Today's episode for you today, I want to be introduce a simple idea that can make studying more effective. Active recall, many students spend hours rereading notes or highlighting textbooks. IT feels productive because the material starts to look familiar, but familiarity is not the same as mastery. Just because you recognize the words on a page doesn't mean you can pull that information out of your brain during a high pressure test, active recall takes a different approach. Instead of passively looking at your notes, you force your self to answer questions from memory. This process is difficult and sometimes frustrating, but that mental struggle is exactly how your brain build stronger connections. Here's a practical method. After class, write five questions based on what you learned the next day. Answer them for a memory. If you get stuck, check your notes briefly, then try again. Remember, don't wait until the night before the exam. Short review session spread over several days, are far more powerful than one long session.

A
You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox (戒断)?
The prosecution (控方): James
My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there.
The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers
While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.
Margo, 29
Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok.
Stewart, 35
As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together.
Peter, 40
The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others.
Steve, 6
Now you be the-judge
In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?
21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok?
A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos.
C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James.
22. Who is fully on Marley’s side?
A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve.
23. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A legal paper. B. A court record.
C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column.
B
— 3 tablespoons butter
— 2 eggs
— 2 medium carrots
— 1 small white onion
— 3 cloves garlic
— 4 cups cooked and chilled rice
I bet you didn’t read those numbers.
I’ll let you in on a secret — I didn’t either.
The ingredients above were copied and pasted from the first online search result for “fried rice recipe”. But, without any disrespect to the recipe’s owner, I can tell you it’s wrong.
The only true fried rice recipe is no recipe at all. There are no measurements, no exact instructions, no timer for how long something should sizzle in the pan. There are only smells and feelings and memories. I learned to cook fried rice on the rickety stool covered in stickers, surrounded by the scents of my Grandma’s apron. We used however much leftover rice we had and a combination of anything and everything sitting in the fridge. The kitchen was always a little messy, but that was part of the fun.
Yet I’ve always been more of a baker than a cook. I enjoy recipes — I enjoy the process of being exact and finding details, adjusting and leveling and weighing. From a young age, I found comfort in the careful baking recipes in Western cookbooks.
But I understand the beauty of spontaneity (即兴) and organic creation. There’s something special in realizing that no two recreations of my grandma’s fried rice will ever be the same, and really, isn’t that what life is? Creation, without recipe?
It’s funny. This may contradict everything I’ve written thus far, but the more I bake, the more I realize perhaps baking is spontaneous too. I don’t always need to weigh my flour beforehand in order to get perfect cookies. My signature food is cupcake, but I challenged myself to use a different recipe every time. You’d be surprised at how different cupcakes taste when you add an extra egg, and you’d be especially uncertain about my baking skills if you tried my cupcakes that had way too much baking soda (trial and error…).
I’m learning to love going with the flow. It’s not mutually exclusive with loving precision, and it’s such an integral part of my culture; I’d be missing out otherwise. Coming to terms with and embracing the unknown is scary, but I assure you: One day, I’ll master my own fried rice.
24. What does the author think of the fried rice recipe?
A. It provides inaccurate details. B. It includes too many ingredients.
C. It misses the essence of cooking. D. It contradicts the basics of cuisine.
25. The author enjoys baking because of ______.
A. her hope to pass recipes on B. her love of precision and detail
C. her interest in a different culture D. her desire to honour family traditions
26. The author’s cupcake experiments made her more ______.
A. open-minded B. organized C. confident D. clear-headed
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Fond memories make a dish tasty. B. Precision and creativity are inseparable.
C. Creativity prospers where rules end. D. Life doesn’t always come with a recipe.
C
Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time-travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles (类似) Doctor Who. And if you ask OpenAI's technology to do the same, a similar thing happens. What’s wrong with that, you may think? The answer could be one of the biggest issues AI chiefs face as their era-defining technology becomes ever more widespread in our lives.
Google and OpenAI’s generative artificial intelligence is supposed to be just that — generative, meaning it develops novel answers to our questions. But how much of that output is original? The problem is working out how much AI tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else's art to come up with their own inventions. One firm, however, claims to be able to shine a light on the issue.
TraceID by Vermillio can detect the percentage to which AI-generated content is based on copyrighted (有版权的) materials. One of the platform’s abilities is to create neural fingerprints for brands, characters or other IP. These fingerprints act as digital identifiers that map the unique characteristics of a given piece of content. By comparing this-fingerprint against AI-generated content, it can determine how much the new content overlaps (重合) with the original, offering a percentage-based match.
The research showcases this process in action, using well-known films such as Doctor Who and James Bond as case studies. The findings? Sora matched up to 62% with James Bond fingerprint, Google’s Veo 3 matched 80% to Doctor Who fingerprint, implying that they have leaned heavily on copyright-protected work to produce its output.
Many creative professionals demand payment and an end to unauthorized use of their work until permissions are granted. They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations that hurt their industries.
Kathleen Grace head of Vermillio, said: “We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content. This would encourage copyright holders to release more data to AI companies and would give AI companies access to more interesting sets of data. Instead of giving all the money to AI companies, there would be this amazing ecosystem.”

Army ants are commonly found in Africa, South America, and Central America. They are known for being a massive army that can build a new path out of themselves when encountering obstacles.
Scientists from Princeton University study the “living” bridges allowing the ant colony (蚁群) to travel efficiently. They focus on the collective intelligence exhibited by the species and how this behavior can help develop robots that can cooperate as a group.
When army ants encounter obstacles such as a gap between leaves or branches, they will connect themselves across that gap while others walk on top of them. However, building the living bridges comes at a cost to the ant colony because the ants that take part in supporting the bridge are not available to hunt.
Using their tiny brains, the ants can weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge. In studying the decision-making ability of the ants, the researchers discovered that the ants build bridges where they get the most significant benefit for the least amount of bodies. They identified a sweet spot where the gap is large enough to justify building a bridge but not so large that it will take too many ants.
The collective intelligence of army ants demonstrates how individual-level interactions can produce coordinated (协调的) group behavior. By extracting the rules used by individual army ants in building living bridges, engineers can program a group of simple robots to create structures that are connected. Such systems can exhibit the beneficial properties observed in ant bridges, like real-time optimization (最优化) of position and shape, adaptability to local conditions, and rapid construction and deconstruction without needing external building materials.
For a long time, it has been a challenge in robotics to take robot parts and allow the robot to piece itself together and solve more significant problems. According to engineering professor David Hu from the Georgia Institute of Technology, army ants are proof that such a kind of robot can survive and have problems to solve in the real world.
32. Why do scientists study the behavior of army ants?
A. The ants often take collective action.
B. It brings insights for building robots.
C. It is different from that of other animals.
D. The ants travel more efficiently than humans.
33. What can we infer about army ants from paragraph 4?
A. They can weigh what they get. B. They form a bridge over any gap.
C. They are cooperative creatures. D. They often share their decisions.
34. What is a distinct feature of the ant bridge?
A. Low stability. B. Single structure.
C. Strong dependence. D. High adaptability.
35. What is the challenge that robots face according to the text?
A. Working side by side with humans.
B. Working in an unpredictable environment.
C. Developing autonomous integrating ability.
D. Increasing the flexibility of robotic arms.
第二节(共5小题:每小题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。
Human history could be told as the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses (镜片) into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped being passive. ____36____
As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the infinitesimal cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the universe. ____37____ To see was to know; To measure was to exist. Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are.
____38____ The internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze (注视) turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant. ____39____ The system extends from the depths of space to the finest details of a face.
And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. ____40____
The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look.
A. Seeing is no longer believing.
B. We no longer merely looked — we searched.
C. The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy.
D. The ultimate horizon of observation is out there among the stars.
E. The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity.
F. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous.
G. The telescope’s lens and the smartphone’s camera are now part of the same global system of seeing.

When we don’t meet that standard, the joy fades, replaced by feelings of inadequacy.
For me, writing has been the one hobby I’ve regularly returned to, ___49___ moments of self-doubt. I’ve taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement, but the constant ___50___ for perfection turns writing from a ___51___ into a chore. I’ve come to realize that this mindset ___52___ me of the joy I once found in it.
We need to recognize that it’s___53___ not to be great at something. Perfection is often ___54___, and more often than not, we are our toughest critics. The challenge, then, is finding balance between enjoyment and ___55___. Embrace imperfection, and enjoy the process, even if you’re not “great” at it.

67. 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。
To me, my older sister Serena was simply the person who always occupied the bathroom when I needed it most. Three years older than me, she seemed to live in a different world — one filled with college plans, long nights of study, and an appearance of calm confidence that made adults trust her without question. At home, however, she was ordinary. She left her half-empty cup on the counter and took away my things without permission. So annoyed was I that I kept my distance.
I only knew that she worked evenings at a youth center downtown. Yet Serena rarely mentioned volunteer hours or shared stories. She would come home late, drop her bag by the stairs, and disappear upstairs before I had time to wonder what her days were really like.
Then one spring evening, a storm swept through our town. Wind beat against the windows. Rain rushed down the streets, turning the gutters (排水沟) into narrow rivers. The power went out before dinner, and the kitchen fell into darkness, lit only by a small battery-powered lamp on the counter. Shadows jumped along the walls as Serena paced back and forth, checking her phone again and again. Messages from the youth center kept coming. The basement was flooding. Families poured into the center, carrying bags and restless children, and there simply weren’t enough volunteers to help them all.
Without hesitation, Serena simply pulled on her jacket and reached for the door, as if this decision had already been made somewhere deep inside her. My own worries — my grades, missed deadlines, ranking lists — suddenly felt thin and unreal, like pieces of paper left out in the rain. Before I could stop myself, I stood up and followed her to the door. Serena hesitated for a moment, then nodded, relief quietly settling over her face. We got into the car, and she drove slowly through the flooded streets until the youth center appeared ahead, a small brick building lit up against the darkness.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Upon reaching the center, Serena showed me what to do.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When we left late that night, something inside me had quietly changed.

【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our special feature on a meaningful event hosted by the charity organization Save Our Street Dogs, or SOSD. On March 2nd, SOSD will hold its annual fundraising and adoption event in Urban Park. This combined event aims to raise funds for a new care center while also helping more street dogs find loving homes. The funds raised are crucial for the construction of the SOSD Care Center, a major step to accommodate more dogs in need. At present, SOSD cares for 160 dogs at its shelters and also feeds 70 homeless dogs wandering around on Jurong Island. During the event, visitors can meet several dogs seeking forever homes. These include Odin, recently rescued from an abandoned factory and now recovering from an eye injury; Caleb, a loving dog who was left behind after his owner moved away; and Tami, a fun companion rescued from a forest, who had surgery after suffering a severe leg injury. These three are just a few of the furry friends waiting for adopters. On‑the‑spot volunteer registration will also be available on March 2nd. This is a great chance to support a worthy cause, so why not take part in the event on March 2nd and help a dog find its forever home?

第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox (戒断)?
The prosecution (控方): James
My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there.
The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers
While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.
Margo, 29
Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok.
Stewart, 35
As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together.
Peter, 40
The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others.
Steve, 6
Now you be the-judge
In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?
21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok?
A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos.
C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James.
22. Who is fully on Marley’s side?
A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve.
23. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A legal paper. B. A court record.
C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了Marley对社交媒体的沉迷是否需要戒断,展现了两位朋友的观点及读者的看法。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online.(我的工作意味着我必须时刻关注网上的流行趋势)”可知,Marley花时间在抖音上的原因是她需要了解最新的网络趋势。故选C。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据Margo, 29部分“While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.(虽然Marley对TikTok的使用对某些人来说似乎有些过度,但最终还是取决于她选择如何利用自己的时间。如果詹姆斯不能接受,他应该搬出去)”可知,只有Margo全力支持Marley。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?(在我们的读者反馈部分,告诉我们:Marley应该离开TikTok,开始自己的生活吗?)”可知,这篇文章最有可能来自互动专栏。故选D。
B
— 3 tablespoons butter
— 2 eggs
— 2 medium carrots
— 1 small white onion
— 3 cloves garlic
— 4 cups cooked and chilled rice
I bet you didn’t read those numbers.
I’ll let you in on a secret — I didn’t either.
The ingredients above were copied and pasted from the first online search result for “fried rice recipe”. But, without any disrespect to the recipe’s owner, I can tell you it’s wrong.
The only true fried rice recipe is no recipe at all. There are no measurements, no exact instructions, no timer for how long something should sizzle in the pan. There are only smells and feelings and memories. I learned to cook fried rice on the rickety stool covered in stickers, surrounded by the scents of my Grandma’s apron. We used however much leftover rice we had and a combination of anything and everything sitting in the fridge. The kitchen was always a little messy, but that was part of the fun.
Yet I’ve always been more of a baker than a cook. I enjoy recipes — I enjoy the process of being exact and finding details, adjusting and leveling and weighing. From a young age, I found comfort in the careful baking recipes in Western cookbooks.
But I understand the beauty of spontaneity (即兴) and organic creation. There’s something special in realizing that no two recreations of my grandma’s fried rice will ever be the same, and really, isn’t that what life is? Creation, without recipe?
It’s funny. This may contradict everything I’ve written thus far, but the more I bake, the more I realize perhaps baking is spontaneous too. I don’t always need to weigh my flour beforehand in order to get perfect cookies. My signature food is cupcake, but I challenged myself to use a different recipe every time. You’d be surprised at how different cupcakes taste when you add an extra egg, and you’d be especially uncertain about my baking skills if you tried my cupcakes that had way too much baking soda (trial and error…).
I’m learning to love going with the flow. It’s not mutually exclusive with loving precision, and it’s such an integral part of my culture; I’d be missing out otherwise. Coming to terms with and embracing the unknown is scary, but I assure you: One day, I’ll master my own fried rice.
24. What does the author think of the fried rice recipe?
A. It provides inaccurate details. B. It includes too many ingredients.
C. It misses the essence of cooking. D. It contradicts the basics of cuisine.
25. The author enjoys baking because of ______.
A. her hope to pass recipes on B. her love of precision and detail
C. her interest in a different culture D. her desire to honour family traditions
26. The author’s cupcake experiments made her more ______.
A. open-minded B. organized C. confident D. clear-headed
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Fond memories make a dish tasty. B. Precision and creativity are inseparable.
C. Creativity prospers where rules end. D. Life doesn’t always come with a recipe.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者认为炒饭无固定食谱,靠感觉与回忆制作。她偏爱烘焙的精准,也逐渐接受即兴创作,明白精准与随性可共存,生活本就没有固定配方。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The only true fried rice recipe is no recipe at all. There are no measurements, no exact instructions, no timer for how long something should sizzle in the pan. There are only smells and feelings and memories.(唯一正宗的炒饭做法其实根本就没有固定的步骤。没有具体的用量,没有精确的步骤说明,也没有关于食材在锅中翻炒时间的计时器。有的只是各种气味、感受和回忆)”可知,作者认为这份炒饭的食谱忽略了烹饪的精髓所在。故选C。
【25题详解】

Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time-travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles (类似) Doctor Who. And if you ask OpenAI's technology to do the same, a similar thing happens. What’s wrong with that, you may think? The answer could be one of the biggest issues AI chiefs face as their era-defining technology becomes ever more widespread in our lives.
Google and OpenAI’s generative artificial intelligence is supposed to be just that — generative, meaning it develops novel answers to our questions. But how much of that output is original? The problem is working out how much AI tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else's art to come up with their own inventions. One firm, however, claims to be able to shine a light on the issue.
TraceID by Vermillio can detect the percentage to which AI-generated content is based on copyrighted (有版权的) materials. One of the platform’s abilities is to create neural fingerprints for brands, characters or other IP. These fingerprints act as digital identifiers that map the unique characteristics of a given piece of content. By comparing this-fingerprint against AI-generated content, it can determine how much the new content overlaps (重合) with the original, offering a percentage-based match.
The research showcases this process in action, using well-known films such as Doctor Who and James Bond as case studies. The findings? Sora matched up to 62% with James Bond fingerprint, Google’s Veo 3 matched 80% to Doctor Who fingerprint, implying that they have leaned heavily on copyright-protected work to produce its output.
Many creative professionals demand payment and an end to unauthorized use of their work until permissions are granted. They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations that hurt their industries.
Kathleen Grace head of Vermillio, said: “We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content. This would encourage copyright holders to release more data to AI companies and would give AI companies access to more interesting sets of data. Instead of giving all the money to AI companies, there would be this amazing ecosystem.”
28. What issue is presented at the beginning of the passage?
A. Generative AI reinvents film production.
B. The capabilities of generative AI are expanding.
C. Generative AI is becoming increasingly widespread.
D. Copyrighted materials are used in AI-generated content.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How TraceID works. B. Who uses TraceID.
C. Why TraceID is developed. D. Where TraceID is used.
30. What does the underline word “remuneration” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Delay. B. Reminder. C. Pay. D. Warning.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Popularity of AI Video Generating Tools

【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述生成式 AI 创作常借用版权内容,一款名为 TraceID 的工具可检测内容版权重合度,业内也提出方案,希望搭建合理的内容共享与收益生态。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time-travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles Doctor Who.(让谷歌的人工智能视频工具创作一部影片,主角是乘着英国蓝色电话亭穿梭时空的博士,结果不出所料,成品和《神秘博士》十分相似。)”以及第二段“But how much of that output is original? The problem is working out how much AI tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else’s art to come up with their own inventions.(但这些产出内容有多少是原创的?问题在于,Sora 2、Veo 3这类人工智能工具在创作时,究竟借鉴了多少他人的原创作品。)”可知,文章开篇提出的问题是人工智能生成内容使用了受版权保护的素材。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“TraceID by Vermillio can detect the percentage to which AI-generated content is based on copyrighted (有版权的) materials. One of the platform’s abilities is to create neural fingerprints for brands, characters or other IP. These fingerprints act as digital identifiers that map the unique characteristics of a given piece of content. By comparing this-fingerprint against AI-generated content, it can determine how much the new content overlaps (重合) with the original, offering a percentage-based match.(Vermillio公司推出的追踪识别系统(TraceID) 能够检测出 AI生成内容中引用受版权保护素材的占比。该平台的一项核心功能是为品牌、角色及其他知识产权(IP)生成神经网络指纹。这类指纹属于数字标识,可记录特定内容独有的特征信息。系统将该指纹与AI生成内容进行比对后,便能判定新内容与原作的重合程度,并输出具体的相似度占比数据。)”可知,第三段主要介绍TraceI 这款工具的工作原理。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“Many creative professionals demand payment and an end to unauthorized use of their work until permissions are granted. They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations that hurt their industries.(许多创意从业者要求获得报酬,禁止他人未经许可使用自己的作品。他们认为人工智能工具借用他们的作品却不支付remuneration,产出同类作品冲击了自身行业。)”可知,这里remuneration与前文payment同义,意为“报酬、酬劳”。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第二段“The problem is working out how much AI tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else’s art to come up with their own inventions.(问题在于人工智能工具创作时过度依赖他人受版权保护的作品。)”以及第六段“We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content.(只要我们稍作停顿、想出内容共享与溯源的办法,就能实现多方共赢。)”可知,全文围绕人工智能依赖版权作品这一问题展开,并介绍了对应的检测手段与解决思路。所以B项“AI’s Reliance on Copyrighted Works and Its Solution(人工智能对版权作品的依赖及其解决对策)”符合语境。
D
Army ants are commonly found in Africa, South America, and Central America. They are known for being a massive army that can build a new path out of themselves when encountering obstacles.
Scientists from Princeton University study the “living” bridges allowing the ant colony (蚁群) to travel efficiently. They focus on the collective intelligence exhibited by the species and how this behavior can help develop robots that can cooperate as a group.
When army ants encounter obstacles such as a gap between leaves or branches, they will connect themselves across that gap while others walk on top of them. However, building the living bridges comes at a cost to the ant colony because the ants that take part in supporting the bridge are not available to hunt.
Using their tiny brains, the ants can weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge. In studying the decision-making ability of the ants, the researchers discovered that the ants build bridges where they get the most significant benefit for the least amount of bodies. They identified a sweet spot where the gap is large enough to justify building a bridge but not so large that it will take too many ants.
The collective intelligence of army ants demonstrates how individual-level interactions can produce coordinated (协调的) group behavior. By extracting the rules used by individual army ants in building living bridges, engineers can program a group of simple robots to create structures that are connected. Such systems can exhibit the beneficial properties observed in ant bridges, like real-time optimization (最优化) of position and shape, adaptability to local conditions, and rapid construction and deconstruction without needing external building materials.
For a long time, it has been a challenge in robotics to take robot parts and allow the robot to piece itself together and solve more significant problems. According to engineering professor David Hu from the Georgia Institute of Technology, army ants are proof that such a kind of robot can survive and have problems to solve in the real world.
32. Why do scientists study the behavior of army ants?
A. The ants often take collective action.
B. It brings insights for building robots.
C. It is different from that of other animals.
D. The ants travel more efficiently than humans.
33. What can we infer about army ants from paragraph 4?
A. They can weigh what they get. B. They form a bridge over any gap.
C. They are cooperative creatures. D. They often share their decisions.
34. What is a distinct feature of the ant bridge?
A. Low stability. B. Single structure.
C. Strong dependence. D. High adaptability.
35. What is the challenge that robots face according to the text?
A. Working side by side with humans.
B. Working in an unpredictable environment.
C. Developing autonomous integrating ability.
D. Increasing the flexibility of robotic arms.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍行军蚁搭建活体桥的行为、决策智慧,以及该特性对机器人研发带来的启发。

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Using their tiny brains, the ants can weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge. In studying the decision-making ability of the ants, the researchers discovered that the ants build bridges where they get the most significant benefit for the least amount of bodies.(蚂蚁依靠小小的大脑,能够权衡搭建桥梁的成本与收益。在研究蚂蚁的决策能力时,研究人员发现,蚂蚁会选择以最少数量的同伴搭建桥梁,从而获取最大收益的位置。)”可知,行军蚁能够权衡得失、判断利弊。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Such systems can exhibit the beneficial properties observed in ant bridges, like real-time optimization (最优化) of position and shape, adaptability to local conditions, and rapid construction and deconstruction without needing external building materials.(这类系统能够具备蚂蚁桥梁的优良特性,例如位置和形态的实时优化、适应周边环境,以及无需外部建材就能快速搭建和拆解。)”可知,蚁桥具备环境适应性强这一显著特点。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“For a long time, it has been a challenge in robotics to take robot parts and allow the robot to piece itself together and solve more significant problems.(长期以来,机器人领域面临一项难题:让机器人组件自行组合拼接,进而解决更复杂的问题。)”可知,机器人面临的难题是培养自主组装整合的能力。
第二节(共5小题:每小题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。
Human history could be told as the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses (镜片) into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped being passive. ____36____
As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the infinitesimal cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the universe. ____37____ To see was to know; To measure was to exist. Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are.
____38____ The internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze (注视) turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant. ____39____ The system extends from the depths of space to the finest details of a face.
And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. ____40____
The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look.
A. Seeing is no longer believing.
B. We no longer merely looked — we searched.
C. The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy.
D. The ultimate horizon of observation is out there among the stars.
E. The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity.
F. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous.
G. The telescope’s lens and the smartphone’s camera are now part of the same global system of seeing.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Jack,
How are you? I’m writing to discuss the preparation for the Poetry Contest next month.
I recommend Li Bai’s Thoughts on a Quiet Night for our performance. There are two reasons. Firstly, it’s short and easy to memorize, which suits you as a beginner. Secondly, its simple yet profound language vividly conveys deep homesickness, making it a timeless classic.
As for practice time, how about every Monday and Friday afternoon after school in our classroom? Is that OK for you? I believe we can do well with enough practice. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
To me, my older sister Serena was simply the person who always occupied the bathroom when I needed it most. Three years older than me, she seemed to live in a different world — one filled with college plans, long nights of study, and an appearance of calm confidence that made adults trust her without question. At home, however, she was ordinary. She left her half-empty cup on the counter and took away my things without permission. So annoyed was I that I kept my distance.
I only knew that she worked evenings at a youth center downtown. Yet Serena rarely mentioned volunteer hours or shared stories. She would come home late, drop her bag by the stairs, and disappear upstairs before I had time to wonder what her days were really like.
Then one spring evening, a storm swept through our town. Wind beat against the windows. Rain rushed down the streets, turning the gutters (排水沟) into narrow rivers. The power went out before dinner, and the kitchen fell into darkness, lit only by a small battery-powered lamp on the counter. Shadows jumped along the walls as Serena paced back and forth, checking her phone again and again. Messages from the youth center kept coming. The basement was flooding. Families poured into the center, carrying bags and restless children, and there simply weren’t enough volunteers to help them all.
Without hesitation, Serena simply pulled on her jacket and reached for the door, as if this decision had already been made somewhere deep inside her. My own worries — my grades, missed deadlines, ranking lists — suddenly felt thin and unreal, like pieces of paper left out in the rain. Before I could stop myself, I stood up and followed her to the door. Serena hesitated for a moment, then nodded, relief quietly settling over her face. We got into the car, and she drove slowly through the flooded streets until the youth center appeared ahead, a small brick building lit up against the darkness.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Upon reaching the center, Serena showed me what to do.

When we left late that night, something inside me had quietly changed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Upon reaching the center, Serena showed me what to do. She guided me to help distribute blankets and food to the families who had sought refuge there. As I handed out supplies, I saw the gratitude in their eyes, and it filled me with a sense of purpose. Serena moved gracefully through the chaos, her calm confidence inspiring those around her. I realized that this was her world, a place where she made a real difference.
When we left late that night, something inside me had quietly changed. The annoyance and distance I had felt towards Serena were replaced by admiration and understanding. I saw her in a new light, not just as my older sister but as a compassionate and dedicated individual. As we drove home through the still-rainy streets, I knew that I wanted to be more like her, to find my own way to make a positive impact on the world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者对姐姐Serena的态度从厌烦、疏远到敬佩、理解的转变,通过一次暴风雨中跟随姐姐去青年中心帮忙的经历,看到姐姐的热情与奉献,进而改变对姐姐的看法、树立自身成长方向的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“到中心,Serena就告诉我该怎么做”可知,第一段可描写到达青年中心后,Serena指导作者分发物资,让作者在帮忙中感受到价值,同时观察到Serena在混乱中的从容与影响力,初步改变对姐姐的认知。
②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上我们很晚才离开,我的内心悄悄发生了变化。”可知,第二段可描写返程时作者内心的具体转变,不再厌烦姐姐,而是充满敬佩与理解,同时表达向姐姐学习、想要传递温暖的想法,升华人物情感与文章主旨。
2.续写线索:到达青年中心——姐姐指导作者分发物资——看到姐姐的另一面——内心发生变化——重新认识姐姐——决心向姐姐学习。
