You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare (噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored. Though these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undoubtedly changed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation (航行). Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp loss in special memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort. That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better results. Research shows that mild stress can improve adaptability (适应性). Neuroscience (神经科学) shows that neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections — is improved through challenging experiences. This adaptability is important for developing resilience (抗逆力), a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort. But this doesn’t mean we should reject comfort entirely; it’s to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship” — a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we’ve buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn’t easy, but sometimes, it’s worth it. 24. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph I probably mean? A. Possible to change. B. Certain to function. C. Unlikely to be settled. D. Unable to be accepted. 25. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text? A. The meaningful engagement. B. The fast but worthless relief. C. The lack of necessary comfort. D. The loss of thinking ability. 26. Which is a real-life application of “microdosing hardship”? A. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. B. Ordering take-out food after work. C. Writing an email using voice-to-text. D. Exploring a new city by using GPS. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. GPS: the invisible (隐形的) cost of convenience. B. Stress: the main cause of brain damage. C. Discomfort: a hidden source of resilience. D. Smartphones: barriers (障碍) to human progress. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了现代社会中人们对数字技术的过度依赖及其带来的负面影响，强调了适度不适的重要性，并提出了通过“微量困难”（microdosing hardship）来增强个人适应力和韧性。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare (噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched.(想象一下，有一天早上醒来，发现你的智能手机不见了。你再也不能用它导航去上班，点咖啡，或者和朋友联系了。对我们大多数人来说，这是一场噩梦。但这并不_____)”可知，这里的语境是假设智能手机突然消失的情景虽然令人不安，但它不应该是不能被接受的。故划线词意思是“不能被接受”。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored.(这一切都是因为我们越来越依赖社交媒体和智能技术，这些技术旨在提供快速的解脱，但往往以牺牲深刻而有意义的参与为代价，这可能会进一步导致我们失去一些容易被忽视的东西)”以及第三段“Though these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills.(虽然这些便利提供了短期的解脱，但它们可能会削弱我们的思维能力)”可知，数字便利可能导致思考能力的下降。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Think of it as “microdosing hardship” — a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand.(把它想象成“微量困难”——一系列小的、可以管理的困难，这些困难能让我们的心理和情绪肌肉保持强壮，比如用笔写字，或者用手洗碗)”可知，采取“微量困难”的实际行动是做一些小的、可以管理的困难的事情，A选项“爬楼梯而不是乘电梯”符合“微量困难”的含义。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious.(尽管我们比以往任何时候都更加数字化地联系在一起，但我们却更加孤独和焦虑)”、第三段“Though these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills.(虽然这些便利提供了短期的解脱，但它们可能会削弱我们的思维能力)”以及第四段中“That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us.(这就是问题所在：我们避免的不适往往正是让我们变得坚强的东西)”可知，文章主要讲述了现代生活中人们过于依赖智能手机和各种智能技术，造成了一些不良后果，如焦虑、抑郁、思维能力下降等。作者认为，我们应该适当减少对这些便利的依赖，通过面对一些“微小的不便”来增强自己的抗逆力，C选项“不适感：韧性的隐藏来源”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 C A new kind of fuel made from the power of the sun, which could revolutionize motoring, has been invented by scientists. The solar-powered technology changes carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuel that can be directly dropped into a vehicle’s engine. The researchers from the University of Cambridge controlled and used the power of photosynthesis (光合作用) to transform CO2, water and sunlight into multi-carbon fuels — ethanol and propanol (乙醇和丙醇) — in a single step. These fuels have a high energy density and can be easily stored or transported, according to scientists whose work was published in Nature Energy. “Shining sunlight on the artificial leaves and getting liquid fuel from carbon dioxide and water is an amazing bit of chemistry,” said Dr Rahaman, the new study’s first author. “Normally, when you try to change CO2 into another chemical product, you almost always get CO or syngas, but here, we’ve been able to produce a practical liquid fuel just using the power of the sun.” They managed this by developing a specific catalyst (催化剂), optimized to allow the artificial leaves to produce more complex chemicals. Unlike fossil fuel, these solar fuels produce net zero carbon emissions, and unlike most bioethanol, they do not take any agricultural land away from food production. “While the technology is only in the laboratory phase, the ‘artificial leaves’ are an important step in the transition away from a fossil fuel-based economy,” the researchers said. Bioethanol is often regarded as a cleaner alternative to gas since it’s made from plants instead of fossil fuel. The United States is the world’s largest bioethanol producer. Almost 45% of all corn grown in the USA is used for ethanol production. Currently, the artificial leaves and the specific catalyst are proof of concept devices and demonstrate only limited performance. The researchers are now working to optimize the light absorbers so that they can better absorb sunlight and optimize the catalyst so it can transform more sunlight into fuel. Further work will also be needed so the device can be mass-produced and make large volumes of fuel. 28. What is a potential advantage of the new fuels? A. Accelerating photosynthesis. B. Storing ethanol and propanol. C. Promoting the use of renewable energy. D. Increasing the speed of current vehicles. 29. What did Dr Rahaman mainly want to show in paragraph 3? A. The components of the artificial leaves. B. The difficulty of changing CO2 into CO. C. The innovation of the transformation process. D. The factors of producing a practical liquid fuel. 30. What did the researchers say about the new fuels? A. They are less economical than fossil fuel. B. They mark a significant shift from fossil fuel. C. They are merely appropriate for laboratory use. D. They require more agricultural land than bioethanol. 31. What does the last paragraph tell us about the artificial leaf technology? A. Its ability to thoroughly replace fossil fuel. B. Its improving efficiency and production capacity. C. Its present widespread application and performance. D. Its immediate impact on the mass-producing artificial leaves. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发明了一种利用太阳能将二氧化碳和水转化为液体燃料的新技术，并讨论了其优势、创新性及未来发展。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The solar-powered technology changes carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuel that can be directly dropped into a vehicle’s engine.(这种太阳能技术将二氧化碳和水转化为液体燃料，可以直接注入汽车的发动机)”可知，这种燃料是通过太阳能技术将二氧化碳和水进行转化而来的，因此其潜在优势是促进可再生能源的使用。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Shining sunlight on the artificial leaves and getting liquid fuel from carbon dioxide and water is an amazing bit of chemistry,” said Dr Rahaman, the new study’s first author. “Normally, when you try to change CO2 into another chemical product, you almost always get CO or syngas, but here, we’ve been able to produce a practical liquid fuel just using the power of the sun.”(这项新研究的第一作者Dr Rahaman说：“将阳光照射在人造叶子上，从二氧化碳和水中获取液体燃料，这是一门令人惊叹的化学。”他说：“通常情况下，当你试图将二氧化碳转化为另一种化学产品时，你几乎总是得到一氧化碳或合成气，但在这里，我们已经能够利用太阳的力量生产出一种实用的液体燃料”。)”可知，Dr Rahaman主要展示转换过程的创新，通常情况只能得到一氧化碳或合成气，但这次却能够利用太阳的力量生产出一种实用的液体燃料。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““While the technology is only in the laboratory phase, the ‘artificial leaves’ are an important step in the transition away from a fossil fuel-based economy,” the researchers said.(研究人员说：“虽然这项技术还处于实验室阶段，但‘人造叶子’是向脱离化石燃料经济转型的重要一步。)”可知，研究人员认为这种新能源标志着从化石燃料的重大转变。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Currently, the artificial leaves and the specific catalyst are proof of concept devices and demonstrate only limited performance. The researchers are now working to optimize the light absorbers so that they can better absorb sunlight and optimize the catalyst so it can transform more sunlight into fuel. Further work will also be needed so the device can be mass-produced and make large volumes of fuel.(目前，人工叶子和特定的催化剂只是概念验证装置，只表现出有限的性能。研究人员正在努力优化光吸收器，以便更好地吸收阳光，并优化催化剂，使其能够将更多的阳光转化为燃料。还需要进一步的工作，以便该设备可以大规模生产和制造大量的燃料。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是人工叶技术的提高效率和生产能力。故选B。 D In 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries, economies, and daily life. The adoption of AI in sectors like healthcare, education, and finance has accelerated, driven by advancements in machine learning, natural language processing, and generative AI. A Gartner survey reveals that 80% of enterprises are now leveraging AI in some form, up from 50% in 2022, highlighting its rapid integration into business operations. One of the most notable trends in 2024 is the rise of generative AI tools, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Gemini. These tools have revolutionized content creation, with 35% of companies using them for marketing, customer service, and product development, as reported by McKinsey. Additionally, the education sector has seen a surge in AI adoption, with 60% of high schools in the U.S. incorporating AI-powered platforms to personalize learning experiences, according to EdTech Magazine. However, the widespread use of AI has also raised concerns. A Pew Research study found that 52% of Americans are worried about AI’s impact on jobs, particularly in industries like retail and manufacturing, where automation is replacing human labor. On the other hand, 67% of professionals believe AI will create more jobs than it displaces, as noted in a World Economic Forum report. Ethical concerns, such as data privacy and algorithmic bias, remain critical challenges. For instance, 45% of consumers in a Deloitte survey expressed distrust in AI systems due to potential misuse of personal data. In conclusion, 2024 is a pivotal (关键的) year for AI, marked by unprecedented growth and adoption across industries. While challenges like job displacement and ethical concerns persist, the potential benefits of AI in driving innovation, efficiency, and personalized solutions are undeniable. As AI continues to evolve, its impact on society will depend on how effectively we address these challenges and harness its potential for good. 32.

You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information, because it isn’t in your notes. ____36____ And furthermore, they got the question right. ____37____ It is a common frustration. Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says. As you can imagine, college lectures can be much longer and more detailed than the lectures you receive in high school. For this reason, many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand (速记). ____38____ You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line (潦草书写的) language. You simply come up with a set of symbols or abbreviations (缩写) for common words that you find in lectures. Developing shortcuts in your writing is not a new idea, of course.

She once longed to be a professional dancer, practicing diligently for hours in the dance studio. Before long, however, she found she lacked real enthusiasm for dancing and began to consider quitting. Her father was seated at the kitchen table reading a newspaper when she mentioned her latest ambition. His eyebrows knitted with concern as he said, “Your dreams have shifted from horse riding to swimming, then to dancing, and now the violin.” He let out a soft sigh, “You’ve never committed to anything long enough to master it.” “I’ll persevere this time, Dad. I won’t quit halfway,” Kathy promised firmly. After a moment of quiet thought, her father nodded in approval, saying, “Hold on to your resolution this time,” wishing his daughter’s new interest would grow into lasting devotion. Months slipped by quickly, yet Kathy’s violin still produced sharp, unpleasant sounds. Overcome with disappointment, she doubted whether she should give it up altogether. Noticing her low spirits, her father patted her shoulder gently and led her to a nearby river. He handed her a big iron pot and asked her to boil some water. Kathy collected dry branches, filled the pot with river water, and lit the fire. But the pot was too large; when the firewood burned out, the water remained cold. Determined to succeed, she gathered more wood, even as a splinter (刺) pricked her finger and made it bleed. With her father’s support, she kept the fire blazing steadily until the water finally boiled violently. 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。 The boiling water suddenly hit Kathy with something. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since then, Kathy has totally changed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The boiling water suddenly hit Kathy with something. Just as the large pot needed constant and enough firewood to boil, learning a skill required consistent effort and patience. Giving up halfway was like letting the fire die out before water warmed up. She understood why she had failed at so many hobbies — she had never persisted long enough to see real progress. “Dad, I understand now. Mastering the violin requires patience, not hurry. I’ll keep practicing earnestly, never giving up halfway.” Her eyes lit up with a new understanding as she thanked her father for his silent but meaningful lesson. Since then, Kathy has totally changed. She practiced the violin with steady determination, no longer discouraged by unpleasant sounds. She repeated difficult passages patiently, making small improvements each day. She actively sought guidance from her teacher and corrected mistakes. Gradually, her playing became smooth and beautiful. This experience taught her that success never comes easily. Only by sticking to a goal with perseverance can one turn a simple dream into a remarkable achievement. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了凯西梦想多变，总是半途而废，父亲通过“煮水”的生活实例让她明白做任何事情都需要持续的努力和耐心，最终凯西下定决心苦练小提琴并取得进步的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写凯西看着锅里的水，联想到自己学习小提琴的经历，明白了“坚持”的道理，并向父亲表达了继续练习的决心。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写凯西如何刻苦练习小提琴，不再被困难吓倒，以及最终取得的进步和对这一人生感悟的总结。 2. 续写线索：领悟道理 —— 决心坚持 —— 刻苦练习 —— 寻求指导 —— 取得进步 —— 感悟成功 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 放弃：give up/quit/abandon ② 坚持：persevere/persist/stick to/hold on to 情绪类 ① 认真地：earnestly/seriously/devotedly ② 耐心地：patiently/with patience 【点睛】【高分句型1】She understood why she had failed at so many hobbies — she had never persisted long enough to see real progress.(运用了why引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Her eyes lit up with a new understanding as she thanked her father for his silent but meaningful lesson.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年长安第一中学上学期9月阶段检测 高一年级英语试题 试卷合计8页，150分，120分钟 第I卷（选择题95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the woman doing with the man’s book?

On this field trip, we hope to see a variety of waterfowl and raptors (肉食鸟), including Northern Harriers, Rough-legged Hawks, etc. Birders will be led by Dan Williams, who has lived in the nearby village for over 50 years and has been birding for more than 45 years. He has been the President and past board member of the Natural Land Institute and the owner of Nygren Wetland Preserve. PLEASE REMEMBER THESE GUIDELINES: ●Preregistration with the trip leader is required; you are NOT registered until you receive a confirmation letter. ●Field trips are open to nonmembers. ●Anyone not feeling well is not allowed to apply. ●It is expected that all field trip participants will follow the recommendations regarding personal safety. ●Attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. FIELD TRIP PARTICIPANTS Participants need to remember that the weather can be variable, and paths can be muddy, slippery, or even snow-covered. Therefore, keep yourself informed about the weather and dress accordingly. Also, depending on the weather, bring protection for biting insects, sun, rain, or winter cold. We expect everyone to enjoy birding in a safe and comfortable manner. Visitors are always welcome! Birding trips are free of charge. FIELD TRIP COORDINATORS (协调者) Karen Warner (k-warner@comcast.net) and Sherry Courtney (Sherry courtney10@gmail.com) manage the trip calendar and send you a registration confirmation letter. Contact them if you have any questions. 21. What can best describe the trip leader according to the text? A. Strict. B. Conventional. C. Patient. D. Experienced. 22.

What are participants recommended to do before the trip? A. Pay the admission fee. B. Send a confirmation letter. C. Track the weather updates. D. Investigate the trip location. B Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare (噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored. Though these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undoubtedly changed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation (航行). Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp loss in special memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort. That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better results. Research shows that mild stress can improve adaptability (适应性). Neuroscience (神经科学) shows that neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections — is improved through challenging experiences. This adaptability is important for developing resilience (抗逆力), a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort. But this doesn’t mean we should reject comfort entirely; it’s to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship” — a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we’ve buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause.

C A new kind of fuel made from the power of the sun, which could revolutionize motoring, has been invented by scientists. The solar-powered technology changes carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuel that can be directly dropped into a vehicle’s engine. The researchers from the University of Cambridge controlled and used the power of photosynthesis (光合作用) to transform CO2, water and sunlight into multi-carbon fuels — ethanol and propanol (乙醇和丙醇) — in a single step. These fuels have a high energy density and can be easily stored or transported, according to scientists whose work was published in Nature Energy. “Shining sunlight on the artificial leaves and getting liquid fuel from carbon dioxide and water is an amazing bit of chemistry,” said Dr Rahaman, the new study’s first author. “Normally, when you try to change CO2 into another chemical product, you almost always get CO or syngas, but here, we’ve been able to produce a practical liquid fuel just using the power of the sun.” They managed this by developing a specific catalyst (催化剂), optimized to allow the artificial leaves to produce more complex chemicals. Unlike fossil fuel, these solar fuels produce net zero carbon emissions, and unlike most bioethanol, they do not take any agricultural land away from food production. “While the technology is only in the laboratory phase, the ‘artificial leaves’ are an important step in the transition away from a fossil fuel-based economy,” the researchers said. Bioethanol is often regarded as a cleaner alternative to gas since it’s made from plants instead of fossil fuel. The United States is the world’s largest bioethanol producer. Almost 45% of all corn grown in the USA is used for ethanol production. Currently, the artificial leaves and the specific catalyst are proof of concept devices and demonstrate only limited performance. The researchers are now working to optimize the light absorbers so that they can better absorb sunlight and optimize the catalyst so it can transform more sunlight into fuel. Further work will also be needed so the device can be mass-produced and make large volumes of fuel. 28. What is a potential advantage of the new fuels? A. Accelerating photosynthesis. B. Storing ethanol and propanol. C. Promoting the use of renewable energy. D. Increasing the speed of current vehicles. 29. What did Dr Rahaman mainly want to show in paragraph 3? A. The components of the artificial leaves. B. The difficulty of changing CO2 into CO. C. The innovation of the transformation process. D. The factors of producing a practical liquid fuel. 30. What did the researchers say about the new fuels? A. They are less economical than fossil fuel. B. They mark a significant shift from fossil fuel. C. They are merely appropriate for laboratory use. D. They require more agricultural land than bioethanol. 31. What does the last paragraph tell us about the artificial leaf technology? A. Its ability to thoroughly replace fossil fuel. B. Its improving efficiency and production capacity. C. Its present widespread application and performance. D. Its immediate impact on the mass-producing artificial leaves. D In 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries, economies, and daily life. The adoption of AI in sectors like healthcare, education, and finance has accelerated, driven by advancements in machine learning, natural language processing, and generative AI. A Gartner survey reveals that 80% of enterprises are now leveraging AI in some form, up from 50% in 2022, highlighting its rapid integration into business operations. One of the most notable trends in 2024 is the rise of generative AI tools, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Gemini. These tools have revolutionized content creation, with 35% of companies using them for marketing, customer service, and product development, as reported by McKinsey. Additionally, the education sector has seen a surge in AI adoption, with 60% of high schools in the U.S. incorporating AI-powered platforms to personalize learning experiences, according to EdTech Magazine. However, the widespread use of AI has also raised concerns. A Pew Research study found that 52% of Americans are worried about AI’s impact on jobs, particularly in industries like retail and manufacturing, where automation is replacing human labor. On the other hand, 67% of professionals believe AI will create more jobs than it displaces, as noted in a World Economic Forum report. Ethical concerns, such as data privacy and algorithmic bias, remain critical challenges. For instance, 45% of consumers in a Deloitte survey expressed distrust in AI systems due to potential misuse of personal data. In conclusion, 2024 is a pivotal (关键的) year for AI, marked by unprecedented growth and adoption across industries. While challenges like job displacement and ethical concerns persist, the potential benefits of AI in driving innovation, efficiency, and personalized solutions are undeniable. As AI continues to evolve, its impact on society will depend on how effectively we address these challenges and harness its potential for good. 32. What is a key application of generative AI tools according to McKinsey? A. Automating retail manufacturing. B. Creating content for business purposes. C. Reducing educational costs. D. Monitoring data privacy violations. 33. What can be inferred about public opinions on AI’s impact? A. Retail workers strongly support AI-driven automation. B. Consumers distrust AI solely due to algorithmic bias. C. Professionals and the general public hold conflicting views. D. Most Americans prioritize job creation over ethical concerns. 34. What does the author suggest is essential for AI’s positive societal impact? A. Accelerating technological advancements. B. Implementing strict global regulations on AI. C. Balancing innovation with ethical solutions. D. Expanding automation across industries. 35. Which is the best title for the text? A. AI in 2024: Progress and Challenges. B. Ethical Dilemmas in AI Development. C. The Unstoppable Rise of AI Technology. D. How AI Transforms Education and Business. 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。 Have you ever gazed at a test question and wondered where on earth it came from?

She once longed to be a professional dancer, practicing diligently for hours in the dance studio. Before long, however, she found she lacked real enthusiasm for dancing and began to consider quitting. Her father was seated at the kitchen table reading a newspaper when she mentioned her latest ambition. His eyebrows knitted with concern as he said, “Your dreams have shifted from horse riding to swimming, then to dancing, and now the violin.” He let out a soft sigh, “You’ve never committed to anything long enough to master it.” “I’ll persevere this time, Dad. I won’t quit halfway,” Kathy promised firmly. After a moment of quiet thought, her father nodded in approval, saying, “Hold on to your resolution this time,” wishing his daughter’s new interest would grow into lasting devotion. Months slipped by quickly, yet Kathy’s violin still produced sharp, unpleasant sounds. Overcome with disappointment, she doubted whether she should give it up altogether. Noticing her low spirits, her father patted her shoulder gently and led her to a nearby river. He handed her a big iron pot and asked her to boil some water. Kathy collected dry branches, filled the pot with river water, and lit the fire. But the pot was too large; when the firewood burned out, the water remained cold. Determined to succeed, she gathered more wood, even as a splinter (刺) pricked her finger and made it bleed. With her father’s support, she kept the fire blazing steadily until the water finally boiled violently. 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。 The boiling water suddenly hit Kathy with something. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since then, Kathy has totally changed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Done, you have you finished my latest book in the magic . door series?
