Apart from GEAIR, a domestically-made model, many other innovative robots are under development globally. They operate continuously at a low cost, ensuring full and consistent area coverage. GEAIR GEAIR is the world’s first robot capable of completing the entire crop breeding (培植) process. It significantly accelerates and boosts the efficiency of hybrid breeding. Successful hybrid breeding relies on performing repeated cross-pollination (授粉) within a short window before flowers bloom. The team addressed key challenges like navigating foliage and detecting stigmas by training a model with 12,800 images. GEAIR achieves 85.1% accuracy in identifying target structures and completes pollination in just 15 seconds per flower. Vulcan This weeding robot adopts bright lights and a fast camera to capture clear images, making sure it spots and removes weeds accurately. It targets weeds without harming crops, using powerful, high-speed actuators for reliable results. Farmers can operate it easily from inside the cab(驾驶室) and make quick changes. TerraSentia TerraSentia is a fully automated robot that keeps track of crops during growth. It helps improve farmers’ understanding of plant health and productivity throughout the season and enables farmers to breed crops with better drought resistance and stable production. Virgo Virgo is a tomato-harvesting robot. With sensors and cameras as its eyes, and an AI“brain”, it can operate in large commercial greenhouses at any hour, detecting which tomatoes are ripe for picking. Its gentle arm picks tomatoes without injuring plants and poses no safety risk to nearby workers. The robot's“fingers” are made from food-safe,easy-to-clean plastic. 1. Why are speed and accuracy especially important for GEAIR? A. To lower overall costs. B. To ensure high-quality blooming. C. To achieve full coverage. D. To meet the pollination requirement. 2. Which robot is specifically described as self-operating? A. GEAIR. B. Vulcan. C. TerraSentia. D. Virgo. 3. What shared feature do Virgo and Vulcan have? A. Gentle handling. B. Reliable navigation. C. Smart appearance. D. Consistent performance. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍四款用于智慧农业的农业机器人GEAIR、Vulcan、TerraSentia、Virgo，分别讲解各自功能：育种授粉、除草、监测作物生长、番茄采摘，展现农业科技的发展。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据GEAIR部分“Successful hybrid breeding relies on performing repeated cross-pollination (授粉) within a short window before flowers bloom.(成功的杂交育种依赖于在花朵绽放前短暂的时间窗口内完成反复异花授粉。)”可知，GEAIR需要速度与准确度是为了满足授粉的时间窗口要求。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据TerraSentia部分“TerraSentia is a fully automated robot that keeps track of crops during growth.(TerraSentia是一款全自动机器人，可以追踪作物生长全过程。)”可知，其fully automated对应self‑operating (自主运行)。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Vulcan部分“It targets weeds without harming crops, using powerful, high-speed actuators for reliable results.(它专门针对杂草，而不会伤害作物，利用强大的高速执行器确保效果可靠。)”以及Virgo部分“Its gentle arm picks tomatoes without injuring plants and poses no safety risk to nearby workers.(它那轻柔的机械臂在采摘番茄时不会伤害植株，也不会对附近的工作人员构成安全威胁。)”可知，二者共同点是作业时轻柔，不伤害作物。 B The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom. I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher. A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazybones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, In the twenty-five years that followed, I worked as a professional journalist. Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire. Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after. 4. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently? A. Stepping on the American soil for the first time. B. His mother’s miserable death. C. Being exposed to Greek literary works. D. Following the prettiest girl in his class. 5. Which words best describe Miss Hurd as a teacher? A. Strict but inspiring. B. Tough but indifferent. C. Impatient but caring. D. Serious but approachable. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired. B. Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation. C. Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students. D. Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style. 7. Why does the author call Miss Hurd a “catalyst”? A. To stress her role in starting his writing career. B. To suggest she changed his personality completely. C. To indicate she was the only person who helped him. D. To show she was as powerful as a chemical substance. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了作者回忆自己的老师Marjorie Hurd，讲述这位老师如何影响并改变了作者的人生，将作者的悲痛转化为写作动力，引导作者走上新闻写作道路。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins.(她向我介绍希腊丰富的文学作品，让我对饱受战争蹂躏的祖国有了全新的看法，也让我为自己的出身感到自豪。)”可知，接触希腊文学作品，让作者对祖国有了不一样的认识。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazybones.(赫德小姐头发花白夹杂黑发，眼神坚定，是个严厉的女人，她对懒人没有耐心。)”以及“Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language.(她的努力激励我理解英语的逻辑与结构。)”可知，Hurd老师严格且富有启发性。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.(这些学生大多来自问题最严重的家庭，但她用自己独特的严厉关爱方式，时而鞭策、时而鼓励他们，直到点燃他们内心的火花。)”可知，Hurd老师采用独特的方式来教育这些学生。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.(如果没有Hurd老师，我不会成为一名记者。她是促使我进入新闻行业的催化剂，也间接带来了之后所有美好的事情。)”可知，作者称Hurd老师为催化剂，是为了强调她在开启自己写作生涯方面起到的作用。 C Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 percent fewer terrestrial insects now than in 1990. This includes those we rely on to pollinate our crops. If we don't solve this problem very soon, some species will disappear. There are many causes for the insect decline, but insecticides are a major part of the problem. Those used today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more toxic than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used whether pests are present or not. Overall, the amount of pesticide applied to the land is decreasing, but this is a grossly misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. But because modern insecticides are so much more toxic, the global toxicity of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period. To the public, one often-touted approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods. These varied techniques are gathered under the name of integrated pest management (IPM) and have been around for decades. They offer effective crop protection and include methods such as crop rotation and the use of natural predators. But their adoption has been incredibly slow, because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option. As a result, IPM methods are unfortunately seldom used today. Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the minimal dose we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a fraction of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. They would spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. Reducing insecticide doses won’t solve the insect decline problem, but it is a move that could win us time to make food production more sustainable and cultivate farmlands in a greener way. And that will allow insects to recover. 8. According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE? A. The toxicity in insecticides used before persists longer. B. Toxic-free insecticides are now used to keep pests away. C. The amount of toxicity used per acre is less than before. D. Currently-used pesticides are much more toxic than before. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word often-touted in paragraph 4? A. Broadly-publicized. B. Generally-proved. C. Recently-created. D. Frequently-criticized. 10. What is the best way to treat the insect decline? A. To research and develop new pesticides. B. To protect crops rather than killing out insects. C. To raise large-scale natural predators of insects. D. To shift to the IPM pesticide-controlling method. 11. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To propose a practical shift of agricultural practice. B. To present conflicting evidence about insect decline. C. To criticize farmers for their over-reliance on spraying. D. To alert readers to the hidden danger of modern pesticides. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要分析昆虫锐减的原因并提出转变农业防治重心的应对办法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Those used today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more toxic than some that were banned in the 1970s. (如今使用的那些（杀虫剂）比20世纪70年代被禁用的一些杀虫剂持续时间更长，毒性最高可达其一万倍。)”可知，目前使用的杀虫剂毒性比以前大得多。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“To the public, one often-touted approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods. (对公众而言，一种often-touted方法是使用无农药的害虫防治方法。)”以及后文“These varied techniques are gathered under the name of integrated pest management (IPM) and have been around for decades. (这些各式各样的技术统称为害虫综合防治（IPM），已经存在数十年了。)”可知，IPM这种无农药害虫防治方法已经存在几十年了，且是面向公众经常被宣传的方法，故“often-touted”意为“被广泛宣传的”，与Broadly-publicized语义一致。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. (在没有快速解决方案的情况下，我们反而认为，我们需要在关注点上做出微妙的转变，从消灭害虫转向保护作物。)”可知，作者认为最好的方法是把重点从杀死害虫转向保护作物。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. (在没有快速解决方案的情况下，我们反而认为，我们需要在关注点上做出微妙的转变，从消灭害虫转向保护作物。)”可知，全文围绕昆虫锐减的现状展开，最终提出调整农业生产重心、减少杀虫剂用量的可行方案，文章旨在提出切实可行的农业生产方式转变的建议。 D I’ve previously written that artificial intelligence operates differently from the human mind. My idea of anti-intelligence is an attempt to describe that difference more precisely. When people hear the prefix “anti,” they tend to assume opposition or inferiority. However, what we’re encountering in large language models (LLM) is not a weaker form of thinking but a fundamentally different architecture operating behind the same medium. A recent paper in Nature Machine Intelligence notes that LLMs often behave in ways that are strikingly realistic yet remain fundamentally “unhuman” in their underlying structure. The word “unhuman” highlights the strange condition where language similar to human expression comes from a system that has none of those human experiences, while human mind is a system in which meaning arises from our lived experience. When we speak or write, our words carry marks of that experience. The “anti” part of “anti-intelligence” is that LLMs operate without that continuity, but generate sentences through statistical relationships within vast collections of information. Current discussion around AI assumes that humans and machines occupy the same range of intelligence. And then, the debate quickly turns to whether machines will outperform us or when artificial systems might eventually outthink humans. Those questions feel natural because we imagine a single line where intelligence progresses — and where humans and AI sit along points on that single line. But that may be wrong. If AI operates in a different way altogether, the comparison itself becomes misleading. Human cognition brings experience, consequences and judgment into every thought. Artificial systems bring pattern recognition. When these two interact, the results can be productive and even transformative. Scientific progress often begins with what looks like a mistake. The imaginary number “i” once appeared to be a mathematical curiosity before it became essential to modern imaging technologies. In such cases, the discovery did not deny what scientists already understood. It expanded the conceptual space in which that knowledge made sense.Anti-intelligence may represent a similar expansion. What LLMs reveal isn’t that machines have become intelligent in the human sense, but that language itself can now operate within a system that has no mind behind it. 12. What does the author indicate by coining the term “anti-intelligence”? A. It is a weaker version of human thinking. B. It will eventually outperform human intelligence. C. It detects statistical patterns from lived experience. D. It operates without inner processing of the experience. 13. Which of the following best describes the author’s view on the interaction between human cognition and AI? A. Concerned. B. Dismissive. C. Optimistic. D. Reserved. 14. Why does the author mention the imaginary number i in the last paragraph? A. To prove that LLMs are a mathematical curiosity. B. To show that new concepts can expand our understanding. C. To argue that AI will become as essential as modern imaging. D. To illustrate that scientific progress often comes from mistakes. 15. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Anti-intelligence: How LLMs Use Statistics to Generate Feelings B. Anti-intelligence: When Language Operates Independently of Mind C. Anti-intelligence: How Statistical Patterns Replace Lived Experience D. Anti-intelligence: The Risk of Machines Imitating Human Expression 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者提出反智能概念，阐释大语言模型脱离人类心智的运行本质。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The “anti” part of “anti-intelligence” is that LLMs operate without that continuity, but generate sentences through statistical relationships within vast collections of information. (“反智能”中的“反”部分在于：大型语言模型在没有这种连续性的情况下运作，而是通过海量信息集合中的统计关系来生成句子。)”可知，反智能指大语言模型运行时没有人类经历这一内在处理过程。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When these two interact, the results can be productive and even transformative. (当这两者相互作用时，其结果可能富有成效，甚至具有变革性。)”可知，作者认为人类认知与人工智能的互动可以富有成效、甚至具有变革性，说明作者对此持乐观态度。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In such cases, the discovery did not deny what scientists already understood. It expanded the conceptual space in which that knowledge made sense. (在这些情况下，这一发现并没有否定科学家已经理解的东西。它扩展了使那些知识得以成立的概念空间。)”可知，作者提及虚数i是为了说明新概念能够拓展我们的认知。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“What LLMs reveal isn’t that machines have become intelligent in the human sense, but that language itself can now operate within a system that has no mind behind it. (大型语言模型所揭示的，并不是机器已经在人类意义上变得智能，而是语言本身现在可以在一个背后没有心智的系统中运作。)”可知，全文围绕“反智能”的核心内涵展开，最终点明大语言模型揭示了语言可以在无思维支撑的系统中独立运行，B选项“反智能：当语言独立于心智运作”精准覆盖文章核心主旨，适合作为文章的最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Globalization has connected the world in ways our grandparents could scarcely have imagined. Products, ideas, and cultural expressions now flow across borders with unprecedented (前所未有的) speed. ____16____ On one hand, this exchange enriches societies with new foods, music, art forms, and perspectives; on the other, it raises concerns about cultural homogenization — the fear that local traditions and identities will be swallowed by a global monoculture. Critics of globalization often point to the spread of American fast-food chains, Hollywood movies, and English-language pop music as evidence of cultural imperialism. ____17____ In Japan, for example, baseball — an American import — has been thoroughly Japanized over more than a century, becoming intertwined with local values of discipline, teamwork, and respect. Moreover, globalization can actually revitalize (复兴) local cultures rather than destroy them. When a traditional craft or performance gains international recognition, it often experiences a revival at home. ____18____ The global popularity of yoga is another example. It has funded the preservation of classical yoga traditions in India that might otherwise have declined. The key to maintaining cultural diversity in a globalized world may lie in what sociologists call“glocalization” — the adaptation of global influences to local contexts. ____19____ When communities feel secure in their cultural identity, they are more likely to engage with outside influences creatively rather than defensively. ____20____ What is different today is the speed and scale of the exchange, not the fundamental process. The challenge for the twenty-first century is not to stop cultural cross-pollination — an impossible task — but to ensure that the benefits of cultural exchange are shared equitably and that no culture is forced to sacrifice its identity in the process. A. But history shows that cultures rarely adopt foreign influences on a large scale without adapting them to local sensibilities. B. The international interest in traditional Chinese embroidery (刺绣) has led to a surge of young people in China learning it. C. This phenomenon recognizes that cultural exchange is never a one-way street but a process of innovative adaptation. D. It has also prompted many governments to restrict foreign cultural imports to protect local industries. E. This has sparked an intense debate about whether cultural diversity is under threat. F. This is true when local traditions are too weak to resist external pressures. G. Ultimately, cultures have always borrowed from one another. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了全球化对文化多样性的影响，指出文化全球化并非单向的文化帝国主义，而是“全球本土化”的创新适应过程，最终强调文化交流自古以来就存在，关键在于公平分享交流成果。 【16题详解】 由上文“Products, ideas, and cultural expressions now flow across borders with unprecedented (前所未有的) speed. (产品、思想和文化表达现在以前所未有的速度跨越国界流动。)”以及下文“On one hand, this exchange enriches societies with new foods, music, art forms, and perspectives; on the other, it raises concerns about cultural homogenization — the fear that local traditions and identities will be swallowed by a global monoculture. (一方面，这种交流以新的食物、音乐、艺术形式和视角丰富了社会；另一方面，它引发了对文化同质化的担忧——担心地方传统和身份将被全球单一文化吞噬。)”可知，本空要说这引发了关于文化多样性是否受到威胁的激烈争论，E选项“This has sparked an intense debate about whether cultural diversity is under threat. (这引发了关于文化多样性是否受到威胁的激烈争论。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This”指代上文的“flow across borders with unprecedented speed”，且该选项中的“debate about whether cultural diversity is under threat”与下文的“On one hand...on the other”形成呼应，表示下文将展开争论双方的观点。 【17题详解】 由上文“Critics of globalization often point to the spread of American fast-food chains, Hollywood movies, and English-language pop music as evidence of cultural imperialism. (全球化的批评者经常指出美国快餐连锁店、好莱坞电影和英语流行音乐的传播是文化帝国主义的证据。)”以及下文“In Japan, for example, baseball — an American import — has been thoroughly Japanized over more than a century, becoming intertwined with local values of discipline, teamwork, and respect. (例如在日本，棒球——一项美国引进的运动——经过一个多世纪已彻底日本化，与当地的纪律、团队合作和尊重等价值观交织在一起。)”可知，本空要说文化很少大规模采用外来影响而不进行本土化适应，A选项“But history shows that cultures rarely adopt foreign influences on a large scale without adapting them to local sensibilities. (但历史表明，文化很少大规模采用外来影响而不将其适应于当地的文化民情。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“But”表示转折，回应上文的“cultural imperialism”批评，且该选项中的“adapting them to local sensibilities”与下文的“thoroughly Japanized”和“intertwined with local values”相呼应，表示外来文化会被本土化改造。 【18题详解】 由上文“When a traditional craft or performance gains international recognition, it often experiences a revival at home. (当一种传统工艺或表演获得国际认可时，它通常会在本国经历复兴。)”以及下文“The global popularity of yoga is another example. (瑜伽的全球流行是另一个例子。)”可知，本空要说国际关注带动本土传统复兴的具体例子，B选项“The international interest in traditional Chinese embroidery (刺绣) has led to a surge of young people in China learning it. (国际社会对中国传统刺绣的兴趣导致中国学习刺绣的年轻人激增。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的具体例子与下文的“another example”形成并列举例结构。 【19题详解】 由上文“The key to maintaining cultural diversity in a globalized world may lie in what sociologists call ‘glocalization’— the adaptation of global influences to local contexts. (在全球化世界中保持文化多样性的关键可能在于社会学家所称的‘全球本土化’——将全球影响适应于当地语境。)”以及下文“When communities feel secure in their cultural identity, they are more likely to engage with outside influences creatively rather than defensively. (当社区对自己的文化身份感到安全时，他们更可能创造性地而非防御性地与外部影响互动。)”可知，本空要说这种现象认识到文化交流是双向的创新适应过程，C选项“This phenomenon recognizes that cultural exchange is never a one-way street but a process of innovative adaptation. (这种现象认识到文化交流从来不是单行道，而是一个创新适应的过程。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This phenomenon”指代上文的“glocalization”，且该选项中的“never a one-way street but a process of innovative adaptation”与上文的“adaptation of global influences to local contexts”和下文的“creatively rather than defensively”相呼应，表示全球本土化的核心理念。 【20题详解】 由下文“What is different today is the speed and scale of the exchange, not the fundamental process. (今天不同的是交流的速度和规模，而非基本过程。)”可知，本空要说文化之间一直相互借鉴，G选项“Ultimately, cultures have always borrowed from one another. (最终，文化之间一直在相互借鉴。)”能引出下文，符合题意，该选项中的“cultures have always borrowed from one another”与下文的“What is different today is the speed and scale of the exchange, not the fundamental process.”形成呼应，表示文化交流是自古以来的常态，只是速度和规模变了。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty retorts (反驳), so when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate competition, I was ____21____ confident.

He could still walk, but only with a cane. He could eat solid foods, though with trouble, and could drink the medication powder he mixed into water — but he began coughing more and more as he labored to swallow anything. Though his body was failing him, Paul was determined to keep our bond free of sorrow. Through messages, he sent us texts encouraging Evan and me to spare him no humor during the time we had left. So jokes, GIFs and memes became the rule. Then he began showing us the“art” he was making. He used his fingers, technically, but not in the way an artist holds a brush; Paul merely typed the words of what he wanted to see into Midjourney, an AI image generator. Seconds later, Midjourney produced four images onto his screen. To us, they looked like real paintings and that no painter would create this way made it all the more humorous. Pretty quickly, Evan and I started making AI pictures with our own prompts too. We made thousands. Any random thought that crossed our minds, Midjourney absorbed and spat out. Later, beginning that January with an image called“Tension at the Golden Corral buffet.”, we started talking about putting together a 2024 calendar of our AI artwork. It was full of strange creatures and scenes. The calendar was a piece of physical media that the three of us could share throughout the year. We also planned to make a new calendar for 2025 and compile our favorite works into a memory book. I could probably never argue in favor of what the technology of artificial intelligence might ultimately bring, or its future effect on artists, writers and culture. It does scare me a little. But one thing I am absolutely sure of: AIbrought precious warmth and laughter to my friend Paul struggling with ALS (渐冻症). 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: As Paul’s health slowly worsened, our AI creation became our closest bond. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: We spread our printed-out calendars over the desk, with those magic-filled pictures. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As Paul’s health slowly worsened, our AI creation became our closest bond. Stricken by ALS, his muscles grew increasingly stiff, making even the simplest typing an exhausting task. Nevertheless, he never abandoned this warm pastime that bonded us. Every afternoon, propped up on his bed, he would hold his breath and type prompts bit by bit, patiently awaiting the images generated by AI. Evan and I kept him company all the time, bouncing off weird and creative ideas and sharing hilarious comments on every unique artwork. These precious moments effectively dispelled the gloom brought by his disease. We spread our printed-out calendars over the desk, with those magic-filled pictures. The instant Paul caught sight of them, his pale face lit up with a gentle and heartfelt smile. Weak as he was, he still teased about our strange yet adorable creations, filling the room with laughter. We flipped through the pages slowly, recalling every blissful moment we had spent together. Cold and mechanical as AI technology is, it served as a warm link connecting our hearts and brightening Paul’ s tough days. Beyond doubt, this calendar is not merely a collection of AI artworks, but an eternal treasure witnessing our priceless and unshakable friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述身患渐冻症的保罗身体日渐衰弱，却始终乐观坚强。他借助AI绘图工具创作画作，和室友通过趣味AI创作排解病痛阴霾、维系珍贵情谊，共同制作艺术日历，让冰冷的科技承载温暖友谊的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写保罗身体持续恶化，依旧坚持AI创作，作者与埃文陪伴左右、头脑风暴创意，三人合力完成2024年专属艺术日历。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写三人翻看成品日历，满屋欢笑、回忆美好时光，作者感悟冰冷的AI科技因真挚友谊变得温暖珍贵。 2. 续写线索：身体恶化——坚持创作——陪伴相伴——合力制作——完成日历——翻看作品——欢笑回忆——感悟友谊 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①生成：generate/produce ②陪伴：keep sb. company/accompany sb. 情绪类 ①有趣的：hilarious/funny ②阴郁：gloom/depression 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Nevertheless, he never abandoned this warm pastime that bonded us.

Apart from GEAIR, a domestically-made model, many other innovative robots are under development globally. They operate continuously at a low cost, ensuring full and consistent area coverage. GEAIR GEAIR is the world’s first robot capable of completing the entire crop breeding (培植) process. It significantly accelerates and boosts the efficiency of hybrid breeding. Successful hybrid breeding relies on performing repeated cross-pollination (授粉) within a short window before flowers bloom. The team addressed key challenges like navigating foliage and detecting stigmas by training a model with 12,800 images. GEAIR achieves 85.1% accuracy in identifying target structures and completes pollination in just 15 seconds per flower. Vulcan This weeding robot adopts bright lights and a fast camera to capture clear images, making sure it spots and removes weeds accurately. It targets weeds without harming crops, using powerful, high-speed actuators for reliable results. Farmers can operate it easily from inside the cab(驾驶室) and make quick changes. TerraSentia TerraSentia is a fully automated robot that keeps track of crops during growth. It helps improve farmers’ understanding of plant health and productivity throughout the season and enables farmers to breed crops with better drought resistance and stable production. Virgo Virgo is a tomato-harvesting robot. With sensors and cameras as its eyes, and an AI“brain”, it can operate in large commercial greenhouses at any hour, detecting which tomatoes are ripe for picking. Its gentle arm picks tomatoes without injuring plants and poses no safety risk to nearby workers. The robot's“fingers” are made from food-safe,easy-to-clean plastic. 1. Why are speed and accuracy especially important for GEAIR? A. To lower overall costs. B. To ensure high-quality blooming. C. To achieve full coverage. D. To meet the pollination requirement. 2. Which robot is specifically described as self-operating? A. GEAIR. B. Vulcan. C. TerraSentia. D. Virgo. 3. What shared feature do Virgo and Vulcan have? A. Gentle handling. B. Reliable navigation. C. Smart appearance. D. Consistent performance. B The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom. I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher. A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazybones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, In the twenty-five years that followed, I worked as a professional journalist. Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire. Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after. 4. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently? A. Stepping on the American soil for the first time. B. His mother’s miserable death. C. Being exposed to Greek literary works. D. Following the prettiest girl in his class. 5. Which words best describe Miss Hurd as a teacher? A. Strict but inspiring. B. Tough but indifferent. C. Impatient but caring. D. Serious but approachable. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired. B. Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation. C. Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students. D. Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style. 7. Why does the author call Miss Hurd a “catalyst”? A. To stress her role in starting his writing career. B. To suggest she changed his personality completely. C. To indicate she was the only person who helped him. D. To show she was as powerful as a chemical substance. C Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 percent fewer terrestrial insects now than in 1990. This includes those we rely on to pollinate our crops. If we don't solve this problem very soon, some species will disappear. There are many causes for the insect decline, but insecticides are a major part of the problem. Those used today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more toxic than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used whether pests are present or not. Overall, the amount of pesticide applied to the land is decreasing, but this is a grossly misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. But because modern insecticides are so much more toxic, the global toxicity of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period. To the public, one often-touted approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods. These varied techniques are gathered under the name of integrated pest management (IPM) and have been around for decades. They offer effective crop protection and include methods such as crop rotation and the use of natural predators. But their adoption has been incredibly slow, because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option. As a result, IPM methods are unfortunately seldom used today. Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the minimal dose we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a fraction of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. They would spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. Reducing insecticide doses won’t solve the insect decline problem, but it is a move that could win us time to make food production more sustainable and cultivate farmlands in a greener way. And that will allow insects to recover. 8. According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE? A. The toxicity in insecticides used before persists longer. B. Toxic-free insecticides are now used to keep pests away. C. The amount of toxicity used per acre is less than before. D. Currently-used pesticides are much more toxic than before. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word often-touted in paragraph 4? A. Broadly-publicized. B. Generally-proved. C. Recently-created. D. Frequently-criticized. 10. What is the best way to treat the insect decline? A. To research and develop new pesticides. B. To protect crops rather than killing out insects. C. To raise large-scale natural predators of insects. D. To shift to the IPM pesticide-controlling method. 11. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To propose a practical shift of agricultural practice. B. To present conflicting evidence about insect decline. C. To criticize farmers for their over-reliance on spraying. D. To alert readers to the hidden danger of modern pesticides. D I’ve previously written that artificial intelligence operates differently from the human mind. My idea of anti-intelligence is an attempt to describe that difference more precisely. When people hear the prefix “anti,” they tend to assume opposition or inferiority. However, what we’re encountering in large language models (LLM) is not a weaker form of thinking but a fundamentally different architecture operating behind the same medium. A recent paper in Nature Machine Intelligence notes that LLMs often behave in ways that are strikingly realistic yet remain fundamentally “unhuman” in their underlying structure. The word “unhuman” highlights the strange condition where language similar to human expression comes from a system that has none of those human experiences, while human mind is a system in which meaning arises from our lived experience. When we speak or write, our words carry marks of that experience. The “anti” part of “anti-intelligence” is that LLMs operate without that continuity, but generate sentences through statistical relationships within vast collections of information. Current discussion around AI assumes that humans and machines occupy the same range of intelligence. And then, the debate quickly turns to whether machines will outperform us or when artificial systems might eventually outthink humans. Those questions feel natural because we imagine a single line where intelligence progresses — and where humans and AI sit along points on that single line. But that may be wrong. If AI operates in a different way altogether, the comparison itself becomes misleading. Human cognition brings experience, consequences and judgment into every thought. Artificial systems bring pattern recognition. When these two interact, the results can be productive and even transformative. Scientific progress often begins with what looks like a mistake. The imaginary number “i” once appeared to be a mathematical curiosity before it became essential to modern imaging technologies. In such cases, the discovery did not deny what scientists already understood. It expanded the conceptual space in which that knowledge made sense.Anti-intelligence may represent a similar expansion. What LLMs reveal isn’t that machines have become intelligent in the human sense, but that language itself can now operate within a system that has no mind behind it. 12. What does the author indicate by coining the term “anti-intelligence”? A. It is a weaker version of human thinking. B. It will eventually outperform human intelligence. C. It detects statistical patterns from lived experience. D. It operates without inner processing of the experience. 13.

Products, ideas, and cultural expressions now flow across borders with unprecedented (前所未有的) speed. ____16____ On one hand, this exchange enriches societies with new foods, music, art forms, and perspectives; on the other, it raises concerns about cultural homogenization — the fear that local traditions and identities will be swallowed by a global monoculture. Critics of globalization often point to the spread of American fast-food chains, Hollywood movies, and English-language pop music as evidence of cultural imperialism. ____17____ In Japan, for example, baseball — an American import — has been thoroughly Japanized over more than a century, becoming intertwined with local values of discipline, teamwork, and respect. Moreover, globalization can actually revitalize (复兴) local cultures rather than destroy them. When a traditional craft or performance gains international recognition, it often experiences a revival at home. ____18____ The global popularity of yoga is another example. It has funded the preservation of classical yoga traditions in India that might otherwise have declined. The key to maintaining cultural diversity in a globalized world may lie in what sociologists call“glocalization” — the adaptation of global influences to local contexts. ____19____ When communities feel secure in their cultural identity, they are more likely to engage with outside influences creatively rather than defensively. ____20____ What is different today is the speed and scale of the exchange, not the fundamental process. The challenge for the twenty-first century is not to stop cultural cross-pollination — an impossible task — but to ensure that the benefits of cultural exchange are shared equitably and that no culture is forced to sacrifice its identity in the process. A. But history shows that cultures rarely adopt foreign influences on a large scale without adapting them to local sensibilities. B. The international interest in traditional Chinese embroidery (刺绣) has led to a surge of young people in China learning it. C. This phenomenon recognizes that cultural exchange is never a one-way street but a process of innovative adaptation. D. It has also prompted many governments to restrict foreign cultural imports to protect local industries. E. This has sparked an intense debate about whether cultural diversity is under threat. F. This is true when local traditions are too weak to resist external pressures. G. Ultimately, cultures have always borrowed from one another. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty retorts (反驳), so when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate competition, I was ____21____ confident.

He could still walk, but only with a cane. He could eat solid foods, though with trouble, and could drink the medication powder he mixed into water — but he began coughing more and more as he labored to swallow anything. Though his body was failing him, Paul was determined to keep our bond free of sorrow. Through messages, he sent us texts encouraging Evan and me to spare him no humor during the time we had left. So jokes, GIFs and memes became the rule. Then he began showing us the“art” he was making. He used his fingers, technically, but not in the way an artist holds a brush; Paul merely typed the words of what he wanted to see into Midjourney, an AI image generator. Seconds later, Midjourney produced four images onto his screen. To us, they looked like real paintings and that no painter would create this way made it all the more humorous. Pretty quickly, Evan and I started making AI pictures with our own prompts too. We made thousands. Any random thought that crossed our minds, Midjourney absorbed and spat out. Later, beginning that January with an image called“Tension at the Golden Corral buffet.”, we started talking about putting together a 2024 calendar of our AI artwork. It was full of strange creatures and scenes. The calendar was a piece of physical media that the three of us could share throughout the year. We also planned to make a new calendar for 2025 and compile our favorite works into a memory book. I could probably never argue in favor of what the technology of artificial intelligence might ultimately bring, or its future effect on artists, writers and culture. It does scare me a little. But one thing I am absolutely sure of: AIbrought precious warmth and laughter to my friend Paul struggling with ALS (渐冻症). 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: As Paul’s health slowly worsened, our AI creation became our closest bond. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: We spread our printed-out calendars over the desk, with those magic-filled pictures. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
