To enrich the lives of the elderly and promote a sense of community responsibility, this volunteer program in Rome provides participants with a rewarding chance to support seniors. It is open to volunteers aged 18 and over, with a duration ranging from two to twelve weeks.
What You Will Do
Volunteers mainly work in community centers, care homes, and social service organizations. Daily tasks include setting up activity halls, distributing meals, organizing personal items, and accompanying seniors on short walks. Though simple, these tasks help create a warm and pleasant atmosphere for the elderly people.
Equally important is companionship. Volunteers spend time talking with seniors, reading books, playing games, or listening to their life stories. For those who feel lonely, such interaction brings emotional support. In addition, volunteers may take part in cultural and creative activities such as music sessions, art workshops, gentle exercise classes, and seasonal celebrations, all of which help seniors stay active and engaged.
Benefits of the Program
By offering care and attention, volunteers help reduce seniors’ loneliness and improve their life quality. At the same time, the program encourages respect across generations and strengthens the sense of community.
Guidelines
To ensure the program runs smoothly, volunteers must follow several rules. They should arrive on time, respect participants’ privacy, and use phones only for urgent matters. If unable to attend, they must inform the organizers ahead of time. Above all, patience and kindness are essential, as some seniors may require extra support.
How to Apply
Interested volunteers can apply through the official website. Applicants need to fill out a registration form and complete a short online training course prior to service. As places are limited, early application is recommended, especially during peak seasons. For more details, visit the program page and check the schedule for available positions.

In the seaside town of Scarborough, many young people face a difficult choice: set off for more opportunities or remain in a place they truly love. For Keane, a 19-year-old with the dream of becoming an actor, the answer is not simple.
Like many of his peers (同龄人), Keane grew up in a place where opportunities seem limited. Poor transport links and a lack of resources make it hard for young people to pursue higher education or creative careers. Many choose practical paths, taking apprenticeships (学徒工作) or local jobs to earn money as soon as possible. For a time, Keane nearly followed the same route.
Yet something held him back. Instead of leaving immediately, he chose to stay and explore his love for drama. After joining a local theater’s youth program, he began to develop his skills while working part-time to support himself. It was not an easy path. Surrounded by doubts and facing financial pressure, he had to prove that his dream was worth the risk.
Despite all hardships, Keane has not turned his back on Scarborough. To him, the town is more than a place with limited opportunities; it is also his spiritual home and source of inner strength. As he puts it, if he ever leaves someday, only part of him will depart; his heart will always belong here.
Finally, Keane achieved success. His play, Feral, tells the story of a young man torn between leaving for a better future and staying in the place he calls home. Through this work, Keane gave voice to a feeling shared by many young people — a desire to move forward without forgetting their origins. The play won awards, showing that even stories from small towns can reach wider audiences.
His story shows that success does not always mean leaving. Sometimes, it means staying, growing, and proving that even in a small town, dreams can take root and grow strong.
4. What troubles many young people in Scarborough?
A. They are unable to get along with peers.
B. They find it hard to balance work and study.
C. They are at a loss whether to leave their hometown.
D. They lack support from their local theater communities.
5. Why did Keane choose to stay in his hometown?
A. He had no courage to leave.
B. He preferred a stable life.
C. He needed to provide for his family.
D. He desired to pursue his passion locally.
6. What does Feral mainly reflect?
A. The challenges of life in small towns.
B. The pressure of artistic success-seeking.
C. The struggle between dream and reality.
D. The conflict between leaving and belonging.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Keane?
A. Ambitious and determined. B. Cautious and realistic.
C. Independent and talented. D. Adaptable and sensitive.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A

C
Along the Caribbean coast of Mexico, popular beach destinations such as Cancún and Tulum have been struggling with a serious ecological issue. Thick layers of sargassum (马尾藻) seaweed regularly wash ashore, blanketing sandy shores in vast brown piles and giving off an unpleasant smell, which has troubled not only local fishermen but also hotels and tourists, whose activities depend heavily on clean beaches.
Scientists hold the view that shifts in ocean currents and rising sea temperatures have contributed to the fast expansion of sargassum seaweed in the region. Once carried onto the shore, the seaweed begins to decay (腐烂), releasing gases that can affect both the environment and human health. As a result, local workers must clear the beaches almost every day, a task that is both time-consuming and costly.
Nevertheless, rather than regarding the invasive seaweed merely as useless waste materials, Mexico has begun to actively seek effective approaches to change it into practical and beneficial products. In recent years, several research groups and companies have worked together to pioneer innovative technical solutions, aiming to turn abundant sargassum resources into raw construction materials, biofuels as well as other kinds of sustainable supplies.
One example is a Mexican startup that produces eco-friendly bricks made partly from dried sargassum. These bricks are strong and can help reduce the amount of waste on the beaches. At the same time, some scientists are studying how the seaweed can be used to create biofuels, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional energy sources.
Local governments have also joined in these efforts by supporting projects that collect and process the seaweed. By doing so, they aim to reduce pollution while creating new economic opportunities for coastal communities.
For many residents, the situation remains challenging. Yet there is another voice. “We’ve been dealing with this problem for years, and it’s never been easy,” says Carlos Méndez, a local hotel worker in Cancún. “But it is possible that we can turn it into something of practical value, proving all this trouble isn’t for nothing.”
8. Why is sargassum seaweed a problem along the coast?
A. It drives away sea animals.
B. It changes the color of seawater.
C. It increases ocean temperatures.
D. It harms the beauty of coastal areas.
9. What do scientists think has led to the spread of sargassum seaweed?
A. Changes in ocean conditions.
B. The activities of the locals.
C. Shortage of labor to process seaweed.
D. The fast growth of the tourism industry.
10. What do Mexicans do with sargassum seaweed?
A. Call on visitors to remove it. B. Use it to build fishing boats.
C. Transform it into clean fuel. D. Bury it to protect the coastline.
11. What does Carlos think of the solution adopted by Mexico?
A. Thorough. B. Promising.
C. Technology-demanding. D. Time-consuming.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】

In today’s world, AI is developing at an astonishing speed. From writing essays to driving cars, AI is becoming part of our daily lives in ways we could hardly have imagined just a decade ago. While many people focus on what AI can do, few stop to ask a more important question: how should we use it? This is where philosophy becomes necessary, helping us think beyond technology itself and consider its deeper influence.
At first sight, philosophy may seem far removed from modern science and engineering. However, the development of AI has always been closely connected to it. Early AI systems were based on logic, a field shaped by philosophers who tried to understand how humans think and reason. Even today, AI depends on patterns in language and behavior, which leads to questions that are not only technical but also deeply human.
As AI becomes more powerful, these questions grow more serious and urgent. For example, can AI truly understand language, or is it simply repeating patterns it has learned from data? Can it be creative, or is it only combining existing ideas in new ways? More importantly, how can we make sure AI makes decisions that incarnate human values rather than simply follow numbers and statistics?
Philosophy plays an important role in answering these questions. It encourages us to slow down and reflect, asking not only “Can we build it?” but also “Should we use it?” and “What might happen in the future?” In this sense, philosophy does not compete with technology. Instead, it works alongside it, guiding human choices and helping us avoid possible risks.
As AI continues to shape our future, clear thinking will become more important than ever. As one researcher puts it, “Technology shows us what is possible, but philosophy helps us decide what is right.” In the end, it is this ability to question, reflect, and judge that may truly define the age of AI.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By giving an example. B. By raising a question.
C. By defining a concept. D. By quoting a philosopher.
13. What does the underlined word “incarnate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Represent. B. Replace. C. Challenge. D. Restore.
14. What is the function of philosophy?
A. To guide the wise use of AI.
B. To free AI from potential risks.
C. To improve the computing speed of AI.
D. To strengthen AI’s language ability.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Smarter Tools, Harder Choices B. Faster Machines, Smarter World
C. Why Thinking Matters in the AI Age D. How Technology Shapes the World
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要论述了哲学在人工智能时代的关键作用,强调其能引导人们思考技术背后的伦理选择与价值判断。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“While many people focus on what AI can do, few stop to ask a more important question: how should we use it? This is where philosophy becomes necessary, helping us think beyond technology itself and consider its deeper influence.(尽管许多人都在关注人工智能能做什么,却鲜有人停下脚步去思考一个更关键的问题:我们应当如何使用它?而这正是哲学不可或缺之处——它引导我们超越技术本身,去审视其更为深远的影响)”可知,作者通过提出一个关键问题引入主题。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“More importantly, how can we make sure AI makes decisions that incarnate human values rather than simply follow numbers and statistics?(更重要的是,我们如何确保人工智能做出incarnate人类价值观的决策,而非仅仅遵循数字与统计数据?)”可知,这里表达人工智能做出决策,体现人类价值观,“incarnate”在此处意为“体现、代表”,与Represent同义。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Instead, it works alongside it, guiding human choices and helping us avoid possible risks.(相反,哲学与技术并肩而行,引导人类的选择,帮助我们规避潜在风险)”及最后一段中“Technology shows us what is possible, but philosophy helps us decide what is right.(技术向我们展示何为可能,而哲学帮助我们判断何为正确)”可知,哲学的功用在于引导人们明智地使用人工智能。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文核心观点,尤其是最后一段中“As AI continues to shape our future, clear thinking will become more important than ever.(随着人工智能持续塑造我们的未来,清晰思辨将变得比以往任何时候都更加重要)”可知,文章重点强调在人工智能时代进行哲学思考的重要性,C选项“Why Thinking Matters in the AI Age(为何在人工智能时代思考至关重要)”最适合作为标题。
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。
For many people, engaging in exercise is vital to a healthy lifestyle, delivering both bodily strength and psychological comfort. ____16____ How to avoid injury is just as important as the exercise itself.
One of the most common causes of injury lies in improper movement. Even simple exercise, when repeated with poor form, can place unnecessary stress on the body. ____17____ Therefore, learning correct technique is far from a waste of effort. Under proper guidance, the same movement can become both safer and more effective.
Equally important is preparing the body before exercise. ____18____ A short warm-up, such as light movement, helps the body shift from rest to activity more safely. It also lowers the chance of sudden strain. At the same time, it is essential to avoid doing too much too soon. Although strong motivation may push people to challenge themselves, the body requires gradual progress in order to build strength without injury. Step-by-step improvement, rather than sudden effort, is more likely to produce lasting results.
____19____ Wearing suitable shoes, staying properly hydrated (补水), and adjusting exercise to fit the environment all contribute to safer movement. Most importantly, people should learn to listen to their bodies, since pain often serves as an early warning rather than something to ignore. ____20____
A. It is impossible to prevent every kind of injury.
B. Small details can also make a significant difference.
C. A slight mistake in body position may gradually lead to pain.
D. When people begin too suddenly, they increase the risk of injuries.
E. Here are some practical ways ordinary people can protect themselves.
F. Remember the best exercise plan is the one that can be continued safely over time.
G. However, staying active is not simply about moving more, but about moving wisely.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了科学运动的重要性,从规范动作、循序渐进热身及关注细节等方面,阐述避免运动损伤、实现安全锻炼的具体方法。
【16题详解】
上文“For many people, engaging in exercise is vital to a healthy lifestyle, delivering both bodily strength and psychological comfort.(对许多人而言,参与运动对健康生活方式至关重要,既能增强体质,又能带来心理慰藉)”说明运动对身心健康的双重益处。空后“How to avoid injury is just as important as the exercise itself.(如何避免损伤与运动本身同等重要)”指出安全运动的必要性。空处和前文为转折关系,从强调运动益处转向强调科学运动的重要性。选项G“However, staying active is not simply about moving more, but about moving wisely.(然而,保持活跃不仅仅意味着多动,更意味着明智地运动)”中的“However”承接上文转折,“moving wisely”引出后文关于避免损伤的讨论,符合语境。
【17题详解】
上文“Even simple exercise, when repeated with poor form, can place unnecessary stress on the body.(即便是简单的运动,若以错误姿势反复进行,也会给身体造成不必要的压力)”指出错误姿势对身体的潜在危害。空后“Therefore, learning correct technique is far from a waste of effort.(因此,学习正确技巧绝非徒劳)”强调掌握规范动作的必要性。空处和前文为因果关系,具体阐释错误姿势引发的连锁反应。选项C“A slight mistake in body position may gradually lead to pain.(身体姿态的微小错误可能逐渐引发疼痛)”中的“slight mistake”对应前文“poor form”,“gradually lead to pain”解释了前文“unnecessary stress”的后果,与后文“correct technique”形成逻辑闭环,符合语境。
【18题详解】
上文“Equally important is preparing the body before exercise.(同样重要的是运动前做好身体准备)”提出运动前热身的核心地位。空后“A short warm-up, such as light movement, helps the body shift from rest to activity more safely.(短暂的热身,如轻微活动,能帮助身体更安全地从休息状态过渡到活动状态)”说明科学热身的具体作用。空处和前文为反义补充关系,从反面论证忽视热身的后果。选项D“When people begin too suddenly, they increase the risk of injuries.(当人们开始运动过于突然时,会增加受伤的风险)”中的“begin too suddenly”与前文“preparing the body”形成对比,“increase the risk of injuries”印证了热身缺失的危害,与后文热身益处构成正反论证,符合语境。
【19题详解】
空后“Wearing suitable shoes, staying properly hydrated, and adjusting exercise to fit the environment all contribute to safer movement.(穿着合适的鞋子、保持适当补水以及根据环境调整运动,都有助于提升运动安全性)”列举装备、补水及环境适配等具体影响因素。空处和后文为总分关系,概括后文列举的各项细节要素。选项B“Small details can also make a significant difference.(细微之处也能产生重大影响)”中的“Small details”精准概括后文鞋履、补水及环境调整等具体内容,作为本段主题句统领全段,符合语境。
【20题详解】
上文“Most importantly, people should learn to listen to their bodies, since pain often serves as an early warning rather than something to ignore.(最重要的是,人们应学会倾听身体的声音,因为疼痛往往是早期预警,而非可以忽视的信号)”强调关注身体反馈的核心原则。空处和前文为递进总结关系,升华安全运动的终极目标。选项F“Remember the best exercise plan is the one that can be continued safely over time.(请记住,最佳的运动计划是能够长期安全坚持的计划)”中的“continued safely over time”呼应前文“listen to your bodies”及“avoid injury”的核心诉求,将碎片化建议整合为可持续的运动理念,收束全文,符合语境。

Nowadays, an increasing number of students tend to learn by watching online short videos. They turn to videos to review lessons, memorize English words or pick up useful learning skills.
As far as I am concerned, it has both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, short videos are easy to understand, which can greatly arouse our learning interest and make study more relaxing. On the other hand, not all the knowledge in short videos is scientific, and watching them may be just a waste of time, or even lead to serious results.
Therefore, we need to choose resources wisely and never rely on them too much.

47. 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。
Evan always believed that success followed a simple path: if you worked hard enough, good results would come. That idea stayed with him until his junior year, when his science teacher Mr. White announced a technology design competition. Seeing it as a chance to prove himself, Evan signed up at once, sure that his long hours of devotion would finally bring success.
His project was a voice-controlled study helper, a small device that could respond to simple commands and remind users of their tasks. The idea sounded useful, and for weeks, Evan worked alone in his room, surrounded by notes, wires, and small parts. He rarely showed his work to others, believing that solving problems by himself meant real ability. When the device worked, Evan felt overjoyed.
On the day of the competition, the school hall was full of energy. Machines lit up, screens flashed, and students spoke confidently about their designs. Some students demonstrated smart lights, while others presented robots or energy-saving inventions. Evan set up his device carefully and began his presentation. At first, everything seemed fine. But when the judges asked him to test it in a noisy environment, the device failed to respond. Evan repeated the command, adjusting the settings quickly, but the system stayed silent. Heat rose to his face as the voices around him seemed suddenly louder. The moment felt longer than it was, and soon the judges moved on.
That evening, Evan sat at his desk, looking at the silent device. In the following days, he tried to avoid thinking about the competition, but his thoughts kept returning. While reading through his notebook, he noticed how often he had skipped careful testing because he was too eager to finish. He had trusted his first success too easily and ignored the possibility that real conditions might be different. What troubled him most was not simply the loss, but the realization that he had mistaken working alone for working well.
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。
Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over. He first asked Mr. White for advice, who pointed out his lack of testing and teamwork. Evan then invited two classmates good at programming and acoustics to join him. They improved the device’s noise cancellation together, testing it in crowded classrooms and busy corridors over and over again. Every small problem was discussed openly, and Evan learned to listen to others’ opinions instead of working alone. He also recorded every test result, and adjusted the settings patiently until the device worked perfectly in any environment.
Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition. This time, he presented his improved voice-controlled study helper confidently. He calmly introduced the design concept and detailed improvement process of his work. When tested in various complex environments, his voice-controlled study helper responded accurately and operated steadily without any mistakes. His sincere sharing and outstanding work won wide recognition from the judges and warm applause from the audience. Holding the award, he realized that real success wasn’t just about hard work, but also about reflection, humility, teamwork and careful preparation.

To enrich the lives of the elderly and promote a sense of community responsibility, this volunteer program in Rome provides participants with a rewarding chance to support seniors. It is open to volunteers aged 18 and over, with a duration ranging from two to twelve weeks.
What You Will Do
Volunteers mainly work in community centers, care homes, and social service organizations. Daily tasks include setting up activity halls, distributing meals, organizing personal items, and accompanying seniors on short walks. Though simple, these tasks help create a warm and pleasant atmosphere for the elderly people.
Equally important is companionship. Volunteers spend time talking with seniors, reading books, playing games, or listening to their life stories. For those who feel lonely, such interaction brings emotional support. In addition, volunteers may take part in cultural and creative activities such as music sessions, art workshops, gentle exercise classes, and seasonal celebrations, all of which help seniors stay active and engaged.
Benefits of the Program
By offering care and attention, volunteers help reduce seniors’ loneliness and improve their life quality. At the same time, the program encourages respect across generations and strengthens the sense of community.
Guidelines
To ensure the program runs smoothly, volunteers must follow several rules. They should arrive on time, respect participants’ privacy, and use phones only for urgent matters. If unable to attend, they must inform the organizers ahead of time. Above all, patience and kindness are essential, as some seniors may require extra support.
How to Apply
Interested volunteers can apply through the official website. Applicants need to fill out a registration form and complete a short online training course prior to service. As places are limited, early application is recommended, especially during peak seasons. For more details, visit the program page and check the schedule for available positions.
1. What is the program designed to provide?
A. Safety-focused care. B. Skill-related training.
C. Patient-centered service. D. Community-based support.
2. What is the volunteers’ main role in the program?
A. Cultural designers. B. Daily-life supporters.
C. Program organizers. D. Medical-service providers.
3. What is expected of volunteers under the rules?
A. No phone use. B. Flexible participation.
C. Prior notice of absence. D. Public sharing of activities.

In the seaside town of Scarborough, many young people face a difficult choice: set off for more opportunities or remain in a place they truly love. For Keane, a 19-year-old with the dream of becoming an actor, the answer is not simple.
Like many of his peers (同龄人), Keane grew up in a place where opportunities seem limited. Poor transport links and a lack of resources make it hard for young people to pursue higher education or creative careers. Many choose practical paths, taking apprenticeships (学徒工作) or local jobs to earn money as soon as possible. For a time, Keane nearly followed the same route.
Yet something held him back. Instead of leaving immediately, he chose to stay and explore his love for drama. After joining a local theater’s youth program, he began to develop his skills while working part-time to support himself. It was not an easy path. Surrounded by doubts and facing financial pressure, he had to prove that his dream was worth the risk.
Despite all hardships, Keane has not turned his back on Scarborough. To him, the town is more than a place with limited opportunities; it is also his spiritual home and source of inner strength. As he puts it, if he ever leaves someday, only part of him will depart; his heart will always belong here.
Finally, Keane achieved success. His play, Feral, tells the story of a young man torn between leaving for a better future and staying in the place he calls home. Through this work, Keane gave voice to a feeling shared by many young people — a desire to move forward without forgetting their origins. The play won awards, showing that even stories from small towns can reach wider audiences.
His story shows that success does not always mean leaving. Sometimes, it means staying, growing, and proving that even in a small town, dreams can take root and grow strong.
4. What troubles many young people in Scarborough?
A. They are unable to get along with peers.
B. They find it hard to balance work and study.
C. They are at a loss whether to leave their hometown.
D. They lack support from their local theater communities.
5. Why did Keane choose to stay in his hometown?
A. He had no courage to leave.
B. He preferred a stable life.
C. He needed to provide for his family.
D. He desired to pursue his passion locally.
6. What does Feral mainly reflect?
A. The challenges of life in small towns.
B. The pressure of artistic success-seeking.
C. The struggle between dream and reality.
D. The conflict between leaving and belonging.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Keane?
A. Ambitious and determined. B. Cautious and realistic.
C. Independent and talented. D. Adaptable and sensitive.
C
Along the Caribbean coast of Mexico, popular beach destinations such as Cancún and Tulum have been struggling with a serious ecological issue. Thick layers of sargassum (马尾藻) seaweed regularly wash ashore, blanketing sandy shores in vast brown piles and giving off an unpleasant smell, which has troubled not only local fishermen but also hotels and tourists, whose activities depend heavily on clean beaches.
Scientists hold the view that shifts in ocean currents and rising sea temperatures have contributed to the fast expansion of sargassum seaweed in the region. Once carried onto the shore, the seaweed begins to decay (腐烂), releasing gases that can affect both the environment and human health. As a result, local workers must clear the beaches almost every day, a task that is both time-consuming and costly.
Nevertheless, rather than regarding the invasive seaweed merely as useless waste materials, Mexico has begun to actively seek effective approaches to change it into practical and beneficial products. In recent years, several research groups and companies have worked together to pioneer innovative technical solutions, aiming to turn abundant sargassum resources into raw construction materials, biofuels as well as other kinds of sustainable supplies.
One example is a Mexican startup that produces eco-friendly bricks made partly from dried sargassum. These bricks are strong and can help reduce the amount of waste on the beaches. At the same time, some scientists are studying how the seaweed can be used to create biofuels, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional energy sources.
Local governments have also joined in these efforts by supporting projects that collect and process the seaweed. By doing so, they aim to reduce pollution while creating new economic opportunities for coastal communities.
For many residents, the situation remains challenging. Yet there is another voice. “We’ve been dealing with this problem for years, and it’s never been easy,” says Carlos Méndez, a local hotel worker in Cancún. “But it is possible that we can turn it into something of practical value, proving all this trouble isn’t for nothing.”
8. Why is sargassum seaweed a problem along the coast?
A. It drives away sea animals.
B. It changes the color of seawater.
C. It increases ocean temperatures.
D. It harms the beauty of coastal areas.
9. What do scientists think has led to the spread of sargassum seaweed?
A. Changes in ocean conditions.
B. The activities of the locals.
C. Shortage of labor to process seaweed.
D. The fast growth of the tourism industry.
10. What do Mexicans do with sargassum seaweed?
A. Call on visitors to remove it. B. Use it to build fishing boats.
C. Transform it into clean fuel. D. Bury it to protect the coastline.
11. What does Carlos think of the solution adopted by Mexico?
A. Thorough. B. Promising.
C. Technology-demanding. D. Time-consuming.
D
In today’s world, AI is developing at an astonishing speed. From writing essays to driving cars, AI is becoming part of our daily lives in ways we could hardly have imagined just a decade ago. While many people focus on what AI can do, few stop to ask a more important question: how should we use it? This is where philosophy becomes necessary, helping us think beyond technology itself and consider its deeper influence.
At first sight, philosophy may seem far removed from modern science and engineering. However, the development of AI has always been closely connected to it. Early AI systems were based on logic, a field shaped by philosophers who tried to understand how humans think and reason. Even today, AI depends on patterns in language and behavior, which leads to questions that are not only technical but also deeply human.
As AI becomes more powerful, these questions grow more serious and urgent. For example, can AI truly understand language, or is it simply repeating patterns it has learned from data? Can it be creative, or is it only combining existing ideas in new ways? More importantly, how can we make sure AI makes decisions that incarnate human values rather than simply follow numbers and statistics?
Philosophy plays an important role in answering these questions. It encourages us to slow down and reflect, asking not only “Can we build it?” but also “Should we use it?” and “What might happen in the future?” In this sense, philosophy does not compete with technology. Instead, it works alongside it, guiding human choices and helping us avoid possible risks.
As AI continues to shape our future, clear thinking will become more important than ever. As one researcher puts it, “Technology shows us what is possible, but philosophy helps us decide what is right.” In the end, it is this ability to question, reflect, and judge that may truly define the age of AI.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By giving an example. B. By raising a question.
C. By defining a concept. D. By quoting a philosopher.
13. What does the underlined word “incarnate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Represent. B. Replace. C. Challenge. D. Restore.
14. What is the function of philosophy?
A. To guide the wise use of AI.
B. To free AI from potential risks.
C. To improve the computing speed of AI.
D. To strengthen AI’s language ability.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Smarter Tools, Harder Choices B. Faster Machines, Smarter World
C. Why Thinking Matters in the AI Age D. How Technology Shapes the World

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。
For many people, engaging in exercise is vital to a healthy lifestyle, delivering both bodily strength and psychological comfort. ____16____ How to avoid injury is just as important as the exercise itself.
One of the most common causes of injury lies in improper movement. Even simple exercise, when repeated with poor form, can place unnecessary stress on the body. ____17____ Therefore, learning correct technique is far from a waste of effort. Under proper guidance, the same movement can become both safer and more effective.
Equally important is preparing the body before exercise. ____18____ A short warm-up, such as light movement, helps the body shift from rest to activity more safely. It also lowers the chance of sudden strain. At the same time, it is essential to avoid doing too much too soon. Although strong motivation may push people to challenge themselves, the body requires gradual progress in order to build strength without injury. Step-by-step improvement, rather than sudden effort, is more likely to produce lasting results.
____19____ Wearing suitable shoes, staying properly hydrated (补水), and adjusting exercise to fit the environment all contribute to safer movement. Most importantly, people should learn to listen to their bodies, since pain often serves as an early warning rather than something to ignore. ____20____
A. It is impossible to prevent every kind of injury.
B. Small details can also make a significant difference.
C. A slight mistake in body position may gradually lead to pain.

47. 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。
Evan always believed that success followed a simple path: if you worked hard enough, good results would come. That idea stayed with him until his junior year, when his science teacher Mr. White announced a technology design competition. Seeing it as a chance to prove himself, Evan signed up at once, sure that his long hours of devotion would finally bring success.
His project was a voice-controlled study helper, a small device that could respond to simple commands and remind users of their tasks. The idea sounded useful, and for weeks, Evan worked alone in his room, surrounded by notes, wires, and small parts. He rarely showed his work to others, believing that solving problems by himself meant real ability. When the device worked, Evan felt overjoyed.
On the day of the competition, the school hall was full of energy. Machines lit up, screens flashed, and students spoke confidently about their designs. Some students demonstrated smart lights, while others presented robots or energy-saving inventions. Evan set up his device carefully and began his presentation. At first, everything seemed fine. But when the judges asked him to test it in a noisy environment, the device failed to respond. Evan repeated the command, adjusting the settings quickly, but the system stayed silent. Heat rose to his face as the voices around him seemed suddenly louder. The moment felt longer than it was, and soon the judges moved on.
That evening, Evan sat at his desk, looking at the silent device. In the following days, he tried to avoid thinking about the competition, but his thoughts kept returning. While reading through his notebook, he noticed how often he had skipped careful testing because he was too eager to finish. He had trusted his first success too easily and ignored the possibility that real conditions might be different. What troubled him most was not simply the loss, but the realization that he had mistaken working alone for working well.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over.
