Let's face it:we are influenced by AI algo-
rithms()when surfing the Internet on a daily
basis.
If you think about it,almost anything you
can possibly click on over the Internet wants to
influence you in some way.Even if it's not an ad-
vertisement and the goal isn't literally to sell you
a product or service,it wants to influence you
somehow,whether it's getting you to think
something,feel something,or do something.
Behind every blogger,YouTube personality,
and social media influencer,there are the compa-
nies that own the platforms these bloggers and in-
fluencers use:YouTube,Meta,TikTok,Insta-
gram,and the rest.Generally speaking,the goal
of these platforms is to keep users on them as of-
ten as possible for as long as possible and this in-
creases the likelihood of those users clicking on
targeted ads.
These platforms use the users'data to serve
the content most likely to arouse their emotions
and keep them engaged.The kind of content
that's effective at keeping people engaged often
happens to be emotionally charged:sensational
(轰动的),controversial,.or misinformative..Un-
fortunately,due to its massive computing power,
AI is very good at understanding your psychology
(often better than you do)and,therefore,using
content that is most likely to "push your but-
tons”.
Obviously,AI itself has no emotions.It
doesn't "want"to influence you or to have power
over you,but it does simply because,in the con-
text of the Internet,that's what it's been pro-
grammed to do.The people who use Al as their
tools are simply trying to accomplish the goal of
any platform or company,which is to be profita-
ble.
In a previous post,I wrote about being data
literate.Well,the first step towards protecting
yourself against AI's influence is to be conscious

[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。我们必须面对
这样一个现实:各大社交媒体平台正在利用人工
智能算法来影响和控制我们,表面看它们是在吸
引我们的注意力,其背后的真实目的自然是利益。
1.B[段落大意题。根据第三段可知,本段作者
列举YouTube,Meta,TikTok,Instagram等这
些社交媒体平台为例,主要说明它们在吸引我
们的注意力,最终目的是增加我们点击广告的
概率。]
2.A[细节理解题。根据第四段可知,社交媒体
上最能有效吸引用户的内容是那些耸人听闻、
有争议或错误的内容,这些内容有一个共同点,
那就是能激发或煽动网友们的各种情绪反应。]

3.D[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,作者
认为,人工智能本身没有情感,也无意影响我们
或调动我们的情绪,真正试图操纵和影响我们
的是社交媒体平台以及背后的公司。且在第三
段,作者指出,社交媒体平台上的那些内容生产
者也是被平台操控的。]
4.C[推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者指
出保护自己不受人工智能影响的第一步是要意
识到这样一个事实一我们生活在注意力经济
中,在这种经济模式中,许多业务发生在想要你
注意力的公司和为它们提供注意力的内容平台
之间。由此可推断,接下来作者可能会继续就
如何进行自我保护给我们提出更多的建议和
措施。]

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍
了坐落在贯穿北京南部的通惠河边的半壁店村的
创新发展。
l.takes[考查时态和主谓一致。句意:半壁店村
坐落在贯穿北京南部的通惠河边,呈现出一种
截然不同的宁静,很少有人来参观。根据句意
及空后并列的谓语部分is visited可知,此处用
一般现在时,又因为主语是Banbidian village,
故用所给动词的第三人称单数形式。故填
takes。J
2.actually[考查副词。句意:但实际上它并不遥
远一大约15分钟车程就到了首都的中央商
务区,那里高楼林立。此处用所给形容词的副
词修饰整个句子,作状语。故填actually。]
3.where[考查定语从句。句意:但实际上它并
不遥远一大约15分钟车程就到了首都的中
央商务区,那里高楼林立。分析句子成分可知,
该空引导的是一个限制性定语从句,先行词是
district,表示地,点,关系词在从句中作地点状
语,故填where。]
4.were removed[考查动词的时态和语态。句
意:一个主要原因是半壁店村过去有工厂,后来
这些工厂被拆除了,留下了空荡荡的车间和院
落,而且这个村子还是几条铁路的交汇处。根
据主句的谓语部分used to及时间状语later可
知,此处用一般过去时,又因为主语factories与
动词remove是被动关系,故此处用一般过去时
的被动语态,主语表示复数意义。故填were re
moved。]
5.to bring[考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,村里
的人和来自艺术大学的人们正在共同努力,将
活力带回半壁店。此处用所给动词的不定式作

7.hoping[考查非谓语动词。句意:与北京内外
的著名艺术学校合作,村委会最近向世界各地
的艺术家发出了邀请,希望他们能贡献自己的
创造力,丰富半壁店的新景观。分析句子成分
可知,该空用非谓语动词,动词hope与其逻辑

处用所给动词的现在分词,作伴随状语。故填
hoping。]
8.on[考查介词。句意:提交的作品和公共艺术
计划从3月20日开始,一直持续到4月15日,
入围者将与其他作品一起在几个户外场所展
出。此处指在具体的某一天,故填on。]

是半壁店和中央美术学院在2019年联合推出
的一个文化品牌,旨在探索有助于将该村转变
为新的创意基地的项目和活动。分析句子成分
可知,该空用非谓语动词,动词launch与其逻辑
主语a cultural brand存在动宾关系,故此处用
所给动词的过去分词;launched by Banbidian
and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2019
是过去分词短语作后置定语。故填launched。]
10.a[考查冠词。句意:艺术BBD是半壁店和中
央美术学院在2019年联合推出的一个文化品

Ⅲ.读后续写
Summer vacation approaching,David had
thoughtfully planned to do a few meaningful things
with his friends.Roy was the first to support him.
Five of them decided to organize a long-dis-
tance cycle ride.According to the original plan,
they departed from the riverbank ferry at 7 a.m.
on Tuesday on time.However,on Monday
night,there was a rainstorm in this area,which
led to flooding.Fortunately,the weather cleared up
soon and it wouldn't affect their arrangements.
It was 8:30,but the other three didn't ar-
rive.David and Roy were anxiously waiting.Fi-
nally,the three turned up exhausted.
“We had to come round a long way,”said
Robert."The old bridge over the stream had col-
lapsed.”
"And that means we had to ride an extra
quarter of a mile and use the other bridge,"added
Henry."The stream must be nearly five feet deep
after all this rain.”
“Don't worry,”said David.“The Town
Council will soon build another one.
“Ohno,”replied Henry quickly.“My father
has asked about that.There isn't enough money
this year.”
The boys were silent.That meant that their
original plan had to be readjusted.
“I wonder who built that old bridge,”said
Robert."It was only a few tree trunks and logs
held together with some nails.Then an idea
struck him.“Do you think we could rebuild it?”
“You know..”David paused.“I think we
can do it,if we plan it properly and can borrow
the tools.”

第二部分人与社会
The boys started to consider the idea serious-
ly.Sammy told them that his elder brother
worked in the Public Works Department and
could probably make a plan for them.
Their greatest problem was to find enough
logs.The next day the boys visited nearly every
house.In the evening,they gathered.
“I must tell you this,”David burst out.
"Mr.Robinson,our mayor,has promised to sup-
ply logs as long as we do the work and finish it
within a month.He thanked us for our volunteer
behavior and instructed us to pay attention to
safety..”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Mr.Robinson kept his promise and sent
enough logs.
Nearby residents decided on an opening cere-
mony for the new bridge.
[参考范文]
Mr.Robinson kept his promise and sent
enough logs.As the materials arrived,the boys
felt a surge of excitement mixed with a hint of
nervousness.They knew the task ahead would be
challenging,but they were determined to see it
through.With the support of their families and
the encouragement of the community,they set
out to rebuild the bridge,their youthful energy
driving them forward despite any obstacles that
lay ahead.They worked tirelessly,planning,
measuring,and constructing.Finally,the bridge
was completed.
Nearby residents decided on an opening cer-
emony for the new bridge.They gathered to-
gether,along with Mr.Robinson and other town
officials,to celebrate the boys'achievement.
With speeches expressing gratitude and admira-
tion,the community praised the boys for their in-
itiative and hard work.The boys stood proudly,
knowing they had made a lasting impact on their
community and forged bonds that would endure
for years to come.
