This will be a great opportunity to learn more about all this and how we can apply them in our work. I'm looking forward to IT. IT will be both informative and inspiring. Good afternoon, anna.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is one of the most popular technologies in the twenty first century. IT can be a computer that beats you in the chess game. IT can be a robot that helps you with your housework. IT can also be a program which can write songs. Aviva is such a programme. A viva is created by some computer programmer. They put thousands of songs by famous musicians in. After taking a few seconds to learn those songs, a viva finds her own way to write her own songs. If the programmers tell a vivo what they want about a song, SHE can make IT in just a few minutes. Now, aviva is the first world famous AI song writer. Plenty of her songs have been used in films, games and ad, although people hardly know that they have been made by a computer program. Now a river can only write classical music, so the programmers plan to give her more. In that case, we will be able to write all kinds of songs. Besides, there is no need to worry that AI will take the place of musicians. Instead, IT will work together with them and make Better songs.

Here are the four most common payment choices.Contactless Payments Contactless payments are perfect for drivers in a hurry. With contactless payments, you just tap your phone, and charging starts right away. Operators charge drivers small extra fees, and contactless payments don’t offer discounts.App-Based Payments For home charging users, the apps make it easy to track and manage home charging costs. For operators, app-based systems enable you to collect driver behavior data to improve station performance. New drivers might find the app download and account setup a bit troublesome. The phone signal is necessary for users.Card Payments For older drivers or those who prefer traditional payment methods, card payments are very accessible. For those operators, card readers are easy to set up and maintain and they’re a great alternative if contactless or app systems go wrong. Card payments carry small service fees. Also, card readers need regular care to prevent damage.PnC Payments In a PnC (Plug & Charge) EV charging process, charging starts once you plug in. Plug & Charge payments are linked to a contract (合同) associated with the vehicle and enabled by ISO 15118 using digital certificates. A great EV charger payment system should make charging easier for both drivers and operators. These four payment methods are ready for you to choose from and backed by our round-the-clock after-sales service. 21．(2.5分)Which payment method needs mobile phone signal? A．Contactless Payments. B．Card Payments. C．App-Based Payments. D．PnC Payments. 22．(2.5分)What do Contactless Payments and Card Payments have in common? A．They are suitable for hurried drivers. B．A contract is associated with vehicles. C．Small extra fees are charged to drivers. D．They need regular care against damage. 23．(2.5分)Where is the text probably taken from? A．An online blog. B．An advertisement. C．A science report. D．A fashion magazine. 【答案】21．C 22．C 23．B 【导语】文章介绍了电动汽车充电桩四种主流支付方式，分别说明各类支付方式的优缺点。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据App-Based Payments部分“The phone signal is necessary for users.(用户必须有手机信号才能使用。)”可知，基于应用程序的支付方式需要手机信号。 22．细节理解题。根据Contactless Payments部分“Operators charge drivers small extra fees, and contactless payments don’t offer discounts.(运营商会向驾驶者收取少量额外手续费，并且非接触式支付不提供折扣优惠。)”以及Card Payments部分“Card payments carry small service fees.(刷卡支付会产生少量服务费。)”可知，两种支付方式的共同点是都会向使用者收取小额费用。 23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“These four payment methods are ready for you to choose from and backed by our round-the-clock after-sales service.(这四种支付方式可供您选择，并且配备我们全天候售后服务。)”可知，文章带有产品推介、宣传的性质，属于广告文体。 （本题10分）Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world? The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world. Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available. What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses (掌握) ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. That is to say: the ideas about science that we now have the strongest support for have no protection to rely on, and they are only an open invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded. 24．(2.5分)Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1? A．To add some fun. B．To express doubts. C．To introduce the topic. D．To provide background. 25．(2.5分)What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world? A．It can be timeless. B．It can be improved. C．It is of little value. D．It is the best at any moment. 26．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment? A．Positive. B．Objective. C．Negative. D．Indifferent. 27．(2.5分)What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A．It is unwise to believe in science. B．Too much uncertainty lies in science. C．The foundation of science is unfounded. D．The lack of certainty makes science credible. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了科学值得信赖的原因在于其不断改进且不确信已掌握终极真理。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them.(科学是一个建立在现有理论和知识基础上并不断修正它们的过程)”及“So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?(那么，既然科学一直处于变化之中，为何它还值得人们信赖呢？倘若未来我们看待世界的方式，不再与牛顿或爱因斯坦的认知相同，我们又为何要重视当下的科学对世界的描述呢？)”结合第二段中“The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have.(答案很简单：因为在历史的任何特定时刻，这个对世界的描述都是我们所拥有的最好的描述)”可知，作者在首段提出问题是为了引出“科学为什么可靠”这一话题。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.(因为在历史的任何特定时刻，这个对世界的描述都是我们所拥有的最好的描述。它可以被改进的事实，并不能削弱它是一个理解世界的有效工具这一事实)”可知，我们今天对世界的科学描述是当前最好的，并且是可以被改进的。故选B。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中“In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work.(事实上，如今使用的不少常见药物都起源于民间疗法，而我们至今仍不清楚它们的作用原理。但这并不意味着民间疗法普遍有效。恰恰相反，很多民间疗法其实是无效的。科学疗法的独到之处，在于它愿意对疗法进行严谨检验，且一旦发现某种疗法被证实无效，便会及时调整思路)”可知，作者既肯定部分民间疗法经证实有效且成为现代药物源头，又指出很多民间疗法无效，并说明科学疗法与民间疗法的区别在于是否愿意接受检验和及时修正。作者的表述客观中立，无明显偏向。故选B。 27．段落大意题。根据第四段中“What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty.(现代科学之所以独特而强大，是因为它拒绝相信已经掌握了终极真理。科学的可靠性不是基于确定性，而是基于完全缺乏确定性)”可知，本段核心观点是：科学的可信性恰恰源于其不认为自己是绝对确定的，即缺乏确定性让科学具有可信度。故选D。 （本题10分）The metaverse (元宇宙) , a virtual world that combines virtual reality (VR) , augmented reality (AR) and the Internet, has become a hot topic in recent years. It is not just a new form of entertainment but a new space for people to work, study, communicate and live, which is expected to change the way we live and interact with the world. The metaverse brings many new possibilities to people’s lives. In terms of work, people can work in a virtual office with colleagues from all over the world without going out, which saves time and travel costs. For example, a designer in China can cooperate with a team in the United States in a virtual studio, sharing ideas and modifying designs in real time. In education, the metaverse can create immersive learning environments. Students can “visit” ancient civilizations, dive into the deep sea or even travel to outer space through VR equipment, making learning more interesting and vivid. In daily life, people can make friends, attend virtual concerts and try on virtual clothes in the metaverse, enriching their spiritual life. However, the development of the metaverse still faces many obstacles. First, the technology of the metaverse is not yet mature. VR and AR equipment is relatively expensive, and the virtual experience is not yet perfect, which limits the number of people who can access it. Second, there are hidden risks in data security and privacy protection. In the metaverse, people need to provide a lot of personal information, which may be stolen or misused by criminals. Third, the metaverse may lead to some social problems, such as people being addicted to the virtual world and ignoring real-life interactions. To promote the healthy development of the metaverse, governments, enterprises and individuals need to work together. Governments should formulate relevant laws and regulations to standardize the development of the metaverse and protect users’ data security and privacy. Enterprises should increase investment in technology research and development to improve the virtual experience and reduce the cost of equipment. Individuals should use the metaverse rationally, balance the time spent in the virtual world and real life. With joint efforts, the metaverse will better serve people and bring more convenience and happiness to our lives. 28．(2.5分)What is the metaverse according to the passage? A．A new form of online entertainment only. B．A virtual world combining VR, AR and the Internet. C．A new type of mobile phone application. D．A real-world space for people to work and study. 29．(2.5分)Which of the following is NOT a possibility brought by the metaverse? A．Working in a virtual office with global colleagues. B．Having immersive learning experiences. C．Ignoring real-life interactions completely. D．Attending virtual concerts in daily life. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Opportunities. B．Advantages. C．Difficulties and challenges. D．Solutions. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the development of the metaverse? A．Negative. B．Optimistic. C．Doubtful. D．Neutral. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了元宇宙带来的可能性、面临的发展障碍以及促进其健康发展的建议。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The metaverse (元宇宙) , a virtual world that combines virtual reality (VR) , augmented reality (AR) and the Internet, has become a hot topic in recent years.

In daily life, people can make friends, attend virtual concerts and try on virtual clothes in the metaverse, enriching their spiritual life.(元宇宙为人们的生活带来了许多新的可能性。在工作方面，人们足不出户就可以与来自世界各地的同事在虚拟办公室中工作，节省了时间和差旅成本。例如，中国的一位设计师可以在虚拟工作室中与美国的一个团队合作，实时分享想法并修改设计。在教育方面，元宇宙可以创造沉浸式学习环境。学生可以通过VR设备“参观”古代文明、潜入深海甚至前往外太空，让学习变得更加有趣和生动。在日常生活中，人们可以在元宇宙中交友、参加虚拟音乐会、试穿虚拟服装，丰富精神生活。)”可知，元宇宙带来的可能性包括虚拟办公、沉浸式学习、参加虚拟音乐会，不包括完全忽视现实互动。 30．词义猜测题。根据文章划线词后文的内容“First, the technology of the metaverse is not yet mature. VR and AR equipment is relatively expensive, and the virtual experience is not yet perfect, which limits the number of people who can access it. Second, there are hidden risks in data security and privacy protection. In the metaverse, people need to provide a lot of personal information, which may be stolen or misused by criminals. Third, the metaverse may lead to some social problems, such as people being addicted to the virtual world and ignoring real-life interactions.(首先，元宇宙的技术尚不成熟。VR和AR设备相对昂贵，虚拟体验还不够完美，这限制了能够接触它的人数。其次，数据安全和隐私保护存在隐患。在元宇宙中，人们需要提供大量个人信息，这些信息可能被犯罪分子窃取或滥用。第三，元宇宙可能导致一些社会问题，例如人们沉迷于虚拟世界而忽视了现实生活中的互动。)”可知，空后列举了元宇宙技术的不成熟、存在的隐私风险和社会问题，这些都是其发展过程中遇到的困难，由此推测“obstacles”与C项“Difficulties and challenges.(困难和挑战)”意思相近，即元宇宙的发展仍面临许多困难。 31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With joint efforts, the metaverse will better serve people and bring more convenience and happiness to our lives.(在共同努力下，元宇宙将更好地服务人类，为我们的生活带来更多便利和幸福。)”可知，作者认为在各方努力下，元宇宙将更好地服务于人类，由此可推断作者对元宇宙的发展持乐观态度。 （本题10分）Smart devices have become an important part of modern smart life, turning tiresome daily tasks into efficient and enjoyable experiences. These devices, which are equipped with internet connectivity and intelligent features, are designed to simplify our lives, save time and reduce energy waste. One of the most popular types of smart devices is smart portable gadgets (设备). Smart power banks, for example, come with intelligent digital displays that show real-time battery levels, charging speeds and device status. Some even have a “find my device” function, which helps users locate the power bank easily. These features make portable charging more convenient and user-friendly, especially for people who are constantly on the move and busy. In the home, smart appliances are making daily chores much easier. Smart refrigerators can track food inventory and send reminders when food is about to expire, helping to reduce food waste. Smart washing machines can be controlled remotely, allowing you to start or stop a wash cycle from your phone. Smart kitchen appliances, such as smart ovens and air fryers, come with pre-set programs that make cooking simpler and more consistent, even for those who are not good at cooking. Many smart devices can learn our daily routines and automate certain functions accordingly. For example, a smart coffee maker can make coffee automatically at the time you usually wake up, so you can start your day with a fresh cup of coffee without any effort. These small conveniences add up, making our daily lives more efficient and enjoyable. As technology continues to advance, more and more smart devices will enter our lives, bringing new possibilities for smart living. Whether it’s at home, at work or on the go, smart devices are helping us live a more convenient, efficient and comfortable life, and they will continue to play an important role in shaping the future of smart life. 32．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of smart devices?

(这些设备配备了互联网连接和智能功能，旨在简化我们的生活、节省时间并减少能源浪费。)”可知，智能设备的主要目的是让日常生活更简单、高效。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的句子“Smart power banks, for example, come with intelligent digital displays that show real-time battery levels, charging speeds and device status. Some even have a “find my device” function, which helps users locate the power bank easily. These features make portable charging more convenient and user-friendly, especially for people who are constantly on the move and busy. (例如，智能充电宝配有智能数字显示屏，可显示实时电池电量、充电速度和设备状态。有些甚至有“查找我的设备”功能，帮助用户轻松找到充电宝。这些功能使便携充电更加方便易用，尤其是对于经常外出忙碌的人。)”可知，智能充电宝更受经常外出的人欢迎。 34．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的句子“Many smart devices can learn our daily routines and automate certain functions accordingly. (许多智能设备可以学习我们的日常生活习惯，并相应地自动执行某些功能。)”可知，智能设备的特别之处在于它们能适应我们的习惯和偏好。 35．主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了智能设备如何简化日常生活，包括便携式智能设备、智能家居设备等，并强调了它们对生活的积极影响。因此，“Smart Devices: Changing Our Daily Life (智能设备：改变我们的日常生活)”最适合作为文章标题。 （本题12.5分）Is Technology Ruining Your Memory? When was the last time you memorized a phone number? It’s probably been years, since you can just use your phone to store it. 36(2.5分) . In today’s digital world, “digital amnesia” — the loss of memory due to overreliance on technology — is becoming more common. Hopefully, there are ways you can take to overcome it. Start a Screen-Free Day 37(2.5分) . If you need something to wake you up, avoid using your phone, as it’ll likely stimulate you to check your messages before you’ re even stepping out of bed. By not staring at your devices, you’ll give your brain a break. Exercise Your Memory Instead of depending on your phone, set out to design a reliable workout plan, which uses printed instructions to train your memory. 38(2.5分) , but physical paper is the key. It allows you to exercise your brain to find the answer within the pages themselves, rather than turning to your phone for help. 39(2.5分) There is no denying that using your digital devices is extremely convenient. However, they can be harmful to your mental health and productivity. Although we can try and avoid using digital devices, it is undeniable that we will need them for certain tasks. 40(2.5分) . Simplifying your digital life can help overcome digital amnesia. Despite the so-called digital amnesia, technology does have its place in our lives. It can be a very effective tool, but its usefulness, or uselessness, entirely depends on your attitude. You have to learn how to use it correctly so it doesn’t take over. A．Simplify your digital life B．Avoid using digital devices C．There are several memory techniques you can use D．People can’t remember simple facts without checking their devices E．Start choosing one day of the week to put away your digital devices F．People now use devices to remember not just numbers, but many other things G．Removing unnecessary apps or features can help you be less dependent on your devices 【答案】36．F 37．E 38．C 39．A 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“数字健忘症”这一因人们过度依赖科技获取信息而导致大脑记忆能力衰退的新现象，并提出了设立无屏幕日、锻炼记忆力、简化数字生活等克服该现象的方法，最后指出科技的价值取决于人们的使用态度。 【详解】36．根据上文“When was the last time you memorized a phone number? It’s probably been years, since you can just use your phone to store it.(你上一次记住一个电话号码是什么时候呢？可能已经过去好些年了，从你还能单纯用手机来存储它的时候算起)”可知，前文提到“你可能多年没记过电话号码，因为手机能储存”，需衔接“数字健忘症”的成因——过度依赖科技记东西。F选项“现在人们不仅用设备记数字，还记很多其他东西”既承接了“记电话号码”的例子，又扩展了依赖场景，为后文“数字健忘症”的出现做铺垫，符合逻辑。故选F。 37．该段小标题是“Start a Screen-Free Day(开启无屏幕日)”，空格处需具体说明如何执行这一建议。E选项“开始每周选一天收起你的电子设备”符合语境。故选E。 38．小标题为“Exercise Your Memory(锻炼你的记忆力)”以及后文“but physical paper is the key(但纸质材料是关键)”可知，空格内容与“纸质材料”形成转折或补充关系，且需围绕“记忆锻炼方法”展开。故C选项“你可以运用多种记忆技巧”是对锻炼记忆力具体方法的补充，符合段落关于训练记忆的内容。故选C。 39．根据后文“There is no denying that using your digital devices is extremely convenient. However, they can be harmful to your mental health and productivity. Although we can try and avoid using digital devices, it is undeniable that we will need them for certain tasks.(无可否认，使用电子设备非常方便。然而，它们可能会对你的心理健康和工作效率造成负面影响。尽管我们可以尽量避免使用电子设备，但不可否认的是，某些任务确实需要它们)”可知，此处需填小标题，概括该段核心内容。后文提到“简化数字生活有助于克服数字健忘症”，核心关键词是“simplify your digital life”。A 选项“简化你的数字生活”直接点明段落核心，且与后文“simplifying your digital life”完全呼应，作为小标题最恰当。故选A。 40．根据上文“Although we can try and avoid using digital devices, it is undeniable that we will need them for certain tasks.(尽管我们可以尽量避免使用电子设备，但不可否认的是，某些任务确实需要它们)”以及后文“Simplifying your digital life can help overcome digital amnesia.(简化你的数字生活有助于克服数字失忆症)”可知，前文提到“我们确实需要电子设备完成某些任务”，后文强调“简化数字生活有帮助”，空格处需衔接“需要设备”和“简化”，给出具体的简化方式。G选项“清除不必要的应用程序或功能有助于减少您对设备的依赖程度”符合语境。故选G。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）On a cold Budapest afternoon,64-year-old Györgyi Petik Kis eagerly hurries to the library.

His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage he and his wife had built. Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all-consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40-minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care. coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (头像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home-bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately. A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog’s service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer’s took hold. Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim’s sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony’s screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws. 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。 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】      Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. Memories flashed through Jim’s mind. It had been more than a year since his wife’s death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore. That day, though, he gazed at the photo affectionately and declared emotionally, “I still love her”. Sensing Jim’s sadness, Pony sent hearts to Jim on the screen and comforted him. Uplifted by Pony’s loving remarks, Jim petted Pony’ screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head again. Pony responded with its tail wagging cheerfully. Arlyn sat in silence, with an illusion of slipping back to the old happy days.       Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. She was amazed at Pony’s heart-warming service and her dad’s fondness for Pony. Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times.

Here are the four most common payment choices.Contactless Payments Contactless payments are perfect for drivers in a hurry. With contactless payments, you just tap your phone, and charging starts right away. Operators charge drivers small extra fees, and contactless payments don’t offer discounts.App-Based Payments For home charging users, the apps make it easy to track and manage home charging costs. For operators, app-based systems enable you to collect driver behavior data to improve station performance. New drivers might find the app download and account setup a bit troublesome. The phone signal is necessary for users.Card Payments For older drivers or those who prefer traditional payment methods, card payments are very accessible. For those operators, card readers are easy to set up and maintain and they’re a great alternative if contactless or app systems go wrong. Card payments carry small service fees. Also, card readers need regular care to prevent damage.PnC Payments In a PnC (Plug & Charge) EV charging process, charging starts once you plug in. Plug & Charge payments are linked to a contract (合同) associated with the vehicle and enabled by ISO 15118 using digital certificates. A great EV charger payment system should make charging easier for both drivers and operators. These four payment methods are ready for you to choose from and backed by our round-the-clock after-sales service. 21．(2.5分)Which payment method needs mobile phone signal? A．Contactless Payments. B．Card Payments. C．App-Based Payments. D．PnC Payments. 22．(2.5分)What do Contactless Payments and Card Payments have in common? A．They are suitable for hurried drivers. B．A contract is associated with vehicles. C．Small extra fees are charged to drivers. D．They need regular care against damage. 23．(2.5分)Where is the text probably taken from? A．An online blog. B．An advertisement. C．A science report. D．A fashion magazine. （本题10分）Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world? The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world. Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available. What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses (掌握) ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. That is to say: the ideas about science that we now have the strongest support for have no protection to rely on, and they are only an open invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded. 24．(2.5分)Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1? A．To add some fun. B．To express doubts. C．To introduce the topic. D．To provide background. 25．(2.5分)What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world? A．It can be timeless. B．It can be improved. C．It is of little value. D．It is the best at any moment. 26．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment? A．Positive. B．Objective. C．Negative. D．Indifferent. 27．(2.5分)What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A．It is unwise to believe in science. B．Too much uncertainty lies in science. C．The foundation of science is unfounded. D．The lack of certainty makes science credible. （本题10分）The metaverse (元宇宙) , a virtual world that combines virtual reality (VR) , augmented reality (AR) and the Internet, has become a hot topic in recent years. It is not just a new form of entertainment but a new space for people to work, study, communicate and live, which is expected to change the way we live and interact with the world. The metaverse brings many new possibilities to people’s lives. In terms of work, people can work in a virtual office with colleagues from all over the world without going out, which saves time and travel costs. For example, a designer in China can cooperate with a team in the United States in a virtual studio, sharing ideas and modifying designs in real time. In education, the metaverse can create immersive learning environments. Students can “visit” ancient civilizations, dive into the deep sea or even travel to outer space through VR equipment, making learning more interesting and vivid. In daily life, people can make friends, attend virtual concerts and try on virtual clothes in the metaverse, enriching their spiritual life. However, the development of the metaverse still faces many obstacles. First, the technology of the metaverse is not yet mature. VR and AR equipment is relatively expensive, and the virtual experience is not yet perfect, which limits the number of people who can access it. Second, there are hidden risks in data security and privacy protection. In the metaverse, people need to provide a lot of personal information, which may be stolen or misused by criminals. Third, the metaverse may lead to some social problems, such as people being addicted to the virtual world and ignoring real-life interactions. To promote the healthy development of the metaverse, governments, enterprises and individuals need to work together. Governments should formulate relevant laws and regulations to standardize the development of the metaverse and protect users’ data security and privacy. Enterprises should increase investment in technology research and development to improve the virtual experience and reduce the cost of equipment. Individuals should use the metaverse rationally, balance the time spent in the virtual world and real life. With joint efforts, the metaverse will better serve people and bring more convenience and happiness to our lives. 28．(2.5分)What is the metaverse according to the passage? A．A new form of online entertainment only. B．A virtual world combining VR, AR and the Internet. C．A new type of mobile phone application. D．A real-world space for people to work and study. 29．(2.5分)Which of the following is NOT a possibility brought by the metaverse? A．Working in a virtual office with global colleagues. B．Having immersive learning experiences. C．Ignoring real-life interactions completely. D．Attending virtual concerts in daily life. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Opportunities. B．Advantages. C．Difficulties and challenges. D．Solutions. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the development of the metaverse? A．Negative. B．Optimistic. C．Doubtful. D．Neutral. （本题10分）Smart devices have become an important part of modern smart life, turning tiresome daily tasks into efficient and enjoyable experiences. These devices, which are equipped with internet connectivity and intelligent features, are designed to simplify our lives, save time and reduce energy waste. One of the most popular types of smart devices is smart portable gadgets (设备). Smart power banks, for example, come with intelligent digital displays that show real-time battery levels, charging speeds and device status. Some even have a “find my device” function, which helps users locate the power bank easily. These features make portable charging more convenient and user-friendly, especially for people who are constantly on the move and busy. In the home, smart appliances are making daily chores much easier. Smart refrigerators can track food inventory and send reminders when food is about to expire, helping to reduce food waste. Smart washing machines can be controlled remotely, allowing you to start or stop a wash cycle from your phone. Smart kitchen appliances, such as smart ovens and air fryers, come with pre-set programs that make cooking simpler and more consistent, even for those who are not good at cooking. Many smart devices can learn our daily routines and automate certain functions accordingly. For example, a smart coffee maker can make coffee automatically at the time you usually wake up, so you can start your day with a fresh cup of coffee without any effort. These small conveniences add up, making our daily lives more efficient and enjoyable. As technology continues to advance, more and more smart devices will enter our lives, bringing new possibilities for smart living. Whether it’s at home, at work or on the go, smart devices are helping us live a more convenient, efficient and comfortable life, and they will continue to play an important role in shaping the future of smart life. 32．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of smart devices?

His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage he and his wife had built. Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all-consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40-minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care. coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (头像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home-bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately. A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog’s service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer’s took hold. Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim’s sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony’s screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws. 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。 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
