Psychologists suggest several specific strategies for managing anxiety about generative AI.These include:trying out AI tools to figure out how and where they can be useful;taking breaks from technology to restore and recharge;building new skills;and pursuing activities that activate human creativity and imagination. I would like to expand on the third strategy—building new skills.In a recent study,my colleagues and I investigated the skills required to succeed in the future of work.We reviewed six studies and identified 10 key skills:cooperation,communication,creativity and innovation,critical thinking,cross-cultural ability,decision-making,judgment,willingness to learn,problem-solving,and social intelligence cognition(认知).Importantly,all these skills are “human” skills,meaning not digital or technological.In their context,perhaps one of the most effective responses to anxiety about AI is focusing on developing our own human abilities. While researchers argue that the destructive potential of AI in the workplace involves one of three channels:replacing aspects of human work;complementing(补充) or enhancing human workers and their skills;and creating new tasks for workers,the second might be the best path forward.Rather than viewing generative AI only as a threat,it can be seen as a tool that enhances human abilities. Exploring how our own cognitive and creative capacities could be enhanced through “cooperative intelligence” with generative AI might be a useful cure-all to being anxious about it. 1.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A.AI tools replace traditional jobs. B.AI progress causes emotional stress. C.AI systems require complex routines. D.AI research faces growing resistance. 2.What does the author imply in paragraph 3? A.Digital skills ensure future success. B.Human capacities remain highly valuable. C.New technology changes research methods. D.Social intelligence improves work efficiency. 3.What does the underlined word “cure-all” in the last paragraph mean? A.Solution. B.Material. C.Principle. D.Instrument. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To analyze AI’s rapid development. B.To illustrate people’s anxiety over AI. C.To offer us advice to meet AI challenges. D.To inform us of the threats presented by AI.

My parents supported my interest,but they always told me not to let my schoolwork get worse because of the competition.Some of my classmates also didn’t believe in my plan.They thought my idea was too simple to get praise from the teachers who would judge the work. But I was sure I could finish it well.I used all my free time to collect useful information,change the difficult steps and make every part of the app better.However,three days before the competition ended,I met a big problem:my laptop broke down suddenly.All the files and codes I saved might be lost forever.I felt very upset and worried.I looked at the black screen and thought all my hard work was for nothing.I even wanted to give up the whole project. My grandmother saw how sad I was.She always encouraged me to follow my dreams.She came to comfort me and told me about her hard life when she was young.She said being hard-working,calm and strong was very important to solve problems. Her words made me feel better at once.I went to ask my computer teacher for help.Luckily,the teacher helped me get back most of the important information and gave me good ideas about the app.Time was very short,so I stayed up late for two nights to make the program again and improve all its functions.On the day of the competition,I walked onto the stage confidently.I showed my app to the judges and told them how helpful it was for old people. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The moment I finished my presentation,the whole hall fell into dead silence. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 After the award ceremony,my grandmother hugged me tightly,with pride shining in her eyes. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.intensify v.　　　　　　　  2.investigate v.　　　　　　　  二、熟词生义 channel　本文义:n.　　　　　　　  其他义:n.　　　　　　　  三、词块速记 1.in daily routines 　　　　　　　　　　　  2.expand on 　　　　　　　  四、长难句分析 What distinguishes the two models,however,is that the new machine learning model assesses how these initial conditions will influence future weather based on its knowledge of how the weather has evolved in the past. 分析:本句为　　　　　　　　句。What distinguishes the two models 为　　　　　从句,that the new machine...in the past 为　　　　　从句;在表语从句中,how...weather 作 assesses 的　　　　　,based on...in the past 为过去分词短语作　　　　　　　　,其中 how the weather had evolved in the past 作介词 of 的　　　　　从句。  句意:  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.clue　2.consistent　3.cited　4.assess　5.mechanical Ⅱ.1.in　2.desperation　3.to rise　4.on　5.in Ⅲ.1.so that her performance at the concert moved everyone to tears 2.Exhausted though they were 3.as though it had known her for years 4.It was not until he failed the exam that Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了面对人工智能引发的焦虑,作者提出的应对策略及建议。 1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中“As AI becomes more capable and widespread in daily routines,anxieties surrounding it are likely to intensify.”可知,作者在第一段中指出了人工智能的进步引起了情绪上的压力这一现象。故选B项。 2.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中“We reviewed six studies and identified 10 key skills...all these skills are ‘human’ skills,meaning not digital or technological.”可知,作者在第三段暗示了人类的能力仍然具有很高的价值。故选B项。 3.A　词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Exploring how our own cognitive and creative capacities could be enhanced through ‘cooperative intelligence’ with generative AI might be a useful cure-all to being anxious about it.”可知,探索如何通过与生成式人工智能的“合作智能”来增强我们自己的认知和创造能力,可能是一个有用的解决焦虑的办法。由此可知,cure-all意为“解决办法”。故选A项。 4.C　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段内容可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是为我们提供应对人工智能挑战的建议。故选C项。 Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了欧洲新的人工智能驱动的天气预报模型于周二投入使用,有望显著改善全球气象和极端天气预测。 1.promising　考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语became,空处在句中作非谓语动词,动词promise与主语之间是主动关系,用现在分词作伴随状语。故填promising。 2.to use　考查非谓语动词。句中已有is,空处需要用非谓语形式,model前面有the first修饰,后边要使用动词不定式作定语,表示“第一个做某事的……”。故填to use。 3.with　考查介词。结合语意可知,此处表示“与……并行”,短语为side by side with。故填with。 4.combination　考查名词。空处作宾语,表示“组合”应用名词combination,此处特指相同数据组合,应用单数。故填combination。 5.collected　考查非谓语动词。空处在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语data构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填collected。 6.is　考查时态和主谓一致。根据distinguishes可知,句子使用一般现在时,主语为What引导的主语从句,be动词使用is。故填is。 7.has evolved　考查时态和主谓一致。根据后文in the past以及语意可知,此处强调过去的动作对现在的影响,应使用现在完成时;主语是the weather,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填has evolved。 8.and　考查连词。complementary与空格后的part of之间是并列关系,应使用并列连词and连接,即as complementary and (as) part of...。故填and。 9.what　考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指物,故用what引导。故填what。 10.currently　考查副词。空处修饰形容词reliable,应用副词currently,作状语。故填currently。 Ⅵ.Aiming to foster students’ critical thinking about AI and deepen their understanding of technological impacts,the Student Union organized a debate on “AI,our friend or our enemy?” last weekend. The debate kicked off with two teams presenting their arguments.The pro side emphasized that AI enhances learning efficiency and provides convenient solutions for study.The con side argued that relying on AI too much might weaken independent thinking.Both teams exchanged ideas fiercely,analyzing the benefits and challenges of AI application. The activity was well-received by all participants.Not only did it broaden students’ horizons on AI,but also it encouraged them to balance AI use with independent thinking. Ⅶ.The moment I finished my presentation,the whole hall fell into dead silence.Soon,warm and loud applause burst out everywhere.The judges smiled and commented that my app was practical and full of kindness for the elderly.I stood quietly on the stage,filled with pure joy and gentle relief.Many classmates craned their necks and cheered for me.Those who once doubted my idea now showed sincere admiration.All the tiredness from staying up late and repeated failures gradually disappeared at this moment.  After the award ceremony,my grandmother hugged me tightly,with pride shining in her eyes.I grasped my prize carefully and expressed my heartfelt thanks to her.Her warm words calmed my anxiety and inspired me to rebuild confidence in tough times.This unforgettable experience leaves me a precious lesson.Whenever I face setbacks in the future,I will choose to be calm and persistent,bravely move forward and finally gain beautiful rewards through constant efforts.  知识积累卡 一、1.加剧;增强　2.调查;研究 二、途径;方式　频道;渠道 三、1.在日常生活中　2.详细阐述 四、主从复合　主语　表语　宾语　方式状语　宾语 然而,这两种模型的区别在于,新的机器学习模型会基于其对过去天气演变规律的认知,评估这些初始条件将如何影响未来的天气。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
