These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list. Royal Academy of Arts（RA）, London Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century. Whitworth, Manchester After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露天平台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions. 1. What is special about Royal Academy of Arts? A. It offers interactive experiences. B. It displays works by senior artists. C. It holds exhibitions in a traditional way. D. It provides a vast space for hosting exhibitions. 2. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common? A. They are small in scale. B. They offer outdoor settings. C. They feature modem works. D. They host exhibitions on an annual basis. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A travel guidebook. B. A film magazine. C. A history book. D. A science report. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了英国三家值得一游的世界级艺术画廊，旨在为游客提供旅行参考。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Royal Academy of Arts（RA）, London部分中“Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways. (此外，皇家艺术研究院的独特之处在于它通过参与性体验与公众互动，让游客不仅能欣赏艺术，还能以创新的方式成为艺术的一部分)”可知，皇家艺术研究院的特别之处在于它提供互动体验。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire部分中“Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century. (坐落在西约克郡数百英亩的公园里，你将看到20世纪一些领先艺术家的雕塑)”以及Whitworth, Manchester部分中“Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露天平台), all waiting to be explored. (画廊充分利用其风景如画的公园环境，拥有一个美丽的艺术花园和一个雕塑露台，所有这些都等待探索)”可知，约克郡雕塑公园和惠特沃斯画廊的共同之处在于它们都提供户外环境。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list. (这些画廊你需要添加到你的必游清单中)”以及下文对几家艺术画廊的介绍可推知，本文可能来自一本旅游指南。故选A项。 B It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in. She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end. The starting gun fired. We surged forward, a pack of brightly colored jerseys. The first lap felt surprisingly smooth, but as we rounded the curve into the second lap, the familiar burn started in my lungs. Sarah pulled slightly ahead. “Just keep her in sight,” I told myself, remembering Coach’s words: “Run your own race.” With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!” Something clicked. It wasn’t just about winning against Sarah anymore; it was about pushing myself to my absolute limit, about honoring all those hours of practice. I dug deep, deeper than I ever had before. My arms pumped harder, my stride lengthened, and I focused solely on the finish line ribbon. The pain was intense, but it was pushed aside by sheer determination. The last few meters were a blur. I threw myself forward. As I crossed the line, breathless and wobbly, I had no idea who had won. Then I heard the announcement: “First place ... Mia Johnson!” A wave of disbelief and pure joy washed over me. Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal. That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible. 4. How did Mia feel at the beginning of the race? A. Confident and energetic. B. Focused solely on beating Sarah. C. Excited by the crowd’s noise. D. Doubtful and physically heavy. 5. When the coach shouts “Kick NOW, Mia”, the word “kick” most probably means ________. A. to ignore pain and continue moving B. to strike the ground with one’s foot C. to suddenly increase running speed D. to focus on proper running form 6. What is the symbolic meaning of Sarah offering Mia a handshake after the race? A. It reflects the universal sportsmanship spirit. B. It helps to cover Sarah’s disappointment in losing the race. C. It highlights Mia’s physical superiority. D. It indicates Sarah’s pity for Mia’s effort. 7. What does Mia realize is the most important thing she learned from the race? A. Winning against a strong competitor is the ultimate goal. B. Following Coach’s instructions is crucial for success. C. Her biggest challenge is overcoming her own self-doubt. D. Physical pain is temporary, but medals last forever. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了赛季最后800米赛跑，米娅面对劲敌萨拉，一度想放弃，在队友和教练鼓励下奋力冲刺夺冠。萨拉表示敬佩，这场比赛让米娅明白最大的对手是自己，坚持能带来意外成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in.(这是本赛季的最后一场比赛，是800米赛跑，我的双腿沉重得像铅块一样。炽热的阳光直射在跑道上，观众的欢呼声听起来很遥远。整个夏天我都在刻苦训练，但现在面对我最强劲的对手萨拉·陈，心中的疑虑悄然涌起)”可知，米娅在比赛开始时感到怀疑且身体沉重。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end.(她似乎总能在最后时刻爆发出额外的速度)”以及第三段“With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!”(还剩200米的时候，我和萨拉之间的差距越来越大。我的双腿拼命地想要减速，负面的想法涌上心头：“你追不上她的。第二名也就可以了。”我瞥了一眼看台，看到队友们疯狂地挥舞着手臂，脸上满是鼓励的神情。接着，教练的声音穿透了嘈杂声：“现在Kick，米娅！你全力以赴！”)”可知，教练喊全力以赴，应该是让米娅“跑起来”，“Kick”这个词很可能指的是突然加快奔跑速度的意思。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal.(萨拉在几秒钟后也完成了比赛，她露出疲惫但真诚的微笑，并与我握手。“很棒的冲刺！”她气喘吁吁地说。那一刻的相互尊重几乎和奖牌一样重要)”可知，在比赛结束后，萨拉与米娅握手这一举动体现了普遍的体育精神。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible.(那场比赛不仅教会了我如何跑得更快，还让我明白，最大的竞争对手往往是自己——那个认为自己做不到的声音。而且，找到力量去压制住这个声音，哪怕只是在最后的冲刺阶段，也能带来你从未想过能够实现的成就)”可知，米娅意识到从这次比赛中她学到的最重要的事情是她面临的最大挑战是克服自己的自我怀疑。故选C。 C If you’re offered a-free cookie, you might say yes. But if you’re paid to eat a free cookie, would your response be the same? You might politely refuse and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a new study, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” because they seem “too good to be true”. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered an additional $2. “People typically infer hidden costs from overly generous offers. In this case, the participants may think the cookies were poisoned,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch. Further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present common everyday scenes. In each case, past a certain threshold value (阈值), higher potential monetary gain at no cost reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that, against the “standard economic model”, which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, deals need to be understood as social interactions between people trying to read each other’s minds. If someone seems to go against accepted norms without a solid reason, we assume they have hidden purposes and infer there will be “phantom costs (幻影成本)”. The researchers also showed how to weaken phantom costs’ effect. In one experiment, participants were given three plane tickets for the same flight, respectively costing $235, $275, and $205. Most people chose the $205 ticket. However, if the third option was $15, hardly anyone chose the cheapest one. They rejected it because they imagined horrible phantom costs. However, when the researchers accounted for the incredibly cheap offer — very uncomfortable seats — most participants preferred the $15 flight. The scientists are also about to experiment with human and artificial intelligence interactions. “Will people act the same way when AI is overly generous to them?” Vonasch says. “AI is always programmed to appear more human-like and people tend to treat AI agents as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. What does the underlined part “smells fishy” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is worth studying. B. Is hard to realize. C. Seems untrustworthy. D. Sounds very appealing. 9. Which of the following options will participants most possibly refuse? A. A travel package with a 50% discount. B. Being offered cash for taking a lift home. C. A $100 reward for returning one’s lost phone. D. Being given a prize for accepting an interview. 10. What insight can businesses gain from the “cheap flight” experiment? A. Keep prices as low as possible. B. Offer customers a variety of options. C. Give explanations for overgenerous offers. D. Adjust pricing following competitors. 11. What will the researchers investigate in further studies? A. How AI’s responses impact humans’ expectations. B. How AI can be programmed to be more human-like. C. Whether AI can give humans overly generous offers. D. Whether we assume phantom costs in human-AI interactions. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项研究表明，人们会拒绝“天上掉馅饼”式的好处，因觉其有隐藏成本（即“幻影成本”），这与标准经济模型相悖，研究还探讨了减弱该效应的方法及将实验扩展到人机交互的计划。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“If you’re offered a-free cookie, you might say yes. But if you’re paid to eat a free cookie, would your response be the same?(如果有人递给你一块免费的饼干，你可能会欣然接受。但如果有人付钱让你去吃这块免费的饼干，你的反应会一样吗？)”可知，当人们被付钱吃免费饼干时，可能会拒绝并觉得“smells fishy”，后文“In a new study, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” because they seem “too good to be true”.(在一项新的研究中，研究人员发现，人们往往会拒绝“免费获得金钱”的提议，因为他们觉得这些提议“好得不真实”)”提到这种拒绝是因为优惠“看起来好得不像真”（too good to be true），暗示可疑或不可信，故划线短语的意思是“似乎不可信”。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered an additional $2. “People typically infer hidden costs from overly generous offers. In this case, the participants may think the cookies were poisoned,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch.(在最初的实验中，近 40%的参与者随意接受了提供的饼干，而那些额外获得 2 美元奖励的参与者中这一比例约为 20%。“人们通常会从过于慷慨的提议中推断出潜在的隐性成本。在这种情况下，参与者可能会认为这些饼干有毒。”研究的主要作者安德鲁·J·沃纳沙说道)”可知，人们对“过于慷慨”或“反常”优惠的怀疑，尤其是无额外成本却获得高收益的提议（如付钱吃免费饼干），故参与者最有可能拒绝被提出用现金奖励的方式让他们搭乘交通工具回家。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers also showed how to weaken phantom costs’ effect. In one experiment, participants were given three plane tickets for the same flight, respectively costing $235, $275, and $205. Most people chose the $205 ticket. However, if the third option was $15, hardly anyone chose the cheapest one. They rejected it because they imagined horrible phantom costs. However, when the researchers accounted for the incredibly cheap offer — very uncomfortable seats — most participants preferred the $15 flight.(研究人员还展示了如何削弱“幻影成本”的影响。在一项实验中，参与者获得了三张同一航班的机票，价格分别为235美元、275美元和205美元。大多数人选择了205美元的机票。然而，如果第三个选项是15美元，几乎没有人会选择价格最低的那张票。他们拒绝选择它是因为他们想象到了可怕的“幻觉成本”。然而，当研究人员考虑到这个极其便宜的选项——非常不舒服的座位时，大多数参与者更倾向于选择15美元的航班)”可知，企业可通过解释原因（如明确潜在缺点）来消除客户疑虑，提高对“过于慷慨”优惠的接受度。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The scientists are also about to experiment with human and artificial intelligence interactions. “Will people act the same way when AI is overly generous to them?” Vonasch says. “AI is always programmed to appear more human-like and people tend to treat AI agents as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.”(科学家们还将开展有关人类与人工智能互动的实验。沃纳斯奇说：“当人工智能对人们过于慷慨时，人们会做出同样的反应吗？人工智能总是被设定为表现得更像人类，而人们往往会把人工智能代理当作有思维的存在来对待，但实际上它们根本就没有思维。”)”可知，研究人员在后续研究中将会探究我们在人与人工智能的交互过程中是否需要考虑虚拟成本。故选D。 D American YouTube star IShowSpeed, famously nicknamed “Jiakang Ge” for his high-energy live streams, recently introduced 37 million global fans to modern China during his visit from March 24 to 28, 2025.

In the morning, we gathered at the park entrance, equipped with trash bags and gloves. The park, once a lively place, now was messy with rubbish everywhere. As we spread out to handle the mess, my attention was drawn to a boy standing near a stone bench. His old jacket hung loosely on his thin body, as if it had been worn for a long time. He looked around nervously, like a scared animal watching for danger. Suddenly, he moved quickly, grabbing something shiny from the bench and putting it into his pocket. My heart stopped when I realized it was a smooth, silver watch with a leather strap (皮带)—clearly a valuable item. I knew the boy had taken the watch. My first thought was to go to him directly and point out his serious moral (道德上的) mistake, for it was everyone’s responsibility to stand up for honesty and fairness. But when I looked at the boy, I saw fear and hopelessness in his eyes. He was a poor kid, maybe no more than ten years old. I couldn’t help wondering what difficulties might have made him do this. If I reported him to the park office, he might get into serious trouble, maybe negatively affecting his young life. But if I ignored it, it would mean allowing his bad behavior, which went against my belief. I stood there, feeling a strong moral conflict. Just then, the park office began to broadcast, looking for a lost watch. At that, the boy hesitated for a moment, and then disappeared somewhere before I knew it. I shook my head and began to work, but my mind was still on the boy and the watch. That evening, as I lay in bed, the boy’s scared face kept coming to my mind, and I still hadn’t decided what to do. When I arrived at the park the next day, I saw the boy sitting alone on the same bench, even more upset. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We went to the park office at once, telling them we had found a watch. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I arrived at the park the next day,I saw the boy sitting alone on the same bench, even more upset. He looked around nervously as if expecting someone. I approached and said gently “I noticed what happened here yesterday. Can you tell me about it?” His face turned pale. “I...I took that watch,” he whispered with shame, staring at his worn clothes. “I envied other kids’ decent jackets and just wanted to buy one.” Moved by his honesty, I advised him to hand it in to the staff member. He nodded, admitting he’d felt guilty ever since and came back to return the watch. We went to the park office at once, telling them we had found a watch. Seeing the watch, a staff member smiled kindly and praised the boy for his honesty. Then she gave him some money, saying it was a reward from the owner. Feeling embarrassed, he pushed it back, saying “I just want to earn money by myself.” The staff member nodded, offering him a part-time job to collect trash during weekends. As we left, the boy’s face was no longer filled with fear but a newfound resolve, and a bit of hope. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者周末参加社区志愿活动时，发现一个贫困男孩拿走了长椅上的贵重手表，内心陷入道德挣扎：既想维护诚信，又担忧揭发会给男孩带来负面影响。公园广播寻表时男孩消失，作者至今对此事思绪难平。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“第二天我到公园时，看到那个男孩独自坐在同一张长椅上，神情比之前更加沮丧。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：次日作者见男孩在长椅上更沮丧，上前询问，男孩坦言偷表想换外套，作者劝其上交，男孩应允。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们立刻去了公园办公室，告诉工作人员我们捡到了一块手表。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：男孩还表获赞与奖励，他拒绝并愿自食其力，获周末捡垃圾兼职，面露决心与希望。 2.续写线索：再次见到男孩——作者劝其上交表——男孩应允——还表获赞与奖励——拒绝——获兼职 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.期待：expect/anticipate ②.建议：advise/suggest ③.发生：happen/occur/take place 情绪类 ①.不安地：anxiously/nervously /uneasily ②.尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1].

These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list. Royal Academy of Arts（RA）, London Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century. Whitworth, Manchester After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露天平台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions. 1. What is special about Royal Academy of Arts? A. It offers interactive experiences. B. It displays works by senior artists. C. It holds exhibitions in a traditional way. D. It provides a vast space for hosting exhibitions. 2. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common? A. They are small in scale. B. They offer outdoor settings. C. They feature modem works. D. They host exhibitions on an annual basis. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A travel guidebook. B. A film magazine. C. A history book. D. A science report. B It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in. She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end. The starting gun fired. We surged forward, a pack of brightly colored jerseys. The first lap felt surprisingly smooth, but as we rounded the curve into the second lap, the familiar burn started in my lungs. Sarah pulled slightly ahead. “Just keep her in sight,” I told myself, remembering Coach’s words: “Run your own race.” With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!” Something clicked. It wasn’t just about winning against Sarah anymore; it was about pushing myself to my absolute limit, about honoring all those hours of practice. I dug deep, deeper than I ever had before. My arms pumped harder, my stride lengthened, and I focused solely on the finish line ribbon. The pain was intense, but it was pushed aside by sheer determination. The last few meters were a blur. I threw myself forward. As I crossed the line, breathless and wobbly, I had no idea who had won. Then I heard the announcement: “First place ... Mia Johnson!” A wave of disbelief and pure joy washed over me. Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal. That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible. 4. How did Mia feel at the beginning of the race? A. Confident and energetic. B. Focused solely on beating Sarah. C. Excited by the crowd’s noise. D. Doubtful and physically heavy. 5. When the coach shouts “Kick NOW, Mia”, the word “kick” most probably means ________. A. to ignore pain and continue moving B. to strike the ground with one’s foot C. to suddenly increase running speed D. to focus on proper running form 6. What is the symbolic meaning of Sarah offering Mia a handshake after the race? A. It reflects the universal sportsmanship spirit. B. It helps to cover Sarah’s disappointment in losing the race. C. It highlights Mia’s physical superiority. D. It indicates Sarah’s pity for Mia’s effort. 7. What does Mia realize is the most important thing she learned from the race? A. Winning against a strong competitor is the ultimate goal. B. Following Coach’s instructions is crucial for success. C. Her biggest challenge is overcoming her own self-doubt. D. Physical pain is temporary, but medals last forever. C If you’re offered a-free cookie, you might say yes. But if you’re paid to eat a free cookie, would your response be the same? You might politely refuse and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a new study, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” because they seem “too good to be true”. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered an additional $2. “People typically infer hidden costs from overly generous offers. In this case, the participants may think the cookies were poisoned,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch. Further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present common everyday scenes. In each case, past a certain threshold value (阈值), higher potential monetary gain at no cost reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that, against the “standard economic model”, which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, deals need to be understood as social interactions between people trying to read each other’s minds. If someone seems to go against accepted norms without a solid reason, we assume they have hidden purposes and infer there will be “phantom costs (幻影成本)”. The researchers also showed how to weaken phantom costs’ effect. In one experiment, participants were given three plane tickets for the same flight, respectively costing $235, $275, and $205. Most people chose the $205 ticket. However, if the third option was $15, hardly anyone chose the cheapest one. They rejected it because they imagined horrible phantom costs. However, when the researchers accounted for the incredibly cheap offer — very uncomfortable seats — most participants preferred the $15 flight. The scientists are also about to experiment with human and artificial intelligence interactions. “Will people act the same way when AI is overly generous to them?” Vonasch says. “AI is always programmed to appear more human-like and people tend to treat AI agents as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. What does the underlined part “smells fishy” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Is worth studying. B. Is hard to realize. C. Seems untrustworthy. D. Sounds very appealing. 9. Which of the following options will participants most possibly refuse? A. A travel package with a 50% discount. B. Being offered cash for taking a lift home. C. A $100 reward for returning one’s lost phone. D. Being given a prize for accepting an interview. 10. What insight can businesses gain from the “cheap flight” experiment? A. Keep prices as low as possible. B. Offer customers a variety of options. C. Give explanations for overgenerous offers. D. Adjust pricing following competitors. 11. What will the researchers investigate in further studies? A. How AI’s responses impact humans’ expectations. B. How AI can be programmed to be more human-like. C. Whether AI can give humans overly generous offers. D. Whether we assume phantom costs in human-AI interactions. D American YouTube star IShowSpeed, famously nicknamed “Jiakang Ge” for his high-energy live streams, recently introduced 37 million global fans to modern China during his visit from March 24 to 28, 2025. The 20-year-old guy explored Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi’an through unfiltered broadcasts that challenged common Western stereotypes on the country. His journey began in Shanghai’s modern Pudong district. He danced with elderly residents in waterfront parks, sampled street food like app-delivered soup dumplings, and tested Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra electric car. The vehicle’s 1,526-horsepower engine and $70,000 price tag shocked him, shouting repeatedly “This beats Lamborghini!” during a live stream watched by 5.6 million viewers. Audiences around the world noted China’s spotless streets and cutting-edge transportation systems. In Beijing, IShowSpeed immersed himself in cultural traditions. Dressed in local clothes, he performed a backflip on the Great Wall while shouting, “This is living history!” He also enthusiastically learned table tennis from pop icon Jackson Wang and eagerly ate spicy hotpot. His broadcasts highlighted bustling night markets and friendly interactions, with international viewers commenting, “Chinese cities feel safer than our cities.” The streamer repeatedly praised China’s technological infrastructure. During a bullet train ride to Xi’an, he was surprised at uninterrupted 5G connectivity in tunnels and exclaimed, “New York subways can’t even send texts!” His six-hour live stream from Shanghai became living proof of China’s advanced Internet capabilities, surprising viewers who had previously doubted media portrayals. This cultural exchange sparked global discussions. Fans applauded those moments like IShowSpeed singing the viral Chinese song “Sunshine Rainbow White Horse” with locals. While some questioned if scenes were staged in advance, most agreed that his authentic reactions revealed everyday life in China.

In the morning, we gathered at the park entrance, equipped with trash bags and gloves. The park, once a lively place, now was messy with rubbish everywhere. As we spread out to handle the mess, my attention was drawn to a boy standing near a stone bench. His old jacket hung loosely on his thin body, as if it had been worn for a long time. He looked around nervously, like a scared animal watching for danger. Suddenly, he moved quickly, grabbing something shiny from the bench and putting it into his pocket. My heart stopped when I realized it was a smooth, silver watch with a leather strap (皮带)—clearly a valuable item. I knew the boy had taken the watch. My first thought was to go to him directly and point out his serious moral (道德上的) mistake, for it was everyone’s responsibility to stand up for honesty and fairness. But when I looked at the boy, I saw fear and hopelessness in his eyes. He was a poor kid, maybe no more than ten years old. I couldn’t help wondering what difficulties might have made him do this. If I reported him to the park office, he might get into serious trouble, maybe negatively affecting his young life. But if I ignored it, it would mean allowing his bad behavior, which went against my belief. I stood there, feeling a strong moral conflict. Just then, the park office began to broadcast, looking for a lost watch. At that, the boy hesitated for a moment, and then disappeared somewhere before I knew it. I shook my head and began to work, but my mind was still on the boy and the watch. That evening, as I lay in bed, the boy’s scared face kept coming to my mind, and I still hadn’t decided what to do. When I arrived at the park the next day, I saw the boy sitting alone on the same bench, even more upset. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We went to the park office at once, telling them we had found a watch. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
