About a year ago, my mother turned on the dishwasher and went to the airport to drop off my father who was headed overseas on a work trip. By the time she got back, there was water all over the kitchen floor. We called a repairman, only to be told the dishwasher would have to be replaced. A new one was ordered but it would not arrive for more than a month. As my mother had a tight schedule, I had no choice but to take on the task of washing dishes by hand after dinner.
I soon found myself faced with a pile of thankless dishes in the sink, urging me to get on with it and deliver on my duty. At the beginning, I was annoyed when doing the dishes. I was in a rush to be done with them since I had an endless list of things to finish as a high school student taking a tough course load. Gradually, I realized that, for about 15 minutes every day, I could slow down time and forget everything in the world as my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success.
We did finally get the new dishwasher placed. However, I continued to wash dishes by hand after dinner, perplexing my mother immensely.
Washing dishes by hand has been more educational than I could have ever imagined. I’m running around stressed most of the day. There are homework assignments, projects, quizzes and tests competing for my attention and time. I’ve caged myself in a prison of my ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.
However, standing at the same spot every day in front of the kitchen window washing dishes has allowed me to recover some of it. My mind has taken snapshots of the changing view over the yard outside the kitchen window and meditated on the passage of time in this sliver of the universe in front of me.
4. Why did the author start washing dishes by hand?
A. The old dishwasher broke down. B. His mother requested him to do so.
C. He attempted to please his father. D. The new dishwasher was over budget.
5. What did the author think of dish-washing initially?
A. It was a stress-reliever. B. It was complicated.
C. It was a money-saver. D. It was burdensome.
6. What does the underlined word “perplexing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Offending. B. Puzzling. C. Discouraging. D. Inspiring.
7. What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?
A. He grew more sensitive to the beauty of nature.
B. He regretted devoting too much time to study.
C. He decided to abandon some of his ambitions.
D. He desired to move to a house with a larger yard.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】讲述作者因洗碗机损坏开始手动洗碗,慢慢从中沉淀内心,收获别样感悟与生活心境。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We called a repairman, only to be told the dishwasher would have to be replaced. A new one was ordered but it would not arrive for more than a month.(我们叫来维修人员,却被告知洗碗机必须更换,新机器已经订购,但一个多月后才能送达。)”可知,旧洗碗机出现故障无法使用,作者只得手动洗碗。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the beginning, I was annoyed when doing the dishes.(一开始,我洗碗的时候心里十分烦躁。)”可知,作者起初认为洗碗是一件令人负担沉重的事。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We did finally get the new dishwasher placed. However, I continued to wash dishes by hand after dinner(新洗碗机最终安装完毕,可我依旧坚持饭后手动洗碗)”可知,正常有机器使用却仍手工洗碗,这样的行为让母亲感到疑惑不解,由此可知,划线单词的含义为“令人困惑的”与puzzling意义相近。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I’ve caged myself in a prison of my ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.(我将自己困在抱负与期许之中,与世间诸多美好事物相隔绝)”以及第五段中的“My mind has taken snapshots of the changing view over the yard outside the kitchen window and meditated on the passage of time in this sliver of the universe in front of me.(我的脑海记录下厨房窗外院子里不断变换的景致,凝望眼前方寸天地感悟时光流逝。)” 可知,洗碗的过程让作者用心留意周遭景致,越发能够感受自然景色的美好。

By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.
Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend — that is, act like something is real while knowing it’s not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.
To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice. “Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice,” said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.
Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered, and it’ll take more research to understand what their minds are capable of. “Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies,” Bastos said.
8. What was Kanzi asked to do in the first test?
A. To read a playbook. B. To choose a certain cup.
C. To pour imaginary juice. D. To identify graphic symbols.
9. Why did scientists experiment with real juice on Kanzi?
A. To prove Kanzi has emotions.
B. To explore Kanzi’s preference for juice.
C. To confirm Kanzi can tell real from fake.
D. To train Kanzi’s ability to make choices.
10. What does Michael Tomasello probably agree with?
A. Imagination equals pretense.
B. Kanzi represents ape intelligence.
C. Kanzi may not have an imagination.
D. This experiment benefits future studies.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kanzi: A Good Ape Pretender.
B. The Mystery of Ape Imagination Solved.
C. The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed.
D. A Pretend Juice Party: Ape Imagination Tested.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家以假想果汁派对测试猿Kanzi,发现它或能区分真假果汁、具备假装能力,但部分科学家对此存疑,该研究也为后续猿类心智研究开辟了方向。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.( 他们往两个杯子里倒入想象中的果汁,然后假装只喝掉了其中一个。他们让Kanzi选择他想要的杯子,而他有 68% 的时候都会指向那个还装有假果汁的杯子。)”可知,在第一次测试中,Kanzi被要求选择一个特定的杯子。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice.( 为了确保Kanzi不会将真实的果汁与假的果汁混淆,他们还进行了一项使用真实果汁的测试。)”可知,科学家用真实果汁做实验,是为了确认Kanzi能够区分真实与假想的果汁,排除它混淆真假的可能。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.( 但并非所有科学家都相信Kanzi像人类一样在进行假装行为。杜克大学的比较心理学家迈克尔·托马塞洛说:“想象把果汁倒入杯子与维持果汁是真实的这一假象之间是有区别的。要确信这一点,我需要看到Kanzi自己真的假装把水倒入容器里。”托马塞洛在一封电子邮件中写道。)”可知,该科学家并不认可Kanzi具备人类式的假装与想象力,认为现有实验不足以证明,因此他认同“Kanzi 或许没有想象力”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.( 在两岁的时候,大多数孩子就已经会玩角色扮演游戏了。他们会把自己的卧室布置成遥远的城堡,并举办假想的茶会。能够凭空创造出事物这一能力似乎是人类所独有的。而现在,一项实验首次表明,一只生活在人类照料下的猿类也能拥有想象力。)”可知,全文核心是通过假想果汁派对来测试人工饲养的猿Kanzi是否拥有想象力,并呈现了科学界的不同观点,由此可知,这篇文章的最佳标题是“一场假扮的果汁派对:猿类想象力的测试”。故选D项。
D
In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before?
Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution.
In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions.
England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs.
The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all.
12. Which question can paragraph 2 answer?
A. How is AI to affect the work settings?
B. Why has technology replaced human work?
C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution?
D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers?
13. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude?
A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The appearance of spinning and weaving.
C. The indifference of the government. D. The suffering of workers and the society.
14. What lesson can be learned from the text?
A. Every step forward is progress. B. Technology makes the complex simple.
C. History is where you find the future. D. With great power comes great responsibility.
15. What might be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI.
C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章结合工业革命历史及Ricardo的观点,探讨AI对职场的影响,指出需借助合理政策引导AI,避免重蹈历史覆辙。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly.(就像过去的机械织布机等改变世界的工具一样,人工智能将极大地重塑工作场所。)”可知,第二段回答了第一段关于人工智能将如何影响工作环境这一问题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view.(由于工厂几乎没有创造新的就业岗位,失业的织工别无选择,导致工资下降和社会动荡。目睹了这些后果,Ricardo改变了他的观点。)”可知,工人与社会遭受的苦难让Ricardo改变了态度。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.”(历史在今日重演。随着人工智能时代的到来,约翰逊指出,人工智能吸引了大批人才,这与上世纪90年代末的互联网热潮颇为相似,但历史 —— 尤其是工业革命的历史 —— 表明,“新的神奇机器并不能保证为大多数人带来福祉。”)”可知,我们能从历史中找到应对未来的启示。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future.(通过深思熟虑的政策,人工智能可以避免重蹈覆辙,构建一个包容的未来。)”可知,下文最可能谈论引导人工智能发展的具体政策案例。故选B项。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的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。
One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. ____16____ She talked me through a life update from the opposite side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn’t communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do.____17____
But recently, I’ve found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through loneliness.Particularly during a season that’s supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look-specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them. _____18_____There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.
____19____ It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. ____20____ It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.
A. In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D. When we reach out, we can better understand others’ difficulties.
E. Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F. I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages.
G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. B 19. G 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过回忆朋友发来的一条语音信息带来的温暖,反思了语音消息在快节奏、屏幕化的现代沟通中,作为一种真实、人性化连接方式的价值。
【16题详解】
根据上文“One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. (一天清晨,当我漫步在小区里时,手机传来朋友的“hi”声差点让我停下脚步。)”可知,作者提到了手机里朋友发来的“hi”,空格后描述了这个语音消息的内容和感受。C项“It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.(这是我记得我点开的第一个语音消息。)”承接上文,具体说明了这条消息的性质,并引出下文的感受。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do. (当时,我只是偶尔会发送语音消息。我会感到紧张不安。我担心自己会说错话,或者别人听到我的声音时会像我一样感到局促不安。)”提到作者过去很少发语音,因为会有“舞台恐惧”,担心说错话或自己的声音让人尴尬。F项“I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages. (我告诉自己,我更擅长文字表达,并坚持发文字消息。)”解释了作者之前偏爱文字消息的原因,是对上文stage fright和cringe的进一步说明。故选F项。
【18题详解】
空格位于段落开头。下文提到“There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.(这种倾听带来了一种亲近感。)这种closeness是一种慰藉。B项“I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces. (即使我看不到他们的脸,我也能从他们的声音中找到安慰。)”与下文的“亲近感”逻辑一致,且their voices与段落的“语音消息”主题相符。故选B项。
【19题详解】
空格位于段落开头,应为本段主题句。本段“It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”(它让你有时间说话,而无需承受立即得到回应的压力。你可以用笑声、停顿和语气来填充它,这些都是短信无法传达的。这是一种小小的示好之举,是一种表达“我一直在想着你,我想要以一种人性化的形式与你建立联系”的方式。)”主要描述了语音消息允许使用者从容表达、传递文字无法承载的情感,是“一种用人类方式连接”的选择。G项“A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.(语音消息是一种为了体贴、真诚连接而做出的有意选择。)”精准概括了本段主旨。故选G项。
【20题详解】
空格位于文章结尾,应具有总结或升华的作用。上文“In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. (在这个我们大部分交流都迅速、实用且依赖屏幕的世界里,语音消息是一种反抗的表现。它们是一种选择,即保持不加修饰的状态,保持真实,并花时间去关心他人。)”提到语音消息是对快速、工具化沟通的一种“反抗”,是选择不加修饰、真实并愿意为他人花时间。E项“Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.(有时候,连接不必宏伟,也能有意义。)”是对语音消息这种“微小举动”价值的总结,并与最后一句“It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play. (它只是你口袋里的一句朋友的“hi”,等待着你点击播放。)”形成完美呼应。故选E项。

【解析】
【详解】句意:过去几个月里,英语学习方面取得了巨大进步。根据要求可知,原宾语great progress变被动句主语(不可数名词,谓语用单数);原谓语have made变成现在完成时被动has been made;原主语We省略(被动常省略动作发出者);其余部分不变。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
55. 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。
I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must work for academic success. Our principal told us many times about striving for greatness.
But school wasn’t the worst of my troubles; my time at home had the greatest effect on me. Whether it was the glowing reports on my brothers, or even the A’s and B’s on their report cards, I felt I wasn’t as good. That I was inferior.
By fourth grade, my self-confidence had dropped considerably and I became depressed. As I only had a couple of friends, and I wasn’t even sure if they liked me, I had no one to talk to. I would lie awake at night and wonder if my life had some meaning. Weren’t my brothers embarrassed by me? Did they see me as the failure of the family? The black sheep? Tears would soak my pillow.
In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. But the pain from the past six years had caught up with me, and I hated studying. I had had enough failure in my life. Why add more salt to the wound?
One night during my sophomore year, I was working with my math teacher. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My teacher finally had it, and started shouting at me in front of the entire crowd of kids. “How dumb can you be? We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure.” It was the first time that someone had said “You’re a failure” right to my face.
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 stormed out of the room and went back home, throwing myself into my mother’s arms.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My mother’s words cheered me up and I decided to make a new beginning.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I stormed out of the room and went back home, throwing myself into my mother’s arms. Tears streaming down my face, I sobbed out what had happened in the math class and my long-pent-up feelings of being a failure. “Mom, am I really that stupid? Will I always be a failure?” I asked weakly. My mother gently stroked my back and said softly, “My dear, everyone has their own pace and strengths. Just because you find math difficult doesn’t mean you’re a failure. You’re kind-hearted, helpful, and have a lot of other good qualities. Don’t let one teacher’s words define you.” She held me tightly and told me that she believed in me and that I could succeed as long as I didn’t give up.
My mother’s words cheered me up and I decided to make a new beginning. I started to face my studies with a positive attitude. For math, which I was weak in, I asked my teacher for extra help after class and spent more time doing exercises. I also found some learning methods that suited me, such as making study plans and summarizing knowledge points. In the process, I encountered many difficulties, but whenever I wanted to give up, I would think of my mother’s words. Slowly, I began to make progress. My grades in other subjects also improved. More importantly, I regained my self-confidence and realized that I was not a failure. I was just on my own path to growth.

About a year ago, my mother turned on the dishwasher and went to the airport to drop off my father who was headed overseas on a work trip. By the time she got back, there was water all over the kitchen floor. We called a repairman, only to be told the dishwasher would have to be replaced. A new one was ordered but it would not arrive for more than a month. As my mother had a tight schedule, I had no choice but to take on the task of washing dishes by hand after dinner.
I soon found myself faced with a pile of thankless dishes in the sink, urging me to get on with it and deliver on my duty. At the beginning, I was annoyed when doing the dishes. I was in a rush to be done with them since I had an endless list of things to finish as a high school student taking a tough course load. Gradually, I realized that, for about 15 minutes every day, I could slow down time and forget everything in the world as my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success.
We did finally get the new dishwasher placed. However, I continued to wash dishes by hand after dinner, perplexing my mother immensely.
Washing dishes by hand has been more educational than I could have ever imagined. I’m running around stressed most of the day. There are homework assignments, projects, quizzes and tests competing for my attention and time. I’ve caged myself in a prison of my ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.
However, standing at the same spot every day in front of the kitchen window washing dishes has allowed me to recover some of it. My mind has taken snapshots of the changing view over the yard outside the kitchen window and meditated on the passage of time in this sliver of the universe in front of me.
4. Why did the author start washing dishes by hand?
A. The old dishwasher broke down. B. His mother requested him to do so.
C. He attempted to please his father. D. The new dishwasher was over budget.
5. What did the author think of dish-washing initially?
A. It was a stress-reliever. B. It was complicated.
C. It was a money-saver. D. It was burdensome.
6. What does the underlined word “perplexing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Offending. B. Puzzling. C. Discouraging. D. Inspiring.
7. What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?

B. He regretted devoting too much time to study.
C. He decided to abandon some of his ambitions.
D. He desired to move to a house with a larger yard.
C
By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.
Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend — that is, act like something is real while knowing it’s not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.
To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice. “Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice,” said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.
Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered, and it’ll take more research to understand what their minds are capable of. “Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies,” Bastos said.
8. What was Kanzi asked to do in the first test?
A. To read a playbook. B. To choose a certain cup.
C. To pour imaginary juice. D. To identify graphic symbols.
9. Why did scientists experiment with real juice on Kanzi?
A. To prove Kanzi has emotions.
B. To explore Kanzi’s preference for juice.
C. To confirm Kanzi can tell real from fake.
D. To train Kanzi’s ability to make choices.
10. What does Michael Tomasello probably agree with?
A. Imagination equals pretense.
B. Kanzi represents ape intelligence.
C. Kanzi may not have an imagination.
D. This experiment benefits future studies.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kanzi: A Good Ape Pretender.
B. The Mystery of Ape Imagination Solved.
C. The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed.
D. A Pretend Juice Party: Ape Imagination Tested.
D
In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before?
Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution.
In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions.
England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs.
The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all.
12. Which question can paragraph 2 answer?
A. How is AI to affect the work settings?
B. Why has technology replaced human work?
C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution?
D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers?
13. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude?
A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The appearance of spinning and weaving.
C. The indifference of the government. D. The suffering of workers and the society.
14. What lesson can be learned from the text?
A. Every step forward is progress. B. Technology makes the complex simple.
C. History is where you find the future. D. With great power comes great responsibility.
15. What might be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI.
C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology.
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的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。
One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. ____16____ She talked me through a life update from the opposite side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn’t communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do.____17____
But recently, I’ve found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through loneliness.Particularly during a season that’s supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look-specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them. _____18_____There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.
____19____ It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. ____20____ It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.
A. In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D. When we reach out, we can better understand others’ difficulties.
E. Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F. I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages.
G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.

After that, a PET scan showed cancer still ____27____. Then, additional radiotherapy (放射疗法) followed, and as a result, I was ____28____ free of cancer in December.

I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must work for academic success. Our principal told us many times about striving for greatness.
But school wasn’t the worst of my troubles; my time at home had the greatest effect on me. Whether it was the glowing reports on my brothers, or even the A’s and B’s on their report cards, I felt I wasn’t as good. That I was inferior.
By fourth grade, my self-confidence had dropped considerably and I became depressed. As I only had a couple of friends, and I wasn’t even sure if they liked me, I had no one to talk to. I would lie awake at night and wonder if my life had some meaning. Weren’t my brothers embarrassed by me? Did they see me as the failure of the family? The black sheep? Tears would soak my pillow.
In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. But the pain from the past six years had caught up with me, and I hated studying. I had had enough failure in my life. Why add more salt to the wound?
One night during my sophomore year, I was working with my math teacher. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My teacher finally had it, and started shouting at me in front of the entire crowd of kids. “How dumb can you be? We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure.” It was the first time that someone had said “You’re a failure” right to my face.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My mother’s words cheered me up and I decided to make a new beginning.
