This decline invites several explanations. Some blame its complicated language; others point to the rise of visual media. Whatever the cause, poetry seems increasingly irrelevant in modern society. A key barrier is accessibility. Readers today often find poetry difficult due to abstract language, complex symbolism, or historical references. For instance, Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is the thing with feathers” requires readers to decipher symbolic language, which can be too demanding for today’s readers. In contrast, a short video delivering a similar message in an engaging, straightforward way is far more accessible. Moreover, other forms of entertainment — music, movies, streaming platforms — have shifted people’s focus from written text to video, images and interactive content. These formats combine storytelling with attractive audio-visual elements, making them more appealing. In an era of constant digital distraction, people prefer quick, digestible content like social media posts. Poetry, which demands focused thought, seems outdated and less attractive. Furthermore, digital habits discourage deep reading. A 2018 report by the American Psychological Association (APA) study found fewer than 20% of U.S. teens read books daily for pleasure, while 80% use social media. Since poetry relies on deep reading and reflection — skills rarely practiced today — its consumption naturally declines. Yet poetry is adapting. Digitalization makes poems more approachable: poets share works on social media, reaching global audiences instantly. Lighthearted, humorous poetry is rising without sacrificing artistic quality. For instance, Shel Silverstein’s poems are playful and whimsical (异想天开的), yet they contain creative expressions that help readers reflect upon life in deep ways. Whether poetry will fade away or come back in new forms remains unclear. The answer lies in narrowing the gap between its traditional and modern forms and finding ways to draw a wider audience. As the world evolves, so must poetry if it wishes to survive and thrive (发展). 1．What does the underlined word “decipher” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Understand. B．Adopt. C．Generate. D．Rewrite. 2．What makes poetry less popular according to the text? A．Poetry is becoming increasingly difficult to translate. B．Audio-visual entertainment has great appeal to people. C．Young people lose the ability to conduct deep thinking. D．Digital reading replaces book reading on a large scale. 3．Why are Shel Silverstein’s poems mentioned in paragraph 5? A．To introduce a topic. B．To illustrate a phenomenon. C．To support a viewpoint. D．To argue against an opinion. 4．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Poetry is bound to attract more audience. B．Poetry is supposed to remain its characteristics. C．Poetry needs variety and richness in its language forms. D．Poetry should balance between tradition and modernity. Passage 2 Have you ever escaped taking on a role or opportunity because you didn’t feel confident enough? Perhaps the voice in your head asked: “Why me? I am not yet ready, not capable enough, or don’t have enough experience.” If you can relate, you’re among the majority of women with whom I’ve worked. I recently asked more than 120 women, from areas including the U.S., UK, Australia, Georgia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If you’ve ever avoided risks, what factors and reasons contributed to this? More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor. As one well­known executive told me: “Every day I doubt myself. I doubt that I am good enough to be where I am.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise. We know self­doubt is a pervasive and often paralyzing concern, particularly for women. A study by psychologists at Cornell and Washington State highlighted higher levels of self­doubt in women. Research has also shown that women will apply for a job only if they meet all of the qualifications, while men will apply when they fulfill only 60%. Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability. Ultimately, men take more chances on themselves, and that pays dividends in the long run. While this pattern of self­doubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactions, and my client work, I also noticed another commonality: These women’s self­doubts weren’t sabotaging their success. The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt. What these women also had in common is courage in the absence of confidence — a trait that is often weaponized against women and used to explain why they fail to achieve career goals. My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”. “As women, we often feel like we have to be 100% ready in order to move forward. But, if you are 50% or 75% there, jump. Just do it,” said Megan Costello, former executive director of the Boston Mayor’s Office for Women’s Advancement. 1．What is the real factor for women to escape taking on a role? A．Higher risks. B．Different beliefs. C．Inner feelings. D．Related experiences. 2．What is typical of women in terms of self­promotion? A．They tend to be less optimistic. B．They prefer to be well qualified. C．They try to be favorably assessed. D．They hope to be clearly identified. 3．Which can best replace the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 5? A．Promoting. B．Weakening. C．Achieving. D．Balancing. 4．How do women with self­doubts succeed? A．By keeping themselves weaponized. B．By ignoring fears and doubts. C．By stopping questioning their readiness. D．By being bold and, decisive. Passage 3 Slop is a new way to describe mass-produced, low-quality content. The term has been popularized by artificial intelligence. Developer Simon Willison shared the concept: “Not all AI-generated content is slop. But if it’s mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn’t ask for it, slop is the perfect term.” Today slop’s critical tone is increasingly aimed at all things AI, treating it as a cultural pollutant. But by unthinkingly dismissing all of it, we risk missing out on the minority of creations that truly deserve to be kept. Mass-produced culture has a long, messy history. One notable slop moment came after Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press in Europe. The device — the ChatGPT of the 1450s — allowed the mass production of cheap printed material. Some of this material was nonsense, but much of it entertained and educated the masses. In the early 1700s, a growing reading public created steady demand for text, giving rise to Grub Street — the slop generator of its time. People laughed at Grub Street even as its writers built the first modern freelance (自由职业) economy and mass-print culture. The 20th-century cinema boom followed a similar pattern. Production demands generated a great deal of waste, yet this effort also laid the foundation for the motion-picture industry. In all of these situations, the point wasn’t to create masterpieces; it was to create rapidly and cheaply. But the production of new types of slop allows more people to participate. The current wave of AI-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero, while the cost for other people is high in terms of cognitive burden. So we must identify and take advantage of what stands out so that we can better discourage what doesn’t. The word “slop” helps us do that when it is used correctly. Calling everything worthless is a misguided attempt to dam the flood rather than channel it. If “culture is ordinary”, then the ordinary act of making on a large scale will always include waste. But it’ll also produce the seeds of the next thing we’ll decide to keep. 1．According to paragraph 1, which of the following is an example of “slop”? A．An AI-generated poem that pops up on your phone. B．A historical essay printed by a modern publisher. C．A low-budget film made by a famous filmmaker. D．A novel written by ChatGPT upon request. 2．What do the examples in paragraph 2 illustrate? A．History is sometimes largely unreliable. B．Mass-produced culture has long been a complex issue. C．Mass-produced culture received widespread criticism. D．Technological advances underwent a difficult process. 3．What has fueled today’s slop boom? A．Public demand for AI. B．Faster information flow. C．Better digital access. D．Lower production costs. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Slop in AI: A Growing Problem. B．Slop and Mass Production: Past and Future. C．The Slop Cycle: Trash or Treasure. D．Slop in History: An Art Phenomenon. Passage 4 What can novelists learn from non-fiction? The greatest imagination is often fired with the depth of material that research offers. Sure, you can imagine anything, but readers will not necessarily believe anything. Truth doesn’t have to be true, but it does have to be credible (We’ve all read something unrealistic that the author insists “really happened!”). I’ve written a few historical novels, including a series based in early Victorian London. That kind of fiction requires a lot of research just at the level of what people wear, eat and how they live their lives. Then you need location details: buildings, streets, smells, sounds, etc. It looks laborious but it’s almost as much fun as the actual writing. I spent months reading books and newspapers produced in the 1840s. The novel’s plot would be mine, but everything it rested on was pure historical research. Anthony Burgess was once waiting to meet his publisher in London and decided to leaf through a pile of the newest bestselling thrillers on the reception’s coffee table. He noted that each book was based on a specific subject area — avalanches (雪崩), oil-drilling work — and understood that readers don’t just want a story. They also want to learn something about an unknown subject. They want fiction and non-fiction combined. I’ve also written history. I already knew about the history of the Greek town I’d decided to focus on, but I wanted to make it appealing to the general reader using the techniques I’d used in fiction. The result was mostly an experiment in structure. I decided to tell the history in a non-chronological (非按时间顺序的) way, focusing instead on themes that would allow me to group different and individual stories in ways that would hold together like chapters in fiction. The whole history would be told eventually, but it would come together gradually like a plot rather than “in order” as it happened. As such, it appeared to be almost like a novel, though everything in it is history. 1．What quality should a novel carry according to paragraph 1? A．Readability. B．Reliability. C．Authenticity. D．Originality. 2．What did the research into Victorian London serve to ensure? A．Visual presentation. B．Identity exploration. C．Theme relevance. D．Historical accuracy. 3．What do readers expect from a book according to Anthony Burgess? A．Novel content. B．Varied settings. C．Thrilling elements. D．Immersive experience. 4．How did the author tell the history of the Greek town? A．By following the timeline. B．By respecting historical events. C．By combining facts and fantasy. D．By adopting a fictional organization. Passage 5 Climate scientists often warn the public about the risks of global warming. While concern is necessary, the professional pessimism of some may convey misleading messages to policymakers and the public. Ahead of the crucial UN summit in France, more than 150 countries have submitted plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An assessment of these suggests that global annual emissions of greenhouse gases in 2030 will reach between 55 and 60 billion tonnes. This has led some climate scientists to declare that staying below the 2℃ warming limit, and hence avoiding dangerous climate change, is impossible. But the evidence indicates that it is achievable, even without large-scale negative-emissions projects, such as bio-energy with carbon capture and storage. The Emissions Gap Report, published by the UN Environment Programme, analysed scenarios (情境) outlined in the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It found 16 scenarios that resulted in a 50 to 66 percent chance of avoiding warming beyond 2℃. These paths do not rely on future large-scale technologies to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Instead, they are based on steady and reasonable emission cuts beginning in 2010 and continuing without major delay. These require annual emissions to drop from the current 50 to 53 billion tonnes to 36 billion by 2030, 27 billion by 2050, and 14 billion by 2100. This is technically possible, even if it needs more action. Governments recognise the gap between present commitments and an emissions pathway that avoids dangerous climate change. It is likely that the Paris Agreement will initiate a process through which governments will scale up their emission-cut efforts, acknowledging that what is on the table now should be a floor, not a ceiling, for reductions. Therefore, climate scientists should help governments and the public understand what must be done to have a reasonable chance of staying below 2℃ instead of spreading doubt. 1．What is some climate scientists’ attitude to staying below the 2℃ warming limit? A．Tolerant. B．Favorable. C．Optimistic. D．Pessimistic. 2．Why does the author mention the Emissions Gap Report? A．To illustrate a crucial scientific concept. B．To emphasize the target is unacceptable. C．To argue against some scientists’ view. D．To highlight the impact of climate change. 3．What should governments do based on the Paris Agreement? A．Make more efforts to cut emissions. B．Rely on large-scale technologies. C．Delay emissions cuts until 2050. D．Sign a new contract among countries. 4．What is the author’s opinion on dangerous climate change? A．It is quite easy to address. B．It is subject to advances in technology. C．It is an unsolvable problem. D．It is avoidable with the right approach. Passage 6 The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into academic settings has sparked a contentious debate, often polarizing educators into two camps: the prohibitionists who advocate for a complete ban to preserve intellectual integrity, and the enthusiasts who champion its use as a revolutionary learning tool. However, a more nuanced perspective suggests that the core issue is not the technology itself, but the pedagogical framework that governs its application. The responsible use of AI in education should be viewed through the lens of cognitive offloading — a process where we delegate certain mental tasks to external tools, much like using a calculator for complex arithmetic. The danger, therefore, does not lie in the act of using AI, but in the nature of the interaction. Superficial engagement, where students simply input a prompt and copy the output, constitutes a failure of learning, as it bypasses the critical stages of problem-solving and synthesis. Conversely, a sophisticated interaction involves a recursive dialogue, where the student interrogates the AI’s suggestions, identifies logical fallacies, and refines the output based on their own conceptual understanding. In this scenario, the AI transforms from an oracle that provides answers into a Socratic partner that stimulates deeper inquiry. This process aligns with the “zone of proximal development”, where the AI acts as a scaffold to support the learner in achieving a cognitive level they could not reach independently. Nevertheless, this model presupposes a level of epistemic maturity — the ability to critically evaluate the source and validity of information — that many students have yet to develop. AI models are inherently probabilistic; they generate responses based on patterns in data, not on verifiable truth. Consequently, an over-reliance on AI without rigorous verification can lead to the internalization of subtle inaccuracies or biased perspectives embedded within the training data. The real pedagogical challenge, then, is to cultivate a culture of “trust but verify”, where AI is utilized as a provisional draft generator, but the ultimate responsibility for accuracy, originality, and ethical reasoning remains firmly with the human intellect. 1．What does the author imply by comparing AI use to “cognitive offloading” in paragraph 1? A．It is a natural extension of human intellectual evolution. B．Its effectiveness depends on the user’s existing knowledge base. C．It risks weakening our fundamental mental capabilities. D．Its value is determined by the educational purpose it serves. 2．The author mentions “recursive dialogue” in paragraph 2 primarily to ________. A．illustrate a method that ensures the AI’s output is factually correct B．distinguish a productive application from a passive one C．recommend it as a strategy to reduce study time D．argue that AI should replace traditional Socratic teaching 3．According to the passage, the primary obstacle to using AI as a “Socratic partner” is that ________. A．most AI models are not designed for interactive dialogue B．students often lack the critical thinking skills required for such engagement C．the “zone of proximal development” is difficult to achieve with technology D．educators are resistant to changing their pedagogical frameworks 4．Which of the following best summarizes the author’s stance on AI in education? A．AI should be strictly regulated to prevent academic dishonesty. B．The integration of AI should prioritize technological advancement over traditional methods. C．The educational merit of AI is contingent upon the cultivation of critical evaluation habits. D．The primary benefit of AI is its efficiency in generating preliminary research drafts. Passage 7 Most people naturally trust doctors, assuming their expertise is rooted in years of treating real patients. Imagine a doctor who had never actually examined a human body, acquiring knowledge only from millions of medical texts. Although their explanations might still sound convincing, you are bound to question their genuine understanding. Yet, we rarely apply this distrust to Large Language Models (LLMs) like Deepseek when seeking medical advice. We are often misled by their fluent responses, assuming they comprehend complex issues as humans do. This raises a critical question: Do these models truly reason (推理), or do they merely imitate human reasoning? To find it out, my colleagues and I conducted experiments comparing how humans and LLMs perform differently when faced with tasks requiring judgments. We presented both humans and LLMs with news headlines and moral dilemmas. When checking if a piece of news is true, humans tend to rely on common sense, basic facts, and real-world experience. However, LLMs simply check their massive database of input texts to see how often certain words appear together in specific contexts. A similar difference appeared in moral questions. Humans decide right and wrong based on social rules and feelings. In contrast, models merely copy the language patterns they have “read” before. In a word, humans understand the real world, whereas LLMs just piece together words from their input. Across the tasks, a consistent pattern emerges: where a human judges, a model correlates. This creates what we call “epistemia” — a dangerous misconception where the imitation of knowledge looks exactly like true understanding. The real danger is that models cannot form beliefs or tell the difference between what is actually true and what merely sounds reasonable. What should a reader do with this knowledge? Our advice is to seek a clearer understanding of what they can and cannot do, treating them as helpful assistants requiring constant human oversight (监督), because they lack access to what judgment ultimately depends on: the world itself. 1．Why does the author mention “a doctor” in Paragraph 1? A．To emphasize the expertise of LLMs. B．To present the distrust from patients. C．To outline the medical training process. D．To introduce the potential issue of LLMs. 2．What did the researchers aim to figure out? A．How fluently LLMs can answer questions. B．What helps people handle moral dilemmas. C．Whether LLMs possess reasoning ability. D．Why people blindly follow medical advice. 3．How do LLMs deal with tasks requiring judgments? A．By connecting with human feelings. B．By imitating linguistic patterns. C．By relying on firsthand experience. D．By applying basic social rules. 4．What does the author advise users to do regarding LLMs? A．Keep a clear awareness of their limits. B．Leave ultimate judgments to them. C．Provide them with real-world access. D．Treat them as engines of understanding. Passage 8 Today’s teachers face a tough situation with generative AI. New tools are appearing rapidly, from personalized tutors for students to lesson planners and graders for teachers. Schools are traditionally slow to adapt to change, which makes such rapid-fire developments especially destabilizing. This AI wave hits when teachers are already struggling. They lack time and resources while facing high expectations for both academic results and students’ emotional growth. Many are exhausted and leaving the profession. This matters because teacher quality is the top factor in student success, especially for disadvantaged kids. How teachers use AI could decide whether it narrows or widens existing fairness gaps in education. Research on public school teachers shows mixed feelings about AI. Interviews with 22 teachers in a diverse U. S. school district reveal both hope and worry. Many appreciate AI as a “thought partner.” Creating lesson plans with AI saves time and reduces stress. One teacher noted it improved work-life balance and provided support when feeling isolated. However, not all teachers feel ready. A major problem is the lack of training and planning time. Learning a new tool takes effort, and many schools don’t offer enough professional support. Studies show that schools with fewer resources are less able to help teachers use new tech effectively. As a result, well-funded schools can better support their staff, which often makes educational inequalities worse. Teachers also emphasized that AI cannot replace the human connection in education. A machine can provide information, but many students still need teachers’ guidance, encouragement, and communication to truly learn. A good teacher does more than share knowledge; he or she builds relationships with students. All in all, teachers are crucial in determining how and whether AI, like all new technologies, is used to support their teaching and student learning. That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater. 1．What does the underlined word “destabilizing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Causing disorder and loss of balance. B．Making teaching more challenging now. C．Giving teachers extra work and pressure. D．Speeding up the process of school change. 2．What matters most to students’ success according to the text? A．Students’ effort. B．Teacher quality. C．School resources. D．Advanced AI tools. 3．What is the author’s main concern regarding the AI wave in education? A．It will eventually replace human teachers. B．It might weaken the teacher-student relationship. C．It reduces students’ emotional growth. D．It may widen existing educational inequalities. 4．What determines whether AI narrows the fairness gap? A．The financial support schools can offer. B．The speed of AI technology development. C．How teachers integrate AI into their work. D．The academic pressure students are facing. Passage 9 The caption reads: You live alone and have no friends, so this is how you spend your Friday night. In the video, a woman enters a neat apartment, pours a glass of wine, and relaxes on the sofa, looking peaceful and content. This type of content is created by so-called “loneliness influencers,” who present solitude (独处) as comfort and freedom rather than something to avoid. While being able to enjoy your own company is psychologically healthy, romanticizing friendlessness, isolation (孤独), and loneliness can be problematic. A recent article in The Atlantic provides a glimpse into how these individuals view their peaceful lives, with hashtags like #cozyathome and #alonenotlonely. But there is a catch: social media only captures brief moments, and interpreting isolation as aesthetics (美学) can dilute the significance of belonging and community. Research suggests loneliness is at epidemic levels, with 38% of U. S. adults reporting moderate-to-severe loneliness in 2022. The Surgeon General’s 2023 report concluded that loneliness and social isolation increase the risk for early death, stroke, depression and dementia. Based on the potential negative outcomes, it seems to be anything but romantic or “trendy”. According to Abraham Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs,” love and belonging come immediately after physiological needs and safety needs. Maslow’s theory of human needs dates back to 1943 and has been widely accepted in the psychology field since. To be fair, there have certainly been positive mental health and self-care messages that influencers have helped bring to the mainstream, but sometimes their content unintentionally promotes unhealthy concepts and ideas. We need to look no further than the classic and current research to see that a promotion of loneliness and isolation comes with significant risks, which casts doubt on the beautified portrayal on social media. Our current culture of influencers brings to mind an ancient Latin phrase: caveat emptor, or “let the buyer be cautious.” It is on us as the consumer to determine the quality of a product before purchasing it. Over time, this has become applicable to social media. 1．What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Reveal. B．Evaluate. C．Highlight. D．Cheapen. 2．What does the author stress by referring to the “Hierarchy of Needs”? A．The impacts of isolation. B．The significance of psychology. C．The differences of human needs. D．The necessity of social connection. 3．Why does the author mention the Latin phrase? A．To offer a solution. B．To sound a warning. C．To clarify a theory. D．To promote a product. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Rise of Influencer Culture B．The Trend of Enjoying Living Alone C．Hidden Risks of Loneliness Aesthetics D．Health Problems Caused by Social Media Passage 10 With AI offering convenient ways to access knowledge, students no longer rely only on the classroom to learn. The traditional lecture-centered approach is no longer sufficient. Students, teachers and administrators must recognize a fundamental reality: within three to five years, research in highly innovative disciplines will be dramatically different from today. Schools that cling to traditional approaches will struggle to maintain their strengths. Research suggests that in the AI era, students should prioritize skills such as language proficiency, problem-solving, critical thinking, and human-AI collaboration. This calls for a comprehensive overhaul of curricula and talent cultivation models. Traditional disciplines need to embrace intelligent transformation and foster greater interdisciplinary integration. In traditional schools, the brightest students have been regarded as the most capable. But when AI outperforms humans in many tasks, a more important question emerges: who can be trusted and is willing to take responsibility? This is precisely where humans remain irreplaceable. AI has no lived experience of consequences and cannot assume responsibility. Schools should invest in character education and innovation projects that solve real-world problems, cultivating graduates who are trustworthy and capable of taking responsibility. Future talents will need the ability to define problems independently, adapt knowledge to real-world contexts, and integrate insights across disciplines. These are among the scarcest capabilities in education today and ones AI cannot directly provide. In the AI age, young people’s core competitiveness is shifting from acquiring knowledge quickly to defining problems deeply, and from remembering right answers to asking original questions. Only teachers who embrace change can serve as role models. Human-AI collaboration has become the new normal and is reshaping education. Universities should provide cutting-edge AI tools and platforms while embedding AI safety principles and ethical standards into teaching. AI may surpass instructors in knowledge breadth. This compels teacher education institutions to rethink the teacher’s role. In the future, teachers must help students work effectively with AI. An outstanding teacher will need to be an instructor who imparts knowledge, cultivates character, and guides students in human-AI collaboration. 1．What does the underlined word “overhaul” mean in paragraph 3? A．Gradual update. B．Minor regulation. C．Careful review. D．Complete reform. 2．What change does the AI era bring to education? A．Knowledge acquisition matters less. B．The definition of a capable student is shifting. C．Classroom teaching is losing its value. D．Traditional disciplines are being simplified. 3．What is a characteristic of the future teacher in the passage? A．Performing multiple tasks. B．Prioritizing academics. C．Cultivating their character. D．Encouraging innovation. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Where the future of human ability truly lies. B．Whether technology is changing how people learn. C．How education should be reformed to fit the AI era. D．Why schools must rethink what makes a top student. Passage 11 A mom recently laughed while telling us, “By week two of summer, I had a color-coded plan. By week three, my son had quietly ignored all of it.” And honestly, that’s often the case. Summer has a funny way of exposing the gap between what we plan and what we actually need. For most teens, this season is not just a break from school but a reset for mental health, sleep, and identity. Yet the pressure to stay productive sneaks in, summer goals, skill building, internships... a strict and detailed to-do list. Here is the thing: a balanced summer routine does not mean doing everything; it means choosing what matters. One teen we spoke to said she started keeping “two good things a day” instead of a to-do list. Sometimes it was finishing a chapter, sometimes just getting out of bed before noon, small wins, but real ones. Parents can support this by shifting the conversation from results to rhythm. Ask how the day felt, not just what got done. That small shift builds trust and lowers pressure. At the same time, a little structure can help summer not turn into one long scroll session. Think gentle growth, not strict schedules. A simple trick is the “half and half” approach, half the day for something that adds value, reading, helping at home, learning something small, and half for relaxation, friends, or doing absolutely nothing. Yes, doing nothing counts. Teens need boredom more than we admit; it is where creativity and self-discovery quietly grow. Parents, try being a sounding board instead of a supervisor; maybe a quick weekly check-in over pizza works better than daily reminders. And teens, it is okay if your summer is not aesthetic or perfectly planned. The real goal is to feel rested, a bit more confident, and still connected to your people. Because when school starts again, what stays is not the checklist — it is the feeling that you had a summer that was actually yours. 1．Why do most teens fail to stick to the summer plan? A．They forget their goals. B．Their plans are too strict. C．They don’t have much free time. D．Their summer activities are boring. 2．What does the “half and half” method mean? A．Half at home, half outside. B．Half for growth, half for rest. C．Half alone, half with friends. D．Half for study, half for sports. 3．What role does the author advise parents to play in summer? A．A strict reminder. B．A task planner. C．A supportive listener. D．A summer tutor. 4．What is the most suitable title for the passage? A．Your Summer, Your Way B．How to Make a Summer Plan C．Doing Nothing: Doing Everything D．The Gap Between Rest and Productivity Passage 12 In the digital age, the art of writing by hand has slowly been reduced to mere entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is crucial to brain health and development, offering multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we reconsidered the potential benefits it may bring to our mental capacities. According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections that are essential for encoding new information and forming memories. A recent investigation, for instance, found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand than for those who typed. Therefore, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on brain health. Handwriting is not only good for our brain health — it also has clear, practical advantages. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This finding extends beyond the classroom as well. People who recorded information on paper calendars displayed more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, consequently, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks. Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been in decline. However, 25 states in the US have reintroduced it into school curricula. This represents a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential for children’s brain development. For example, illiterate children who wrote by hand showed brain activity in the circuit used for learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development. Clearly, handwriting is a valuable activity with the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard,remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead. 1．What is the common view of handwriting in today’s digital era? A．It is no longer as popular as it used to be. B．It should be taught together with typing. C．It is now valued equally with digital tools. D．It remains an essential skill for daily life. 2．What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on regarding handwriting? A．Its role in improving brain connectivity. B．Its advantages in learning and memory tasks. C．Its effect on helping students score higher. D．Its value in adult daily management skills. 3．Why is previous research mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．To add further evidence. B．To make a comparison. C．To show different opinions. D．To present a professional viewpoint. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To compare handwriting with typing. B．To promote handwriting as an art form. C．To introduce a new digital writing tool. D．To emphasize handwriting’s cognitive value. Passage 13 Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population is aging rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot. This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000. Given this affordability, I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections. Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time. But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties (机能) fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family? 1．What is a robot’s main practical advantage in elder care? A．Its lower long-term cost. B．Its guarantee of total safety. C．Its ability to show friendship. D．Its simple setup and operation. 2．What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Ease. B．Cause. C．Ignore. D．Discover. 3．What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4? A．The urgent need to replace human care. B．The potential of AI in showing empathy. C．The general weakness of human caregivers. D．The importance of human emotional interaction. 4．How does the author sound in the last paragraph? A．Angry and intolerant. B．Reflective and concerned. C．Indifferent and dismissive. D．Sympathetic and confused. Passage 14 According to the World Health Organization, there is a severe shortage of mental health professionals. Roughly one-third of people with mental health conditions, especially in poor countries, receive no treatment at all. Even in wealthy nations, many cannot afford or access timely care. In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative, offering round-the-clock, low-cost support to millions worldwide. Powered by large language models (LLMs), modern chatbots have become more advanced, able to hold natural conversations and adjust replies to suit individual users. To boost their therapeutic effects, researchers have developed specialized tools such as Therabot and Ash. Therabot, trained with simulated dialogues between therapists and patients, cut depressive symptoms by 51% in clinical trials, while Ash can select proper therapeutic methods according to users’ real feelings. Researchers also found users tend to feel less pressured to share personal troubles with an AI than with a human therapist, making the tools a dependable choice for daily mental health care. Yet AI therapy still carries obvious risks. In some extreme cases, chatbots may offer inappropriate and even harmful advice to emotionally fragile users. Besides, they often fail to spot risky crisis thoughts like suicidal tendency or intervene to correct users’ unhealthy behaviors. Worse still, their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly. To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation, researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile, governments are also taking active measures. Several US states have already introduced laws to regulate AI mental health tools and guard against potential risks. Although AI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need. It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved. 1．What contributes to the popularity of AI mental health therapists? A．Higher accessibility. B．More natural experience. C．Better treatment effects. D．Less reliable human therapists. 2．Which of the following is a potential problem of AI mental health tools? A．They add stress to communication. B．They can’t detect unhealthy behaviors. C．They always provide improper suggestions. D．They respond to users with easy approval. 3．What can we learn from last paragraph? A．AI models have replaced human therapists. B．Governments are strictly limiting AI mental tools. C．Joint efforts are being made to improve AI therapy. D．Safety risks of AI therapy have been totally removed. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards AI mental health therapist? A．Cautiously optimistic. B．Reasonably doubtful. C．Entirely opposed. D．Completely indifferent. Passage 15 Is early intensive (高强度) training the key to becoming a world-class performer? The career of tennis champion Novak Djokovic — who started at four and joined a tennis academy at 12 and won his first major title at 20 — seems to be like that. However, a study published in Science which might be against the common idea suggests this path may be the exception rather than the rule, revealing that true superstars often develop quite differently. Led by sports scientist Arne-Güllich, the research analyzed data from more than 34,000 elite (精英) performers in several areas, including sports, chess, classical music, and academia. It followed talented youngsters into their professional, adult careers. When they examined the data, a striking pattern emerged. In every field studied, elite youth performers and elite adults formed almost entirely separate groups. About 90% of adult superstars had not been outstanding as children. By contrast, only about 10% of top-level child talents went on to become exceptional adults. The study found that exceptional performance in childhood was not just an unreliable predictor of adult success — the two were actually negatively correlated. The research also revealed key behavioral differences. Adult superstars maintained broader interests for much longer. Future elite athletes often played multiple sports before specializing, and their performance initially fell behind more focused peers. However, once they specialized, their progress sped up rapidly — what researchers call better “training efficiency”. Why does this pattern hold? The “search and match” theory suggests exploring various fields helps individuals find their best fit. “Enhanced learning” proposes that diverse experiences improve overall learning ability, making later specialization more effective. The “limited-risk hypothesis (假设)” simply suggests that avoiding early intense focus may prevent burnout and maintain motivation. Dr Güllich emphasizes that his team is not saying the intensive early training does not work. It is a reliable way to produce highly competent people — just not the truly world-class ones. Sports academies and selective schools, in other words, may want to rethink how they do things. 1．Why does the author mention Novak Djokovic in paragraph 1? A．To prove the importance of starting early. B．To show the weakness of a common idea. C．To stress a link between talent and fame. D．To present a popular but later challenged belief. 2．Who will get better “training efficiency”? A．A kid who practices piano 8 hours every day from age four. B．A boy who tries several sports for long and later focus on one. C．A student who drops all hobbies to focuses on school work. D．A player who doubles the training time to strengthen skills. 3．What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A．The benefits of early specialization. B．The prevention of burnout in young athletes. C．The underlying logic of the later excellence. D．The value of maintaining broader interests. 4．What does Dr Güllich suggest doing? A．Doing more research. B．Adjusting current practices. C．Abandoning early intensive training. D．Identifying child excellence earlier. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届高考英语一轮复习（广东专用） 阅读理解议论文15篇 篇目 核心主题 话题分类 Passage 1 分析诗歌对年轻人吸引力下降的原因，提出诗歌应当平衡传统与现代以求长远发展 文化现象探讨 Passage 2 剖析女性普遍存在自我怀疑的现象，指出成功女性应当怀揣勇气果断行动，不必等到万事俱备 社会性别 / 个人成长 Passage 3 讨论 AI 催生的低质量产文化 “slop”，以印刷术、早期影视为例论证量产产物垃圾与宝藏共存，不应全盘否定 AI 内容 科技与文化思辨 Passage 4 探讨虚构创作可借鉴非虚构纪实研究；虚构与纪实写作手法可以互相融合、取长补短 文学创作研究 Passage 5 反驳部分气候科学家的悲观论调，论证全球升温控制在 2℃以内的目标仍可实现，呼吁加大减排力度 生态环境 Passage 6 辩证讨论 AI 在教育当中的利与弊，核心观点：AI 教育价值取决于学生批判性评估能力的培养 科技教育 Passage 7 论述大语言模型只是模仿语言模式而非真正推理，提醒使用者认清 AI 的能力边界 人工智能认知科普 Passage 8 探究生成式人工智能给教师带来的冲击，教师使用 AI 的方式将决定其扩大还是缩小教育公平差距 科技教育 Passage 9 批判社交媒体上美化孤独、宣扬 “孤独美学” 的风气，揭示其背后潜藏的心理健康风险 网络社会现象 Passage 10 论述 AI 时代传统教育模式亟需改革，学校应当培养学生解决真实问题、勇于担责等不可被 AI 替代的核心素养 科技教育 Passage 11 倡导青少年摒弃严苛满满的暑期计划，按照自己的节奏度过松弛、属于自己的假期 青少年成长 Passage 12 从认知科学角度论证手写的多重益处，呼吁数字时代重视手写练习 学习方式科普 Passage 13 分析养老机器人的成本优势，同时反思机器人照护老人可能造成亲情疏离等社会隐患 科技与养老 Passage 14 介绍 AI 心理聊天机器人作为心理健康辅助工具的价值，同时指出其风险，提出需要监管与技术优化 人工智能医疗健康 Passage 15 通过科研成果挑战 “早期高强度训练必成顶尖人才” 的固有认知，提出先广泛探索、后期专精更容易成长为行业精英 人才培养教育思辨 Passage 1 Poetry, once a respected literary form using rhythm and imagery to convey emotion, is losing its appeal among young people. This decline invites several explanations. Some blame its complicated language; others point to the rise of visual media. Whatever the cause, poetry seems increasingly irrelevant in modern society. A key barrier is accessibility. Readers today often find poetry difficult due to abstract language, complex symbolism, or historical references. For instance, Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is the thing with feathers” requires readers to decipher symbolic language, which can be too demanding for today’s readers. In contrast, a short video delivering a similar message in an engaging, straightforward way is far more accessible. Moreover, other forms of entertainment — music, movies, streaming platforms — have shifted people’s focus from written text to video, images and interactive content. These formats combine storytelling with attractive audio-visual elements, making them more appealing. In an era of constant digital distraction, people prefer quick, digestible content like social media posts. Poetry, which demands focused thought, seems outdated and less attractive. Furthermore, digital habits discourage deep reading. A 2018 report by the American Psychological Association (APA) study found fewer than 20% of U.S. teens read books daily for pleasure, while 80% use social media. Since poetry relies on deep reading and reflection — skills rarely practiced today — its consumption naturally declines. Yet poetry is adapting. Digitalization makes poems more approachable: poets share works on social media, reaching global audiences instantly. Lighthearted, humorous poetry is rising without sacrificing artistic quality. For instance, Shel Silverstein’s poems are playful and whimsical (异想天开的), yet they contain creative expressions that help readers reflect upon life in deep ways. Whether poetry will fade away or come back in new forms remains unclear. The answer lies in narrowing the gap between its traditional and modern forms and finding ways to draw a wider audience. As the world evolves, so must poetry if it wishes to survive and thrive (发展). 1．What does the underlined word “decipher” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Understand. B．Adopt. C．Generate. D．Rewrite. 2．What makes poetry less popular according to the text? A．Poetry is becoming increasingly difficult to translate. B．Audio-visual entertainment has great appeal to people. C．Young people lose the ability to conduct deep thinking. D．Digital reading replaces book reading on a large scale. 3．Why are Shel Silverstein’s poems mentioned in paragraph 5? A．To introduce a topic. B．To illustrate a phenomenon. C．To support a viewpoint. D．To argue against an opinion. 4．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Poetry is bound to attract more audience. B．Poetry is supposed to remain its characteristics. C．Poetry needs variety and richness in its language forms. D．Poetry should balance between tradition and modernity. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】文章分析了诗歌在年轻人当中吸引力下降的多重原因：语言晦涩、视听娱乐冲击、深度阅读缺失；同时指出诗歌也在借助数字化进行自我调整；作者认为诗歌想要蓬勃发展，需要平衡传统与现代，拉近和大众的距离。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“A key barrier is accessibility. Readers today often find poetry difficult due to abstract language, complex symbolism, or historical references. For instance, Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is the thing with feathers” requires readers to decipher symbolic language, which can be too demanding for today’s readers. (一大阻碍在于理解门槛。如今读者常常觉得诗歌难懂，因为抽象的语言、复杂的象征手法或是历史典故。例如，艾米莉・狄金森的《希望是长着羽毛的事物》需要读者decipher象征语言，这对当下读者来说要求过高。)”可知，读者如今觉得诗歌难懂，是因为它有抽象语言、复杂象征或历史典故，举狄金森的诗句为例，说明读者需要去理解这类象征语言，对当下读者来说要求过高，由此可推测decipher意为“理解”。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, other forms of entertainment — music, movies, streaming platforms — have shifted people’s focus from written text to video, images and interactive content. These formats combine storytelling with attractive audio-visual elements, making them more appealing. In an era of constant digital distraction, people prefer quick, digestible content like social media posts. Poetry, which demands focused thought, seems outdated and less attractive. (此外，音乐、电影、流媒体平台等其他娱乐形式，把人们的注意力从书面文字转移到视频、图片以及互动内容上。这些载体把叙事和吸引人的视听元素结合，更有诱惑力。在一个数字信息不断分散注意力的时代，人们偏爱社交媒体帖子这类简短易懂的内容。而诗歌需要专注思考，显得过时、吸引力不足。)”可知，诗歌不受欢迎的原因在于音乐、电影、流媒体平台等视听娱乐对人们有很大吸引力。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“Yet poetry is adapting. Digitalization makes poems more approachable: poets share works on social media, reaching global audiences instantly. Lighthearted, humorous poetry is rising without sacrificing artistic quality. For instance, Shel Silverstein’s poems are playful and whimsical, yet they contain creative expressions that help readers reflect upon life in deep ways. (然而诗歌也在适应时代。数字化让诗歌更容易走近大众：诗人在社交媒体分享作品，瞬间触达全球读者。轻松幽默的诗歌正在兴起，同时并不牺牲艺术品质。例如谢尔・希尔弗斯坦的诗歌俏皮天马行空，却包含富有创造力的表达，引导读者深刻反思生活。)”可知，本段的核心观点是“诗歌正在做出改变，数字化让诗歌更容易被接受”，举谢尔・希尔弗斯坦的例子就是为了佐证这个观点。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The answer lies in narrowing the gap between its traditional and modern forms and finding ways to draw a wider audience. As the world evolves, so must poetry if it wishes to survive and thrive. (出路在于缩小传统形式与现代形式之间的鸿沟，找到吸引更多受众的途径。世界在不断发展，诗歌若想要生存并蓬勃发展，也必须与时俱进。)”可知，诗歌想要蓬勃发展就必须与时俱进，缩小传统形式与现代形式之间的鸿沟，也就是要在传统和现代性之间做好平衡。 Passage 2 Have you ever escaped taking on a role or opportunity because you didn’t feel confident enough? Perhaps the voice in your head asked: “Why me? I am not yet ready, not capable enough, or don’t have enough experience.” If you can relate, you’re among the majority of women with whom I’ve worked. I recently asked more than 120 women, from areas including the U.S., UK, Australia, Georgia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If you’ve ever avoided risks, what factors and reasons contributed to this? More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor. As one well­known executive told me: “Every day I doubt myself. I doubt that I am good enough to be where I am.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise. We know self­doubt is a pervasive and often paralyzing concern, particularly for women. A study by psychologists at Cornell and Washington State highlighted higher levels of self­doubt in women. Research has also shown that women will apply for a job only if they meet all of the qualifications, while men will apply when they fulfill only 60%. Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability. Ultimately, men take more chances on themselves, and that pays dividends in the long run. While this pattern of self­doubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactions, and my client work, I also noticed another commonality: These women’s self­doubts weren’t sabotaging their success. The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt. What these women also had in common is courage in the absence of confidence — a trait that is often weaponized against women and used to explain why they fail to achieve career goals. My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”. “As women, we often feel like we have to be 100% ready in order to move forward. But, if you are 50% or 75% there, jump. Just do it,” said Megan Costello, former executive director of the Boston Mayor’s Office for Women’s Advancement. 1．What is the real factor for women to escape taking on a role? A．Higher risks. B．Different beliefs. C．Inner feelings. D．Related experiences. 2．What is typical of women in terms of self­promotion? A．They tend to be less optimistic. B．They prefer to be well qualified. C．They try to be favorably assessed. D．They hope to be clearly identified. 3．Which can best replace the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 5? A．Promoting. B．Weakening. C．Achieving. D．Balancing. 4．How do women with self­doubts succeed? A．By keeping themselves weaponized. B．By ignoring fears and doubts. C．By stopping questioning their readiness. D．By being bold and, decisive. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】文章指出女性常因自我怀疑回避机遇，但自我怀疑并不会毁掉成功；成功女性即便内心不安，依旧果敢行动，不必等到万事俱备再向前。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor.(超过70%的人表示，自我怀疑，即对自己、自身能力或技能缺乏足够的信心，是导致她们回避风险的主要因素)”可知，女性逃避承担角色的真正因素是内在感受。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability.(另一项近期研究发现，在自我宣传方面存在显著的性别差距，女性对自己的过往表现和未来潜在能力的评价普遍较为负面)”可知，女性在自我宣传方面通常不太乐观。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt.(我采访和指导过的绝大多数成功女性领导者，即使面临自我怀疑，也依然建立了令人振奋且令人满足的职业生涯)”可知，这些女性的自我怀疑并没有削弱她们取得成功的能力。故划线词意思是“削弱”。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”.(我的研究发现，成功的女性即使在面对恐惧、怀疑以及对自己“是否已准备就绪”的质疑时，也会果断采取行动，继续向前迈进)”可知，有自我怀疑的女性通过勇敢和果断取得成功。 Passage 3 Slop is a new way to describe mass-produced, low-quality content. The term has been popularized by artificial intelligence. Developer Simon Willison shared the concept: “Not all AI-generated content is slop. But if it’s mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn’t ask for it, slop is the perfect term.” Today slop’s critical tone is increasingly aimed at all things AI, treating it as a cultural pollutant. But by unthinkingly dismissing all of it, we risk missing out on the minority of creations that truly deserve to be kept. Mass-produced culture has a long, messy history. One notable slop moment came after Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press in Europe. The device — the ChatGPT of the 1450s — allowed the mass production of cheap printed material. Some of this material was nonsense, but much of it entertained and educated the masses. In the early 1700s, a growing reading public created steady demand for text, giving rise to Grub Street — the slop generator of its time. People laughed at Grub Street even as its writers built the first modern freelance (自由职业) economy and mass-print culture. The 20th-century cinema boom followed a similar pattern. Production demands generated a great deal of waste, yet this effort also laid the foundation for the motion-picture industry. In all of these situations, the point wasn’t to create masterpieces; it was to create rapidly and cheaply. But the production of new types of slop allows more people to participate. The current wave of AI-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero, while the cost for other people is high in terms of cognitive burden. So we must identify and take advantage of what stands out so that we can better discourage what doesn’t. The word “slop” helps us do that when it is used correctly. Calling everything worthless is a misguided attempt to dam the flood rather than channel it. If “culture is ordinary”, then the ordinary act of making on a large scale will always include waste. But it’ll also produce the seeds of the next thing we’ll decide to keep. 1．According to paragraph 1, which of the following is an example of “slop”? A．An AI-generated poem that pops up on your phone. B．A historical essay printed by a modern publisher. C．A low-budget film made by a famous filmmaker. D．A novel written by ChatGPT upon request. 2．What do the examples in paragraph 2 illustrate? A．History is sometimes largely unreliable. B．Mass-produced culture has long been a complex issue. C．Mass-produced culture received widespread criticism. D．Technological advances underwent a difficult process. 3．What has fueled today’s slop boom? A．Public demand for AI. B．Faster information flow. C．Better digital access. D．Lower production costs. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Slop in AI: A Growing Problem. B．Slop and Mass Production: Past and Future. C．The Slop Cycle: Trash or Treasure. D．Slop in History: An Art Phenomenon. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文围绕人工智能时代诞生的新词“slop”展开讨论，通过梳理印刷术、格拉布街、早期电影业等量产文化发展历史，指出量产文化中垃圾与宝藏长期并存，呼吁人们不要全盘否定AI生成内容，而应理性识别并保留其中真正有价值的作品。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“But if it’s mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn’t ask for it, slop is the perfect term.(但如果它是无脑生成，并且强加给了没有提出需求的人，那么slop就是形容它的完美词汇)”可知，slop的核心特征是未经请求无脑生成并强加给受众，“弹出在手机上的AI生成诗歌”满足“无脑生成”和“强加于人”两个条件。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段首句“Mass-produced culture has a long, messy history.(量产文化有着漫长且错综复杂的历史)”和下文以古腾堡印刷术、格拉布街和20世纪电影业为例，既指出它们生产了大量无意义内容，也承认它们教育、娱乐了大众，并为文化产业奠定了基础可知，量产文化既有弊端也有价值，长期以来就是一个复杂问题。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“The current wave of AI-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero(当前AI生成slop浪潮风险提升，是因为制作slop的成本已经暴跌至几乎为零)”可知，生产成本大幅降低推动了如今slop的泛滥。 4．主旨大意题。文章从“slop”的定义切入，结合历史上批量生产的文化现象，指出其中既有垃圾，也可能孕育值得保留的“种子”，并在末段“Calling everything worthless is a misguided attempt(称一切都是无用的，是一种错误的企图)”强调不应简单地将一切视为废物，而应看到垃圾与宝藏并存的循环。C项“The Slop Cycle: Trash or Treasure(Slop循环：垃圾还是宝藏)”精准概括了全文围绕“垃圾还是宝藏”展开的循环论述。 Passage 4 What can novelists learn from non-fiction? The greatest imagination is often fired with the depth of material that research offers. Sure, you can imagine anything, but readers will not necessarily believe anything. Truth doesn’t have to be true, but it does have to be credible (We’ve all read something unrealistic that the author insists “really happened!”). I’ve written a few historical novels, including a series based in early Victorian London. That kind of fiction requires a lot of research just at the level of what people wear, eat and how they live their lives. Then you need location details: buildings, streets, smells, sounds, etc. It looks laborious but it’s almost as much fun as the actual writing. I spent months reading books and newspapers produced in the 1840s. The novel’s plot would be mine, but everything it rested on was pure historical research. Anthony Burgess was once waiting to meet his publisher in London and decided to leaf through a pile of the newest bestselling thrillers on the reception’s coffee table. He noted that each book was based on a specific subject area — avalanches (雪崩), oil-drilling work — and understood that readers don’t just want a story. They also want to learn something about an unknown subject. They want fiction and non-fiction combined. I’ve also written history. I already knew about the history of the Greek town I’d decided to focus on, but I wanted to make it appealing to the general reader using the techniques I’d used in fiction. The result was mostly an experiment in structure. I decided to tell the history in a non-chronological (非按时间顺序的) way, focusing instead on themes that would allow me to group different and individual stories in ways that would hold together like chapters in fiction. The whole history would be told eventually, but it would come together gradually like a plot rather than “in order” as it happened. As such, it appeared to be almost like a novel, though everything in it is history. 1．What quality should a novel carry according to paragraph 1? A．Readability. B．Reliability. C．Authenticity. D．Originality. 2．What did the research into Victorian London serve to ensure? A．Visual presentation. B．Identity exploration. C．Theme relevance. D．Historical accuracy. 3．What do readers expect from a book according to Anthony Burgess? A．Novel content. B．Varied settings. C．Thrilling elements. D．Immersive experience. 4．How did the author tell the history of the Greek town? A．By following the timeline. B．By respecting historical events. C．By combining facts and fantasy. D．By adopting a fictional organization. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】文章主要论述了小说家可以从非虚构作品中汲取养分，介绍作者自身创作经历，探讨虚构文学与非虚构文学相互融合的写作手法。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Sure, you can imagine anything, but readers will not necessarily believe anything. Truth doesn’t have to be true, but it does have to be credible (We’ve all read something unrealistic that the author insists ‘really happened!’).(诚然，你可以想象任何事物，但读者未必会相信所有内容。事实不必完全真实，但必须具备可信度（我们都读过一些脱离现实的内容，而作者却坚称这‘确有其事！’）。)”可知，小说应当具备可信的特质。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“That kind of fiction requires a lot of research just at the level of what people wear, eat and how they live their lives. Then you need location details: buildings, streets, smells, sounds, etc.(这类小说需要大量研究，涉及人们的穿着、饮食以及生活方式，还需要地点细节：建筑、街道、气味、声音等等。)”以及“The novel’s plot would be mine, but everything it rested on was pure historical research.(小说情节是作者原创，但支撑小说的一切都来自纯粹的历史研究。)”可知，对维多利亚时代伦敦的研究是为了保证历史准确性。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“He noted that each book was based on a specific subject area — avalanches (雪崩), oil‑drilling work — and understood that readers don’t just want a story. They also want to learn something about an unknown subject. They want fiction and non‑fiction combined.(他注意到每本书都围绕某一特定主题展开——雪崩、石油钻探工作——并且意识到读者不只是想看一个故事。他们也希望了解一些陌生领域的知识。他们期待虚构与非虚构内容融为一体。)”可知，读者期待兼具故事性与新知的新颖内容。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I decided to tell the history in a non‑chronological (时间顺序的) way, focusing instead on themes that would allow me to group different and individual stories in ways that would hold together like chapters in fiction.(我决定不按照时间顺序来讲述这段历史，转而围绕各类主题，把一个个独立各异的故事整合在一起，使其衔接连贯，如同小说的各个章节。)”以及“As such, it appeared to be almost like a novel, though everything in it is history.(如此一来，这本书读起来几乎就像一部小说，然而书中所有内容均为史实。)”可知，作者采用小说式的结构来讲述希腊城镇的历史。 Passage 5 Climate scientists often warn the public about the risks of global warming. While concern is necessary, the professional pessimism of some may convey misleading messages to policymakers and the public. Ahead of the crucial UN summit in France, more than 150 countries have submitted plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. An assessment of these suggests that global annual emissions of greenhouse gases in 2030 will reach between 55 and 60 billion tonnes. This has led some climate scientists to declare that staying below the 2℃ warming limit, and hence avoiding dangerous climate change, is impossible. But the evidence indicates that it is achievable, even without large-scale negative-emissions projects, such as bio-energy with carbon capture and storage. The Emissions Gap Report, published by the UN Environment Programme, analysed scenarios (情境) outlined in the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It found 16 scenarios that resulted in a 50 to 66 percent chance of avoiding warming beyond 2℃. These paths do not rely on future large-scale technologies to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Instead, they are based on steady and reasonable emission cuts beginning in 2010 and continuing without major delay. These require annual emissions to drop from the current 50 to 53 billion tonnes to 36 billion by 2030, 27 billion by 2050, and 14 billion by 2100. This is technically possible, even if it needs more action. Governments recognise the gap between present commitments and an emissions pathway that avoids dangerous climate change. It is likely that the Paris Agreement will initiate a process through which governments will scale up their emission-cut efforts, acknowledging that what is on the table now should be a floor, not a ceiling, for reductions. Therefore, climate scientists should help governments and the public understand what must be done to have a reasonable chance of staying below 2℃ instead of spreading doubt. 1．What is some climate scientists’ attitude to staying below the 2℃ warming limit? A．Tolerant. B．Favorable. C．Optimistic. D．Pessimistic. 2．Why does the author mention the Emissions Gap Report? A．To illustrate a crucial scientific concept. B．To emphasize the target is unacceptable. C．To argue against some scientists’ view. D．To highlight the impact of climate change. 3．What should governments do based on the Paris Agreement? A．Make more efforts to cut emissions. B．Rely on large-scale technologies. C．Delay emissions cuts until 2050. D．Sign a new contract among countries. 4．What is the author’s opinion on dangerous climate change? A．It is quite easy to address. B．It is subject to advances in technology. C．It is an unsolvable problem. D．It is avoidable with the right approach. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文作者反驳了部分气候科学家认为无法将全球升温控制在2℃以内的悲观看法，通过相关报告数据论证该目标是可实现的，呼吁气候科学家引导公众和政策制定者了解正确的减排路径，各国政府也应加大减排力度以规避危险的气候变化。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段“This has led some climate scientists to declare that staying below the 2℃ warming limit, and hence avoiding dangerous climate change, is impossible. (这导致一些气候科学家宣称将升温控制在2℃以内、从而避免危险的气候变化是不可能的。)”可知，一些气候科学家认为实现2℃目标是不可能的，持悲观态度。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“The Emissions Gap Report, published by the UN Environment Programme, analysed scenarios (情境) outlined in the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It found 16 scenarios that resulted in a 50 to 66 percent chance of avoiding warming beyond 2℃. These paths do not rely on future large-scale technologies to remove carbon from the atmosphere. (联合国环境规划署发布的《排放差距报告》分析了政府间气候变化专门委员会第五次评估报告中提出的各种情景。该报告发现，有16种情景可使避免气温上升超过2℃的概率达到50%至66%。这些路径并不依赖于未来大规模的技术来清除大气中的碳。)”可知，作者引用该报告是为了证明一些科学家认为2℃目标不可能实现的观点是错误的，即反驳一些科学家的观点。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It is likely that the Paris Agreement will initiate a process through which governments will scale up their emission-cut efforts, acknowledging that what is on the table now should be a floor, not a ceiling, for reductions. (巴黎协定很可能启动一个进程，使各国政府加大减排力度，承认当前的承诺应是减排的底线，而非上限。)”可知，根据巴黎协定，政府应加大减排努力。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“But the evidence indicates that it is achievable, even without large-scale negative-emissions projects, such as bio-energy with carbon capture and storage. (但证据表明这是可以实现的，即使没有大规模负排放项目，例如，利用碳捕集与封存技术的生物能源。)”以及最后一段“Therefore, climate scientists should help governments and the public understand what must be done to have a reasonable chance of staying below 2℃ instead of spreading doubt. (因此，气候科学家应帮助政府和公众理解必须采取哪些措施，才能有合理机会将气温控制在2℃以下，而不是制造不确定性。)”可知，作者认为危险的气候变化通过正确的方法是可以避免的。 Passage 6 The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into academic settings has sparked a contentious debate, often polarizing educators into two camps: the prohibitionists who advocate for a complete ban to preserve intellectual integrity, and the enthusiasts who champion its use as a revolutionary learning tool. However, a more nuanced perspective suggests that the core issue is not the technology itself, but the pedagogical framework that governs its application. The responsible use of AI in education should be viewed through the lens of cognitive offloading — a process where we delegate certain mental tasks to external tools, much like using a calculator for complex arithmetic. The danger, therefore, does not lie in the act of using AI, but in the nature of the interaction. Superficial engagement, where students simply input a prompt and copy the output, constitutes a failure of learning, as it bypasses the critical stages of problem-solving and synthesis. Conversely, a sophisticated interaction involves a recursive dialogue, where the student interrogates the AI’s suggestions, identifies logical fallacies, and refines the output based on their own conceptual understanding. In this scenario, the AI transforms from an oracle that provides answers into a Socratic partner that stimulates deeper inquiry. This process aligns with the “zone of proximal development”, where the AI acts as a scaffold to support the learner in achieving a cognitive level they could not reach independently. Nevertheless, this model presupposes a level of epistemic maturity — the ability to critically evaluate the source and validity of information — that many students have yet to develop. AI models are inherently probabilistic; they generate responses based on patterns in data, not on verifiable truth. Consequently, an over-reliance on AI without rigorous verification can lead to the internalization of subtle inaccuracies or biased perspectives embedded within the training data. The real pedagogical challenge, then, is to cultivate a culture of “trust but verify”, where AI is utilized as a provisional draft generator, but the ultimate responsibility for accuracy, originality, and ethical reasoning remains firmly with the human intellect. 1．What does the author imply by comparing AI use to “cognitive offloading” in paragraph 1? A．It is a natural extension of human intellectual evolution. B．Its effectiveness depends on the user’s existing knowledge base. C．It risks weakening our fundamental mental capabilities. D．Its value is determined by the educational purpose it serves. 2．The author mentions “recursive dialogue” in paragraph 2 primarily to ________. A．illustrate a method that ensures the AI’s output is factually correct B．distinguish a productive application from a passive one C．recommend it as a strategy to reduce study time D．argue that AI should replace traditional Socratic teaching 3．According to the passage, the primary obstacle to using AI as a “Socratic partner” is that ________. A．most AI models are not designed for interactive dialogue B．students often lack the critical thinking skills required for such engagement C．the “zone of proximal development” is difficult to achieve with technology D．educators are resistant to changing their pedagogical frameworks 4．Which of the following best summarizes the author’s stance on AI in education? A．AI should be strictly regulated to prevent academic dishonesty. B．The integration of AI should prioritize technological advancement over traditional methods. C．The educational merit of AI is contingent upon the cultivation of critical evaluation habits. D．The primary benefit of AI is its efficiency in generating preliminary research drafts. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讲述AI进入教育引发争议，问题不在于技术本身，而在于管控其应用的教学框架与人机交互质量；同时对比了AI的浅层与深度使用模式，指出把AI当作学习伙伴需要学生具备批判能力，强调使用AI应秉持“信任但验证”的思维，人类需要对内容的准确性、原创性承担最终责任。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The responsible use of AI in education should be viewed through the lens of cognitive offloading — a process where we delegate certain mental tasks to external tools, much like using a calculator for complex arithmetic.(在教育中负责任地使用AI，应从认知卸载的视角来看待 —— 这是我们将特定脑力任务委托给外部工具的过程，就像使用计算器处理复杂算术一样。)”可推知，作者将AI使用类比为认知卸载（文中以计算器做类比），说明工具本身无好坏，本质是说明AI是辅助完成特定脑力任务的工具，它的价值由其服务的教育目的与使用场景决定。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Superficial engagement, where students simply input a prompt and copy the output, constitutes a failure of learning, as it bypasses the critical stages of problem-solving and synthesis. Conversely, a sophisticated interaction involves a recursive dialogue, where the student interrogates the AI’s suggestions, identifies logical fallacies, and refines the output based on their own conceptual understanding.(浅层参与指学生仅简单输入提示词并复制输出内容，这属于学习失败，因为该行为跳过了解决问题与综合归纳的关键阶段。与之相反，深度交互是一种循环往复的对话，学生在此过程中对人工智能给出的建议提出质疑，识别逻辑谬误，并结合自身的概念认知完善输出内容。)”可知，作者提出“递归式对话”，是为了将富有成效的AI应用方式与被动浅层的应用方式区分开来。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, this model presupposes a level of epistemic maturity — the ability to critically evaluate the source and validity of information — that many students have yet to develop.(然而，这种模式预先假定学生具备一定的认知成熟度——也就是批判性评估信息来源与有效性的能力——而许多学生尚不具备这种能力。)”可知，将AI用作“苏格拉底式伙伴”的主要阻碍，是学生往往缺乏这类互动所必需的批判性思维能力。 4．主旨大意题。文章先介绍教育领域对待 AI 的两种对立态度，指出这两种立场都较为极端，在第三段点明全文核心观点；第三段中的“The real pedagogical challenge, then, is to cultivate a culture of “trust but verify”, where AI is utilized as a provisional draft generator, but the ultimate responsibility for accuracy, originality, and ethical reasoning remains firmly with the human intellect.(那么，真正的教学挑战就是培养一种‘信任但要验证’的文化：在这种文化下，人工智能被用作临时草稿生成工具，但准确性、原创性以及伦理推理的最终责任仍归于人类的理性思辨。)”是本文主旨句，该句是对前文关于AI的使用边界、学生批判能力相关论述的总结升华。由此可知，作者认为：AI的教育价值取决于批判性评估习惯的培养。 Passage 7 Most people naturally trust doctors, assuming their expertise is rooted in years of treating real patients. Imagine a doctor who had never actually examined a human body, acquiring knowledge only from millions of medical texts. Although their explanations might still sound convincing, you are bound to question their genuine understanding. Yet, we rarely apply this distrust to Large Language Models (LLMs) like Deepseek when seeking medical advice. We are often misled by their fluent responses, assuming they comprehend complex issues as humans do. This raises a critical question: Do these models truly reason (推理), or do they merely imitate human reasoning? To find it out, my colleagues and I conducted experiments comparing how humans and LLMs perform differently when faced with tasks requiring judgments. We presented both humans and LLMs with news headlines and moral dilemmas. When checking if a piece of news is true, humans tend to rely on common sense, basic facts, and real-world experience. However, LLMs simply check their massive database of input texts to see how often certain words appear together in specific contexts. A similar difference appeared in moral questions. Humans decide right and wrong based on social rules and feelings. In contrast, models merely copy the language patterns they have “read” before. In a word, humans understand the real world, whereas LLMs just piece together words from their input. Across the tasks, a consistent pattern emerges: where a human judges, a model correlates. This creates what we call “epistemia” — a dangerous misconception where the imitation of knowledge looks exactly like true understanding. The real danger is that models cannot form beliefs or tell the difference between what is actually true and what merely sounds reasonable. What should a reader do with this knowledge? Our advice is to seek a clearer understanding of what they can and cannot do, treating them as helpful assistants requiring constant human oversight (监督), because they lack access to what judgment ultimately depends on: the world itself. 1．Why does the author mention “a doctor” in Paragraph 1? A．To emphasize the expertise of LLMs. B．To present the distrust from patients. C．To outline the medical training process. D．To introduce the potential issue of LLMs. 2．What did the researchers aim to figure out? A．How fluently LLMs can answer questions. B．What helps people handle moral dilemmas. C．Whether LLMs possess reasoning ability. D．Why people blindly follow medical advice. 3．How do LLMs deal with tasks requiring judgments? A．By connecting with human feelings. B．By imitating linguistic patterns. C．By relying on firsthand experience. D．By applying basic social rules. 4．What does the author advise users to do regarding LLMs? A．Keep a clear awareness of their limits. B．Leave ultimate judgments to them. C．Provide them with real-world access. D．Treat them as engines of understanding. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要探讨的是大型语言模型（LLMs）是否真正具备推理能力，还是仅仅在模仿人类的推理过程，并提醒用户应对其局限性保持清醒认识。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine a doctor who had never actually examined a human body, acquiring knowledge only from millions of medical texts. Although their explanations might still sound convincing, you are bound to question their genuine understanding.(想象一位从未真正检查过人体的医生，仅从数百万份医学文本中获取知识。尽管他们的解释听起来可能仍然令人信服，但你一定会质疑他们的真实理解能力)”可知，作者提及“医生”是为了引出大型语言模型可能存在的问题——它们虽然能给出看似合理的回答，但缺乏对现实世界的真正理解。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“This raises a critical question: Do these models truly reason (推理), or do they merely imitate human reasoning? To find it out, my colleagues and I conducted experiments comparing how humans and LLMs perform differently when faced with tasks requiring judgments. (这引发了一个关键问题：这些模型是真正在推理，还是仅仅在模仿人类推理？为了弄清楚这一点，我和我的同事们进行了实验，比较人类和大型语言模型在面对需要判断的任务时表现有何不同。)”可知，研究人员旨在弄清楚大型语言模型是否具备推理能力。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“However, LLMs simply check their massive database of input texts to see how often certain words appear together in specific contexts. (然而，大型语言模型只是检查其庞大的输入文本数据库，查看某些词语在特定语境中一起出现的频率。)”以及“In contrast, models merely copy the language patterns they have ‘read’ before. (相比之下，模型只是复制它们之前‘读’过的语言模式。)”可知，大型语言模型通过模仿语言模式来处理需要判断的任务。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Our advice is to seek a clearer understanding of what they can and cannot do, treating them as helpful assistants requiring constant human oversight (监督), because they lack access to what judgment ultimately depends on: the world itself. (我们的建议是，要更清楚地了解它们能做什么、不能做什么，将它们视为需要持续人工监督的有用助手，因为它们无法接触到判断最终依赖的东西：世界本身。)”可知，作者建议用户对大型语言模型的局限性保持清醒认识。 Passage 8 Today’s teachers face a tough situation with generative AI. New tools are appearing rapidly, from personalized tutors for students to lesson planners and graders for teachers. Schools are traditionally slow to adapt to change, which makes such rapid-fire developments especially destabilizing. This AI wave hits when teachers are already struggling. They lack time and resources while facing high expectations for both academic results and students’ emotional growth. Many are exhausted and leaving the profession. This matters because teacher quality is the top factor in student success, especially for disadvantaged kids. How teachers use AI could decide whether it narrows or widens existing fairness gaps in education. Research on public school teachers shows mixed feelings about AI. Interviews with 22 teachers in a diverse U. S. school district reveal both hope and worry. Many appreciate AI as a “thought partner.” Creating lesson plans with AI saves time and reduces stress. One teacher noted it improved work-life balance and provided support when feeling isolated. However, not all teachers feel ready. A major problem is the lack of training and planning time. Learning a new tool takes effort, and many schools don’t offer enough professional support. Studies show that schools with fewer resources are less able to help teachers use new tech effectively. As a result, well-funded schools can better support their staff, which often makes educational inequalities worse. Teachers also emphasized that AI cannot replace the human connection in education. A machine can provide information, but many students still need teachers’ guidance, encouragement, and communication to truly learn. A good teacher does more than share knowledge; he or she builds relationships with students. All in all, teachers are crucial in determining how and whether AI, like all new technologies, is used to support their teaching and student learning. That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater. 1．What does the underlined word “destabilizing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Causing disorder and loss of balance. B．Making teaching more challenging now. C．Giving teachers extra work and pressure. D．Speeding up the process of school change. 2．What matters most to students’ success according to the text? A．Students’ effort. B．Teacher quality. C．School resources. D．Advanced AI tools. 3．What is the author’s main concern regarding the AI wave in education? A．It will eventually replace human teachers. B．It might weaken the teacher-student relationship. C．It reduces students’ emotional growth. D．It may widen existing educational inequalities. 4．What determines whether AI narrows the fairness gap? A．The financial support schools can offer. B．The speed of AI technology development. C．How teachers integrate AI into their work. D．The academic pressure students are facing. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】文章主要探讨了生成式人工智能在教育领域的快速发展对教师的冲击，及其可能加剧或缩小教育公平差距的影响。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“New tools are appearing rapidly, from personalized tutors for students to lesson planners and graders for teachers. Schools are traditionally slow to adapt to change, which makes such rapid-fire developments especially destabilizing.(新工具正在快速涌现，包括面向学生的个性化辅导工具，以及面向教师的备课工具和评分工具。学校传统上适应变化很慢，这使得这种快速的发展尤其destabilizing)”可知，学校适应变化慢，而AI工具却快速涌现，这种反差会打破原有的稳定状态。destabilizing，意为“使不稳定”，即造成混乱和失衡。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“This matters because teacher quality is the top factor in student success, especially for disadvantaged kids.(这很重要，因为教师质量是学生成功的最关键因素，尤其是对弱势儿童而言)”可知，对学生的成功影响最大的是教师质量。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“How teachers use AI could decide whether it narrows or widens existing fairness gaps in education.(教师如何使用AI可能决定它是缩小还是扩大教育中现有的公平差距)”以及最后一段“That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater.(这就是为什么我们认为，在当前人工智能快速发展和采用的时期建立的实践将深刻影响这项技术是创造一个更公平的教育体系，还是使现有的差异更大)”可知，作者主要关注AI浪潮可能会扩大现有的教育不平等。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“All in all, teachers are crucial in determining how and whether AI, like all new technologies, is used to support their teaching and student learning. That’s why we believe the practices established during this current period of rapid AI development and adoption will profoundly influence whether this technology creates a fairer education system or makes existing differences even greater.(总而言之，在决定如何以及是否使用人工智能这类新技术来辅助自身教学和学生学习的问题上，教师起着关键作用。这就是为什么我们认为，在当前人工智能快速发展和采用的时期建立的实践将深刻影响这项技术是创造一个更公平的教育体系，还是使现有的差异更大)”可知，决定AI能否缩小公平差距的关键在于教师如何将AI融入他们的工作。 Passage 9 The caption reads: You live alone and have no friends, so this is how you spend your Friday night. In the video, a woman enters a neat apartment, pours a glass of wine, and relaxes on the sofa, looking peaceful and content. This type of content is created by so-called “loneliness influencers,” who present solitude (独处) as comfort and freedom rather than something to avoid. While being able to enjoy your own company is psychologically healthy, romanticizing friendlessness, isolation (孤独), and loneliness can be problematic. A recent article in The Atlantic provides a glimpse into how these individuals view their peaceful lives, with hashtags like #cozyathome and #alonenotlonely. But there is a catch: social media only captures brief moments, and interpreting isolation as aesthetics (美学) can dilute the significance of belonging and community. Research suggests loneliness is at epidemic levels, with 38% of U. S. adults reporting moderate-to-severe loneliness in 2022. The Surgeon General’s 2023 report concluded that loneliness and social isolation increase the risk for early death, stroke, depression and dementia. Based on the potential negative outcomes, it seems to be anything but romantic or “trendy”. According to Abraham Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs,” love and belonging come immediately after physiological needs and safety needs. Maslow’s theory of human needs dates back to 1943 and has been widely accepted in the psychology field since. To be fair, there have certainly been positive mental health and self-care messages that influencers have helped bring to the mainstream, but sometimes their content unintentionally promotes unhealthy concepts and ideas. We need to look no further than the classic and current research to see that a promotion of loneliness and isolation comes with significant risks, which casts doubt on the beautified portrayal on social media. Our current culture of influencers brings to mind an ancient Latin phrase: caveat emptor, or “let the buyer be cautious.” It is on us as the consumer to determine the quality of a product before purchasing it. Over time, this has become applicable to social media. 1．What does the underlined word “dilute” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Reveal. B．Evaluate. C．Highlight. D．Cheapen. 2．What does the author stress by referring to the “Hierarchy of Needs”? A．The impacts of isolation. B．The significance of psychology. C．The differences of human needs. D．The necessity of social connection. 3．Why does the author mention the Latin phrase? A．To offer a solution. B．To sound a warning. C．To clarify a theory. D．To promote a product. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Rise of Influencer Culture B．The Trend of Enjoying Living Alone C．Hidden Risks of Loneliness Aesthetics D．Health Problems Caused by Social Media 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】文章主要讲述社交媒体网红美化独处、渲染孤独美学，作者结合研究与马斯洛需求理论指出其潜藏风险，提醒社交媒体使用者理性辨别相关内容。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But there is a catch: social media only captures brief moments, and interpreting isolation as aesthetics (美学) can dilute the significance of belonging and community. (但问题在于：社交媒体只捕捉短暂瞬间，把孤独解读为美学，会____归属感与社群的重要意义。)”可知，将孤独包装成美学，会贬低、弱化归属感的价值。所以dilute和Cheapen同义，表示“贬低，降低……价值”。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“According to Abraham Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs,” love and belonging come immediately after physiological needs and safety needs. (根据亚伯拉罕・马斯洛的需求层次理论，爱与归属感紧随生理需求和安全需求之后。)”可知，作者引用该理论意在说明爱与归属感是人的基本需求，强调社交联系的必要性。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Our current culture of influencers brings to mind an ancient Latin phrase: caveat emptor, or “let the buyer be cautious.” It is on us as the consumer to determine the quality of a product before purchasing it. (当下网红文化让人想起一句古老拉丁语：买者自负，即“购买者需谨慎”。作为消费者，我们有责任在购买前判断产品的质量。)”可知，作者借用拉丁语，提醒社交媒体使用者谨慎看待网红内容，起到警示作用。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“While being able to enjoy your own company is psychologically healthy, romanticizing friendlessness, isolation (孤独), and loneliness can be problematic. (虽然能够享受独处在心理上是健康的，但是将没有朋友、与世隔绝以及孤独浪漫化是会产生问题的。)”以及全文论述可知，文章主要探讨社交媒体上孤独美学背后潜藏的风险。C选项“孤独美学背后隐藏的风险”最适合作为标题。 Passage 10 With AI offering convenient ways to access knowledge, students no longer rely only on the classroom to learn. The traditional lecture-centered approach is no longer sufficient. Students, teachers and administrators must recognize a fundamental reality: within three to five years, research in highly innovative disciplines will be dramatically different from today. Schools that cling to traditional approaches will struggle to maintain their strengths. Research suggests that in the AI era, students should prioritize skills such as language proficiency, problem-solving, critical thinking, and human-AI collaboration. This calls for a comprehensive overhaul of curricula and talent cultivation models. Traditional disciplines need to embrace intelligent transformation and foster greater interdisciplinary integration. In traditional schools, the brightest students have been regarded as the most capable. But when AI outperforms humans in many tasks, a more important question emerges: who can be trusted and is willing to take responsibility? This is precisely where humans remain irreplaceable. AI has no lived experience of consequences and cannot assume responsibility. Schools should invest in character education and innovation projects that solve real-world problems, cultivating graduates who are trustworthy and capable of taking responsibility. Future talents will need the ability to define problems independently, adapt knowledge to real-world contexts, and integrate insights across disciplines. These are among the scarcest capabilities in education today and ones AI cannot directly provide. In the AI age, young people’s core competitiveness is shifting from acquiring knowledge quickly to defining problems deeply, and from remembering right answers to asking original questions. Only teachers who embrace change can serve as role models. Human-AI collaboration has become the new normal and is reshaping education. Universities should provide cutting-edge AI tools and platforms while embedding AI safety principles and ethical standards into teaching. AI may surpass instructors in knowledge breadth. This compels teacher education institutions to rethink the teacher’s role. In the future, teachers must help students work effectively with AI. An outstanding teacher will need to be an instructor who imparts knowledge, cultivates character, and guides students in human-AI collaboration. 1．What does the underlined word “overhaul” mean in paragraph 3? A．Gradual update. B．Minor regulation. C．Careful review. D．Complete reform. 2．What change does the AI era bring to education? A．Knowledge acquisition matters less. B．The definition of a capable student is shifting. C．Classroom teaching is losing its value. D．Traditional disciplines are being simplified. 3．What is a characteristic of the future teacher in the passage? A．Performing multiple tasks. B．Prioritizing academics. C．Cultivating their character. D．Encouraging innovation. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Where the future of human ability truly lies. B．Whether technology is changing how people learn. C．How education should be reformed to fit the AI era. D．Why schools must rethink what makes a top student. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲的是在人工智能时代，传统教育模式面临挑战，学校、教师需要改革课程与人才培养方式，重视人的不可替代的品格与综合能力，转变教师角色，培养能够与 AI 协作的未来人才。 1．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Traditional disciplines need to embrace intelligent transformation and foster greater interdisciplinary integration.(传统学科需要拥抱智能化转型，并推动更大范围的跨学科融合。)”可知，传统学科需要智能转型并促进跨学科融合，这必然要求对课程和人才培养模式进行根本性的变革，而非小幅调整或审查，“overhaul”意为“全面改革”，与D项“Complete reform(彻底改革)”意思一致。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In traditional schools, the brightest students have been regarded as the most capable. But when AI outperforms humans in many tasks, a more important question emerges: who can be trusted and is willing to take responsibility?(在传统学校里，最聪明的学生一直被看作能力最强的人。但是当人工智能在很多任务上的表现超过人类时，一个更为重要的问题出现了：谁值得信赖，并且愿意承担责任？)”可知，AI时代对学生的评价标准从过去看重智力高低，转变为看重是否可信、是否愿意承担责任，这反映了“有能力的学生”的定义正在发生转变。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“An outstanding teacher will need to be an instructor who imparts knowledge, cultivates character, and guides students in human-AI collaboration.(一名优秀的教师应当既是知识的传授者、品格的培育者，也要引导学生开展人机协作。)”可知，未来杰出教师需同时承担传授知识、培养品格和引导学生进行人机协作这三重职责，这体现了从单一知识传授转向多元任务融合的角色转变。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“With AI offering convenient ways to access knowledge, students no longer rely only on the classroom to learn. The traditional lecture-centered approach is no longer sufficient.(随着人工智能为获取知识提供了便捷途径，学生不再仅仅依赖课堂学习。传统的以讲座为中心的教学方式已不再足够。)”和第二段“Students, teachers and administrators must recognize a fundamental reality: within three to five years, research in highly innovative disciplines will be dramatically different from today. Schools that cling to traditional approaches will struggle to maintain their strengths.(学生、教师和管理者必须认识到一个基本事实：在三到五年内，高度创新领域的研究将与今天大不相同。那些固守传统教学模式的学校将难以保持自身优势。)”可知，文章开篇即指出AI时代传统课堂模式不再足够，随后从课程改革、人才能力重塑、学生评价标准转变以及教师角色更新等多个层面，系统地阐述了教育应如何全面变革以适应AI时代的需求，C项“How education should be reformed to fit the AI era.(教育应如何改革以适应人工智能时代。)”概括了全文的核心议题。 Passage 11 A mom recently laughed while telling us, “By week two of summer, I had a color-coded plan. By week three, my son had quietly ignored all of it.” And honestly, that’s often the case. Summer has a funny way of exposing the gap between what we plan and what we actually need. For most teens, this season is not just a break from school but a reset for mental health, sleep, and identity. Yet the pressure to stay productive sneaks in, summer goals, skill building, internships... a strict and detailed to-do list. Here is the thing: a balanced summer routine does not mean doing everything; it means choosing what matters. One teen we spoke to said she started keeping “two good things a day” instead of a to-do list. Sometimes it was finishing a chapter, sometimes just getting out of bed before noon, small wins, but real ones. Parents can support this by shifting the conversation from results to rhythm. Ask how the day felt, not just what got done. That small shift builds trust and lowers pressure. At the same time, a little structure can help summer not turn into one long scroll session. Think gentle growth, not strict schedules. A simple trick is the “half and half” approach, half the day for something that adds value, reading, helping at home, learning something small, and half for relaxation, friends, or doing absolutely nothing. Yes, doing nothing counts. Teens need boredom more than we admit; it is where creativity and self-discovery quietly grow. Parents, try being a sounding board instead of a supervisor; maybe a quick weekly check-in over pizza works better than daily reminders. And teens, it is okay if your summer is not aesthetic or perfectly planned. The real goal is to feel rested, a bit more confident, and still connected to your people. Because when school starts again, what stays is not the checklist — it is the feeling that you had a summer that was actually yours. 1．Why do most teens fail to stick to the summer plan? A．They forget their goals. B．Their plans are too strict. C．They don’t have much free time. D．Their summer activities are boring. 2．What does the “half and half” method mean? A．Half at home, half outside. B．Half for growth, half for rest. C．Half alone, half with friends. D．Half for study, half for sports. 3．What role does the author advise parents to play in summer? A．A strict reminder. B．A task planner. C．A supportive listener. D．A summer tutor. 4．What is the most suitable title for the passage? A．Your Summer, Your Way B．How to Make a Summer Plan C．Doing Nothing: Doing Everything D．The Gap Between Rest and Productivity 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】文章主要讲述青少年应拥有贴合自身节奏的专属夏日。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet the pressure to stay productive sneaks in, summer goals, skill building, internships...  a strict and detailed to-do list.(然而保持高效的压力悄然袭来，暑期目标、技能培养、实习……一份严苛又详尽的待办清单。)”可知，青少年难以坚持暑期计划是因为计划制订得过于严苛。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“A simple trick is the “half and half” approach, half the day for something that adds value, reading, helping at home, learning something small, and half for relaxation, friends, or doing absolutely nothing.(一个简单的技巧是“对半分”方法，半天用来做有增益的事：阅读、帮家里干活、学点小技能，另一半时间用来放松、和朋友相处，或是彻底放空什么都不做。)”可知，该方法指一半时间用于成长，一半时间用于休息。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Parents, try being a sounding board instead of a supervisor; maybe a quick weekly check-in over pizza works better than daily reminders.(家长们，试着做一个决策咨询者而非监督者；或许每周边吃披萨边简单聊聊近况，会比每日反复提醒效果更好。)”可知，作者建议家长扮演支持性的倾听者角色。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中“Because when school starts again, what stays is not the checklist — it is the feeling that you had a summer that was actually yours.(因为当新学期开始时，留下来的不是待办清单，而是你拥有过一段真正属于自己的夏天的感受。)”可知，全文核心倡导青少年拥有贴合自身节奏的专属夏日，最适配的标题是“Your Summer, Your Way(你的暑期，你的方式)”。 Passage 12 In the digital age, the art of writing by hand has slowly been reduced to mere entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is crucial to brain health and development, offering multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we reconsidered the potential benefits it may bring to our mental capacities. According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections that are essential for encoding new information and forming memories. A recent investigation, for instance, found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand than for those who typed. Therefore, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on brain health. Handwriting is not only good for our brain health — it also has clear, practical advantages. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This finding extends beyond the classroom as well. People who recorded information on paper calendars displayed more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, consequently, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks. Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been in decline. However, 25 states in the US have reintroduced it into school curricula. This represents a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential for children’s brain development. For example, illiterate children who wrote by hand showed brain activity in the circuit used for learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development. Clearly, handwriting is a valuable activity with the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard,remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead. 1．What is the common view of handwriting in today’s digital era? A．It is no longer as popular as it used to be. B．It should be taught together with typing. C．It is now valued equally with digital tools. D．It remains an essential skill for daily life. 2．What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on regarding handwriting? A．Its role in improving brain connectivity. B．Its advantages in learning and memory tasks. C．Its effect on helping students score higher. D．Its value in adult daily management skills. 3．Why is previous research mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．To add further evidence. B．To make a comparison. C．To show different opinions. D．To present a professional viewpoint. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To compare handwriting with typing. B．To promote handwriting as an art form. C．To introduce a new digital writing tool. D．To emphasize handwriting’s cognitive value. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】文章主要讲述在数字时代手写逐渐沦为消遣，多项研究证明手写能促进大脑神经连接、提升学习与记忆能力，对儿童大脑发育至关重要，呼吁人们不要忽视手写对认知发展的重要价值。 1．细节理解题。根据原文第一段“In the digital age, the art of writing by hand has slowly been reduced to mere entertainment.(在数字时代，手写这门技艺已经慢慢沦为单纯的消遣。)”可知，当下大众普遍认为手写早已不如从前流行。 2．主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“Handwriting is not only good for our brain health — it also has clear, practical advantages. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This finding extends beyond the classroom as well. People who recorded information on paper calendars displayed more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones.(手写不仅有益大脑健康，还有显著的实用优势。研究显示手写记笔记的学生测验分数更高，学习效果更好。这一结论也适用于课堂之外：用纸历记录信息的人大脑活跃度更高，信息提取速度快于使用手机的人。)”可知，本段主要介绍手写在学习、记忆类事务中的各类优势。 3．推理判断题。根据原文第四段“However, 25 states in the US have reintroduced it into school curricula. This represents a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential for children’s brain development.(美国25个州重新将手写纳入校园课程，这是正确的举措，此前的研究也表明手写对儿童大脑发育不可或缺。)”可知，文中提及过往研究是为了给“推广手写课程”补充更多佐证依据。 4．推理判断题。根据原文第一段“However, recent research suggests that this physical act is crucial to brain health and development, offering multiple cognitive benefits.(然而近期研究表明，手写这一行为对大脑健康与发育至关重要，具备多重认知益处。)”以及全文围绕手写对大脑、学习、记忆等认知层面的好处展开论述可知，文章写作目的是强调手写具备的认知价值。 Passage 13 Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available? This question is becoming urgent as the population is aging rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot. This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000. Given this affordability, I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections. Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time. But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties (机能) fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family? 1．What is a robot’s main practical advantage in elder care? A．Its lower long-term cost. B．Its guarantee of total safety. C．Its ability to show friendship. D．Its simple setup and operation. 2．What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Ease. B．Cause. C．Ignore. D．Discover. 3．What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4? A．The urgent need to replace human care. B．The potential of AI in showing empathy. C．The general weakness of human caregivers. D．The importance of human emotional interaction. 4．How does the author sound in the last paragraph? A．Angry and intolerant. B．Reflective and concerned. C．Indifferent and dismissive. D．Sympathetic and confused. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】文章讲述人口老龄化催生养老机器人需求，介绍其成本、服务优势，也反思了其可能带来的社会问题。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring someone to help with aging loved ones is prohibitively expensive — upwards of $75,000 a year for a home health aide and well over $100,000 for a nursing home. In comparison, one estimate places the cost of a humanoid robot at just $20,000.(这听起来或许像科幻故事，但背后的原因很实际，主要是经济原因。雇佣人员照顾年迈亲人的费用高得令人望而却步——一名居家护工年薪高达7.5万美元，养老院费用更是远超10万美元。相比之下，据一项估算，人形机器人的成本仅为2万美元)”以及第三段“A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology.(机器人可能只需一次性投入，维护成本极低，还可通过云计算技术更新系统)”可知，养老机器人最实际的优势是长期使用成本更低。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems.(我曾接诊过一些老年患者，他们因护理疏漏流落街头或严重脱水。续航提升、可自主充电的不知疲倦的机器人能够mitigate这类问题)”可知，机器人可以减少、改善护理疏漏引发的问题，由此猜测mitigate意为“减轻、缓解”，与ease同义。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate than those of humans — a surprising but telling result.(在近期一项研究中，观察者发现人工智能给出的回应比人类更体贴、更富有同情心，这一结果出人意料却很有说服力)”可知，作者引用该研究，意在说明人工智能在共情表达方面具备潜在优势。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But where does that leave us? If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted? Will the neighbors stop checking on her? As her faculties fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family?(但这会让我们身处何种境地？如果我知道奶奶有机器人照料，疲惫下班后我是否会选择不再登门探望？邻居们是否会不再照看她？当她身体机能衰退时，她是否会比起家人，更愿意信赖机器人？)”可知，作者连用多个问句，反思机器人养老带来的人际疏离问题，态度审慎且充满担忧。 Passage 14 According to the World Health Organization, there is a severe shortage of mental health professionals. Roughly one-third of people with mental health conditions, especially in poor countries, receive no treatment at all. Even in wealthy nations, many cannot afford or access timely care. In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative, offering round-the-clock, low-cost support to millions worldwide. Powered by large language models (LLMs), modern chatbots have become more advanced, able to hold natural conversations and adjust replies to suit individual users. To boost their therapeutic effects, researchers have developed specialized tools such as Therabot and Ash. Therabot, trained with simulated dialogues between therapists and patients, cut depressive symptoms by 51% in clinical trials, while Ash can select proper therapeutic methods according to users’ real feelings. Researchers also found users tend to feel less pressured to share personal troubles with an AI than with a human therapist, making the tools a dependable choice for daily mental health care. Yet AI therapy still carries obvious risks. In some extreme cases, chatbots may offer inappropriate and even harmful advice to emotionally fragile users. Besides, they often fail to spot risky crisis thoughts like suicidal tendency or intervene to correct users’ unhealthy behaviors. Worse still, their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly. To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation, researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile, governments are also taking active measures. Several US states have already introduced laws to regulate AI mental health tools and guard against potential risks. Although AI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need. It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved. 1．What contributes to the popularity of AI mental health therapists? A．Higher accessibility. B．More natural experience. C．Better treatment effects. D．Less reliable human therapists. 2．Which of the following is a potential problem of AI mental health tools? A．They add stress to communication. B．They can’t detect unhealthy behaviors. C．They always provide improper suggestions. D．They respond to users with easy approval. 3．What can we learn from last paragraph? A．AI models have replaced human therapists. B．Governments are strictly limiting AI mental tools. C．Joint efforts are being made to improve AI therapy. D．Safety risks of AI therapy have been totally removed. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards AI mental health therapist? A．Cautiously optimistic. B．Reasonably doubtful. C．Entirely opposed. D．Completely indifferent. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】文章先介绍全球心理健康专业人员短缺的现状，引出人工智能聊天机器人成为心理健康辅助新选择，阐述其优势，接着点明AI心理治疗存在的各类隐患，最后说明科研人员与政府正携手完善管控AI心理工具，作者对其发展持谨慎乐观态度。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative, offering round-the-clock, low-cost support to millions worldwide.(为应对这一危机，人工智能聊天机器人成为极具前景的替代方案，为全球数百万人提供全天候、低成本的帮扶。)”可知，AI心理治疗师全天候可用、价格低廉，拥有更高的可获得性，这是它流行的原因。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Worse still, their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly.(更糟糕的是，它们一味附和式的回复会使其无法妥善处理进食障碍等心理问题。)”可知，AI心理工具存在一味轻易认同用户言论的问题。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation, researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile, governments are also taking active measures.(为在安全保障与技术创新二者之间取得平衡，研究人员在优化专业AI模型、搭载危机识别功能，与此同时政府也在采取积极举措。)”可知，科研方与政府正共同发力改进AI心理治疗。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although AI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need. It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved.(尽管目前AI治疗无法完全取代人类治疗师，但它可为有需求的人提供重要的一线帮扶。只要加以规范管控、持续优化升级，它就能为原本无法获得专业救助的人群提供可靠心理健康服务。)”可知，作者既看到弊端、保持谨慎，又看好其后续发展，态度为谨慎且乐观。 Passage 15 Is early intensive (高强度) training the key to becoming a world-class performer? The career of tennis champion Novak Djokovic — who started at four and joined a tennis academy at 12 and won his first major title at 20 — seems to be like that. However, a study published in Science which might be against the common idea suggests this path may be the exception rather than the rule, revealing that true superstars often develop quite differently. Led by sports scientist Arne-Güllich, the research analyzed data from more than 34,000 elite (精英) performers in several areas, including sports, chess, classical music, and academia. It followed talented youngsters into their professional, adult careers. When they examined the data, a striking pattern emerged. In every field studied, elite youth performers and elite adults formed almost entirely separate groups. About 90% of adult superstars had not been outstanding as children. By contrast, only about 10% of top-level child talents went on to become exceptional adults. The study found that exceptional performance in childhood was not just an unreliable predictor of adult success — the two were actually negatively correlated. The research also revealed key behavioral differences. Adult superstars maintained broader interests for much longer. Future elite athletes often played multiple sports before specializing, and their performance initially fell behind more focused peers. However, once they specialized, their progress sped up rapidly — what researchers call better “training efficiency”. Why does this pattern hold? The “search and match” theory suggests exploring various fields helps individuals find their best fit. “Enhanced learning” proposes that diverse experiences improve overall learning ability, making later specialization more effective. The “limited-risk hypothesis (假设)” simply suggests that avoiding early intense focus may prevent burnout and maintain motivation. Dr Güllich emphasizes that his team is not saying the intensive early training does not work. It is a reliable way to produce highly competent people — just not the truly world-class ones. Sports academies and selective schools, in other words, may want to rethink how they do things. 1．Why does the author mention Novak Djokovic in paragraph 1? A．To prove the importance of starting early. B．To show the weakness of a common idea. C．To stress a link between talent and fame. D．To present a popular but later challenged belief. 2．Who will get better “training efficiency”? A．A kid who practices piano 8 hours every day from age four. B．A boy who tries several sports for long and later focus on one. C．A student who drops all hobbies to focuses on school work. D．A player who doubles the training time to strengthen skills. 3．What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A．The benefits of early specialization. B．The prevention of burnout in young athletes. C．The underlying logic of the later excellence. D．The value of maintaining broader interests. 4．What does Dr Güllich suggest doing? A．Doing more research. B．Adjusting current practices. C．Abandoning early intensive training. D．Identifying child excellence earlier. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】文章反驳早期高强度专攻成才的普遍看法，研究表明年少多才、后期深耕的人更易成为顶尖强者，并阐释背后成因，建议调整现有人才培养方式。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Is early intensive training the key to becoming a world-class performer? The career of tennis champion Novak Djokovic — who started at four and joined a tennis academy at 12 and won his first major title at 20 — seems to be like that. However, a study published in Science which might be against the common idea suggests this path may be the exception rather than the rule, revealing that true superstars often develop quite differently. (早期高强度训练是成为世界级选手的关键吗？网球冠军德约科维奇4岁打球、12岁进入网球学院、20岁斩获首个重大赛事冠军，其职业生涯看似印证了这一观点。但《科学》杂志一项研究却颠覆大众认知，这类成长模式只是特例，顶尖人才的成长轨迹往往截然不同。)”可知，本段开篇提出大众观点“早期高强度训练是成为世界级选手的关键”，用德约科维奇的例子印证这个普遍流行的看法，随后转折引出一项研究对该观点的质疑。因此作者提德约科维奇是为了呈现一个流行的、后续被挑战的观点。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“The research also revealed key behavioral differences. Adult superstars maintained broader interests for much longer. Future elite athletes often played multiple sports before specializing, and their performance initially fell behind more focused peers. However, once they specialized, their progress sped up rapidly — what researchers call better ‘training efficiency’. (研究还发现行为差异：顶尖成年人才保持多元兴趣的时间要长得多。未来的精英运动员在专攻之前通常会参加多项运动，他们的表现最初会落后于那些更专注的同龄人。然而，一旦他们专攻某项运动，他们的进步就会迅速加快——研究人员称之为更好的‘训练效率’。)”可知，更好的“训练效率”指的是长期保持广泛兴趣，先尝试多项运动，之后再专注一项，专精后进步飞速，选项B“A boy who tries several sports for long and later focus on one. (一个男孩长期尝试多种运动，后来专注于一项运动。)”符合该定义的描述。 3．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Why does this pattern hold? The ‘search and match’ theory suggests exploring various fields helps individuals find their best fit. ‘Enhanced learning’ proposes that diverse experiences improve overall learning ability, making later specialization more effective. The ‘limited-risk hypothesis’ simply suggests that avoiding early intense focus may prevent burnout and maintain motivation. (为何这种模式会持续存在？‘搜索与匹配’理论认为，探索不同领域有助于个人找到最适合自己的领域。‘强化学习’理论则提出，多样化的经历能提升整体学习能力，使后续的专业化学习更为有效。‘有限风险假设’则简单指出，避免早期过度专注可防止精疲力尽，保持学习动力。)”可知，本段用三个理论解释了“大器晚成（后期专精反而成为顶级选手）”背后的原因，也就是“后来变得卓越的内在逻辑”。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr Güllich emphasizes that his team is not saying the intensive early training does not work. It is a reliable way to produce highly competent people — just not the truly world-class ones. Sports academies and selective schools, in other words, may want to rethink how they do things. (居利希博士强调，他的团队并不是说密集的早期训练不起作用。这是一种培养高素质人才的可靠方式——只是培养不出真正的世界级人才。换言之，体育院校和精英学校可能需要重新思考他们的培养方式。)”可知，居利希博士建议体育院校和精英学校可能需要重新思考他们的培养方式，也就是建议他们调整当前的做法。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
