The long-held assumption that intelligence is the primary driver of academic
achievement is challenged by a recent study in Human Behavior.The study,led by Dr.
Malan from University of London and jointly carried out by a group of international
experts,has revealed that non-cognitive(非认知的)skills,such as motivation,self
regulation and academic interest,are no less important than intelligence in determining
academic success.The influence of these skills accrues throughout a child's education,
with genetic (factors playing a significant role in shaping this developmental
path.
The study tracked over 10,000 children from age 7 to 16 in England and Wales and
used twin studies and DNA analysis to investigate the impact of non-cognitive skills on
academic outcomes as well as the influential factors that affect these skills,like genes and
environment.
One striking finding is the growing role of genetics in shaping non-cognitive skills and
their impact on academic achievement.Researchers created a special method known as the
"polygenic score"to measure these skills and found that genetic effects associated with
non-cognitive skills became increasingly predictive of academic achievement,nearly
doubling between the ages of 7 and 16.By the end of required schooling,genetic influence
on non-cognitive skills was as strong as that on cognitive skills in predicting academic
success.
Besides,by comparing children from the same family,researchers could separate the
impact of shared family environment from genetic factors."We found that how children
were raised in the family played a significant role,although the increasing influence of
non-cognitive genetics on academic achievement was still evident,said Dr.Alleg,a co-
researcher in the study.
The findings have far-reaching implications for education.The study suggests that
schools should develop programs to support students'emotional and social development.
Dr.Malan said,"By doing so,we can create a more inclusive and effective learning
environment for students.
The study also highlights the need for further research into the complex interaction
between genes,environment and education.By understanding these factors,educators and
policymakers can develop more effective strategies to support students'overall
development and achieve better educational outcomes.

第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。
Even if you don't worry that artificial intelligence will destroy the human race,you
might worry that its alarming appetite for electricity will destroy the environment-asking
ChatGPT a question means using ten times more energy than an old-fashioned approach.
With new data centers planned,further growth in energy consumption seems
unavoidable.8 In fact,AI may be less energy-hungry than many people assume.
Better still,AI can help decarbonize the industries that have proved hardest to clean up.
Consider AI's appetite for energy first.The International Energy Agency (IEA)
expects that electricity consumption by data centres could be three times as much in the
next five years.9 Data centres today only account for about 1.5%of the world's
electricity consumption-and the vast majority of that is due to streaming,social media
and online shopping,not Al.
10 AI stands out in identifying complex patterns,processing giant data sets and
boosting systems,all of which can help cut emissions sharply.AI is already helping
improve the efficiency of electrical grids,cut fuel use in shipping and spot otherwise
invisible leaks of methane,a greenhouse gas.
The task for policymakers and industry bosses is to maximize such benefits while
minimizing the climate impacts.The most elegant solution would be for governments to
set a proper price on carbon and leave the market to do its work.11
The first is greater transparency ()From August 2026 the EU will require
some AI developers to report their energy use in detail.A second is to rethink how data
centres operate.The IEA notes that being able to shift workloads between different data
centres at different times could reduce stress and help balance energy grids.Third,tech
firms should hold themselves to their own environmental promises.12 Doubling
down on some approaches would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero.
A
学科素养周测评(五)英语第3页(共4页)》
A.But the concern is misplaced.
B.That approach should be copied elsewhere.
C.Even if energy usage rises,though,the base is still low.
D.For instance,Microsoft aims to become "carbon negative"by 2030.
E.Microsoft's greenhouse-gas emissions are up by almost 30%since 2020.
F.Moreover,some of AI's electricity use will help with greening the economy.
G.But because it remains a distant dream,focusing on other measures is more
realistic.
第二部分语言运用(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A“3 D rendering(渲染)competition”is a contest 13 participants engage in the

participants to create unique animations,based on the 17 (give)video.It has
attracted thousands of 3D artists from around the world,receiving a diverse collection of
18 (imagine)entries that are masterfully created.
Among these,the work of Karaok,a 3D artist from Chengdu China stood out and
