UNIT 4　Living with technology Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2026·江苏盐城三模）Virtual Reality （VR） is an exciting new tool for mental health professionals， offering a unique opportunity to treat a range of mental health disorders in a safe and supportive environment.VR can provide users with an immersive （沉浸式的） experience that allows them to face their fears and anxieties， practice coping skills， and receive feedback in a controlled environment.However， the use of VR for mental health is not limited to therapy （治疗） sessions with professionals. 　　In recent years， virtual worlds have emerged as a space where people with mental health issues can connect with others and find a sense of community.One such platform is Inner World， where anonymous （匿名的） users can openly discuss their mental health challenges with others.The platform offers a supportive and non-judgmental space for users to work through their emotional struggles. 　　Duncan Martinez is one Inner World user who has found comfort in this platform.He has struggled with mental health issues throughout his life， and while he has tried traditional therapy， he found it too expensive to maintain.However， Inner World offers an alternative， providing a safe and supportive community where he can share his feelings and connect with others who understand his struggles. 　　The anonymous communication and the game-like environment are particularly appealing to male users， who are often underserved in traditional mental health services.According to Noelle Robinson， the founder and CEO of Inner World， around 70% of Inner World users identify as male.By coming into a virtual environment that feels like a game， Inner World is helping to meet people where they are and provide them with the support they need. 　　The Inner World platform is still in its early stage， but it holds a great deal of promise for the future of mental health care.As VR technology continues to develop， we can expect to see more platforms like Inner World emerge， offering new ways to help people struggling with mental health challenges. 1.What is the main advantage of VR according to the passage？（　　） A.It simplifies the treatment of disease. B.It has become more available than before. C.It allows users to communicate anonymously. D.It offers a sense of safety to discuss mental issues. 2.How does Duncan Martinez find Inner World？（　　） A.It is more affordable than traditional therapy. B.It can provide him with a gaming experience. C.It allows him to avoid expressing his feelings. D.It can replace all other forms of mental health care. 3.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage？（　　） A.To explain how VR technology works. B.To criticize traditional mental health services. C.To introduce the benefits of VR and Inner World. D.To promote the use of VR in traditional therapy. B 　　（2026·湖南衡阳期中）The 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies， from tablet computers to 4G mobile Internet.But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy.During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable （少得可怜的） 1% a year， holding down average wages.Innovative firms embraced new tech， but many less adventurous ones did not bother.The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand. 　　Generative AI， its developers say， will be different.Not since the invention of the Internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination.The technology is consumer-friendly： within days of its release to the public， ChatGPT， the most famous AI chatbot， had millions of users.It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms， from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently. 　　With that said， for AI to truly spread out in the economy， it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies.And this will take time.Although the Internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s， it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website.About 70 of the world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI， according to our analysis.Some evidence even suggests that usage of ChatGPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out， and then decided it is not for them. 　　Indeed， even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted， because companies tend to use a mix of software and services， some of which may be years or even decades old.Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated.Moreover，in many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government， such as healthcare， education and construction， bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology， worried that it will lead to job losses.In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs.But the road to widespread usage， and any resulting productivity boom， will be a long one. 4.What is paragraph 1 mainly about？（　　） A.Whether economic growth follows new technologies. B.Why the 2010s is a productive decade. C.How productivity affects average wages. D.What innovative companies care for. 5.What does the author want to indicate by mentioning ChatGPT in paragraph 2？（　　） A.AI’s public imagination. B.AI’s huge potential. C.AI’s healthy profits. D.Consumers’ enthusiasm. 6.What can be inferred from paragraph 3？（　　） A.Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech. B.Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s. C.Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors. D.More efforts are needed to advocate AI. 7.Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI？（　　） A.Hopeful. B.Worried. C.Cautious. D.Pessimistic. Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　Artificial Intelligence （AI） geolocation solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife， enabling more powerful conservation efforts.These systems use advanced sensors， satellite imagery， and machine learning algorithms （算法） to gather real-time data on animal movements， habitat preferences， and migration patterns.8.　 　　Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems， which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals.9.　　The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely， which can decrease human impact on wildlife. 　　In addition， AI-powered devices collect and analyse data precisely.Through their assistance， scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations.10.　　 For example， by analysing the collected data， conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices. 　　11.　　 By monitoring animals’ behavioural changes in real-time， researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues.Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems.Researchers can then respond immediately， potentially saving the animal’s life. 　　Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness about protecting endangered species.12.　　 This helps them feel more connected to the issues wildlife faces in habitats.The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means， such as donations， volunteer work and so on. A.This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions. B.However， AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals. C.AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods. D.The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation. E.Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience. F.The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork. G.With real-time data， the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks.
