第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In today’s global trade, product safety is extremely important. Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark, which proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company’s own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese “CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the “CCC” mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important. The French “FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守). Codes like “SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
1. Which mark is required for a digital camera to be sold in Europe?
A. FR.
B. CE.
C. SKC.
D. RoHS.
2. Which risk is least likely to occur according to this product label?
A. Cuts.
B. Poisoning.
C. Burns.
D. Choking.
3. What can be learned about this product from the label?
A. It is allowed to be sold in China.
B. Its packaging cannot be recycled.
C. It can be opened by children alone.
D. It restricts certain harmful substances.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了全球贸易中的产品标签与安全标识。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark. (例如,在欧盟销售的电气设备必须带有CE标识)”可知,相机作为电气设备,在欧洲销售必须带有CE标识。

A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns. Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms. (本产品含有纽扣电池。吞下纽扣电池或硬币电池可能导致体内化学灼伤。电池液有毒,可能引发头晕及其他严重症状)”可知,提到了窒息风险(Choking)、化学灼伤(Burns)和中毒(Poisoning),但没有提到割伤(Cuts)相关的风险。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules (RoHS标识表明该产品按照欧盟法规限制了有害物质的使用)”及标签上的RoHS标识可知,该产品限制了某些有害物质的使用。

Jessica Matthews is an inventor who uses technology to do social good. Born in the United States to Nigerian parents, Jessica grew up experiencing two different cultures. This unique background inspired her to think about global challenges in new ways.
At just 19 years old, while studying mechanical engineering in college, Jessica and her classmates brainstormed a groundbreaking idea: a soccer ball that could produce electricity. The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families struggled without regular electricity. The Soccket Ball, a name combining “soccer” and “socket”, looks like any other soccer ball, but it has a special feature. As you play with it, the ball captures the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power small devices like LED lights. For many families without regular electricity, this invention can make a big difference.
Despite gaining support from global organizations and media attention, the product faced unexpected difficulties after its launch. Many users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to live up to the promised three years of useful life. The problems led to criticism from users and negative headlines, putting pressure on Uncharted Play, the company Jessica founded. The team openly admitted that they hadn’t expected the equipment to be so damaged by rough play in the country and promised to revise the design with stronger materials and improved internal parts.
Despite these setbacks, Jessica and her team at Uncharted Play continued to work on energy solutions. Their latest invention, a portable jump rope that generates electricity, builds on the Soccket’s success with a more durable, lightweight design. Designed for both children and adults, the jump rope can power small devices like phones or flashlights, expanding the reach of their mission. Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits education, health, and economic opportunities. Her journey proves that even simple, fun activities-like playing soccer or jumping rope-can be transformed into powerful tools to address pressing global affairs.
4. What inspired Jessica to invent the Soccket Ball?
A. Her mechanical engineering studies. B. Her trip to America with her family.
C. The energy shortage problem she noticed. D. Her unique cross-cultural background.
5. Why did the Soccket Ball disappoint users?
A. It didn’t last as long as expected. B. It performed with high costs.
C. It was uncomfortable to play with. D. It was criticized by the media.
6. What does Jessica finally hope to achieve?
A. To discover more possible tools for power generation.
B. To improve people’s lives through sports and play.
C. To achieve worldwide market success for her inventions.
D. To solve global power shortage with playful solutions.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Jessica?
A. Gifted and selfless. B. Humorous and polite.
C. Creative and responsible. D. Outgoing and careful.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了发明家Jessica Matthews如何利用科技解决社会问题,特别是通过趣味运动设备为缺电地区提供清洁能源的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families struggled without regular electricity. (这个发明的想法来自一次去尼日利亚乡下的家庭旅行,在那里她亲眼目睹了没有常规电力供应的家庭是如何艰难生活的。)”可知,她注意到当地能源短缺问题,这启发了她发明Soccket Ball。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Many users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to live up to the promised three years of useful life.(许多用户反映,这些球在几个月内就损坏或停止工作了,未能达到承诺的三年的使用寿命。)”可知,Soccket Ball让用户失望是因为它的使用寿命没有预期的那么长。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits education, health, and economic opportunities. (Jessica的核心目标始终未变:为世界各地因电力短缺而限制教育、健康和经济机会的人们提供清洁的可再生能源。)”可知,Jessica最终希望用有趣的解决方案来解决全球电力短缺问题。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中她发明发电足球的创意以及最后一段中“Their latest invention, a portable jump rope that generates electricity, builds on the Soccket’s success with a more durable, lightweight design. (他们的最新发明是一款便携式发电跳绳,它在Soccket成功的基础上采用了更耐用、更轻便的设计。)”可知,她富有创造力;根据第一段“Jessica Matthews is an inventor who uses technology to do social good. (Jessica Matthews是一位利用科技造福社会的发明家。)”以及她坚持为缺电地区提供清洁能源的目标可知,她富有责任感。因此用“有创造力且有责任心”描述Jessica最为贴切。

You open a free weather app. Seconds later, an ad for running shoes appears. Have you ever wondered how much the advertiser paid to reach you?
When you visit a website or open an app, your personal information, including location, device type, and browsing habits, is packaged into an “ad request.” This request is sent to an ad marketplace. Advertisers then bid (竞拍) in real time for the chance to show you an ad. The highest bidder wins, and their ad appears on your screen. All of this happens in less than 100 milliseconds.
This brings us to an uncomfortable truth: if you are not paying for the product, you are the product. Instead of charging you money, advertisers collect your data and sell access to your attention. You are what is being traded.
So what price do advertisers put on a person? To get reliable figures, researchers ran their own advertising campaigns. They analyzed one full year of mobile browsing data from 1,600 users. It turned out that a typical user cost advertisers only about 2.5 cents over the year. Most people cost advertisers less than 10 cents in total. But about 2% of users cost between one and ten dollars. Who are these valuable individuals? Those who share data about their exact location, frequent purchases, or specific interests are considered far more valuable.
Some might say this system works for everyone: users get free content, advertisers find potential customers, and websites earn money. But privacy experts ask a harder question: How many of us truly understand what we are giving away? Each click, each search, each location update becomes a data point. Together, these points create a detailed picture of who you are — sometimes more detailed than you would ever accept.
The team later developed a browser tool to show users their true price. Their goal is simple: transparency (公开透明). After all, if you are the product, should you not know what you are worth?
8. How does an ad reach a user?
A. The users choose ads themselves. B. Advertisers compete to display ads.
C. Marketplaces sell the user’s identity. D. Apps select one from browsing history.
9. What can we learn about the research findings?
A. Each ad costs about 2.5 cents.
B. Purchase history is the top pricing factor.
C. High-value users form a large group.
D. Richer data increase users’ advertising value.
10. Which of the following may privacy experts suggest?
A. Stop using free online services. B. Share details for personalized ads.
C. Weigh free content against data exposure. D. Compare prices across advertising marketplaces.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward the system?
A. Cautiously critical. B. Strongly opposed. C. Largely neutral. D. Generally supportive.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了免费应用背后的实时广告竞价机制,揭示免费产品中用户本身成为交易商品的事实,通过调研数据说明用户数据丰富度与广告价值的关联,呼吁公众关注个人数据隐私,提升广告定价透明度。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Advertisers then bid (竞拍) in real time for the chance to show you an ad. The highest bidder wins, and their ad appears on your screen.(随后广告主会实时竞拍向你展示广告的机会,出价最高者胜出,其广告就会出现在你的屏幕上。)”可知,广告是通过广告商竞争投放广告送到用户面前的。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It turned out that a typical user cost advertisers only about 2.5 cents over the year…Those who share data about their exact location, frequent purchases, or specific interests are considered far more valuable.( 事实证明,普通用户一年仅需广告主花费约2.5美分……而那些分享自身精确位置、高频消费记录或特定兴趣的用户,被认为价值要高得多。)”可知,从研究结果我们能得知更丰富的数据会提升用户的广告价值。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“But privacy experts ask a harder question: How many of us truly understand what we are giving away? Each click, each search, each location update becomes a data point.(但隐私专家提出了一个更尖锐的问题:我们当中有多少人真正明白自己正在交出什么?每一次点击、每一次搜索、每一次位置更新,都会成为一个数据点。)”可知,隐私专家可能会提出在免费内容和数据泄露之间权衡这个建议。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This brings us to an uncomfortable truth: if you are not paying for the product, you are the product.(这让我们面对一个令人不安的真相:如果你没有为产品付费,那么你自己就是产品。)”,第五段“Some might say this system works for everyone: users get free content, advertisers find potential customers, and websites earn money. (有些人可能会说这套机制对所有人都有利:用户能获取免费内容,广告主能找到潜在客户,网站也能赚到钱。)”以及最后一段“After all, if you are the product, should you not know what you are worth?(说到底,如果你本身就是商品,难道不该知道自己价值多少吗?)”可知,作者承认有人认为这套系统对各方都有利,但同时指出这个体系存在隐私隐患,主张提高透明度,不是全盘否定,是谨慎批判。

Many wonder if working with AI boosts creativity. While some studies show mixed results, researchers from the University of Cambridge argue that simply adding AI does not automatically improve ideas. Instead, success depends on clear guidance for both humans and AI on how to collaborate (合作).
Published in Information Systems Research, the study redefines “augmented learning” as a shared process where humans and AI adjust their roles together. Unlike traditional tools that just provide information, generative AI (GenAI) acts as an active collaborator. However, the research found that human-AI teams did not naturally become more creative over time. In fact, creativity often declined because teams stopped refining (改进) ideas and focused only on producing new ones.
The team conducted three studies involving hundreds of participants. They identified three collaboration types: humans proposing ideas, asking AI for ideas, and jointly refining them. Only the third method — joint refinement — significantly boosted creativity. Yet, participants rarely did this without instruction. When researchers clearly told participants to focus on exchanging feedback and improving existing concepts, creativity levels rose clearly.
Dr. Yeun Joon Kim, a co-author, noted, “We were surprised that things only got better when we purposely stepped in.” The study suggests that organizations must provide structure, such as templates (模板) and workflows (工作流程), to help employees treat AI as a true partner. For example, tasks should be divided into stages: AI produces choices, while humans evaluate and refine them.
The authors warn that rushing to adopt GenAI without understanding how to collaborate effectively will not guarantee better results. Future research may explore specific training programmes designed to teach these collaborative skills in various industries, ensuring that human-AI partnerships lead to stronger joint outcomes rather than just more content.
12. According to the study, why did creativity decline in human-AI teams?
A. The humans refused to trust the AI. B. The teams ignored improving their ideas.
C. The researchers gave too many rules. D. The AI tools were not smart enough.
13. What does Dr. Kim’s comment imply in Paragraph 4?
A. Active guidance is necessary for better results.
B. AI collaboration works best naturally without help.
C. AI should replace humans in creative tasks.
D. Most employees are afraid of using new technology.
14. What will the article most likely discuss in the following paragraph?
A. Examples of companies that failed to adopt GenAI.
B. The history of AI development since 2022.
C. Differences between human and AI art.
D. Methods or programmes to train people to work with AI.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. How to Collaborate with Employees B. Why AI Will Replace Human Workers
C. How to Make Human-AI Teams Creative D. Why More Ideas Lead to Higher Creativity
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于人机协作创造力的研究,指出单纯引入AI并不能自动提升创造力,关键在于人与AI如何进行有效的协作。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In fact, creativity often declined because teams stopped refining (改进) ideas and focused only on producing new ones. (事实上,创造力常常下降,因为团队停止完善想法,只专注于产生新想法。)”可知,人机团队的创造力下降是因为团队忽略了改进已有的想法。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Dr. Yeun Joon Kim, a co-author, noted, “We were surprised that things only got better when we purposely stepped in.” The study suggests that organizations must provide structure, such as templates (模板) and workflows (工作流程), to help employees treat AI as a true partner. (合著者Yeun Joon Kim博士指出:‘我们感到惊讶的是,只有当我们有意介入时,情况才会好转。’该研究表明,组织必须提供结构,例如模板和工作流程,以帮助员工将AI视为真正的合作伙伴。)”可知,Kim博士的言论暗示想要获得更好的协作效果,积极的引导是十分必要的。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Future research may explore specific training programmes designed to teach these collaborative skills in various industries, ensuring that human-AI partnerships lead to stronger joint outcomes rather than just more content.(未来的研究可能会探索旨在在各行各业教授这些协作技能的具体培训项目,以确保人机合作关系能带来更强大的共同成果,而不仅仅是更多的内容。)”可知,文章接下来最有可能讨论培训人们与AI合作的方法或项目。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章围绕如何提升人机团队的创造力展开论述。结合第一段中的“Instead, success depends on clear guidance for both humans and AI on how to collaborate (合作). (相反,成功取决于对人类和AI如何协作的明确指导。)”以及后文对三种协作模式的对比分析可知,最佳标题应为“How to Make Human-AI Teams Creative”。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain — a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak near where I live in Surrey, British Columbia. I was overweight at the time and out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved the challenge of conquering something big. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. My parents were happy I’d finally found a hobby.
I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen, whom I’d met in a Facebook group. Two years ago, on December 30, when I was 16, she and I drove to Oregon to tackle 11,240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 a.m., following the paths alongside the ski runs. The temperature was about -10℃, and we wore layers we could easily remove. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and four of us moved on together.
After about five hours, we reached Devil’s Kitchen, a plateau at about 10,000 feet, just before the final push to the top. By this point, the wind conditions were nasty. My exposed skin felt as though it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Mel and I went ahead. We had ice axes, helmets, and crampons (冰爪). We were prepared for the climb.
The trail we followed grew narrower and steeper. At around 9 a.m., we reached a patch of ice called an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. You gain a sense of the ice when you stick your axe and crampons into it, and it felt good.
Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and a whole piece of ice broke off the step, right under my foot. In an instant, I fell backward. I could hear Mel calling my name as I fell down, bouncing off the rock and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. I remember thinking, This is it. You’re done.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything I could.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I lay there with a broken leg, while Mel knelt beside me, calling for an ambulance.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything I could. The wind screamed in my ears, and the cold bit into my face like fire. My body rolled faster and faster until, by pure instinct, I slammed my ice axe into the snow. It struck deep, jerking my arm painfully, but it held. My fall stopped. For a moment, I just hung there, trembling, the world silent except for my heartbeat. Then I heard Mel shouting my name from above. “Hold on!” she cried. I could see her figure moving carefully down the slope toward me. Together, inch by inch, we managed to reach a narrow ledge.
I lay there with a broken leg, while Mel knelt beside me, calling for an ambulance. She pressed her down jacket around my waist to keep me warm, her hand squeezing mine. “Help’s coming,” she said, voice steady even as her hands shook. Soon the ambulance arrived. On the way to hospital, I stared at the snow, thinking of the 100 peaks I’d climbed. I’d been so proud of “conquering” them, but this fall taught me: climbing’s not about winning. It’s about respecting nature — and leaning on friends when you stumble. That lesson mattered more than any summit.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者13岁时开始登山,16岁时和朋友Mel去攀登胡德山,在接近山顶的冰阶处,作者踩断冰块,从山上滚落,最终用冰镐停下,虽腿部骨折但幸存下来,这次经历让作者明白登山不是征服,而是尊重自然、依靠朋友的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:

第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In today’s global trade, product safety is extremely important. Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark, which proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company’s own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese “CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the “CCC” mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important. The French “FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守). Codes like “SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
1. Which mark is required for a digital camera to be sold in Europe?
A. FR.
B. CE.
C. SKC.
D. RoHS.
2. Which risk is least likely to occur according to this product label?
A. Cuts.
B. Poisoning.
C. Burns.
D. Choking.
3. What can be learned about this product from the label?
A. It is allowed to be sold in China.
B. Its packaging cannot be recycled.
C. It can be opened by children alone.
D. It restricts certain harmful substances.
B
Jessica Matthews is an inventor who uses technology to do social good. Born in the United States to Nigerian parents, Jessica grew up experiencing two different cultures. This unique background inspired her to think about global challenges in new ways.
At just 19 years old, while studying mechanical engineering in college, Jessica and her classmates brainstormed a groundbreaking idea: a soccer ball that could produce electricity. The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families struggled without regular electricity. The Soccket Ball, a name combining “soccer” and “socket”, looks like any other soccer ball, but it has a special feature. As you play with it, the ball captures the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power small devices like LED lights. For many families without regular electricity, this invention can make a big difference.
Despite gaining support from global organizations and media attention, the product faced unexpected difficulties after its launch. Many users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to live up to the promised three years of useful life. The problems led to criticism from users and negative headlines, putting pressure on Uncharted Play, the company Jessica founded. The team openly admitted that they hadn’t expected the equipment to be so damaged by rough play in the country and promised to revise the design with stronger materials and improved internal parts.
Despite these setbacks, Jessica and her team at Uncharted Play continued to work on energy solutions. Their latest invention, a portable jump rope that generates electricity, builds on the Soccket’s success with a more durable, lightweight design. Designed for both children and adults, the jump rope can power small devices like phones or flashlights, expanding the reach of their mission. Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits education, health, and economic opportunities. Her journey proves that even simple, fun activities-like playing soccer or jumping rope-can be transformed into powerful tools to address pressing global affairs.
4. What inspired Jessica to invent the Soccket Ball?
A. Her mechanical engineering studies. B. Her trip to America with her family.
C. The energy shortage problem she noticed. D. Her unique cross-cultural background.
5. Why did the Soccket Ball disappoint users?
A. It didn’t last as long as expected. B. It performed with high costs.
C. It was uncomfortable to play with. D. It was criticized by the media.
6. What does Jessica finally hope to achieve?
A. To discover more possible tools for power generation.
B. To improve people’s lives through sports and play.
C. To achieve worldwide market success for her inventions.
D. To solve global power shortage with playful solutions.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Jessica?
A. Gifted and selfless. B. Humorous and polite.
C. Creative and responsible. D. Outgoing and careful.
C
You open a free weather app. Seconds later, an ad for running shoes appears. Have you ever wondered how much the advertiser paid to reach you?
When you visit a website or open an app, your personal information, including location, device type, and browsing habits, is packaged into an “ad request.” This request is sent to an ad marketplace. Advertisers then bid (竞拍) in real time for the chance to show you an ad. The highest bidder wins, and their ad appears on your screen. All of this happens in less than 100 milliseconds.
This brings us to an uncomfortable truth: if you are not paying for the product, you are the product. Instead of charging you money, advertisers collect your data and sell access to your attention. You are what is being traded.
So what price do advertisers put on a person? To get reliable figures, researchers ran their own advertising campaigns. They analyzed one full year of mobile browsing data from 1,600 users. It turned out that a typical user cost advertisers only about 2.5 cents over the year. Most people cost advertisers less than 10 cents in total. But about 2% of users cost between one and ten dollars. Who are these valuable individuals? Those who share data about their exact location, frequent purchases, or specific interests are considered far more valuable.
Some might say this system works for everyone: users get free content, advertisers find potential customers, and websites earn money. But privacy experts ask a harder question: How many of us truly understand what we are giving away? Each click, each search, each location update becomes a data point. Together, these points create a detailed picture of who you are — sometimes more detailed than you would ever accept.
The team later developed a browser tool to show users their true price. Their goal is simple: transparency (公开透明). After all, if you are the product, should you not know what you are worth?
8. How does an ad reach a user?
A. The users choose ads themselves. B. Advertisers compete to display ads.
C. Marketplaces sell the user’s identity. D. Apps select one from browsing history.
9. What can we learn about the research findings?
A. Each ad costs about 2.5 cents.
B. Purchase history is the top pricing factor.
C. High-value users form a large group.
D. Richer data increase users’ advertising value.
10. Which of the following may privacy experts suggest?
A. Stop using free online services. B. Share details for personalized ads.
C. Weigh free content against data exposure. D. Compare prices across advertising marketplaces.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward the system?
A. Cautiously critical. B. Strongly opposed. C. Largely neutral. D. Generally supportive.
D
Many wonder if working with AI boosts creativity. While some studies show mixed results, researchers from the University of Cambridge argue that simply adding AI does not automatically improve ideas. Instead, success depends on clear guidance for both humans and AI on how to collaborate (合作).
Published in Information Systems Research, the study redefines “augmented learning” as a shared process where humans and AI adjust their roles together. Unlike traditional tools that just provide information, generative AI (GenAI) acts as an active collaborator. However, the research found that human-AI teams did not naturally become more creative over time. In fact, creativity often declined because teams stopped refining (改进) ideas and focused only on producing new ones.
The team conducted three studies involving hundreds of participants. They identified three collaboration types: humans proposing ideas, asking AI for ideas, and jointly refining them. Only the third method — joint refinement — significantly boosted creativity. Yet, participants rarely did this without instruction. When researchers clearly told participants to focus on exchanging feedback and improving existing concepts, creativity levels rose clearly.
Dr. Yeun Joon Kim, a co-author, noted, “We were surprised that things only got better when we purposely stepped in.” The study suggests that organizations must provide structure, such as templates (模板) and workflows (工作流程), to help employees treat AI as a true partner. For example, tasks should be divided into stages: AI produces choices, while humans evaluate and refine them.
The authors warn that rushing to adopt GenAI without understanding how to collaborate effectively will not guarantee better results. Future research may explore specific training programmes designed to teach these collaborative skills in various industries, ensuring that human-AI partnerships lead to stronger joint outcomes rather than just more content.
12. According to the study, why did creativity decline in human-AI teams?
A. The humans refused to trust the AI. B. The teams ignored improving their ideas.
C. The researchers gave too many rules. D. The AI tools were not smart enough.
13. What does Dr. Kim’s comment imply in Paragraph 4?
A. Active guidance is necessary for better results.
B. AI collaboration works best naturally without help.
C. AI should replace humans in creative tasks.
D. Most employees are afraid of using new technology.
14. What will the article most likely discuss in the following paragraph?
A. Examples of companies that failed to adopt GenAI.
B. The history of AI development since 2022.
C. Differences between human and AI art.

When trying to find your career, it’s important to know which subjects you do well in at school. ____16____ A student gifted at mathematics might find engineering a good fit. Someone good at writing may do well in office work. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs, but if it is one of your strong subjects, you will have developed the ability to remember facts and details. ____17____
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. ____18____ If so, look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job, think about what you gained from it. You may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions, and to work with older colleagues. ____19____ Just as important, a part-time job may help you become interested in a particular industry or career by giving you an inside look.
____20____ You may be all thumbs at handling tools or struggle to add up a column of figures. It is better to face a weakness than to pretend it does not exist.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain — a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak near where I live in Surrey, British Columbia. I was overweight at the time and out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved the challenge of conquering something big. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. My parents were happy I’d finally found a hobby.
I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen, whom I’d met in a Facebook group. Two years ago, on December 30, when I was 16, she and I drove to Oregon to tackle 11,240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 a.m., following the paths alongside the ski runs. The temperature was about -10℃, and we wore layers we could easily remove. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and four of us moved on together.
After about five hours, we reached Devil’s Kitchen, a plateau at about 10,000 feet, just before the final push to the top. By this point, the wind conditions were nasty. My exposed skin felt as though it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Mel and I went ahead. We had ice axes, helmets, and crampons (冰爪). We were prepared for the climb.
The trail we followed grew narrower and steeper. At around 9 a.m., we reached a patch of ice called an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. You gain a sense of the ice when you stick your axe and crampons into it, and it felt good.
Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and a whole piece of ice broke off the step, right under my foot. In an instant, I fell backward. I could hear Mel calling my name as I fell down, bouncing off the rock and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. I remember thinking, This is it. You’re done.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything I could.

I lay there with a broken leg, while Mel knelt beside me, calling for an ambulance.
