies, an ecologist in Harvard, says, “but the short answer is: we don’t know.” 28. For rainforest animals, bais are places for ________. A. fun and safety B. water and shelter C. food and connection D. shade and entertainment 29. What can we learn about Ngouma and Hockridge’s research? A. It discovered how bais formed. B It was the first to map the network of bais. C. It analyzed images of bais provided by local people. D. It concluded bais were spots intended for endangered species. 30. What does the underlined word “elusive” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Difficult to find. B. Simple to clarify. C. Possible to overestimate. D. Unlikely to question. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Conservation Priorities in Rainforests B. Modern Tools Adopted for Rainforest Exploration C. Secrets of Rainforest Animals’ Social Networks D. Hidden Playgrounds Revealed in Rainforests 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家借助无人机调查和人工智能处理，在刚果共和国雨林中发现众多神秘开阔空地“bais”，这些空地对大象、大猩猩等动物意义重大，研究团队还绘制出首张“bais”网络地图，但“bais”的形成原因仍有待探索。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Animals like elephants, gorillas visit these muddy areas, called bais... to search for vital nutrition and maintain their complex social networks.(像大象、大猩猩这样的动物会来到这些被称为bais的泥泞区域……寻找重要的营养物质，并维持它们复杂的社会网络)”可知，对于雨林动物来说，bais是获取食物（营养物质）和建立联系（维持社会网络）的地方。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The researchers’ map of bais, the first of its kind, is also a map of conservation priorities.(研究人员绘制的bais地图，是此类地图中的首张，也是一张保护优先级地图)”可知，Ngouma和Hockridge的研究首次绘制出了bais网络地图。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第六段中的“The study is also a step toward solving the ultimate mystery: How did bais form? Many ecologists have argued that a combination of hydrology(水文学) and animal landscaping is at play. But definitive proof remains elusive.(这项研究也是朝着解开最终谜团迈出的一步：bais是如何形成的？许多生态学家认为水文学和动物景观的结合在起作用。但确凿的证据仍然elusive)”以及最后一段““We have hypotheses(假说),” Andrew Davies, an ecologist in Harvard, says, “but the short answer is: we don’t know.”(哈佛大学的生态学家安德鲁·戴维斯说：“我们有一些假设，但简短的答案是：我们不知道”)”可知，虽然有一些观点，但仍不确定bais的形成原因，所以确凿证据难以找到，“elusive”意思是“Difficult to find（难以找到）”故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍科学家借助无人机调查和人工智能处理，在刚果共和国雨林中发现众多神秘开阔空地“bais”，这些空地对大象、大猩猩等动物意义重大，研究团队还绘制出首张“bais”网络地图，但“bais”的形成原因仍有待探索。D选项“雨林中揭示的隐藏游乐场”，准确概括文章内容，为最佳标题。故选D项。 D Years ago I spoke with a 16-year-old girl who was considering the idea of having a computer companion in the future, and she described the upside to me. It’s not that the robot she had imagined was so inspiring. It’s that she had already found people to be so disappointing. And now, for the first time, she explained to me, people have options. Back then I thought her comments seemed prescient (预见未来的) . Now I find them timely. This girl had grown up in a time when conversational machines were presented as empathy devices that could understand her. And so it seemed natural to her that other machines would expand the range of conversation. But there is something she may have been too young to understand or, like a lot of us, tend to forget when we talk to machines. These robots can perform empathy in a conversation about your friend, your mother, or your child, but they have no experience of any of these relationships. Their conversations about life occupy the realm of the as-if. In our manufacturing and marketing of these machines, we encourage children to develop an emotional tie that is sure to lead to an empathetic dead end. On top of this, it has become fashionable for psychologists to critique empathy, a unique form of human connection, just at a time when we are starting relationships with objects with none to give. The coincidence is too convenient: children will lose the ability to have empathy if they relate too consistently with objects that cannot form empathetic ties. Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy (亲密). And yet that is the kind of talk that one hears these days. The narrative begins with the idea that compassionate robots would be “better than nothing”, better because there aren’t enough people to teach, love, and tend to people. But that idea quickly shifts into another: robots would be better than almost anything. Unlike people, they would not abandon you or get sick and die. They might not be capable of love, but they won’t break your heart. From better than nothing to better than anything. These are stations on our voyage to forgetting what it means to be human. But the forgetting begins long before we have a robot companion in place; it begins when we even think of putting one in place. To build the robots, we must first rebuild ourselves as people ready to be their companions. Being human today is about the struggle to remain genuinely empathetic. Ourselves-to remember why it matters, to remember what we cherish. These says, to be human is to keep one’s mind on the glory that one is. 32. The author mentions the 16-year-old girl mainly to . A. draw a comparison B. provide an example C. evaluate a comment D. introduce a topic 33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Technology unexpectedly advances empathy studies. B. Psychologists accidentally ignore the needs of children. C. The criticism of empathy is scientifically valid but poorly timed. D. The tech industries may benefit from the timing of psychological cycles? 34. Which of the following statements might the author agree with? A. Technological progress clarifies human values through challenges. B. Artificial intimacy reflects technological progress yet threatens empathy. C. Technology’s medical benefits justify its application in emotional domains. D. Future technologies like AI companions require stricter moral regulations. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们与机器人建立关系时，机器人表现出的看似亲密但实际是虚假的共情，这种虚假的亲密关系会让人们逐渐忘记作为人类的意义，减少人性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Years ago I spoke with a 16-year-old girl who was considering the idea of having a computer companion in the future, and she described the upside to me. It’s not that the robot she had imagined was so inspiring. It’s that she had already found people to be so disappointing. And now, for the first time, she explained to me, people have options. Back then I thought her comments seemed prescient (预见未来的). Now I find them timely. (几年前，我和一个16岁的女孩聊天，她正在考虑将来有一个电脑伴侣的想法，她向我描述了它的好处。这并不是说她想象中的机器人有多么鼓舞人心。而是她已经发现人们是如此令人失望。现在，她向我解释说，人们第一次有了选择。当时我觉得她的评论似乎很有先见之明。现在我发现它们是及时的)”可知，作者在文章开头提到这个16岁的女孩，描述她成长在对话机器被视为能理解她的共情设备的时代，以及她对机器扩展对话范围的自然看法，从而引出全文的核心议题 —— 人类与人工智能伴侣的关系，以及这种关系对人性（尤其是同理心）的潜在影响所。以作者提到这个女孩主要是为了引出话题。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In our manufacturing and marketing of these machines, we encourage children to develop an emotional tie that is sure to lead to an empathetic dead end. On top of this, it has become fashionable for psychologists to critique empathy, a unique form of human connection, just at a time when we are starting relationships with objects with none to give. The coincidence is too convenient: children will lose the ability to have empathy if they relate too consistently with objects that cannot form empathetic ties.( 在我们制造和销售这些机器的过程中，我们鼓励孩子们建立一种情感联系，这种联系肯定会导致同理心的死胡同。最重要的是，心理学家批评同理心已经成为一种时尚。这是一种独特的人际关系形式，就在我们开始与无物交往的时候。这种巧合太方便了：如果孩子们与不能形成同理心联系的物体过于一致，他们就会失去同理心的能力)”可知，第三段指出，在人们开始与无共情能力的机器建立关系时，心理学家恰好开始批评人类独特的共情能力。这种“巧合” 使得人们更容易接受机器，间接利于科技行业推广相关产品，因此“科技行业可能从心理周期的时机中获益”。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy(亲密).( 科技促使我们审视人类的价值。我们可以尝试用技术来治疗帕金森氏症或阿尔茨海默氏症，这将是一种祝福，但这种祝福并不是从人工增强大脑转向人工亲密的理由)”以及第六段中“ From better than nothing to better than anything. These are stations on our voyage to forgetting what it means to be human. But the forgetting begins long before we have a robot companion in place; it begins when we even think of putting one in place( 从聊胜于无到无与伦比。这些都是我们在逐渐遗忘“人之为人的意义”这趟旅程中的站点。但这种遗忘早在我们拥有机器人伴侣之前就已开始；它始于我们甚至萌生“要拥有一个机器人伴侣”这个念头的那一刻)”可知，文章提到我们可以利用技术治疗帕金森或老年痴呆症，这是好事；但会让人们逐渐忘记共情，因此人工亲密反映了技术进步但威胁到了共情（empathy）。故选B项。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Writing a compelling essay is an art that requires effort and skill. ____35____ This article provides tips to help you craft an impactful and engaging essay that resonates (共鸣) with your readers.

She would hit the snooze button (贪睡按钮) multiple times and often rush to school in a panic. As a result, she was often late to class, and struggled to focus during lessons. Her grades began to slip, and her teachers sometimes reminded her to pay more attention. Lucy knew something had to change. She started by setting a goal: waking up at 6:30 a. m. every day. She placed her alarm clock across the room so that she had to get out of bed to turn it off. She also planned her mornings carefully, including a short workout, a healthy breakfast, and a few minutes to review her schedule. At first, it was hard. She felt tired in the morning and wanted to sleep longer. But she kept reminding herself of the benefits: more energy, better focus, and less stress. After a few weeks, waking up early became easier. She started feeling more refreshed and had enough time to prepare for school calmly. Her new routine also helped her in other ways. Her academic performance began to improve and her test scores started to rise. And Lucy even began developing new interests, such as reading novels and painting, which made her feel more balanced and inspired. Now, Lucy enjoys her mornings and feels proud of her progress. She has learned that with patience, consistency, and effort, good habits can replace bad ones and lead to lasting improvement. 40. What problem did Lucy have in the morning? _________________________________________________________________ 41. What happened to Lucy’s test scores with her new routine? _________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Lucy began developing new interests, such as reading novels and painting because she felt tired of her academic performance. _________________________________________________________________ 43.
