Born in Panama, Millender grew up in a racially (种族地) diverse family and community. Her mother was Afro-Latina Panamanian, and her father was indigenous (本地的) Guna Panamanian. When Millender was 12, she arrived in Brooklyn with her mother, hoping to bring her a better life. They experienced poverty, and Millender saw the access and quality of health care people received. “My mother didn’t speak English, and when she tried to get care, people ignored her,” she says. Then she moved to Florida as a teenager and joined the army after high school, which allowed her to earn her undergraduate and master’s degrees in nursing. Working in emergency departments, which often cared for the uninsured, she saw families struggling with the same challenges her mother had. “You know they don’t have the resources to take care of their loved ones once they leave the hospital, or they don’t understand what the doctors and nurses are telling them because they speak a different language or an indigenous language,” she says. Now as a professor at Florida State University College of Nursing, Millender co-founded an institute (机构) and serves as its co-director. The institute focuses on addressing the causes of health unfairness — from language and cultural barriers (障碍) to mental-health challenges. Drawing on her own experiences, she spends time learning from communities about their needs and the difficulties they face. That includes incorporating, rather than ignoring, cultural beliefs, and community-based programmes that connect people with health care, often for the first time. Recently, Millender has seen her work come full circle with programmes she has started in her native Panama to improve health care for indigenous people. “I feel very lucky, so I have to give back,” she says. 4. What inspired Millender to become a nurse? A. Her childhood experiences. B. Her parents’ expectations. C. Her love for science and medicine. D. Her desire to get out of poverty. 5. What challenge did Millender’s mother face in accessing health care? A. The language barrier. B. The unstable job. C. The lack of personal insurance. D. The lack of family companionship. 6. Which word best describes Millender? A. Honest. B. Determined. C. Strict. D. Quiet. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Hard Life of Newcomers in America B. Ways to Overcome Language Barriers in Hospitals C. A Successful Professor in American Medical Colleges D. A Nurse Working to Break Health Unfairness 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述护士米伦德致力消除医疗不公的历程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Becoming a nurse was practically a natural choice for little Eugenia Millender, who began her years of health service by helping her grandmother, who didn’t like needles, with her injections (注射).(对于小尤金妮亚·米伦德来说，成为一名护士几乎是一个自然而然的选择，她从帮助不喜欢打针的祖母注射开始了自己多年的医疗服务生涯。)”可知，童年时期经历激发了她成为护士的愿望。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““My mother didn’t speak English, and when she tried to get care, people ignored her,” she says.(她说：“我母亲不会说英语，当她试图就医时，人们都无视她。”)”可知，米伦德的母亲在美国就医时面临的主要障碍是语言不通。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“When Millender was 12, she arrived in Brooklyn with her mother, hoping to bring her a better life. They experienced poverty, and Millender saw the access and quality of health care people received.(12岁时，米伦德随母亲来到布鲁克林，希望能给她更好的生活。她们经历了贫困，米伦德也看到了人们所能获得的医疗服务在可及性和质量上的差距。)”第四段“Now as a professor at Florida State University College of Nursing, Millender co-founded an institute (机构) and serves as its co-director. The institute focuses on addressing the causes of health unfairness — from language and cultural barriers (障碍) to mental-health challenges. Drawing on her own experiences, she spends time learning from communities about their needs and the difficulties they face. That includes incorporating, rather than ignoring, cultural beliefs, and community-based programmes that connect people with health care, often for the first time.(如今，作为佛罗里达州立大学护理学院的教授，米伦德联合创办了一家研究机构并担任联合主任。该机构致力于解决健康不公平的根源问题——从语言和文化障碍到心理健康挑战。凭借自身经历，她花时间深入社区了解他们的需求和面临的困难。这包括将文化信仰纳入考量而非忽视，以及开展社区项目帮助人们获得医疗服务，其中许多人是第一次获得这样的机会。)”可知，米伦德克服贫困和语言障碍，坚持求学并最终致力于解决医疗不公，体现了她坚定的意志。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第四段中“The institute focuses on addressing the causes of health unfairness — from language and cultural barriers to mental-health challenges.(该机构致力于解决健康不公平的根源问题——从语言和文化障碍到心理健康挑战。)”可知，文章主要讲述了米伦德从一名小护士成长为护理学教授，并创办机构致力于打破医疗不公的故事。“A Nurse Working to Break Health Unfairness(一位致力于打破健康不公平的护士)”符合题意。 C Most people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We become bored when there is little variety. However, there’s one place where we tend to dislike variety, and that’s in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share. There are reasons for this. When we meet new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure. This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but it’s important to the survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were the same, for example, and their environment changed in some significant, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease in water, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight (洞察力) into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and it’s known as population thinking. The idea of “survival of the fittest” shows that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a requisite for natural selection to work. Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding, but it’s a good investment (投资), sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who are different from you, treat your discomfort as a signal to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold that the other person should be silenced. Finally, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations. 8. Which of the following might make people feel uncomfortable? A. Socializing with people from different cultures. B. Sharing travelling experiences with others. C. Taking a trip to a foreign country. D. Having an adventure in the wild. 9. Why can new and different things make people feel unsettling and unpleasant? A. They require more physical efforts. B. They need more resources for nerve cells. C. They are often harmful to people’s health. D. They put pressure on people’s nervous system. 10. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “requisite” in Paragraph 3? A. Replacement. B. Challenge. C. Requirement. D. Drive. 11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A. Why we should get along with people different from us. B. How we should treat the differences we find in others. C. How we can benefit from seeking variation. D. Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍人们反感人际差异的原因，并阐述多样性的重要意义与相处建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.(我们常常会对习惯不同、或是持有与我们不一样的信念和价值观的人感到不适。)”可知，和有着不同文化背景的人交往，会让人产生不适感。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we meet new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant.(当我们遇到新的、不同的事物时，大脑会比平时更努力地工作。在学习过程中，我们的神经细胞需要更多的资源，比如水、盐和各种其他化学物质。这种额外的新陈代谢活动会让人感到不安和不愉快。)”可知，新鲜不同的事物需要神经细胞消耗更多资源，从而让人感到不安和不适。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The idea of “survival of the fittest” shows that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a requisite for natural selection to work.(“适者生存”的理念表明，个体必须存在差异。有些个体比其他个体更适合特定的环境，这使它们更容易生存、成长和繁殖。因此，变异是自然选择发挥作用的requisite。)”可知，个体差异是自然选择能够生效的必要条件。requisite意为“必需品，必要条件”，requirement与其同义。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding, but it’s a good investment (投资), sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who are different from you, treat your discomfort as a signal to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold that the other person should be silenced. Finally, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations.(应对人类的巨大多样性可能很费力，但这是一项很好的投资，有点像给大脑做锻炼。当你遇到与你不同的人时，把你的不适当作一种信号，去好奇和学习，而不是当作问题的信号。不要认为对方应该被噤声。最终，这种心态能让你在应对挑战时更加灵活。)”可知，本段主要想讲述我们应当如何看待和对待他人身上的差异。 D Using AI to help write a message to a friend is not a good idea — at least if your friend finds out about the use of AI, a new study suggests. Researchers found that people in the study believed that a friend who used AI to write them a message didn’t put in as much effort as a friend who wrote a message themselves. That may be understandable, but the effect goes beyond the message itself, said Bingjie Liu, lead author of the study. “After they get an AI message, our participants (参与者) feel less satisfied with their relationship with their friend and feel more uncertain about where they stand,” Liu said. But to be fair to AI, it wasn’t just the use of technology that turned people off. “People want their partners or friends to make an effort to come up with their own message without help from AI or other people,” Liu said. “People want to know how much you want to invest in your friendship and if they feel you are cutting corners by using AI to help, that’s not good,” Liu explained. Of course, most people won’t tell a friend that they used AI to help write a message, Liu said. But she noted that as ChatGPT becomes more popular, people may start doing a Turing Test in their minds as they read messages from friends and others. Turing Test is sometimes used to refer to people wondering if they can tell whether an action was taken by a computer or a person. “It could be that people will secretly do this Turing Test in their minds, trying to figure out if messages have some AI component (成分),” Liu said. “It may hurt relationships.” The answer is to do your own work in relationships, she said. “Don’t use technology just because it is convenient. Sincerity still matters a lot in relationships.” 12. How did people in the study feel about receiving an AI message from their friend? A. Thankful. B. Surprised. C. Dissatisfied. D. Embarrassed. 13. Why do people prefer that friends write messages themselves instead of using AI? A. AI messages often have many mistakes. B. People believe AI lacks emotional depth. C. Friends who use AI are considered dishonest. D. People want to see the effort invested in the friendship. 14. What’s the purpose of starting a Turing Test according to Liu? A. To judge the level of ChatGPT. B. To see if AI has been used in a message. C. To test the sincerity of an online friend. D. To learn how to communicate with AI. 15. What is Liu’s suggestion? A. Believing in the development of technology. B. Paying attention to real-world friends. C. Being actively honest in relationships. D. Thinking twice before making a convenient choice. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一项新研究：用人工智能代写朋友消息会降低对方对友谊的满意度、破坏人际关系，研究者解释背后原因并建议人际交往应依靠自身真诚付出，不要单纯贪图便利使用AI。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After they get an AI message, our participants (参与者) feel less satisfied with their relationship with their friend and feel more uncertain about where they stand(参与者收到AI生成的消息后，会对自己和朋友的关系感到更不满意，也对彼此的关系定位更加迷茫) ”可知，收到朋友AI代写消息的人会感到不满。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““People want to know how much you want to invest in your friendship and if they feel you are cutting corners by using AI to help, that’s not good,” Liu explained.(Liu解释道：“人们想知道你愿意为这段友谊投入多少心血，如果他们觉得你借助人工智能敷衍了事，那就会让人心里不舒服。”)”可知，人们更喜欢朋友自己写信息，而不是使用人工智能，因为人们希望看到对方在友谊中付出的努力。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Turing Test is sometimes used to refer to people wondering if they can tell whether an action was taken by a computer or a person.(图灵测试在这里指人们分辨一段内容是电脑还是人写出来的)”以及第六段“It could be that people will secretly do this Turing Test in their minds, trying to figure out if messages have some AI component (成分)(人们会在心里悄悄进行这种图灵测试，试图判断消息里是否有人工智能参与创作的成分)”可知，人们做心里的图灵测试是为了分辨消息是否使用了AI。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Don’t use technology just because it is convenient. Sincerity still matters a lot in relationships.”(“不要仅仅因为方便就使用科技，真诚在人际关系中依然十分重要。”)”可知，研究者建议人们在交往中保持真诚、脚踏实地用心对待关系。 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。 We can all relate to being criticized (批评) and then feeling terrible. There is not a single one of us who feels happy from being criticized. ____16____ Next time you are communicating with someone who is criticizing you, here are some ways to try. Stay calm. I know that your heart may be beating rapidly and your palms (手心) may become sweaty but you must breathe deeply and appear calm. ____17____ You will get to the next several steps only if you can achieve it.

It is only when you have heard the person out that you can think about what they have said. Take a moment to prepare your response. Buy yourself some time. Tell the person who has just criticized you that you need time to think about what they have said. If the person offering the criticism to you is important to you and you are not sure how to respond, then give yourself some time. Tell them that you will get back to them because you need 24 hours to think about this. ____19____ Don’t we? ____20____ Think about whether there are any positive messages in the communication. Perhaps the person who is telling the thoughts cares so deeply about you that they truly want you to be the best kind of yourself. Keep in mind that there may be something good going on here and try to find what that may be and see what you can learn. A. Think positively. B. Find out the purpose. C. If you don’t, you will just make things worse. D. Staying calm is always better than getting upset. E. This gives you something to work with and think about. F. But we can learn to deal with criticism effectively with the right way. G. This is very helpful because we often feel differently about communication later on. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了应对他人批评的四种可行方法：保持冷静、耐心倾听、给自己预留思考缓冲时间、积极解读批评的内涵，教会人们理性从容面对批评。 【16题详解】 上文“There is not a single one of us who feels happy from being criticized.(没有人会因为被批评而感到开心。)”点明被批评是负面感受，选项F“But we can learn to deal with criticism effectively with the right way.(但我们可以掌握正确方法，学会高效应对批评。)”转折过渡，引出下文“Next time you are communicating with someone who is criticizing you, here are some ways to try.(下次当你与批评你的人交流时，可以尝试以下几种方式。)”应对批评的具体方法。 【17题详解】 上文“I know that your heart may be beating rapidly and your palms (手心) may become sweaty but you must breathe deeply and appear calm.(我知道你的心跳可能很快，手掌可能会出汗，但你必须深呼吸，表现镇定。)”点明要强迫自己保持冷静，后文“You will get to the next several steps only if you can achieve it.(只有你能够做到镇定，才能进入接下来的几个步骤。)”说明镇定是所有应对方法的基础。选项D“Staying calm is always better than getting upset.(保持镇定永远比心烦意乱更好。)”承接上文做法，呼应后文冷静的重要性。 【18题详解】 上文“Before you start responding, let the person finish saying what they need to say.(开口回应前，先让对方把话说完。)”提出完整倾听的要求，后文“Remain quiet until you finish listening.(全程保持安静，听完对方完整表述。)”强调不要打断对方。选项C“If you don’t, you will just make things worse.(如果你不这样做，只会让事态恶化。)”反面论证完整倾听的必要性，衔接前后文逻辑闭环。 【19题详解】 上文“Tell them that you will get back to them because you need 24 hours to think about this.(告诉对方你需要二十四小时思考，之后再和对方沟通。)”给出延后回复的做法，后文“Don’t we?(难道不是吗？)”反问佐证该做法可取。选项G“This is very helpful because we often feel differently about communication later on.(这样做十分有用，因为我们事后对沟通的感受常会发生改变。)”解释延后沟通的优势，完美承接上文做法，呼应结尾反问。 【20题详解】 后文“Think about whether there are any positive messages in the communication. Perhaps the person who is telling the thoughts cares so deeply about you that they truly want you to be the best kind of yourself.(想想沟通中是否有任何积极的信息。也许说出这些想法的人非常关心你，他们真的希望你成为最好的自己。)”整段围绕思考批评的积极意义展开论述，选项A“Think positively.(积极思考。)”为本段主旨句，统领下文全部内容。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was having a hard time trying to find work.

When he was waiting for his return flight at the airport, he noticed an old lady sitting next to him. She looked around 70 and kept staring at her passport — it’s cover was worn, as if she’d held it a thousand times. He later learned she was Norma, heading back to Cuba. Norma communicated with him through simple gestures and a few Spanish words he could understand: she’d come to the US to visit her sick child in New Jersey. Now that her child was getting better, she was going home alone. Her flight had a layover (中转) in Miami, where we live, but she had no one to turn to there. My husband helped her carry her heavy suitcase — which seemed too big for her thin arms — and guided her through the crowded airport. Just as they reached the boarding gate, they heard that their flight was delayed. Norma froze. Then tears started rolling down her cheeks. She pulled a crumpled (揉皱的) piece of paper from her pocket — it was a note with her child’s phone number in New Jersey, but no one answered when she tried to call. “I’ll just stay in the airport,” she whispered in Spanish, wiping her eyes with the edge of her clothes. My husband saw her hands shake — maybe from cold, maybe from fear. He immediately called me. “Honey, this lady can’t speak English. She has no friends or family in Miami. Can she stay with us tonight since she will catch an early flight tomorrow morning?” He told me her story, and I could picture her sitting alone in that huge airport. I quickly moved my daughter to my room, changed the bed sheets to fresh ones, and started cooking — rice, beans, and a warm soup, just like my mum used to make. 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。 Upon their arrival, Norma stood at the door, looking at the warm light in the living room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning at 4 a.m., we made her favourite food. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Upon their arrival, Norma stood at the door, looking at the warm light in the living room. She seemed unsure whether she should step inside. I walked over, took her hand gently, and said, “Welcome home, Norma.” She looked at me with tears in her eyes and whispered, “This is so kind of you.” My daughter had already laid out a blanket on the sofa, which we thought would be comfortable for her. We sat together and shared the soup I had cooked. Norma smiled for the first time since we met her at the airport. She told us that she had been so scared, but now she felt safe. The next morning at 4 a.m., we made her favourite food. She watched us in the kitchen, and I could tell that she was deeply moved. What touched me most was that she hugged my daughter and said, “You are like my grandchild.” We drove her to the airport before the sun rose. At the gate, she held our hands tightly and said she would never forget what we had done for her. We watched her walk away until she disappeared. That day I learned that what we gave her was just a meal and a bed, but what she gave us was a memory that would last forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者丈夫在纽约机场遇到一位叫Norma的古巴老妇人，她因航班延误独自滞留在迈阿密中转，身边无人可依，既不会说英语也打不通孩子的电话。丈夫便带她回家，作者为她做饭、换床单。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写Norma到达后的犹豫与感动，作者一家如何用温暖的举动（递毯子、端热汤）让她放下戒备，感受到家的温暖。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写第二天清晨为Norma做早餐的场景，Norma被深深打动的反应，离别时的不舍，最后升华主旨：我们给她的只是一顿饭和一张床，但她给我们的是一段永恒的记忆。 2.续写线索：Norma到达——感受到温暖——第二天清晨做早餐——离别不舍——感悟：善意是双向的馈赠 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①轻轻牵手：take her hand gently/hold her hand softly/take her by the hand ②拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①感动：move/touch ②害怕：scared/fearful/frightened 【点睛】【高分句型1】She seemed unsure whether she should step inside.

B Becoming a nurse was practically a natural choice for little Eugenia Millender, who began her years of health service by helping her grandmother, who didn’t like needles, with her injections (注射). Born in Panama, Millender grew up in a racially (种族地) diverse family and community. Her mother was Afro-Latina Panamanian, and her father was indigenous (本地的) Guna Panamanian. When Millender was 12, she arrived in Brooklyn with her mother, hoping to bring her a better life. They experienced poverty, and Millender saw the access and quality of health care people received. “My mother didn’t speak English, and when she tried to get care, people ignored her,” she says. Then she moved to Florida as a teenager and joined the army after high school, which allowed her to earn her undergraduate and master’s degrees in nursing. Working in emergency departments, which often cared for the uninsured, she saw families struggling with the same challenges her mother had. “You know they don’t have the resources to take care of their loved ones once they leave the hospital, or they don’t understand what the doctors and nurses are telling them because they speak a different language or an indigenous language,” she says. Now as a professor at Florida State University College of Nursing, Millender co-founded an institute (机构) and serves as its co-director. The institute focuses on addressing the causes of health unfairness — from language and cultural barriers (障碍) to mental-health challenges. Drawing on her own experiences, she spends time learning from communities about their needs and the difficulties they face. That includes incorporating, rather than ignoring, cultural beliefs, and community-based programmes that connect people with health care, often for the first time. Recently, Millender has seen her work come full circle with programmes she has started in her native Panama to improve health care for indigenous people. “I feel very lucky, so I have to give back,” she says. 4. What inspired Millender to become a nurse? A. Her childhood experiences. B. Her parents’ expectations. C. Her love for science and medicine. D. Her desire to get out of poverty. 5. What challenge did Millender’s mother face in accessing health care? A. The language barrier. B. The unstable job. C. The lack of personal insurance. D. The lack of family companionship. 6. Which word best describes Millender? A. Honest. B. Determined. C. Strict. D. Quiet. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Hard Life of Newcomers in America B. Ways to Overcome Language Barriers in Hospitals C. A Successful Professor in American Medical Colleges D. A Nurse Working to Break Health Unfairness C Most people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We become bored when there is little variety. However, there’s one place where we tend to dislike variety, and that’s in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share. There are reasons for this. When we meet new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure. This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but it’s important to the survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were the same, for example, and their environment changed in some significant, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease in water, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight (洞察力) into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and it’s known as population thinking. The idea of “survival of the fittest” shows that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a requisite for natural selection to work. Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding, but it’s a good investment (投资), sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who are different from you, treat your discomfort as a signal to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold that the other person should be silenced. Finally, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations. 8. Which of the following might make people feel uncomfortable? A. Socializing with people from different cultures. B. Sharing travelling experiences with others. C. Taking a trip to a foreign country. D. Having an adventure in the wild. 9. Why can new and different things make people feel unsettling and unpleasant? A. They require more physical efforts. B. They need more resources for nerve cells. C. They are often harmful to people’s health. D. They put pressure on people’s nervous system. 10. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “requisite” in Paragraph 3? A. Replacement. B. Challenge. C. Requirement. D. Drive. 11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A. Why we should get along with people different from us. B. How we should treat the differences we find in others. C. How we can benefit from seeking variation. D. Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation. D Using AI to help write a message to a friend is not a good idea — at least if your friend finds out about the use of AI, a new study suggests. Researchers found that people in the study believed that a friend who used AI to write them a message didn’t put in as much effort as a friend who wrote a message themselves. That may be understandable, but the effect goes beyond the message itself, said Bingjie Liu, lead author of the study. “After they get an AI message, our participants (参与者) feel less satisfied with their relationship with their friend and feel more uncertain about where they stand,” Liu said. But to be fair to AI, it wasn’t just the use of technology that turned people off. “People want their partners or friends to make an effort to come up with their own message without help from AI or other people,” Liu said. “People want to know how much you want to invest in your friendship and if they feel you are cutting corners by using AI to help, that’s not good,” Liu explained. Of course, most people won’t tell a friend that they used AI to help write a message, Liu said. But she noted that as ChatGPT becomes more popular, people may start doing a Turing Test in their minds as they read messages from friends and others. Turing Test is sometimes used to refer to people wondering if they can tell whether an action was taken by a computer or a person. “It could be that people will secretly do this Turing Test in their minds, trying to figure out if messages have some AI component (成分),” Liu said. “It may hurt relationships.” The answer is to do your own work in relationships, she said. “Don’t use technology just because it is convenient. Sincerity still matters a lot in relationships.” 12. How did people in the study feel about receiving an AI message from their friend? A. Thankful. B. Surprised. C. Dissatisfied. D. Embarrassed. 13. Why do people prefer that friends write messages themselves instead of using AI? A. AI messages often have many mistakes. B. People believe AI lacks emotional depth. C. Friends who use AI are considered dishonest. D. People want to see the effort invested in the friendship. 14. What’s the purpose of starting a Turing Test according to Liu? A.

When he was waiting for his return flight at the airport, he noticed an old lady sitting next to him. She looked around 70 and kept staring at her passport — it’s cover was worn, as if she’d held it a thousand times. He later learned she was Norma, heading back to Cuba. Norma communicated with him through simple gestures and a few Spanish words he could understand: she’d come to the US to visit her sick child in New Jersey. Now that her child was getting better, she was going home alone. Her flight had a layover (中转) in Miami, where we live, but she had no one to turn to there. My husband helped her carry her heavy suitcase — which seemed too big for her thin arms — and guided her through the crowded airport. Just as they reached the boarding gate, they heard that their flight was delayed. Norma froze. Then tears started rolling down her cheeks. She pulled a crumpled (揉皱的) piece of paper from her pocket — it was a note with her child’s phone number in New Jersey, but no one answered when she tried to call. “I’ll just stay in the airport,” she whispered in Spanish, wiping her eyes with the edge of her clothes. My husband saw her hands shake — maybe from cold, maybe from fear. He immediately called me. “Honey, this lady can’t speak English. She has no friends or family in Miami. Can she stay with us tonight since she will catch an early flight tomorrow morning?” He told me her story, and I could picture her sitting alone in that huge airport. I quickly moved my daughter to my room, changed the bed sheets to fresh ones, and started cooking — rice, beans, and a warm soup, just like my mum used to make. 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。 Upon their arrival, Norma stood at the door, looking at the warm light in the living room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning at 4 a.m., we made her favourite food. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
