B Every so often,31-year-old Chen Jiawen,a product designer at a technology company in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province,sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day. On this day,she disconnectsfrom the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences.In the moring,she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music.In the afteroon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening,they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones,engaged in deep conversation.Upon returning home,she spends the evening reading. Chen started the plan as she often felt"interrupted"by technology,citing moments of distraction()like pop-up notifications,ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages,and feelings of information overload."Occasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,"Chen said.Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus.In addition to this,she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books."When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones,it makes me uncomfortable,"Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned,leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus. It's become a common situation where modern people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app.To prevent this sense of being "controlled"by mobile devices,some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts.Technology 1 should bring us joy,not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety.Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us. 24.What can we learn about Unplug Day?

C.Remove the apps informing new messages. D.Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights. C Honey is a simple pleasure.It's easy to forget,while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast,that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers. Honey starts out as nectar(),a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees.Most of these visitors drink it down on the spot as nutrition for themselves.A food-hunting worker bee,though,does things differently.The bee stores the nectar in its honey stomach rather than digesting it. The stomach can hold a lot of nectar,up to almost half the bee's unloaded body mass,and filling it may require a thousand flower visits.The transformation of nectar into honey begins while the bee is still on the wing,as the honey stomach produces enzymes()that break down the larger,complex sugar molecule ()into smaller ones. On arrival back at the hive,where bees live and work,the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers,who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time.Once it is sufficiently sticky,the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings.Only when the water content has been reduced to about 18 percent (from about 75 percent in the original nectar)do they seal the cells with beeswax lids.At this point,it is well and truly honey. An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season,which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them.A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km.The effort that has gone into.making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast it can surely only add to the pleasure. 28.What is the function of nectar in flowering plants? A.To appeal to pollinating insects. B.To store energy for the plant. C.To help worker bees produce enzymesD.To help the plant absorb nutrients. 29.What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A.The cells are sealed with worker bees'wings. B.Producing honey requires teamwork. C.The drying work is done by female bees. D.It's critical to maintain water percentage. 30.How is the last paragraph developed? A.By listing figures. B.By giving definitions. C.By making comparisons. D.By providing examples. 31.Which may be a suitable title for the text? A.Skilled Workers B.A Simple Pleasure C.Advanced and Intelligent Creatures D.Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate Work D Titled "A new future of work:The race to deploy()Aland raise skills in Europe and beyond",the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030,China Media Group reported on Sunday. The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe,leading to a polarization of the labor market.High-skilled, high-wage jobs may face talent shortages,while low-wage industries could experience a surplus (of labor.The percentage of high-wage jobs is expected to rise by 1.8 percent,while low-wage jobs may decrease by 1.4 percent.Germany,according to the report,is projected to have around 3 million jobs affected by AI by 2030,representing 7 percent of its total employment.Office jobs in administrative sectors of companies and public institutions are expected to be hit the hardest,accounting for 54 percent of all AI-impacted positions. In addition,the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI,suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs.MeKinsey researchers call on managers to invest heavily in employee education and training,saying that without a significant improvement in the skill levels of the workforce,Al cannot fully release its potential. The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends,and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development.Improving the governance system is not about restricting AI development but promoting its healthy growth.It is essential to establish a legal and policy framework suited to the development. The necessities are highlighted that a policy environment should be created which is beneficial to Al research,development,and application and the safety responsibilities and accountability mechanisms for Al systems should be clarified,ensuring trackability and repairability of responsible parties. 32.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A.The threats posed by Al. B.The future workforce training. C.The advantages of AI workforce. D.The potential effect of AI on workforce. 33.What is emphasized to meet the challenge? A.Education and training. B.Skills of management. C.Government investment. D.Policy and opportunities. 34.What is the author's attitude towards AI development? A Inclear. B.Dismissive. C.Objective. D.Doubtful. 35.Which column of a news website may the text be taken from? A.Fashion. B.Iealth. C.Technology. D.Service. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 How to Volunteer at an Animal Shelter When you think of volunteering at an animal shelter,you might think of walking dogs or brushing cats.However,there are many additional jobs available!Shelters usually need volunteers for office work,adoption events,and many more important responsibilities. 36 Here is some information you need to know.
